Four French financial authorities have published a joint submission addressing the European Commission’s consultation on the review of the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation 1. The unified contribution brings together the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution, the Banque de France, and the Direction Générale du Trésor 1.

In the joint document, the regulatory bodies outline policy objectives intended to guide adjustments to the European digital asset regime 1. The authorities state that Europe should maintain a regulatory structure capable of fostering financial innovation while simultaneously advancing the competitiveness of the broader European Union financial sector 1.

Alongside sector competitiveness, the French authorities place direct emphasis on supervisory safeguards 1. The submission advocates for strengthened investor protection standards, measures to preserve systemic financial stability, and protections surrounding European Union monetary sovereignty under the evolving regulation 1.

The coordinated response comes amid broader EU evaluations of the regime, following related supervisory debates such as when ESMA proposes sweeping MiCA reforms and prior discussions where France urges EU to hold crypto exchanges liable for DeFi incidents.
