ESMA Reviews Malta’s CASP Licensing, Flags Gaps in Crypto Oversight
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LInkedIn


The European securities and Markets Authority conducted a peer review to
evaluate Malta’s oversight of crypto asset service providers amid changing EU
regulations. The review examined Malta’s authorisation process, governance
frameworks, anti-money laundering measures, and supervision after
authorisation.

While Malta’s financial authority demonstrated sufficient
resources and expertise, the report raised concerns about at least one case
where a provider was authorised despite unresolved issues. These included enforcement actions, weak governance, and insufficient assessment of business
risks, IT systems, and anti-money laundering controls.

Importance of Authorisation and Cross-Border Supervision

The report highlights that authorisation is a key tool for
managing risk and ensuring compliance. Since many CASPs operate cross-border,
strong and consistent supervision is necessary. National regulators must rely
on each other’s oversight to support a unified capital market.

Supervisory Gaps and Recommendations

Post-authorisation actions by the MFSA were generally
appropriate, though some issues should have been addressed earlier. ESMA
recommended that the MFSA revisit unresolved risks and strengthen its
evaluations of growth plans, IT resilience, and group governance.

For all EU regulators, ESMA called for better information
sharing and attention to risks such as unregulated DeFi activity, custody
operations, and user-facing interfaces. Clear risk warnings and cross-border
cooperation were also encouraged.

Positive Practices and MFSA’s Response

The report noted some good practices by the MFSA, such as
hiring crypto-specialised staff and engaging with the industry. The MFSA
welcomed the findings and committed to making improvements, citing its prior
experience in crypto regulation.

Malta Licenses Major Crypto Exchanges

Several well-known cryptocurrency exchanges, including Crypto.com,
OKX, Gate.io, and Gemini,
hold licenses issued by the MFSA. These
licenses allow them to operate under Malta’s regulatory framework for virtual
financial assets. The MFSA is responsible for ensuring that these companies
comply with relevant laws and regulations.
