The report outlined progress in aligning supervisory approaches across the EU and highlighting priorities for firms as the EBA prepares for the handover of (AML/CFT) supervision to the Anti-Money Laundering authority (AMLA) at the end of 2025.
Key updates include:
➡️ AML/CFT Supervision: The EBA reported stronger AML/CFT coordination and risk-based supervision to ensure consistent oversight ahead of AMLA’s 2025 transition;
➡️ Digital Finance and Markets in Cryptoassets Regulations (MiCA): The EBA prepared for MiCA by streamlining supervision and developing an EU-wide handbook for token oversight; and
➡️ Supervisory Convergence: The EBA is promoting consistent supervision through peer reviews, Q&As, and training to strengthen EU financial stability.
✅ Firms operating across the EU should review their reporting obligations and prepare for increased regulatory convergence and new supervisory structures through AMLA oversight.
