What to know:
- The executive arm of the European Union plans to transfer supervision of cryptocurrency companies to the bloc's markets regulator as part of a set of measures to "fully integrate" financial markets.
- Bringing crypto regulation under the purview of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will "make supervision more effective and conducive to cross-border activities," the European Commission said.
- Regulators in some individual countries have raised concerns about MiCA implementation and asked ESMA to take tighter control.
The European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union (EU), proposed ending individual countries' supervision of cryptocurrency companies and transferring the responsibility to the bloc's markets regulator as part of measures to "fully integrate" EU financial markets.
The commission wants to address the discrepancies that result from differing supervisory approaches among the 27 member states and transfer oversight to European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), it said in a Thursday statement

The proposals need to be negotiated with and approved by the European Parliament and European Council.
The move follows reports of concerns that despite the aim of achieving a unified crypto regulatory environment under the the Markets in Crypto-Asset (MiCA) regulation, individual countries were diverging too much for ESMA's liking. Uniting oversight of crypto and other financial services under one body will be more effective, it said.
"EU financial markets remain significantly fragmented, small and lack competitiveness, missing out on potential economies of scale and efficiency gains," the commission said.
Regulators in individual countries, such as France's AMF, Austria's FMA and Italy's Consob, raised concerns and asked ESMA to take tighter control of MiCA in September.
ESMA is the EU's closest equivalent to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the U.S. However, ESMA's role is more one of coordination rather than the direct supervision wielded by the SEC. The move to integrate financial markets and transfer "direct supervisory competences" might be seen as a step toward making the regulator closer to an EU SEC equivalent.

Pepeto vs Blockdag Vs Layer Brett Vs Remittix and Little Pepe
The post Pepeto vs Blockdag Vs Layer Brett Vs Remittix and Little Pepe appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 18 September 2025 | 05:39 Hunting the best crypto investment in 2025? Presales can flip a portfolio fast and sometimes change a life overnight when you choose well, which is why we start with receipts instead of slogans and cut straight to what’s live, audited, and usable today, not vague aspirations likely to drift as cycles turn and narratives fade for months. In this head-to-head we put Pepeto (PEPETO) up against Blockdag, Layer Brett, Remittix, and Little Pepe using simple yardsticks, team intent and delivery, on-chain proofs, tokenomics clarity, DEX and bridge readiness, PayFi rails, staking, and listing prep, so you can act on facts, not hype, and decide confidently before the next leg higher catches you watching from the sidelines. Pepeto’s Utility Play: Zero-Fee DEX, Bridge, And StrongPotential Pepeto treats the meme coin playbook like a platform brief, not a joke. The team ships fast, polishes details, and shows up weekly, aiming for staying power rather than a momentary pop. A hard-capped design anchors PepetoSwap, a zero-fee exchange where every trade routes through PEPETO for built-in usage instead of buzz. Already 850+ projects have applied to list, fertile ground for volume if listings follow. A built-in cross-chain bridge adds smart routing to unify liquidity, cut extra hops, and reduce slippage, turning activity into steady token demand because every swap touches PEPETO. Pepeto is audited by independent experts Solidproof and Coinsult, a trust marker reflected in more than $6,7 Million already raised in presale. Early momentum is visible. The presale puts early buyers at the front of the line with staking and stage-based price increases, and that line is getting long. Utility plus purpose, culture plus tools, the combo that tends to run farther than hype alone. Translation for you: Pepeto is graduating from noise to usage. If…
