Final Report on Guidelines for Assessment of Knowledge and Competence under MiCA
The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued final guidelines requiring crypto-asset service providers to ensure their staff possess adequate knowledge and competence when providing information or advice on crypto-assets. The document establishes specific criteria, including minimum qualification thresholds and continuous professional development standards, to strengthen investor protection in a volatile market. These guidelines aim to harmonize supervisory practices across the EU and will apply six months after the publication of their translations.
