The EBA and ESMA analyse recent developments in crypto-assets

January 16, 2025--The European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) today published a Joint Report on recent developments in crypto-assets, analysing decentralised finance (DeFi) and crypto lending, borrowing and staking. This publication is the EBA and ESMA's contribution to the European Commission’s report to the European Parliament and Council under Article 142 of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR).

EBA and ESMA find that DeFi remains a niche phenomenon, with value locked in DeFi protocols representing 4% of all crypto-asset market value at the global level. The report also sets out that EU adoption of DeFi, while above the global average, is lower than other developed economies (e.g. the US, South Korea).

The EBA and ESMA observe that the number of DeFi hacks and the value of stolen crypto-assets has generally evolved in correlation with the DeFi market size. Since flows on decentralised exchanges represent 10% of spot crypto trading volumes globally, DeFi protocols present significant risks of money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF).

EU funds continue to reduce costs-at low and varying pace

January 14, 2025--The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU financial markets regulator and supervisor, today publishes its seventh market report on the costs and performance of EU retail investment products, showing a decline in the costs of investing in key financial products.

Despite this decline the cost levels of funds in the EU remain high by international standards. With more than 50,000 funds and an average fund size almost 10 times smaller than that of for example US mutual funds, EU funds do not exhaust the economies of scale commensurate with the EU’s single market. The market inefficiencies revealed by this higher cost level shows the need to focus on the competitiveness of EU markets, within a future Savings and Investments Union.

The key findings in the report are:

UCITS costs decline gradually, from high levels: Costs have declined, but investors should continue to consider fund fees carefully in their investment decisions-especially since costs have not dropped for all categories of funds: ongoing costs of mixed funds and equity passive funds have been relatively stable over time.
