European Commission - Targeted consultation on integration of EU capital markets

The European Commission has launched a targeted consultation to gather feedback on obstacles to capital markets integration across the EU. This effort is a key part of rolling out the savings and investments union (SIU) strategy, adopted in March. The SIU strategy aims to boost the EU economy's competitiveness by improving the way the EU financial system mobilises savings towards productive investments, offering more and better financial opportunities for both citizens and businesses. The consultation is a crucial step in gathering information for the implementation of the SIU. The insights collected will help shape measures to be presented in a comprehensive package in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Commission calls on stakeholders to provide their views, facts, and evidence on barriers to cross‑border trading and post‑trading, scaling up investment funds, and harmonising supervisory practices, as well as on simplification.

EDPB - Public consultation on guidelines on processing of personal data through blockchain technologies

During its April 2025 plenary, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) has adopted guidelines on processing of personal data through blockchain technologies. As the use of blockchain technologies is expanding, the Board considers it important to help organisations using these technologies to comply with the GDPR. In its guidelines, the EDPB explains how blockchains work, assessing the different possible architectures and their implications for the processing of personal data. The guidelines highlight the importance of implementing technical and organisational measures at the earliest stages of the design of the processing. The EDPB also clarifies that the roles and responsibilities of the different actors in a blockchain-related processing of personal data should be assessed during the design of the processing. In addition, organisations should carry out a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) before processing personal data through blockchain technologies, where the processing is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals. According to the Board, organisations should also ensure the highest protection of individuals’ personal data during the processing so that they are not made accessible to an indefinite number of persons by default. The guidelines provide examples of different techniques for data minimisation, as well as for handling and storing personal data. Comments should be sent 9th June 2025 at the latest using the provided form

ESMA - Final report and draft RTS on the single volume cap, systematic internaliser and circuit breakers

ESMA published a final report containing a package of three draft technical standards, as part of the MiFIR Review. The final report contains technical standards on the: application of the single volume cap and transparency calculations, delivering a significant contribution to simplification and burden reduction with the phasing-out of daily reporting of transparency data for trading venues and Approved Publication Arrangements (APAs); new qualitative regime for Systematic Internalisers (SIs) harmonising the notification content and clarifying the notification procedure to be followed by investment firms acting as SIs; and rules on circuit breakers and operational resilience for trading venues, streamlining trading venues’ practices in setting circuit breakers and the information to be disclosed to the public. Following the DORA framework, the changes to this RTS will contribute to simplification, providing trading venues with enhanced legal clarity. The final report has been sent to the European Commission, who now has three months to decide whether to endorse the draft technical standards.

Banca d'Italia - Progetto sull'intelligenza artificiale nel settore finanziario italiano

La Banca d'Italia comunica che la Commissione europea - SG Reform, in cooperazione con l'Organizzazione per la Cooperazione e lo sviluppo economico (OCSE), ha avviato un progetto dedicato all'utilizzo dell'intelligenza artificiale (IA) nei mercati finanziari italiani. L'obiettivo del progetto è analizzare opportunità e rischi dell'impiego dell'IA per i mercati finanziari italiani e offrire indicazioni che contribuiscano a orientare le scelte delle autorità finanziarie italiane nella definizione di misure concrete volte a facilitare l'adozione dell'IA e, nel contempo, a contenerne i rischi, al fine di promuovere l'innovazione e favorire il contributo del settore finanziario alla crescita economica. L'OCSE ha inviato un questionario a varie tipologie di istituzioni finanziarie operanti in Italia (banche, investitori istituzionali, infrastrutture dei mercati finanziari, etc.). Seguiranno un'indagine ad hoc presso le autorità finanziarie italiane e una serie di workshop con rappresentanti selezionati dell'industria e delle istituzioni, italiane ed estere. La Banca d'Italia auspica un'ampia partecipazione da parte degli operatori coinvolti.

ESMA - Consultation on clearing thresholds under EMIR 3.0

ESMA is asking for input on the new clearing thresholds under the review of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR 3). The consultation paper is part of ESMA's mandate to develop Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on clearing thresholds, and covers the following areas: proposals for a revised set of clearing thresholds, considerations for hedging exemptions for non-financial counterparties, a trigger mechanism for reviewing the clearing thresholds. The revised clearing threshold methodology focuses on the activity in over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives not cleared at an authorised or recognised central counterparty (CCP). This approach assesses the risk associated with uncleared activity to determine if entities should be mandated to clear their OTC derivatives. The new methodology aims at ensuring a proportionate clearing obligation regime, focusing on entities with significant OTC derivatives activity and large uncleared positions.  The consultation will remain open until 16 June 2025.
