Malta's financial regulator opposes push to centralise EU crypto supervision PARIS (Reuters) -Malta's financial watchdog is opposed to a push by other countries to give the European Union's securities regulator more powers to supervise crypto companies, a spokesperson said on Tuesday. On Monday, France, Italy and Austria called for the Paris-based European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to take over supervision of major crypto companies, citing concerns that different countries are applying the EU's new crypto rules differently. The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), whose crypto licence-granting process came under scrutiny earlier this year, said that it supported ESMA's work to create "supervisory convergence" between regulators on crypto, but it didn't back centralisation.
