European Securities and Markets Authority
EU securities authority and central MiCA data, standards, and supervisory-convergence body
European Union securities authority responsible for central MiCA registers, technical standards, market-data formats, and supervisory convergence. ESMA publishes CASP, issuer, whitepaper, and non-compliant-entity records supplied by national authorities and EBA. A whitepaper appearing in the register is not regulatory approval, and most firm authorisations remain decisions of the named national competent authority.
