Artikel 145 Ändring av förordning (EU) nr 1095/2010

This is an amending article, meaning it does not stand alone but instead modifies an existing piece of EU legislation — specifically Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010, which established the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).

The article updates the description of ESMA's scope of action to formally include this regulation (MiCA) alongside its existing list of mandating legislation.

In practical terms, this means ESMA's authority now explicitly extends to crypto-asset issuers, offerors, persons seeking admission to trading, and crypto-asset service providers, as well as the competent authorities that supervise them.

Important points:

• ESMA's mandate is formally extended to cover MiCA, placing crypto-asset market participants within its supervisory scope.
• The extension of ESMA's powers applies to the extent that the listed acts govern firms providing investment services, collective investment undertakings, and crypto-asset market participants and their supervisors.
• This article connects directly to the broader architecture of MiCA, complementing Article 144 which makes the equivalent amendment to EBA's founding regulation.
