European authorities are exploring the creation of a financial watchdog modeled after the U.S. SEC, according to recent reports from the Financial Times. The initiative, announced this week, aims to strengthen supervision across Europe’s capital markets.
The proposed regulator would oversee securities markets, ensuring transparency and investor protection while harmonizing rules across EU member states. Market participants, including exchanges, fund managers, and institutional investors, could face stricter reporting requirements and compliance audits. Experts suggest that the move reflects growing concern over market fragmentation and the need to respond to increasing crypto-related activity and cross-border trading risks. Lawmakers are reviewing the framework, which could take effect within the next two to three years, depending on negotiations among EU bodies.
Officials will continue consultations with industry stakeholders and may publish draft regulations by mid-2025. Investors and firms are advised to monitor updates closely, as early adaptation to reporting standards could minimize disruptions once the regulator is operational.
