ESMA launched a Common Supervisory Action (CSA) on 8 July 2026 targeting digital operational resilience of cryptoasset service providers (CASPs), particularly custody services, with national regulators conducting risk-based reviews from H2 2026 through H1 2027. The action focuses on DLT governance, key management, transaction controls, incident response, smart contracts, and third-party dependencies under MiCA and DORA frameworks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you hold customer crypto in Europe, national regulators will audit your key management, smart contract code, and incident response between now and mid-2027—and they're looking for failures, not boxes ticked. DORA compliance is no longer a future problem; it's being tested now against live custody operations.
