European regulators need more powers to police crypto, watchdog says监管机构称，欧洲监管机构需要更多权力来监管加密货币。
PARIS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The European Securities and Markets Authority said on Wednesday that European regulators should be given more powers to help them enforce crypto rules, and that ESMA should be able to tell crypto companies to freeze crypto assets when they have reasonable grounds to suspect that they are linked to crime.

PARIS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The European Securities and Markets Authority said on Wednesday that European regulators should be given more powers to help them enforce crypto rules, and that ESMA should be able to tell crypto companies to freeze crypto assets when they have reasonable grounds to suspect that they are linked to crime.
• ESMA said national regulators, who are responsible for enforcingthe European Union's crypto regulation, called MiCA, could be given powers to remove websites for scams or unauthorised crypto companies.
• They and ESMA should be given more power to make crypto companies freeze assets in the case of financial crime, money-laundering or terrorist financing,ESMA said.
• "Because of current lengthy procedures, when the freezing of suspicious crypto assets (linked to criminal activities) is requested, it is often too late and the assets have disappeared," it said.
• ESMA also proposed that certain misleading crypto marketing techniques should be banned and there should be rules for third-party marketing.
• Country-level regulators should be given specific powers to combat crypto companies in non-EU countries which actively solicit EU investors without having authorisation, ESMA said.
• It proposed that crypto companies should be required to provide full cost information to customers.
• The proposals are part of the watchdog's response to a consultation on MiCA, which is being reviewed. A group of central banks in Europe also published their response last week.
• Some regulators have expressed concern about regulatory divergence and patchy enforcement of the MiCA rules.

巴黎，9 月 30 日（路透社）——欧洲证券及市场管理局周三表示，应赋予欧洲监管机构更多权力，以帮助他们执行加密货币规则，并且当 ESMA 有合理理由怀疑加密货币与犯罪有关时，应该能够要求加密货币公司冻结加密资产。
• ESMA 表示，负责执行欧盟加密货币监管条例（MiCA）的国家监管机构可能会被赋予权力，以删除诈骗网站或未经授权的加密货币公司网站。
• ESMA表示，应赋予他们和ESMA更大的权力，以便在涉及金融犯罪、洗钱或恐怖主义融资的情况下，让加密货币公司冻结资产。
• 报告称：“由于目前的程序冗长，当请求冻结可疑加密资产（与犯罪活动有关）时，往往为时已晚，这些资产已经消失了。”
• ESMA 还提议禁止某些误导性的加密货币营销技巧，并制定第三方营销规则。
欧洲证券及市场管理局 (ESMA) 表示，应赋予国家级监管机构特定权力，以打击在未获得授权的情况下积极招揽欧盟投资者的非欧盟国家的加密货币公司。
• 该提案建议，应要求加密货币公司向客户提供完整的成本信息。
这些提议是监管机构对正在审查中的“MiCA”咨询的回应的一部分。欧洲一些中央银行上周也公布了他们的回应。
• 一些监管机构对监管分歧和MiCA规则执行不力表示担忧。
