To make its capital markets more competitive and startup-friendly, the European Union is considering a major regulatory overhaul.

The plan would place stock and crypto exchanges under the central supervision of ESMA, creating a simpler, EU-wide rulebook.

This shift is designed to dismantle the costly complexity of dealing with 27 different national regulators, a key hurdle for growing companies seeking cross-border investment. The goal is to create a deeper, more integrated financial ecosystem that can rival the United States.
