The European Securities and Markets Authority said in a November 9 announcement that the EU was seeking nominations for a European Tokenisation Standards Group. Applications are due November 27, 2026, so the effort is still at the membership-building stage.
The group is intended to coordinate practical standards for tokenized finance. The call for nominations does not set binding technical rules, approve cryptocurrency tokens or mean all tokenized assets will be regulated alike. Any benefits will depend on the standards proposed and whether the industry adopts them.
