The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) has announced its 2025 Activity Plan, which outlines its supervisory priorities, including the oversight of crypto-assets. The announcement was made in a press release on February 26, 2025.
According to the CNMV's 2025 Activity Plan, there are 44 specific objectives aimed at improving market supervision and investor protection. Key initiatives include establishing a Retail Investor Protection and Financial Education Department. The plan addresses areas such as crypto-assets, sustainable finance, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence while streamlining internal procedures to enhance regulatory efficiency.
The plan emphasizes retail investor protection through enhanced financial education and fraud prevention efforts. It includes monitoring investment marketing strategies, overseeing compliance with cost reporting obligations, analyzing AI use by supervised entities, and publishing guidelines on digital investment practices. Additionally, the CNMV will monitor "finfluencers" for compliance with investment recommendation regulations and issue a Q&A document on MiCA regulation to clarify compliance requirements for crypto-asset service providers.
