The European Central Bank, the European Commission and the European Securities and Markets Authority have issued a call for nominations to a new industry body, the European Tokenisation Standards Group. The Commission announced the call on November 9. Its aim is to bring industry stakeholders together to develop common standards for an interconnected tokenised financial ecosystem, which in practice should make digital shares and bonds easier to move between banks and trading platforms. Crypto Insiders reported that today a digital share on one network often cannot be transferred to another, so each connection needs separate work.
According to the Commission page, the group will be chaired by industry participants, while the three institutions will act as observers. It will also set up a framework to monitor compliance with the standards and may recommend ways for EU authorities to encourage compliance. The call is aimed at wholesale financial industry stakeholders and is open to a broad range of applicants, including EU associations, private entities, global institutions, fintech companies and technical providers working on tokenisation or DLT-based financial services. Public bodies may also apply.
Applications are due by November 27, 2026. The Commission page does not say how many members the group will have or describe later milestones. Crypto Insiders reported that work is expected to start in January 2027, with first standards ready in early 2028, but that timeline does not appear on the Commission page and should be treated as unconfirmed.
