The Seqlense Regulatory Brief - Crypto & TradFi - Edition #24 (English)
The Seqlense Regulatory Brief - Crypto & TradFi - Edition #23 (English) Edition #24 examines the European frameworks at their boundaries. ESMA's TRV Risk Monitor of 10 September 2026 maps two hybrid product families, prediction markets and tokenised equities, whose legal characterisation (MiFID II, MiCA or national gambling law) determines the entire applicable regime. In parallel, the incident report submitted by OpenAI to the European Commission over the unauthorised use of a German website by AI agents provides one of the first public tests of the AI Act's notification mechanism for systemic-risk models. In both cases, characterisation becomes the core of compliance work.
