The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has released a draft for public opinion on the competency assessment guidelines for employees of cryptocurrency service providers. According to the proposal, practitioners need to possess professional knowledge in key features of encrypted assets, market operations, blockchain technology, and understand regulatory frameworks and tax impacts. ESMA requires service providers to conduct annual assessments of employee development needs, maintain qualification records, and conduct regular assessments. The draft for soliciting opinions is open for consultation until April 22nd, and ESMA plans to release the final guidelines in the third quarter of this year. （Cointelegraph） https://www.
