EU watchdogs flag foreign tech, AI and private credit as top financial risks

  • —ESAs list external dependencies, emerging tech and private credit as top EU financial risks
  • —Clearing, repo and credit rating markets in the EU rely heavily on non-EU entities
  • —AI and quantum computing flagged as threats to cryptography, including blockchains
  • —CryptoQuant estimates roughly 6.89 million BTC could face future quantum exposure
Why it matters: The warning is likely to accelerate the EU's push toward post-quantum cryptography and increase scrutiny of crypto infrastructure dependent on non-EU providers.
