The French Financial Market Authority - AMF - requested the HCJP's expertise in the context of the adaptation of French law to Regulations (EU) 2022/858, known as the "Pilot Regime", and (EU) 2023/1114, known as the "MiCA" Regulation, which establish a framework for the deployment of assets registered in distributed ledgers. The HCJP was to consider solutions for determining the law applicable to assets registered in ledgers operating on the basis of these technologies. Noting the existence of two regulatory and private law systems for financial securities and crypto-assets (I), the HCJP proposes adaptations to existing private international law solutions for financial securities (II) and suggests ways of developing new conflict of laws rules specific to crypto-assets (III).

The growing use of "cloud" computing technology and its widespread use within banking businesses raises undeniable challenges linked to the high concentration of technology service providers, the issue of digital sovereignty and the risk of non-compliance with financial regulations. After reviewing these issues, the HCJP report notes that the regulations governing the banking sector must evolve. Regulatory approaches to the outsourcing of banking services to the cloud at European and national level are incomplete and heterogeneous. This work puts forward several proposals for improving these regulations.
