This comprehensive book delves into three critical areas that have been the focal points of financial market regulation and supervision debates: digital finance, sustainable finance, and the Banking and Capital Markets Union. Within the first part, seven chapters explore diverse aspects of digital finance, including but not limited to artificial intelligence, tokenization, and international regulatory cooperation in digital financial services. The second part focuses on addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the climate crisis. Driven by political actors and a collective recognition of climate change as a severe threat, the quest for sustainable finance gains momentum. As financial institutions play a pivotal role in human interactions, they are subject to rigorous regulatory scrutiny. The chapters in this section examine sustainability in EU banking and insurance regulation, explore the interconnectedness between systemic risk and sustainability, and investigate the "greening" of EU monetary policy.

The third part examines two transformative projects that have reshaped the European financial market architecture over the past decade: the European Banking Union and Capital Markets Union. This transformation has raised numerous complex legal questions, which can only be gradually answered in their entirety. In four chapters, this book examines composite procedures, depositor property rights in banking resolution, preemptive financing arrangements, and the phenomenon of subsidiarization in the context of Brexit.

This book is of interest to academics, policymakers, practitioners, and students in the fields of EU financial regulation, banking law, securities law, and regulatory law. It provides a comprehensive compilation of analyses on pressing banking and capital markets law problems, offering valuable insights and perspectives to those engaged in this dynamic field.
