How MiCA Will Transform Euro-Denominated Stablecoins Market

The European Union’s new Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations, effective December 30, aim to bolster euro-denominated stablecoins.

MiCA's Impact on Stablecoins

Analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou at JPMorgan noted that under MiCA, only compliant stablecoins will be available as trading pairs on regulated markets. This will lead to a shift in the offerings of exchanges within the EU. The regulations require stablecoin issuers to hold significant reserves in European banks and obtain trading licenses.

Divergence in Stablecoin Market

These regulations have led to a divergence between compatible stablecoins like Circle’s EURC and non-compatible ones like Tether’s EURT, which have faced operational challenges. Tether announced in November that it would phase out its EURT stablecoin, allowing users to use the tokens for up to 12 months. The decision led to Tether’s USDT being delisted from several EU-based exchanges. Despite these challenges, Tether continues to dominate the global stablecoin market, especially in Asia where regulatory restrictions are less stringent.

Opportunities for Euro Stablecoins

The report highlights how MiCA presents opportunities for compatible euro-backed stablecoins. Circle’s EURC has emerged as a strong contender, benefiting from the regulatory clarity offered by MiCA. A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency that is pegged to a stable asset, such as the US dollar, or euro, designed to minimize price volatility. MiCA’s transparency and reserve-backing requirements aim to increase trust in these assets.

MiCA provides transparent conditions for the growth of euro-denominated stablecoins, allowing them to gain a more significant market position.
