EU’s stablecoin regulation ranked most restrictive globally, analysis shows
The EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation has been identified as the most restrictive stablecoin framework globally. This regulation imposes stringent compliance requirements, including significant reserve mandates and market access barriers for foreign issuers. As a result, many major stablecoins, including Tether's USDT, have faced delisting from European exchanges due to non-compliance.
- ▪MiCA's stablecoin rules came into effect on June 30, 2024, with full implementation by December 30, 2024.
- ▪All stablecoins must maintain 1:1 backing with segregated assets, with at least 30% of reserves held in bank deposits.
- ▪Circle is currently the only major global issuer to have achieved compliance with MiCA regulations.
