Circle, issuer of USDC and EURC stablecoins, has proposed that the EU revise its MiCA regulation to replace mandatory fixed bank-deposit minimums with more flexible, liquidity-based reserve requirements. Currently, issuers must hold 30-60% of reserves as commercial bank deposits, which Circle argues could stress banks during large redemptions. The company also supports cross-border issuance and an equivalence regime for foreign issuers to keep stablecoin markets competitive and compliant within the EU. This proposal aligns with suggestions from the European Central Bank and reflects Circle's two years of experience operating under MiCA.
Circle's call for changes in EU stablecoin reserve rules provides context for cryptocurrency market activity.
