The European Banking Authority (EBA) has classified Circle's USDC stablecoin as a higher-tier e-money token under the EU's Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations. This new status means USDC will be jointly supervised by the EBA and France's Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution, subjecting it to closer regulatory scrutiny. USDC, the world's second-largest stablecoin with a market cap of around $73 billion, joins a small group of 46 e-money tokens in the EU. This move reflects growing demand for regulated US dollar-pegged stablecoins in Europe, even as the European Central Bank continues to explore launching a digital euro potentially by 2029.
The EU regulator's classification of Circle's USDC stablecoin under MiCA oversight rules provides context for cryptocurrency market activity.
