Circle's USDC stablecoin is the first to receive a significant e-money token classification under the EU's MiCA regulatory framework, following assessment by the European Banking Authority (EBA). This designation introduces a dual supervision model starting November 12, 2026, involving both the EBA and France's ACPR, enhancing oversight on funds, liquidity, governance, and risk management. The move marks a key regulatory milestone for stablecoins in the EU, with cross-border cooperation established between EU and U.S. regulators to manage USDC's international operations.
