USDC now dominates 56% of euro stablecoin trading after EU limits Tether's USDT in Europe

USD Coin (USDC) has surged to hold 56% of stablecoin trading against the euro, up from 10% in January 2024, following European exchanges restricting Tether's USDt (USDT) for customers in the European Economic Area under EU regulations. This shift reflects the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which limits USDT trading but allows dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDC to be exchanged against euros. The European Banking Authority has designated USDC as the EU's first significant e-money token, increasing regulatory oversight for its issuer, Circle. Meanwhile, new U.S. regulations under the GENIUS Act will impose reserve and redemption requirements on stablecoin issuers starting in 2027, signaling growing global regulatory focus on stablecoins.

Tether (USDT) remains actively traded on Pluang, with a market cap of Rp3.298,13 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of Rp927,79 trillion. The price of USDT is Rp18.148, showing a slight increase of 0.33% as of Oct 28, 2026 10:01 WIB.
