EU MiCA regulatory review and stablecoin enforcement

Overview

The formal review of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation continues to highlight tensions between industry innovation and regulatory oversight. Circle has intensified its calls for the European Commission to amend reserve requirements, arguing that mandates to hold 30% to 60% of reserves in commercial bank deposits create vulnerabilities. Circle and the European Central Bank (ECB) advocate for liquidity-based standards to ensure reserves can be made available within specific timeframes.

Regulatory enforcement has escalated through the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). ESMA has issued an opinion requiring MiCA-authorized crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) to cease all services related to non-compliant asset-referenced tokens (ART) and e-money tokens (EMT), such as USDT and PYUSD. This prohibition covers trading, custody, transfers, investment advice, and portfolio management, with a final compliance deadline of January 8, 2027.

Recent developments show a push for expanded oversight. The European Banking Authority (EBA) has recommended that the Commission expand MiCA to include crypto-asset lending and decentralized finance (DeFi) activities, proposing suitability tests, leverage limits, and a certification regime for DeFi protocols. Furthermore, the EU Council has agreed to place the most significant cross-border CASPs under direct ESMA supervision, moving away from a pure home-country passporting model.

As the framework enters a mature phase, the total number of authorized CASPs has risen, with Germany leading at 89 firms. In Slovenia, the Ministry of Finance has proposed legislative amendments to align national penalties with MiCA requirements. Meanwhile, the Czech National Bank continues to review new license applications, emphasizing that MiCA regulates provider conduct rather than the inherent risks of underlying assets.
