$USDC TAKES CENTER STAGE AS EUROPE ENFORCES MiCA STABLECOIN RULES 🔥
The divide is now official. Circle secured MiCA compliance for USDC and EURC, making it the only top-10 stablecoin issuer cleared for regulated EU venues. Meanwhile, Tether did not apply for the e-money-token authorization, leaving $185B in USDT outside licensed exchanges. BNY Mellon also listed USDC on its Digital Asset Custody platform the day before the deadline.
Of the 1,200 virtual-asset firms with pre-MiCA registrations, only 210 obtained full CASP authorization — a 17% conversion rate. That filtering effect now applies to stablecoins. The next weeks will determine whether EU volume migrates from USDT to USDC at scale, or if traders find workarounds.
