Right now the world is moving in two very different directions when it comes to digital assets. Some regions are opening up and making it easier for people to use crypto. Others are locking things down and bringing in strict rules. This split is getting wider and it is starting to show how the next phase of crypto might look for normal users.

South Korea is taking the hard line. The country faced a major shock when a large breach at a top exchange led to more than one hundred four billion Solana based tokens leaving the platform in less than an hour. This was not just a simple mistake. It was a serious event that showed gaps in how platforms protect users.

Because of this the government is now thinking about bringing in rules that look like bank level protection. These rules would force exchanges to pay users for losses even in cases where the exchange was not directly at fault. Until now only banks and licensed payment firms worked under this kind of standard.

The head of the financial watchdog said that hacking cannot be ignored but also admitted that there are limits to how much regulators can punish platforms. This reaction did not come out of nowhere. There have been repeated outages across major trading platforms in the country along with slow reporting of incidents. Lawmakers are also pushing for a new rule set for stablecoins which adds even more pressure on the local industry.

While Asia is tightening control Europe is moving in the opposite direction. Banks across the region are starting to offer crypto services as a normal part of customer accounts. One of the largest banking groups in France has opened access to Bitcoin Ethereum Solana and a major stablecoin to about two million users through local banking apps. This is a sign that large banks now see crypto as something people expect to use in normal life.

The setup is simple with a basic account and clear fees while custody is handled by a partner. But the important thing is not the one bank. Big banks in Spain have also opened full trading and custody for retail users. Fintech companies are moving fast too and pulling in millions of customers. With this level of competition old banks have to change or risk losing younger users who want fast and modern services.

At the same time not every part of Europe is moving in step. Poland has blocked its own crypto oversight bill which means the country is now out of sync with the rest of the region. This is happening while other countries like Italy push forward with stronger investor protection rules.

The world is now moving on two paths. Asia is adding more controls while Europe is speeding up adoption. With banks opening access and some countries falling behind the next phase of crypto will be shaped by how these regions handle risk safety and user demand.

Stablecoin rankings are overwhelmingly dollar-based. USDT, USDC and other USD tokens dominate supply and usage, with dollars representing around 99% of a $300+ billion market. #euro stablecoins, at roughly $600 million, appear insignificant, especially at a time when Europe’s public debate focuses more on CBDC than on privately issued euro stablecoins.

However, today’s numbers can be misleading. #Stablecoins already settle real economic activity at scale. In 2024, they processed roughly $28 trillion, surpassing Visa and Mastercard combined. This signals the emergence of a parallel settlement rail that already functions at a systemic scale.

The problem for #Europe is that almost all of this activity settles in dollars rather than euros. Euro stablecoins aren’t small because the euro leg is unnecessary. They’re small because Europe hasn’t connected its currency to infrastructure that is already operating, but the shift to tokenized finance is irreversible.

Traditional payment rails still rely on cut-off times and reconciliation cycles measured in days. Around this ageing stack, a new one is forming in which assets and payments settle directly on-chain. Stablecoins are becoming an essential core infrastructure of financial services. Standard Chartered projects $30 trillion in tokenized real-world assets by 2034; Citigroup predicts up to $5 trillion in tokenized digital securities by 2030, with tokenized assets potentially reaching 10% of global GDP. None of this works without on-chain fiat, the world’s second-largest currency is too important not to play a part. The eurozone is a $16 trillion economy and the world’s second-largest currency bloc.

Suppose we accept two simple facts: 1. the euro is not going to disappear, and 2. Europe is not going to dollarize, so then a globally significant euro stablecoin is a logical outcome. The underlying euro economy is enormous. In 2023, the Eurosystem’s T2 platform processed roughly €2.2 trillion per day. According to the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), average global FX turnover reached $9.6 trillion per day in April 2025, with the USD on one side of about 89% of all trades; the euro ranked as the second most-active currency globally. If even 0.1% of euro flows move on-chain, that implies €2.2 billion settling daily, or more than €800 billion per year. This is more than enough to support a euro stablecoin ecosystem worth hundreds of billions.

For policymakers and investors, the real question is not whether euro stablecoins win outright, but what mix of on-chain euro options best balances innovation and financial stability.

#dollar stablecoins had a decade head start. Europe is now catching up. The next major expansion in stablecoins is not another USD token but rather a credible, scalable euro stablecoin, built for the size of Europe’s economy and privately issued.
