MiCA Regulation 2026: A Turning Point for EUR Stablecoins Like EURT and EURC, Says DECTA

The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation will be a decisive factor for the future of euro-pegged stablecoins by 2026, according to payments provider DECTA. The regulatory framework, set for full implementation, will establish clear rules for issuers, demanding robust reserves and transparency. DECTA's analysis suggests this will create a "make-or-break" environment. Compliant stablecoins, such as EURT and EURC, are expected to gain significant institutional trust and market share within the European Union. However, projects failing to meet the stringent MiCA requirements risk being phased out of the EU market. This regulatory clarity is anticipated to drive consolidation around a few major, fully-backed euro stablecoin players, shaping the digital euro landscape.
