Fusion42 · 29 July 2026 · Fusion42 review
Only three of the top 50 global stablecoins (USDC, USDG, and EURC) are currently compliant with the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. This indicates a significant structural gap between the global stablecoin market and Europe's new regulatory framework, with all currently compliant major tokens linked to the issuer Circle.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Crypto & Web3, and 2 sources have reported it between 29 Jul 2026 and 30 Jul 2026.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
The EU just handed the compliant stablecoin market to a single company. If your product serves European customers, you now depend on Circle's rails to operate.
