▌Moody's executive: New EU MiCA regulations may drive stablecoin innovation

Fabian Astic, global head of DeFi and digital assets at Moody's, said in an interview that the restrictions of new EU regulations may drive innovation in European stablecoins. European representatives recently voted to formalize regulatory guidelines for Markets in Cryptoassets (MiCA). The regulation places a cap of 200 million euros (just under $194 million) on the daily trading volume of non-euro-backed stablecoins. A final vote on the new legislation is expected on Oct. 10. Astic said that MiCA is expected to be implemented as early as 2024, and participants will have only two years to promote euro-denominated stablecoins in the region, which has the potential to make euro-backed stablecoins a key player in the global cryptocurrency and DeFi space . But he warned that without enough euro-backed stablecoins, progress could be slowed, as the vast majority of stablecoins today are backed by dollars.
