    EBA designates USDC as the first significant e-money token under MiCA

    Under MiCA, EBA has designated USDC as a significant e-money token. Among the 45 EMTs currently notified in the EU, USDC is the first to receive this status. From 12 November 2026, EBA will be directly responsible for the issuer’s own funds, reserve assets, liquidity, and recovery and redemption plans, while France’s ACPR will continue to be responsible for governance, qualifying holdings, fit and proper assessments, outsourcing, and conflicts of interest.

    ESMA Requires EU Crypto Firms to Exit Non-Compliant Stablecoins Within Three Months

    ESMA requires EU crypto firms to unwind existing exposures to stablecoins that do not comply with MiCA by January 8, 2027, and gives national financial regulators 90 days to supervise enforcement. Individuals holding USDT are not directly prohibited, but EU service providers regulated under MiCA must stop providing relevant access, while they may continue to offer exit services such as liquidation, conversion, withdrawals, transfers and custody.

    推荐理由：The material clarifies that the restriction is not a ban on individuals holding USDT, but a requirement for EU service providers regulated under MiCA to stop providing relevant access, helping readers distinguish between holding the asset and access to services.
