EU Establishes New Liquidity Standards for Stablecoins

On October 3, 2025, the European Union (EU) implemented new liquidity standards for stablecoins as part of its Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA). These changes are designed to minimize financial risks and create a structured approach for asset-referenced tokens. The initiative from the European Commission and ESMA is expected to impact both stablecoin issuers and related projects, potentially requiring higher capital requirements and influencing market liquidity.
