The Digital Chamber (TDC) has said that the European Union's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework has established the EU as a leader in the global stablecoin landscape, offering regulatory certainty for stablecoin issuers. TDC released its findings in a report on November 12.

According to TDC, MiCA, which will be effective from June 30, 2024, includes licensing requirements for custodians and crypto-asset service providers, enhanced consumer protections, and measures to prevent market abuse. Stablecoin issuers operating within the European Economic Area must comply with MiCA by December 30, 2024, or cease operations in the region. However, TDC expressed concerns that some MiCA provisions, such as stringent reserve requirements and limits on non-euro transactions, could hinder competition and innovation, potentially favoring larger EU-native financial institutions.

TDC further noted that while specific MiCA provisions might hinder competition and benefit larger EU-based institutions, the EU's proactive approach to stablecoin regulation creates a favorable environment for stablecoin development within the EU. This approach contrasts with the U.S.'s current lack of a clear framework and may challenge the continued dominance of U.S. dollar-linked stablecoins.

Binance, identified as the largest crypto exchange globally by trading volume, participated in a European Banking Authority (EBA) consultation regarding technical aspects of MiCA related to stablecoins that took effect in June 2024. Binance said in a post: "As an exchange that believes in the value of regulation and the pragmatic benefits of MiCA, we believe it’s important that these constructive conversations take place to help ensure that MiCA achieves its goals and any unintended consequences are reduced. The broad intent of MiCA is overwhelmingly positive for the crypto industry."

TDC advocates for pro-innovation policies in digital asset and blockchain industries. Its members include crypto exchanges, banks, consulting firms, and law firms.
