MiCA regulation requires stablecoin issuers to hold 30% of their reserves in cash across multiple EU bank accounts. According to Allaire, these requirements pose significant banking risks due to credit and counterparty risks. Circle’s EU strategy and policy head Patrick Hansen supported Allaire’s concerns, noting that even the European Banking Authority acknowledged these issues.

Circle’s Concerns

Circle’s concerns are particularly urgent given the broader context of regulatory changes and banking challenges the company faces. Circle is known for its USDC stablecoin, pegged to the US dollar with a market value of approximately $34 billion, making it the second-largest stablecoin after Tether’s USDT. Despite complying with MiCA, Circle struggled to maintain stable banking relationships, especially after the 2023 banking crisis that saw the collapse of several crypto-friendly banks.

The regulatory environment in Europe has been particularly challenging for cryptocurrency firms. In the UK, banks generally refuse to work with these companies, creating additional hurdles. However, Circle managed to maintain stable banking partnerships by relying on a few systemically important global banks. Under MiCA, banks have an advantage in offering cryptocurrency services, increasing European banks’ interest in issuing stablecoins and developing innovative payment systems.

Circle Adjusted for New Rules

To comply with MiCA’s new rules, Circle had to make significant adjustments to its operations. The company now issues USDC from both the US and Europe, meeting different regulatory requirements on both sides of the Atlantic. Allaire emphasized the importance of this dual issuance, which requires dealing with two different sets of audits and requirements. This regulation has been a significant achievement for Circle, demonstrating its commitment to compliance and innovation.

Despite these achievements, Circle remains vigilant about the evolving regulatory environment. Allaire and his team continue to communicate with regulators, advocating for changes to mitigate the risks posed by MiCA’s current provisions. The company’s ability to navigate these complex regulatory landscapes and its approach to regulatory engagement will be crucial for its ongoing success and stability in the cryptocurrency space.
