Euro-denominated stablecoins have doubled their combined market capitalization following the implementation of new EU regulatory rules in 2024, with EURS and EURC leading the growth, according to a report by Decta, a London-based payments firm.
The gains represent a huge reversal from previous declines in the euro stablecoin sector. EURC, a compliant euro stablecoin issued by Circle, has emerged as a leading option with increased transaction activity and exchange support since MiCA took effect.
EURS, a euro-pegged stablecoin designed for stable value transfers within the crypto ecosystem, has shown notable gains in adoption following the MiCA regulatory framework’s implementation in the EU. EURCV, another euro-backed stablecoin, has also experienced accelerated growth in usage alongside other compliant tokens.
The introduction of MiCA brought uniform oversight to euro stablecoins, reducing uncertainty and strengthening consumer protections. As issuers adjust to these rules, the market is entering a structured transition phase marked by clearer regulatory expectations.
