Crypto payment companies, Circle have urged U.S. regulators to adopt similar legislative measures for stablecoins. Emphasizing the need for change, the company used an analogy between road signs as ultimately helpful and the possibly positive impact that concrete rules in finance could bring. 
According to Circle, clear stablecoin laws could enhance investment, and innovation, and maintain the U.S. dollar’s dominance as the global reserve currency.

 This week, MiCA, the EU’s comprehensive crypto laws went into effect, representing a massive step forward for the digital asset industry. The US has a massive opportunity to act now to get stablecoin legislation right, instead of being left behind by other major markets. <a href="https://t.co/AiNcNZEgWv" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/AiNcNZEgWv</a>— Circle (@circle) <a href="https://twitter.com/circle/status/1808131071898538254?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">July 2, 2024</a>

According to <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/07/01/circle-secures-first-eu-stablecoin-license-under-mica/">recent report</a>, Circle successfully obtained an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license under the new EU Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulation. This certification, effective from July 1st, enables Circle to offer its stablecoins, USDC and EURC, to European customers, adhering to stringent regulatory standards set by one of the world’s largest economies. 
Circle’s acquisition of the EMI license positions it advantageously within the EU’s trading bloc, home to over 450 million residents. Currently, USDC has a valuation of $32 billion, positioning it as the second-largest stablecoin next to Tether’s $110 billion USDT.&nbsp; 
The <a href="https://x.com/circle/status/1808131071898538254" target="_blank">regulatory</a> approval by France’s banking authority allows Circle Mint France to issue both its euro-denominated EURC and USDC from a unified regulatory framework. It could increase Circle’s market share across the European region especially due to some of the occurrences such as the delisting of some euro-denominated stablecoins.
