ECB pushes for stricter MiCA rules on stablecoins, staking and crypto oversight
- —ECB wants to ban indirect stablecoin rewards via lending, loans and staking
- —Foreign-currency stablecoins could face issuance bans and mandatory buybacks
- —Staking, lending and DeFi should be regulated at the EU level
- —Crypto oversight could move from national regulators to ESMA
Why it matters: The MiCA review could begin in 2027 and tighten operating conditions for exchanges and stablecoin issuers in the EU.
