EU Markets in Crypto Assets regulation begins enforcing stablecoin categorization

MiCA went live across the EU in early July. The regulation divides stablecoins into distinct risk classes (asset-referenced, fiat-backed, e-money) with tailored capital and reserve rules. Non-compliant tokens already facing exclusion.
