What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The French markets regulator, AMF, warned crypto companies that they must obtain an EU operating license by June 30, 2026, to continue operating in the bloc. Failure to comply could result in blacklisting and criminal prosecution. The Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation brings regulatory oversight to the multi-trillion-dollar crypto industry in Europe.

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The regulation forces non-compliant euro stablecoins out of EU markets, which favors Circle Internet Group. This regulatory tightening in the EU contrasts with the easing of regulations for the crypto sector in the United States.
