Briefings

In October 2026, the USDC issuer requested EU authorities to maintain cross-border co-issuance capabilities and establish a recognition pathway for foreign stablecoins, directly contradicting central bank demands for stricter safeguards. This exchange highlights a tension between US digital asset initiatives and European regulatory caution regarding financial stability.

Key points

• The USDC issuer explicitly requested EU authorities to preserve cross-border co-issuance and create a recognition route for foreign stablecoins.
• Central banks simultaneously demanded stronger safeguards against potential systemic risks from US digital asset expansion.

Context and limitations

Evidence covers only the October 2026 exchange between USDC issuer and EU regulators; specific dates for the recognition route remain unconfirmed, and the full scope of central bank requirements is not detailed.
