Stablecoins, prediction markets and crypto companies: what Brussels wants to reform in MiCA

Jornal de Negócios3 September 2026 at 10:00

The European Commission launched a public consultation to assess the necessary changes to the regulatory framework for crypto assets. The transition period of the MiCA regulation only ended in June 2024, making this assessment particularly timely for the sector.

Stablecoins are pointed out as a central piece in Brussels' concerns. These digital currencies, which aim to maintain a stable value by being backed by traditional assets, have been the subject of particular attention in European regulatory discussions.

In addition to stablecoins, the consultation also addresses emerging markets that are attracting the attention of European authorities. These new segments of the crypto market are part of the broader scope of the regulation's evaluation.

The public consultation represents an important step in the continuous adaptation of the European regulatory framework to the rapid developments in the crypto asset sector, allowing various stakeholders to contribute to the reform process.
