European Banks Advance in Stablecoin Rollouts Amid Regulatory Changes

European banks and corporations have progressed from educational initiatives to selecting partners for stablecoin rollouts over the past 18 months, according to Taurus co-founder Lamine Brahimi. According to NS3.AI, Brahimi noted that the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation has facilitated this shift by replacing fragmented national rules with a unified framework. Some companies with board-level approval are preparing to launch their stablecoin projects. Konstantin Vasilenko highlighted a significant increase in USDC volume on Paybis within the European Union, rising approximately 109% between October 2025 and March 2026. This surge is attributed to growing demand for stablecoins in settlement and treasury operations.
