German payment processor DECTA anticipates a key turning point for the euro-pegged stablecoin market with the full implementation of the European Crypto Asset Markets Regulation (MiCA) in 2026. MiCA will establish a unified framework for reserve, regulatory, and operational standards, potentially promoting the adoption of euro-pegged stablecoins in payment systems, trading platforms, and tokenized financial infrastructure. Market growth will depend on the speed at which MiCA-licensed issuers establish distribution channels and banking connections, as well as the level of adoption by institutions and consumers.
