Why Does Circle Want Changes to Europe’s Crypto Rules?
-

Circle is asking the European Commission to make it easier for institutions to work with crypto service providers as part of its new Market Integration Package. The goal is to reduce barriers that currently limit how stablecoins and other digital assets can be used within traditional financial systems.
The company believes that current rules, especially around thresholds for stablecoin adoption, are too restrictive and slow down growth. By making these rules more flexible, Circle argues that Europe could unlock more innovation, improve liquidity, and encourage wider institutional participation in crypto markets.
