Cointelegraph roundup: “Stand With Crypto EU” says more than 50,000 EU citizens have written to the European Commission, calling for relaxed stablecoin incentive limits in the MiCA re-review; another 126,000+ have signed a petition.
The focus is very concrete—MiCA currently bans issuers and platforms from paying interest on stablecoins, and the initiative is hoping to be able to do cashback, loyalty benefits, and lower fees legally; by comparison to the U.S. GENIUS, exchanges can still offer rewards, and Europe is even tighter. On the other side, the ECB system’s 22 September opinion points in the opposite direction: it wants to extend the ban to interest-bearing arrangements such as lending and staking, and even replace the hard ratio on reserve-bank deposits with a liquidity threshold.
The consultation window has just closed—how it will ultimately be changed is still up to the European Commission. In Europe, the question is still whether stablecoins are more like payment tools or more like deposits.
