[European Commission Launches MiCA 2.0 Consultation, Focusing on Stablecoin and DeFi Regulation]
According to Cointelegraph, the European Commission initiated a consultation on the MiCA 2.0 framework in May, covering stablecoins, DeFi, and prediction markets, with submissions open until August 31. Coinbase Policy Director Katie Harries stated that MiCA has set an early global benchmark for digital asset regulation in the EU, and revisions should optimize euro stablecoin reserve rules and allow for non-interest incentives. Notabene Compliance Director Catarina Veloso pointed out that if stablecoins are positioned as payment infrastructure, redemption, liquidity, and reserve management will become the core focus of regulation. The industry is calling for clear standards to define decentralization in DeFi.
