FMA to enforce ESMA's three-month deadline on CASP services tied to non-MiCAR stablecoins

ESMA issued an Opinion on 8 October 2026 telling MiCAR-authorised CASPs to stop offering services linked to stablecoins that do not comply with MiCAR. Austria's FMA has confirmed it will apply those expectations in supervision and police a remediation deadline. This segment covers who is bound, what services are caught, and the clock that is now running.

  • ESMA published its Opinion on non-MiCAR-compliant ARTs and EMTs on 8 October 2026; the FMA will apply it in supervision.
  • MiCAR-authorised CASPs should not provide any covered service linked to non-compliant stablecoins to EU clients, standalone or combined.
  • Existing positions must be remediated as quickly as possible, no later than three months from the Opinion's publication date.

ECB's Cipollone sets 2029 digital euro target as trilogue nears deadline

Piero Cipollone laid out the ECB's full digital money strategy: a retail digital euro moving through trilogue, and the wholesale Pontes and Appia initiatives for tokenised settlement. The speech matters for the fresh financial-stability modelling on holding limits and for the concrete 2027 pilot and 2029 issuance timeline banks now need to plan against.

  • ECB aims for potential first digital euro issuance in 2029 if legislation concludes by end-2026; trilogue is under way with a Council push to finish this year.
  • Modelling of 2,025 banks shows holding limits up to €3,000 leave aggregate LCR at 163% and project a €127bn deposit inflow by 2034 under business-as-usual.
  • Pontes launched 21 September to settle tokenised transactions in central bank money, full implementation mid-2028; Appia blueprint targeted for 2028.

ESMA tells MiCA-licensed crypto firms to stop serving non-compliant stablecoins

ESMA has issued an opinion drawing a hard line around stablecoins that do not meet MiCA. It tells authorised crypto-asset service providers to cease offering any MiCA service connected to non-compliant asset-referenced and e-money tokens, and directs national regulators to enforce controls and clear legacy exposures within three months. This segment covers what binds, the carve-outs, and the compliance clock.

  • Authorised CASPs must cease all MiCA services linked to non-MiCA-compliant ARTs and EMTs for EU clients.
  • NCAs must require remediation of pre-existing exposures within three months of the 8 October 2026 opinion.
  • Residual activity is confined to liquidation, conversion, withdrawal, transfer or safekeeping, time-limited and supervised.

SRB flags resolution gaps for stablecoins in response to Commission's MiCA review

The Single Resolution Board has told the European Commission that the current MiCA framework leaves resolution authorities short of tools and information when stablecoin activity threatens credit institutions. This segment covers what the SRB is asking for, the four bank roles it has identified, and why the interaction between MiCA and the EU resolution rulebook is now on the table.

  • SRB says non-credit stablecoin issuers lack a dedicated resolution regime for systemic activity, beyond some supervisory and recovery measures.
  • It wants data-sharing, supervisor-resolution coordination and alignment of MiCA with BRRD and SRMR on reserves, segregation and depositor protection.
  • The response focuses on credit institutions as token issuers and as institutions funded by issuers and crypto-asset service providers.
