Euro Crypto Trading Volume Soars Post-MiCA, Execution Price Concerns Arise
According to reports, European crypto trading volume has increased significantly, particularly within the euro stablecoin market, following the implementation of MiCA regulations. DECTA’s “Euro Stablecoin Trends Report 2025” indicates a 102% increase in the market cap of major euro-pegged stablecoins in the 12 months after MiCA's rollout, reversing a previous decline. The combined market cap reached $500 million in May 2025, with aggregated monthly transaction volume jumping from $383 million to $3.832 billion, led by EURC and EURCV. However, the report notes that early MiCA adoption was not driven by fresh demand, but rather by exchanges aligning listings with the new rule set. This rearrangement, while increasing market share for MiCA-compliant EUR stablecoins, does not automatically translate to improved trading conditions for pairs like BTC-EUR and ETH-EUR.
