- Euro stablecoins doubled in supply after MiCA, reversing a prior decline and pushing market value toward $680 million.
- EURS, EURC and EURCV drove most gains with EURS jumping 644% as issuers adopted MiCA-aligned infrastructure.
- Trading volume rose tenfold to $3.83B, supported by sharp search interest growth across multiple EU countries.
Euro-denominated stablecoins had a strong recovery across the European Union after MiCA rules took effect in June 2024, according to London payments firm Decta. The tokens doubled in market cap within a year, reversing a prior 48% decline and reshaping activity in a market long overshadowed by U.S. dollar-pegged assets.
Stronger Rules Drive a Shift in Market Direction
The report, titled “Euro Stablecoin Trends 2025,” found that MiCA’s issuer obligations and reserve standards pushed euro coin supply higher. Decta said euro stablecoins climbed toward $500 million by May 2025 as issuers adjusted systems to comply with uniform requirements.
This rise later extended to $680 million. However, the market remains small next to the roughly $300 billion in U.S. dollar-pegged tokens. That contrast shaped much of the report’s context and framed the scale of recent changes.
Notably, the rebound eclipsed the broader stablecoin market’s 26% annual gain. This change also concentrated around standout performers, guiding activity toward a few leading issuers.
EURS, EURC and EURCV Lead Sharp Market Gains
EURS, issued by Malta-based Stasis, recorded the strongest expansion. Decta said the token surged 644% to reach $283.9 million by October 2025. Circle’s EURC and SG-Forge’s EURCV followed with meaningful increases as institutional systems adopted MiCA-aligned structures. This surge connected directly to rising usage patterns across the region.
Transaction Growth and Search Trends
Decta tracked a jump in monthly euro-stablecoin volume from $383 million to $3.83 billion after MiCA implementation. EURC volume grew 1,139%, while EURCV expanded 343% as traders used the tokens for payments, on-ramps and digital-asset settlement.
Search interest strengthened alongside trading activity. Decta recorded a 400% rise in Finland and a 313.3% increase in Italy, with steady gains in Cyprus and Slovakia. These spikes indicated wider awareness as rules reshaped how issuers operate across the bloc.
