The source register lists white papers, not tickers, so the token symbols above are hand-verified from each issuer's own documents. Issuers without a confirmed public ticker show a dash. One issuer (Stable Labs) uses the limited-network exemption and does not offer its tokens to the public.

What is an e-money token (EMT) under MiCA?

An e-money token is MiCA's legal name for a classic stablecoin: a crypto-asset that keeps a stable value by referencing exactly one official currency, such as the euro or the US dollar. Legally it works like electronic money in token form: the issuer must redeem it at any time, at face value, in that currency.

EMTs are regulated by Title IV of MiCA, applicable since 30 June 2024. Every EMT offered in the EU must have a notified white paper, and its issuer must appear in the ESMA register shown above. USDC, EURC and EURCV are EMTs. The category also covers non-euro tokens such as USDG.

Who can issue stablecoins in the EU?

Only two kinds of companies: authorised credit institutions (banks) or licensed electronic money institutions (EMIs). There is no separate “stablecoin license”: the issuer needs one of those two authorisations plus a white paper notified to its national regulator.

That is why the list above mixes crypto firms (Circle, Paxos, StablR) with banks (Société Générale, Oddo BHF, CACEIS, Banking Circle). It is also why Tether does not appear: it holds neither an EU e-money license nor an EU banking license.

Is USDT (Tether) MiCA-compliant?

No. Tether has not been authorised as an e-money token issuer in the EU and USDT has no notified MiCA white paper, so it does not appear in the ESMA register. As a result, MiCA-licensed exchanges cannot offer USDT to EU/EEA clients, and major exchanges delisted USDT spot pairs for EEA users in early 2025.

Holding USDT in a private wallet is not illegal for individuals, but on the EU's regulated market you will mostly see MiCA-compliant alternatives such as USDC or EURC. Check which platforms may legally serve you in the MiCA license list.

Is USDC MiCA-compliant?

Yes. Circle Internet Financial Europe SAS, a French e-money institution supervised by the ACPR, notified MiCA white papers for USDC and EURC on 1 July 2024, the day MiCA's stablecoin rules became applicable. Both tokens are in the ESMA register above, which makes USDC the largest MiCA-compliant stablecoin.

What is a significant e-money token?

MiCA lets the European Banking Authority (EBA) classify an EMT as “significant” once it crosses scale thresholds, for example more than 10 million holders or a reserve above €5 billion. Significant EMTs move under partial EBA supervision and stricter requirements. So far the EBA has not designated any EMT as significant.

EMT vs ART: what is the difference?

An EMT references one official currency. An asset-referenced token (ART) references a basket: several currencies, commodities such as gold, or crypto-assets. ARTs have their own, heavier MiCA regime, and so far no ART issuer has been authorised in the EU. Read the full explainer: what asset-referenced tokens (ART) are and why that register is empty.

FAQ about the MiCA stablecoin list

How many companies can legally issue stablecoins in the EU?

25 issuers are in the official ESMA register of e-money token (EMT) white papers as of 30 October 2026, covering 50 notified token white papers across euro, dollar and other currencies.

Is USDT banned in the EU?

Owning USDT is not banned, but Tether holds no EU authorisation as an EMT issuer, so USDT is not MiCA-compliant and MiCA-licensed exchanges cannot offer it to EU/EEA clients. Most major exchanges delisted USDT pairs for EEA users in early 2025.

Which euro stablecoins are MiCA-compliant?

The register includes euro tokens from Circle (EURC), Société Générale Forge (EURCV), Monerium (EURe), Banking Circle (EURI), StablR (EURR), Quantoz (EURQ), Schuman Financial (EURØP), Oddo BHF (EUROD), AllUnity (EURAU) and Paxos (EUROe), among others.

Do stablecoin issuers need a CASP license?

No. Issuing an e-money token requires an e-money or banking license plus a notified white paper, while a CASP license covers crypto services such as exchange and custody. They are separate registers, though 9 of the 25 current EMT issuers also hold a CASP license.

Is this the official ESMA stablecoin register?

The data is official, the page is not run by ESMA. Every entry comes from ESMA's interim MiCA register of EMT white papers, which we merge per issuer, enrich with hand-verified token tickers and re-verify against the source file. Last verified on 30 October 2026.

What happens to stablecoins that are not MiCA-compliant?

Exchanges and brokers licensed under MiCA must not offer them to EU/EEA clients, so non-compliant tokens gradually disappear from regulated European platforms. The token itself keeps existing on-chain. Only the regulated offering is restricted.
