ESMA tells EU crypto providers to stop services for non-compliant stablecoins
ESMA’s October 8 opinion says MiCA-authorised crypto-asset service providers should cease services involving stablecoins that do not comply with MiCA.

For EU users, token availability can therefore depend on both a stablecoin’s compliance and the service offered by the platform.
