Circle Snags First Stablecoin License Under EU's New MiCA Crypto Rules

Circle became the first global stablecoin issuer to secure an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license, a prerequisite to offering dollar- and euro-pegged crypto tokens in the European Union (EU) under the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework.
The license gives the company, whose USDC trails behind rival Tether's market-leading USDT, pole position in grabbing market share among the 27-nation trading bloc's 450 million people.
Stablecoins are a key piece of infrastructure in the digital asset market, facilitating trading on exchanges and, increasingly, used for transactions and remittances. Circle's $32 billion USDC is the second-largest stablecoin and the gap to market leader Tether's $110 billion USDT has been widening. Armed with a license from the French banking regulatory authority, Circle Mint France will “onshore” the issuance of its euro-denominated EURC stablecoin to the EU and issue USDC from the same entity, the company said.

AI Fund Liquidation Impacts Proprietary Trading Giant, Jane Street Suffers Rare $15 Billion Monthly Loss and Rushes $11 Billion Debt Restructuring

According to reports, Jane Street has recorded its first monthly loss in a decade, suffering a significant loss in July. However, its net trading income for the year still exceeds $40 billion and is likely to set a new annual record. The losses are not entirely due to its investment in Situational Awareness; its long positions in non-AI Asian stocks have also suffered. This week, Jane Street is advancing about $14.6 billion in bond financing, led by JPMorgan Chase and involving major institutional investors such as Pimco and Fidelity. To restructure its debt, Jane Street is shifting more debt to private markets and is even willing to bear significantly higher financing costs in exchange for reduced public disclosure.
