In the last 18 months, we have witnessed truly significant changes in how banks and major European corporations approach cryptocurrencies. No longer just seminars and educational initiatives, but concrete actions. According to Lamine Brahimi, co-founder of Taurus, the real catalyst for these changes has been the introduction of the MiCA regulation on Mercati in Cripto-Asset.

This regulation made a difference because it replaced the chaos of fragmented national rules with a unified framework at the European level. Suddenly, institutions gained regulatory clarity. Now, several companies with board-level approval are moving concretely to launch their own stablecoins.

There are also interesting signals on the demand side. Konstantin Vasilenko reported quite impressive data: the volume of USDC on Paybis within the EU recorded growth of 109% between October 2025 and March 2026. This is not a coincidence. This increase reflects growing demand for stablecoins for settlement operations and for managing corporate treasury.

The changes we are seeing are not marginal. They represent a true transition from a phase of exploration to one of structural adoption. European institutions are finally understanding how to integrate digital assets into their operational processes, and this is a development worth monitoring closely.
