Introduction to Regulated Stablecoins & MiCA Compliance
Stablecoins have become one of the most influential innovations in the digital asset space, offering a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain-based systems. However, their rapid adoption has raised questions about transparency, stability, and oversight. The European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) introduces a comprehensive legal framework to address these concerns, defining clear categories for stablecoins and setting compliance obligations for issuers. This course examines how regulated stablecoins work, the details of MiCA’s requirements, and what the regulation means for the future of the industry.
