This week, Europe enacted MiCA, one of the most comprehensive stablecoin laws in the world. As a regulatory-first company, we are the first global stablecoin issuer compliant with the EU crypto law, representing a massive step forward for the digital asset industry. The United States - the world’s largest economy and home of the global reserve currency - needs to act now to get stablecoin legislation right, instead of being left behind by other major markets. Watch Heath Tarbert, Circle’s Chief Legal Officer and Head of Corporate Affairs, and former Chairman and Chief Executive of the CFTC, explain how policymakers have a massive opportunity for this country to reassert its place as the leader in financial services regulation and innovation.
