EBA sets November oversight date
The European Economic Area has classified USDC as a significant e-money token, a regulated digital payment token under the European Union's MiCA framework. The classification took effect on October 14, 2026, according to CryptoTicker.
CryptoTicker reported that the European Banking Authority will take over direct supervision of own funds, reserves, liquidity, and recovery and redemption plans on November 12, 2026. The French supervisor ACPR will retain responsibilities including management assessments, qualifying holdings, outsourcing, and conflicts of interest, according to CryptoTicker.
Adjusted supply reaches 69.62 billion
Onchain supply data gives a separate view of USDC usage. Allium measured adjusted USDC circulation at 69.62 billion USD on October 12, 2026, making it the second-largest stablecoin by adjusted onchain supply, according to Allium.
Allium also said raw supply can count bridged copies more than once, while its adjusted method removes those duplicate claims. The report identified reserve quality and access to reserves as key considerations for a fiat-backed stablecoin, according to Allium. Separately, USDC supply on BNB Chain ended the third quarter at 1.59 billion USD, while the chain's stablecoin supply declined 4.6 percent, according to Blockworks.
