Circle disclosed that it has responded to the European Commission's targeted consultation on MiCA. Circle stated that MiCA has provided a first-mover advantage for Europe, with approximately 30 types of electronic currency tokens authorized. However, among the top 25 stablecoins by global market capitalization, only 3 are regulated by MiCA, namely USDC, USDG, and EURC, indicating a gap in the regulatory scope of MiCA that fails to cover the largest global tokens.Circle suggests maintaining a multiple issuance structure, where globally circulating stablecoins are jointly issued by EU entities authorized under MiCA and foreign regulatory entities. It also recommends establishing an equivalence and recognition system for foreign regulatory stablecoins similar to EMIR, CSDR, and MiFIR, with the regulatory authority of the issuer's jurisdiction primarily responsible for supervision, while the EU level conducts equivalence recognition and EBA entity approval. Regarding reserve requirements, Circle believes that MiCA's requirement for issuers to deposit at least 30% of reserve assets in commercial bank deposits will increase bank credit and counterparty risk, supporting the European Central Bank to reconsider this requirement, and suggests removing two concentration rules from the EBA technical standards.

In the weeks prior, the European Central Bank selected 36 banks and payment institutions to participate in the testing phase.

ZEC recently reached a new high since 2018, currently priced at $1,093.21, ranking 10th by market capitalization.

Robinhood's on-chain stock meme coin issuance platform Long.xyz founder Nate stated that after the launch of the new Pre-IPO feature, the platform has added approximately 10,000 asset issuance projects.Nate estimates that without token code locking and client issuance quantity limits, the platform's daily issuance could reach 100,000, at which point the platform may be more utilized by bots, making it difficult for ordinary users to filter through the large number of new assets, potentially further fueling FOMO trading, chasing volume, and data inflation.Nate indicated that LONG will continuously adjust issuance limits based on demand changes and plans to add an asset discovery filter to help users filter projects based on parameters such as whale holding ratios, asset longevity, and antifragility, while aggregating liquidity and capital flow to assets that perform well and have uniqueness within the ecosystem.The team is currently monitoring suspicious activities across all trading pairs and has not identified any major issues, but is prepared with new risk control parameters. If it is found that price manipulation behavior is due to coordinated actions rather than natural market activities, the team can quickly implement relevant restrictions.

According to The Block, the Ink Foundation, an Ethereum L2 network under Kraken, has jointly established the Charter Foundation with crypto market maker GSR, law firms Carey Olsen, Renno & Co, Cooley, Fenwick, and auditing firms ChainSecurity, Zellic, among others. The aim is to provide a standardized shared legal framework for crypto projects to reduce token issuance costs. A spokesperson for the Ink Foundation stated that the organization is unrelated to Kraken.Currently, crypto projects typically need to independently establish a "three-entity structure" that includes a research and development entity (Labs), a Cayman Islands foundation, and a British Virgin Islands (BVI) subsidiary for issuance. The setup and independent director fees before the Token Generation Event (TGE) often exceed $100,000.The Charter Foundation aims to reduce the initial legal framework costs for token issuance by more than half by establishing a dedicated Cayman Islands exempt company as the launch structure for each project, with governance involving professional offshore compliance experts. Once the token is successfully issued, the Cayman entity will convert into an independent foundation and separate from Charter, ensuring the project's long-term independence.

According to The Defiant, the dispute between AMC Entertainment CEO Adam Aron and Robinhood over tokenized AMC stock has escalated into a debate among tokenized stock issuers about which model should become the industry standard.Gabriel Otte, co-founder of Dinari, criticized Robinhood's synthetic tokens with Ondo as "worse for end investors than regular stocks," while Uniswap founder Hayden Adams compared it to early stablecoins, stating that it meets users' demands for programmability and 24/7 trading.Currently, three models are competing in the $2.91 billion tokenized stock market: Robinhood's stock tokens are debt securities issued by a Jersey entity, available only to non-U.S. persons; Ondo, xStocks, and Dinari hold the underlying stocks through regulated intermediaries and pass on economic benefits; Securitize and Superstate directly put company-registered stocks on-chain. The U.S. SEC's Division of Corporation Finance has legally defined the three models as of January 28. Data from rwa.xyz shows that the total scale of tokenized stocks reaches $2.91 billion, with a 14.4% growth over 30 days, and Ondo leads with $869.6 million.Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo also supports Aron's position, stating that he does not wish for others to create offshore derivatives of company stocks. Brian Huang, co-founder of Glider, believes that the trading venue is more important than the packaging format, as AMMs cannot guarantee users the best execution.
