This article examines the widening regulatory divide shaping the future of crypto and stablecoins. While the European Union moves toward stricter enforcement under MiCA to consolidate oversight and reduce systemic risk, major US banks are considering legal action against regulators over frameworks that may allow crypto firms to operate like banks without equivalent supervision.
