The crypto market now represents over $2.5 trillion in cumulative market cap, with Bitcoin accounting for 50-60% and Ethereum 15-20%.

In Europe, the MiCA regulation in force since late 2024 imposes a clear framework on stablecoin issuers and service providers (PSAN in France, registered with the AMF).
