[Circle Urges European Policymakers to Accelerate Updates to the EU Digital Asset Framework] According to a report by Jinse Finance on March 24, Circle has urged European policymakers to expedite updates to the EU's digital asset framework, arguing that delays could slow institutional adoption of tokenized markets. In feedback submitted on March 20 regarding the European Commission's proposed market integration plan, the stablecoin issuer stated that the plan is a 'meaningful step' in the modernization of capital markets but noted gaps remain in scalability, regulation, and settlement. Circle broadly supports the proposed changes to the EU's Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) pilot regime, including expanding the scope of eligible assets and raising transaction volume thresholds. However, it pointed out that current restrictions still limit liquidity and institutional participation. The company proposed introducing 'adaptive' thresholds tied to market conditions rather than relying on periodic legislative updates and called for a clearer path from the pilot phase to permanent rule-making. The company also urged regulators to accelerate reforms outside the broader legislative timeline, echoing concerns raised by tokenization companies last month that delays could push activity toward the U.S., where on-chain market infrastructure is developing more rapidly.
