  • The ECB has rejected proposals to ease reserve rules for euro stablecoin issuers and denied them access to central bank funding.
  • The decision stems from concerns about potential impacts on European banks' funding costs and credit availability, as well as financial stability.
  • Despite the ECB's stance, a consortium of European banks is moving forward with plans to launch a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin.
