Such stablecoin issuers should not be allowed to operate in the EU unless there is a "sound equivalent regulatory regime" in place in the issuing jurisdiction, including allowing EU investors to "always redeem their stablecoins at face value" and requiring issuers to fully back their stablecoins with reserves. "In the event of a run, investors will naturally gravitate to the jurisdiction with the strongest safeguards, which is likely the EU, given that MiCA also prohibits redemption fees," Lagarde said.
