So it's going to be a race now, or if we look at this way, EU doesn't want competition as they are slowly making their own stable coins.
EU wants competition, but are the other companies able to compete should be the question. Tether stable coins are not accepted by the EU which everyone also like because people do not believe in Tether. No external audition for their stable coins before which is also suspicious.
USDC that is dollar backed and EURC that is euro backed which are created by Circle are all accepted and licensed by the European Union. So they want competition, but you have to be worthy of it before they will accept you.
