Why we built this series

The European crypto market is being rebuilt under the MiCA Regulation (EU 2023/1114), and the transitional period for crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) closes on 1 July 2026. The next 12 months will decide who serves European businesses, in which assets, and under what regulatory framing.

To explain what is changing - and what business operators, compliance teams, and finance leads should act on - ARI10 has released a 7-episode series: Stablecoin Revolution and the Future of Cryptocurrencies in Europe

The series is hosted by Artur Pszczołkowski, CEO and Co-founder of ARI10, who has been working in crypto since 2015 and building regulated transaction infrastructure at ARI10 since 2017.

The full series is available on YouTube in English and Polish.

What 12 months under MiCA will decide

A number of European crypto-asset service providers have already delisted USDT from regulated trading as they align with MiCA. Stablecoins issued under MiCA-aligned frameworks - such as USDC, referenced here as an external industry example - are gaining ground on the European market. At the same time, institutional capital is moving through Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, tokenization of real-world assets is moving from pilot to production, and DAC8 has introduced automatic tax reporting across all 27 EU member states from 1 January 2026.

The series is built around these structural shifts. Each episode takes one of them and walks through what it actually means for European businesses.

Episode-by-episode Summary

Episode 1 - Introduction: a market in structural transition. 

Artur sets the context for the series: how the European market is adapting to MiCA, why crypto is a structural shift and what businesses settling crypto-to-fiat or fiat-to-crypto should be aware of before 1 July 2026.

Episode 2 - The state of the stablecoin market. 

Global stablecoin capitalization above $307 billion, 2025 transaction volume of $33 trillion (up 72% year-over-year), and the European delisting of USDT under MiCA. Why some issuers obtained EMI authorization in Europe and others walked away.

Episode 3 - Euro stablecoins and the digital euro. 

The rise of euro-denominated stablecoins, the European banking consortium working on a euro stablecoin for the second half of 2026, and the ECB's digital euro roadmap toward a planned 2029 launch.

Episode 4 - The institutional perspective: ETFs, DeFi, tokenization. 

Bitcoin ETFs attracted over $21.8 billion in net inflows in 2025. The tokenized asset market grew from $15.2 billion in late 2024 to $24 billion by mid-2025. What this institutional flow means for the European market and for regulated infrastructure providers.

Episode 5 - Poland on the crypto map. 

Polish implementation of MiCA, the risk of regulatory gold-plating, and DAC8 in practice: from 1 January 2026 cryptocurrency platforms must collect expanded customer information and from 2027 tax authorities exchange this data automatically across the EU.

Episode 6 - Practical implications for business. 

Stablecoin migration plans, B2B cross-border transfers, treasury management, e-commerce integration, and how to prepare for the digital euro. The episode is structured as four operator-grade decisions a business needs to make.

Episode 7 - Summary and outlook. 

What to take away from the full series, how the cryptocurrency market may look over the next five to ten years, and the position ARI10 is building for businesses entering or expanding in this market.

Who the series is for

The series is structured for three audiences. Business operators settling crypto-to-fiat or fiat-to-crypto get a clear read on which assets and which providers will still be available after 1 July 2026. Compliance and finance leads get an operator-grade walkthrough of MiCA, DAC8, Travel Rule, and DORA in the same place. Investors and observers of the European fintech market get a structured view of stablecoin, ETF, and tokenization flows under one regulatory frame.

What you can act on after watching

By the end of the series, you should be able to answer four questions for your business.

  • Which stablecoins will your service provider still support under MiCA after 1 July 2026.
  • Whether your cross-border transaction flows are still routed through the most cost-effective and compliance-aligned channel. 
  • Whether your DAC8 reporting posture covers both new transactions from 1 January 2026 and any historical activity tax authorities may now request. 
  • And how your transaction infrastructure should be prepared for the digital euro before its planned 2029 launch.

The prices of crypto-assets are much more susceptible to sharp fluctuations than traditional financial assets. High price volatility can lead to sudden losses and unpredictable outcomes. Trading crypto-assets involves a high risk of capital loss. The owner of ARI10 is ARI10 Sp. z o.o.
