What are Elrond’s prospects? Under EU permits, the license will allow Elrond to offer its services in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway. Under the law on Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) proposed by the EU Commission, licensed institutions dealing with e-money can issue stablecoins.

“We’ve been having focused conversations with the Romanian Central Bank about acquiring an e-money licensed institution that enables us to create stablecoins, for instance, in a legal and compliant way,” Mincu said.
