Adopt with guardrails

Why: MiCA's stablecoin titles are binding, enforced law (real EMI license grants, real EU-exchange delistings) since 30 June 2024, so every EU-touching agentic-payment or stablecoin release in the register must satisfy it or explicitly document why it routes around it — but the regime's own acknowledged gaps (zero ART issuers, non-EU-issuer loophole) mean a 'MiCA-compliant' claim must be checked against the specific EMT/ART track, never assumed blanket-safe.
Next: Require EMT-licensed stablecoins (e.g. Circle's EURC/USDC via Circle Mint France) for any EU-settling agent payment flow; do not assume the ART track is a viable near-term issuance path (0 issuers authorized); flag any non-EU multi-issuance stablecoin arrangement as unresolved MiCA-gap risk pending the 'MiCA 2.0' revision (not expected as law before 2028).
