Circle Snags First Stablecoin License Under EU's New MiCA Crypto Rules

Circle became the first global stablecoin issuer to secure an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license, a prerequisite to offering dollar- and euro-pegged crypto tokens in the European Union (EU) under the Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework.
The license gives the company, whose USDC trails behind rival Tether's market-leading USDT, pole position in grabbing market share among the 27-nation trading bloc's 450 million people.
Stablecoins are a key piece of infrastructure in the digital asset market, facilitating trading on exchanges and, increasingly, used for transactions and remittances. Circle's $32 billion USDC is the second-largest stablecoin and the gap to market leader Tether's $110 billion USDT has been widening. Armed with a license from the French banking regulatory authority, Circle Mint France will “onshore” the issuance of its euro-denominated EURC stablecoin to the EU and issue USDC from the same entity, the company said.

Apple responds to iPhone Duo foldable screen cracking issue: admits a small number of devices are affected, advises users to apply for replacement

Apple stated in its announcement that the company is "aware of an issue affecting a small number of iPhone Duo devices' internal screens" and recommends affected users contact AppleCare for replacement. Apple also emphasized that the vast majority of Duo devices are not affected by this issue, and defective units typically show symptoms in a short period of time. According to the teardown and review platform iFixit, the issue is caused by damage to internal hinge components, which subsequently leads to screen cracking, rather than a defect in the display panel itself.
