Dinaro becomes first issuer from Slovenia in EU’s MiCA stablecoin register

Slovenian electronic money institution Dinaro d.o.o. has officially joined the European Securities and Markets Authority’s (ESMA) interim MiCA register as an authorized e-money token (EMT) issuer. This milestone marks the first time a Slovenian entity has achieved such status under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation. By leveraging its existing EMI license from the Bank of Slovenia, Dinaro is now permitted to issue fiat-pegged stablecoins recognized across all 27 EU member states. The inclusion follows the July 1, 2026, deadline for MiCA compliance, which mandated that all stablecoin issuers maintain 100% backing in liquid assets and provide guaranteed at-par redemption rights. This expansion of the ESMA register is significant for the RWA market as it provides institutional investors with a growing list of vetted, compliant issuers. By reducing counterparty risk, the regulatory framework aims to prevent systemic failures similar to the 2022 TerraUSD collapse. Ultimately, the move signals a maturing European landscape where stablecoins are increasingly integrated into the formal financial system.
