Extension: PSD3 and the Regulation on Payment Services in the Context of Crypto Assets as a Means of Payment

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-111 · 2026-08-08

PSD3 and the Regulation on Payment Services in the Context of Crypto Assets identifies MiCA electronic-money tokens and asset-referenced tokens as stablecoin categories characterized by a payment function. This adds a use-oriented regulatory classification to Kaal's broad digital-asset taxonomy. The abstract does not establish that every stablecoin functions as payment or that these categories exhaust stablecoin designs.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
