**Affirmed position.** 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.
