MiCA Stablecoin Rules: What They Mean and How Binance Is Complying
As the Markets in Crypto-Assets ( #MiCA ) framework takes effect on June 30, 2024, the European Economic Area (EEA) is introducing new rules for stablecoins. This update explains how Binance is complying with these regulations.
Key Takeaways:
From June 30, 2024, only regulated companies can issue and offer #stablecoins to the public. Existing stablecoins that don't meet this criteria will be categorized as "Unauthorized Stablecoins". Binance will restrict the availability of Unauthorized Stablecoins for EEA users across its product offerings.
How Will MiCA Impact You?
Some existing stablecoins may not be regulated and will be subject to restrictions. Binance will implement phased changes to Unauthorized Stablecoins' availability, allowing EEA users to switch to regulated stablecoins while minimizing market disruption.
Binance's Approach:
1. General product restrictions: Binance will restrict products involving Unauthorized Stablecoins across its entire offering.
2. Convert functions for Unauthorized Stablecoins will be available in a "sell-only" mode, allowing EEA users to sell these coins for other digital assets or #fiat currencies.
3. Spot trading pairs with Unauthorized Stablecoins will remain available until further notice, coexisting with trading pairs featuring regulated stablecoins.
4. Wallet services for Unauthorized Stablecoins will continue, enabling users to withdraw or deposit their coins from or to their Binance wallet.
