Hey everyone! 👋
Let's clear up some misconceptions about USDT on Binance.
USDT is NOT disappearing on December 30th. ❌ You can still hold onto your existing USDT.
What Happened?
MiCA Regulation:
In January 2024, the EU introduced the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
Stablecoin Requirements:
This framework outlines strict requirements for stablecoin issuers to operate within the EU.
Only USDC Compliant:
Circle (issuer of USDC) was the only stablecoin issuer to meet the initial requirements.
EU Restrictions:
Since July 2024, EU residents have been restricted from:
Buying USDT. 🚫
Using USDT in their Binance Earn wallets.

If you already held USDT before the restrictions, you can still keep it in your Spot wallet.
No New Purchases:
You cannot buy new USDT on Binance. 🚫
Earn Wallet Changes:
Existing USDT in your Earn wallet will remain unaffected.
You'll receive BNB as rewards instead of USDT.
