Tether ’s USDT stablecoin is facing challenges as the European Union’s new MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) rules take effect on December 30, 2024. If Tether doesn’t follow these rules, USDT could be removed from European crypto exchanges!
💡 What is MiCA?
MiCA is a set of crypto regulations that make rules the same for all 27 EU countries. Before MiCA, crypto companies needed different licenses for each country. Now, MiCA simplifies everything!
🚩 Why Could USDT Be Delisted?
USDT is the world’s most popular stablecoin, making up 68% of global trading with a market value of $140 billion.
If Tether doesn’t follow MiCA rules, European exchanges may stop trading USDT. This could make it harder for users to trade or use USDT in the EU.
🛑 Coinbase Already Removed USDT
In December 2024, Coinbase removed USDT due to MiCA concerns. Other big exchanges like Binance might do the same unless Tether meets the rules.
🌍 Tether’s Plan to Stay in Europe
Tether has partnered with StablR, a MiCA-compliant stablecoin company, to try and meet the EU rules. If they fail, other stablecoins like USDC or euro-based tokens may take USDT’s place in Europe.
🚀 What’s Next for Crypto in Europe?
The EU wants clear and safe crypto rules to protect investors. But they remind everyone that crypto is still risky. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) will guide companies to make this transition smoother.
