🔸 As the “MICA” rules are nearing their end of implementation on January 10, 2023, the fate of Tether (USDT) in the European Union is uncertain. According to a member of the #MiCA Crypto Alliance Technical Committee, none of the European regulators have yet officially announced whether Tether is compliant with the MICA rules.
🔸 While some exchanges like Coinbase have removed Tether from their services in Europe, many others like Binance and Crypto.com continue to support the currency. According to experts, exchanges can gain more transparency from regulators with a “#WAIT and #see ” strategy.
🔸 According to the MICA rules, companies providing digital currency services before the aforementioned date have until July 1, 2021 to obtain the necessary licenses or cease their activities.
