📢 Heads up, crypto fam! NY-based exchange Uphold is waving goodbye to six stablecoins, including big player Tether (USDT) 🎈 Why? It's all about the upcoming MiCA regulation in the EU.

📌 What's MiCA? It's a new law that kicks in fully by June 30, 2024, setting some hefty rules for all digital assets.

🤔 But what does this mean for USDT in Europe? Elixir's COO, Tim Wang, thinks we might see some market dislocation in the short-term.

🔮 Looking ahead, Wang suggests an intermediate solution might be needed unless the EU decides to quit the crypto game altogether.

🔍 The new EU crypto laws are pretty strict, especially on fiat-backed stablecoins and e-money tokens.

🔄 Uphold isn't alone in this. Other big names like Kraken, Binance, and OKX have also tweaked their stablecoin policies.

🌍 Could this EU move influence crypto regulations elsewhere? Maybe, but Wang reckons stablecoin regulation will be a tricky one, potentially becoming a hot political topic 🌶️
