How MiCA Affects $USDT

Tether ($USDT) has not yet secured MiCA-compliant licenses, leading some European exchanges, like Coinbase Europe, to delist USDT. In response, alternative stablecoins like $USDC and EURC are being promoted as MiCA-compliant options.

Current Status for Exchanges

While Binance and other exchanges still list $USDT for European users, they are awaiting further guidance from EU regulators. This change does not currently affect Asian or other non-European markets.
