👀 From June 30, 2024, new rules for stablecoins in the territory of the European Economic Area (EEA) come into force. Stablecoin operators must obtain a license from a competent authority of an EU member state. They are also required to provide full disclosure to clients, present a public business model, establish an effective governance system and register with the EBA.
🚫 Binance warns that the restrictions will apply to "unregulated stablecoins". The exchange plans to gradually change access to these assets, allowing European users to switch to regulated "stable coins".
📅 From June 30, European clients will only be able to sell "unregulated stablecoins", the purchase of these assets will be stopped. The restriction will also affect the copy trading service and participation in Launchpad, Launchpool, Simple Earn and other services.

Ripple’s XRP has seen significant activity, with 3 billion tokens worth $1.5 billion transferred in 24 hours, raising market stability concerns. Typically, Ripple releases 1 billion XRP from escrow monthly, but this month’s larger-than-usual movements have sparked speculation. These transfers, mostly internal, include 1 billion unlocked from Ripple's escrow. Despite a 1% price decline to $0.51, XRP remains stable. However, market experts fear additional selling pressure could hinder recovery, with reports suggesting a large XRP sell-off in June.
