EU silence does not make USDT MiCA-compliant, says exec
While MiCA’s implementation phase is ending on Dec. 30, 2024, there is also a transitional 18-month phase in MiCA’s total 36-month timeline.
The European Union’s cryptocurrency regulations are set to take full effect in just a matter of days, but there’s still a significant amount of uncertainty on Tether’s USDt stablecoin.
United States crypto exchange Coinbase delisted Tether’s USDt (USDT) in mid-December, citing compliance with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).
After Coinbase’s USDT delisting, the stablecoin has continued trading across the EU, with many exchanges apparently awaiting more clarity from European authorities on USDT’s compliance with MiCA.
