Coinbase Delists Unauthorized Stablecoins Including Tether (USDT) to Meet EU's MiCA Regulatory Standards

Users in the EEA will be able to convert their holdings of unauthorized stablecoins to compliant alternatives by December 30.

Coinbase is preparing to delist several stablecoins from its European platform by December 30 to comply with the EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations.

The decision will affect stablecoins that do not have the necessary authorization to operate within the European Economic Area (EEA), as outlined by MiCA.

Coinbase users in the EEA will have until December 30 to convert their holdings of unauthorized stablecoins to compliant alternatives. Further details on the matter are expected to be announced by Coinbase in November.

The second-largest stablecoin issuer on Coinbase, Circle, is expected to remain a primary option for users transitioning to MiCA-compliant assets.

Coinbase’s decision is part of a broader shift in the crypto industry to adapt to the new EU regulations.

The MiCA framework, which took effect on June 30 for stablecoin issuers, requires these companies to hold e-money authorization in at least one EU member state to operate within the bloc.

The rules are designed to protect users while promoting innovation in the digital asset space.

These stablecoin issuers must also adhere to strict capital requirements, cash reserve mandates, andܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞܞ
