Binance announces that to comply with the latest EU regulatory requirements for stablecoins, it will adjust the use of non-MiCA compliant stablecoins in the European Economic Area (EEA). These affected assets include USDT, FDUSD, TUSD, USDP, DAI, AEUR, UST, USTC, and PAXG.
MiCA-compliant stablecoin trading pairs (such as USDC and EURI) and fiat trading pairs (such as EUR) will continue to be available and unaffected. Binance recommends that users convert their non-MiCA compliant stablecoins (such as USDT) to USDC, EURI, or EUR as soon as possible. The custody function for non-MiCA compliant stablecoins will be retained, and users can access these assets at any time. Spot trading for non-MiCA compliant stablecoin trading pairs will be completely delisted from April 1st, 2025, at 07:59 (Beijing time), and users can still sell remaining assets through Binance Convert.
It is reported that MiCA requires non-compliant stablecoins to be fully restricted by the end of the first quarter of 2025, but exchanges can provide limited selling options before March 31st. Crypto.com confirmed that it will start delisting USDT and nine other tokens from its European platform on January 31st, following Coinbase's removal of USDT in December 2024 for compliance reasons. Kraken previously announced that all non-compliant currencies held on its European platform will be converted to "equivalent stablecoins" starting from March 31st.
