由於 MiCA 監管要求，Coinbase 將限制歐洲用戶交易 Tether 等某些穩定幣

從 12 月 13 日開始，Coinbase Europe 將下架一籃子穩定幣代幣，其中包括加密貨幣最大的與法定掛鉤的貨幣 Tether (USDT)。

Coinbase will reportedly begin restricting European users from trading certain stablecoins, including Tether (USDT), on Dec. 13.

根據報導，Coinbase 將於 12 月 13 日開始限制歐洲用戶交易某些穩定幣，包括 Tether (USDT)。

The move comes as part of the crypto exchange’s efforts to comply with the regulatory requirements outlined in the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework.

此舉是加密貨幣交易所努力遵守歐盟加密資產市場（MiCA）框架中概述的監管要求的一部分。

According to an email sent to European Coinbase users and seen by crypto.news, the exchange will be “delisting a basket of stablecoin tokens” to adhere to the MiCA rules.

根據 crypto.news 看到的一封發送給歐洲 Coinbase 用戶的電子郵件，該交易所將“下架一籃穩定幣”，以遵守 MiCA 規則。

The email states that Tether (USDT), Pax Dollar (PAX), Binance USD (BUSD), Circle USD Coin (USDC), TrueUSD (TUSD), GUSD, GYEN, and Maker (DAI) stablecoins will be affected by the trading prohibition.

電子郵件指出，Tether (USDT)、Pax Dollar (PAX)、Binance USD (BUSD)、Circle USD Coin (USDC)、TrueUSD (TUSD)、GUSD、GYEN 和 Maker (DAI) 穩定幣將受到交易禁令的影響。

However, the email also notes that Coinbase will continue to offer trading support for Circle stablecoins USDC and EURC, which were granted a European stablecoin license — the first of its kind — under the new MiCA laws.

不過，電子郵件也指出，Coinbase 將繼續為Circle 穩定幣USDC 和EURC 提供交易支持，這兩種穩定幣根據新的MiCA 法律獲得了歐洲穩定幣許可證，這是同類許可證中的第一個。

“Coinbase will continue to support trading for USDC and EURC stablecoins, which have obtained regulatory approval in the relevant jurisdictions where Coinbase operates,” the email reads.

電子郵件中寫道：“Coinbase 將繼續支持 USDC 和 EURC 穩定幣交易，這些穩定幣已獲得 Coinbase 運營所在相關司法管轄區的監管批准。”

“Other stablecoin tokens, including Tether (USDT), will be delisted from Coinbase Europe. These tokens may be relisted at a later date if they achieve MiCA compliance.”

「包括 Tether (USDT) 在內的其他穩定幣代幣將從 Coinbase Europe 下架。如果這些代幣達到 MiCA 合規性，則可能會在以後重新上市。

At the time of writing, Tether has yet to publicly address the delisting notice. A request for commentary sent by crypto.news also remained unanswered.

截至撰寫本文時，Tether 尚未公開發布下架通知。 crypto.news 發出的評論請求也仍未得到回應。

As previously reported by crypto.news, the fate of Tether in the European market has been a subject of discussion for several months, especially as MiCA was set to go into full effect by the end of December.

正如 crypto.news 之前報導的那樣，幾個月來，Tether 在歐洲市場的命運一直是討論的話題，特別是 MiCA 將於 12 月底全面生效。

In past statements, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expressed the company’s intention to continue serving European users despite the regulatory landscape. However, specific details regarding this plan have been limited.

在過去的聲明中，Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 表示，儘管存在監管環境，該公司仍打算繼續為歐洲用戶提供服務。然而，有關該計劃的具體細節有限。

It remains to be seen whether Tether will opt to exit the European market by 2025, as suggested by some observers, or if it will pursue other strategies to maintain its presence in the region.

Tether 是否會像一些觀察家所建議的那樣選擇在 2025 年之前退出歐洲市場，或者是否會採取其他策略來維持其在該地區的存在，還有待觀察。

Meanwhile, Ardoino did voice concerns about MiCA potentially putting stablecoins at risk back in August. Notably, the regulatory framework includes provisions that could ban certain types of stablecoins in the future.

與此同時，Ardoino 在 8 月確實表達了對 MiCA 可能使穩定幣面臨風險的擔憂。值得注意的是，監管架構包括未來可能禁止某些類型穩定幣的條款。

“MiCA might have put stablecoins at risk, but it also highlighted the importance of having a clear regulatory framework for digital assets in the EU,” Ardoino said at the time.

Ardoino 當時表示：“MiCA 可能會讓穩定幣面臨風險，但這也凸顯了歐盟為數位資產制定明確監管框架的重要性。”

“This framework will provide legal certainty for crypto businesses and help to protect consumers. We are now waiting for the European Commission to adopt the final MiCA text and for member states to implement the regulation into national law.”

「該框架將為加密貨幣企業提供法律確定性，並有助於保護消費者。我們現在正在等待歐盟委員會通過 MiCA 最終文本，並等待成員國將該法規落實到國家法律中。

With a market cap of around $140 billion and a massive circulating supply of the USDT stablecoin, Tether is the largest stablecoin operator by a significant margin.

Tether 的市值約為 1,400 億美元，USDT 穩定幣流通量龐大，是最大的穩定幣營運商，遙遙領先。

While the European Union certainly represents a major economic area, it’s also worth noting that a large portion of Tether’s business is concentrated in emerging markets such as Latin America and Southeast Asia.

雖然歐盟無疑代表了一個主要的經濟區域，但值得注意的是，Tether 的很大一部分業務集中在拉丁美洲和東南亞等新興市場。

In other news, the company also managed to pocket billions in record profits throughout the year, which were used to make investments in Bitcoin (BTC), mining facilities, and data centers.

在其他消息中，該公司全年還成功賺取了數十億美元的創紀錄利潤，這些利潤用於投資比特幣（BTC）、採礦設施和資料中心。

Moreover, Tether’s substantial holdings of U.S. Treasury Bills could potentially position the startup to benefit greatly from American stablecoin policies, especially if we consider the recent developments and increased attention in this domain.

此外，Tether 持有大量美國國債，這可能會使這家新創公司從美國穩定幣政策中獲益匪淺，特別是如果我們考慮到該領域的最新發展和日益受到的關注。

However, Tether has not explicitly announced any specific strategies to bolster its presence within United States borders.

然而，Tether 尚未明確宣布任何加強其在美國境內存在的具體策略。
