MiCA 停止 EURT

The issuer of USDT, Tether, has announced the discontinuation of support for its EURT stablecoin. Users holding the stable on the various blockchains will then have to redeem their assets within a year.

USDT 發行人 Tether 宣布停止支援其 EURT 穩定幣。在各個區塊鏈上持有穩定幣的用戶必須在一年內贖回他們的資產。

The decision for this stop follows the directions of MiCA, the new European crypto regulation, which introduces very specific criteria to be met regarding stablecoins.

這項停止的決定遵循 MiCA（新的歐洲加密貨幣法規）的指示，該法規引入了有關穩定幣的非常具體的標準。

“The discontinuation of support for EURT is in line with our broader development strategy, which is to protect against new and evolving regulatory frameworks surrounding stablecoins,” reads Tether’s official statement.

Tether 的官方聲明中寫道：“停止對 EURT 的支持符合我們更廣泛的發展戰略，即防範圍繞穩定幣的新的和不斷發展的監管框架。”

Partly because of this, the issuer’s focus will now be shifted to assets that comply with the new regulation, such as EURQ and USDQ.

部分原因是，發行人現在的重點將轉向符合新規定的資產，例如 EURQ 和 USDQ。

Tether’s problems with the EU

Tether 與歐盟的問題

The new MiCA regulations will be implemented gradually. These include new criteria to be met in relation to reserves, but also several of an administrative nature, common to any issuer offering services within the EU.

MiCA新規將逐步實施。其中包括與準備金相關的新標準，以及在歐盟境內提供服務的任何發行人所共有的一些行政性質的標準。

There are already those who, with respect to regulation, have already adapted. Circle‘s EURC, for example, has taken advantage of Tether’s regulatory problems to overcome the euro stable with respect to capitalization. But also not to be underestimated is the regulatory impact that MiCA could have (in a worst-case scenario) on USDT, which to date has not yet obtained the necessary license. Should it be denied, exchanges would be forced to offer only a limited portion of the stable.

在監管方面，已經有人已經適應了。例如，Circle 的 EURC 利用了 Tether 的監管問題來克服歐元在資本方面的穩定。但同樣不可低估的是 MiCA（在最壞的情況下）可能對 USDT 產生的監管影響，迄今為止 USDT 尚未獲得必要的許可。如果被拒絕，交易所將被迫只提供穩定的有限部分。

“MiCA requirements could not only make the issuer’s job complex, but also affect the security of the assets, which would become,” Tether ceo Paolo Ardoino had said last June

Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 去年 6 月表示：“MiCA 要求不僅會使發行人的工作變得複雜，還會影響資產的安全性。”
