The change in legal leadership for Tether comes amid the implementation of MiCA in Europe, which officially came into effect on Dec. 30.

Tether 法律領導層的變化是在歐洲實施 MiCA 之際發生的，該協議於 12 月 30 日正式生效。

The MiCA regulations have left stablecoin issuers like Tether in limbo, with the regulations not clearly stating whether or not the firm’s U.S. Dollar-pegged stablecoin Tether (USDT) complies with the new crypto framework for the European Union.

MiCA 法規讓 Tether 等穩定幣發行商陷入困境，該法規並未明確說明該公司與美元掛鉤的穩定幣 Tether (USDT) 是否符合歐盟新的加密框架。

“No regulators have explicitly stated that USDT isn’t compliant, but this does not mean that it is,” Juan Ignacio Ibañez, a member of the Technical Committee of the MiCA Crypto Alliance, told Cointelegraph in a Dec. 29 report.

MiCA 加密貨幣聯盟技術委員會成員 Juan Ignacio Ibañez 在 12 月 29 日的一份報告中告訴 Cointelegraph：“沒有監管機構明確表示 USDT 不合規，但這並不意味著它不合規。”

In October 2024, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) — a key supervisor of MiCA compliance — declined to tell Cointelegraph whether USDT was seen as a restricted stablecoin under MiCA.

2024 年 10 月，歐洲證券和市場管理局（ESMA）——MiCA 合規性的主要監管者——拒絕告訴 Cointelegraph，USDT 是否被視為 MiCA 下的受限穩定幣。

A spokesperson at ESMA then said that the regulator was working with market participants and other stakeholders to address stablecoin-related issues presented in MiCA.

ESMA 發言人隨後表示，監管機構正在與市場參與者和其他利害關係人合作，解決 MiCA 中提出的與穩定幣相關的問題。

While there has been murky guidance on the matter of Tether’s legal status in Europe, United States crypto exchange Coinbase delisted USDT in mid-December, citing compliance with MiCA.

儘管 Tether 在歐洲的法律地位問題一直存在模糊指導，但美國加密貨幣交易所 Coinbase 於 12 月中旬以遵守 MiCA 為由將 USDT 摘牌。

Despite Coinbase’s move to delist USDT, the stablecoin has continued trading across the EU, with many exchanges still awaiting further clarity from European authorities on USDT’s compliance with MiCA.

儘管 Coinbase 採取了下架 USDT 的舉措，但該穩定幣仍在歐盟各地繼續交易，許多交易所仍在等待歐洲當局進一步明確 USDT 是否符合 MiCA。
