Tether 終止對 EURT 穩定幣的支持，優先考慮新的 EURQ 和 USDQ 代幣

流行的 USDT 穩定幣背後的公司 Tether 宣布將停止支持其歐元支持的穩定幣 EURT。

Cryptocurrency company Tether has announced that it will no longer be issuing its euro-backed stablecoin, EURT.

加密貨幣公司 Tether 宣布將不再發行歐元支持的穩定幣 EURT。

According to a statement from Tether on Friday, users will be able to continue to redeem their EURT tokens until November 27, 2025, after which the tokens will become irredeemable.

根據 Tether 週五的聲明，用戶將能夠繼續贖回他們的 EURT 代幣，直到 2025 年 11 月 27 日，之後這些代幣將變得不可贖回。

“This decision aligns with our broader strategic direction, considering the evolving regulatory frameworks surrounding stablecoins in the European market. Until a more risk-averse framework is in place—one that fosters innovation and offers the stability and protection our users deserve—we have chosen to prioritize other initiatives,” Tether said in the announcement.

「考慮到歐洲市場圍繞穩定幣不斷發展的監管框架，這項決定符合我們更廣泛的策略方向。在一個更規避風險的框架到位之前——一個促進創新並提供用戶應得的穩定性和保護的框架——我們選擇優先考慮其他舉措，」Tether 在公告中表示。

The company will instead be focusing on its new stablecoins, EURQ and USDQ, which were created in collaboration with Dutch fintech company Quantoz and are designed to meet the upcoming Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) rules.

相反，該公司將專注於其新的穩定幣 EURQ 和 USDQ，這些穩定幣是與荷蘭金融科技公司 Quantoz 合作創建的，旨在滿足即將出台的加密資產市場 (MiCA) 規則。

Tether's decision to halt EURT issuance comes amid a relative lack of demand for the token, with a current market capitalization of only $27 million.

Tether 決定停止 EURT 發行，是因為對該代幣的需求相對缺乏，目前市值僅 2,700 萬美元。

In comparison, other euro-pegged stablecoins, such as Circle's EURC, have a market cap of around $90 million, while Stasis Euro's stablecoin has a market cap of $130 million.

相比之下，其他與歐元掛鉤的穩定幣，例如 Circle 的 EURC，市值約為 9,000 萬美元，而 Stasis Euro 的穩定幣市值為 1.3 億美元。

Tether's flagship stablecoin, USD₮, has a market capitalization of over $132 billion.

Tether 的旗艦穩定幣 USD₮ 的市值超過 1,320 億美元。

Several cryptocurrency exchanges have already started to delist EURT in anticipation of MiCA's full enforcement, given that the stablecoin does not meet the new regulatory requirements.

鑑於 EURT 不符合新的監管要求，預計 MiCA 將全面執行，多家加密貨幣交易所已經開始下架 EURT。

For example, Bitstamp, which was among the first exchanges to list EURT, is set to delist the token by June 2024.

例如，Bitstamp 是首批上線 EURT 的交易所之一，預計將於 2024 年 6 月下架該代幣。

Similarly, OKX and Uphold are also set to delist EURT pairs and have also removed USDT from their platforms for European users. Coinbase is also expected to follow suit by December 2024, in line with MiCA's compliance requirements.

同樣，OKX 和 Uphold 也將下架 EURT 貨幣對，並從歐洲用戶的平台上刪除 USDT。 Coinbase 預計也將在 2024 年 12 月之前效仿，以符合 MiCA 的合規要求。
