Tether (USDT) 發行人將停止支持與歐元掛鉤的穩定幣 (EURT)

全球最大穩定幣發行商 Tether 將停止在所有區塊鏈上支援其與歐元掛鉤的穩定幣 EURt (EURT)。

Stablecoin issuer Tether is discontinuing support for its euro-pegged stablecoin, EURT (EURT), across all blockchains.

穩定幣發行商 Tether 將停止在所有區塊鏈上支援其與歐元掛鉤的穩定幣 EURT (EURT)。

Users are required to redeem their holdings by November 25, 2025, according to a statement released on Thursday.

根據週四發布的聲明，用戶必須在 2025 年 11 月 25 日之前贖回所持股份。

The company cited evolving regulatory frameworks in Europe, such as the upcoming Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, as a key factor behind the decision. Tether has already halted minting new EURT tokens, with the last acquisition request for EURT processed in 2022.

該公司指出，歐洲不斷發展的監管框架，例如即將推出的加密資產市場（MiCA）監管，是這項決定背後的關鍵因素。 Tether 已停止鑄造新的 EURT 代幣，最後一次收購 EURT 的請求已於 2022 年處理。

“This decision aligns with our broader strategic direction, considering the evolving regulatory frameworks surrounding stablecoins in the European market,” the company stated, adding that community interest remains central to its token deployment decisions.

該公司表示：「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。」並補充說，社區利益仍然是其代幣部署決策的核心。

Launched in 2016, EURT was designed to provide a euro-backed stable asset for crypto markets, pegged 1:1 to the euro. However, with a market capitalization of just $27 million—0.02% of USDt’s market cap—EURT has seen limited adoption compared to its USD-backed counterpart.

EURT 於 2016 年推出，旨在為加密貨幣市場提供歐元支持的穩定資產，與歐元 1:1 掛鉤。然而，由於 EURT 的市值僅為 2,700 萬美元（佔 USDt 市值的 0.02%），因此與美元支持的貨幣相比，其採用率有限。

Focus shifts to MiCA-compliant stablecoins

焦點轉向符合 MiCA 的穩定幣

Tether’s exit from the euro stablecoin space reflects growing regulatory scrutiny under MiCA, which is set to take full effect by the end of 2024. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has previously criticized the framework, suggesting it poses systemic banking risks for stablecoins.

Tether 退出歐元穩定幣領域反映了 MiCA 日益嚴格的監管審查，該法案將於 2024 年底全面生效。

Despite retiring EURT, Tether remains committed to investing in MiCA-compliant projects. This includes EURq and USDq stablecoins developed by Dutch fintech firm Quantoz Payments, supported by Tether alongside Kraken exchange and Fabric Ventures. These stablecoins will leverage Tether’s Hadron technology, which streamlines compliance, Anti-Money Laundering processes, and blockchain interactions for issuers.

儘管 EURT 退役，Tether 仍致力於投資符合 MiCA 的專案。其中包括由荷蘭金融科技公司 Quantoz Payments 開發的 EURq 和 USDq 穩定幣，並得到 Tether 以及 Kraken 交易所和 Fabric Ventures 的支持。這些穩定幣將利用 Tether 的 Hadron 技術，該技術可為發行人簡化合規性、反洗錢流程和區塊鏈互動。

While Circle’s EURC and Société Générale’s EURCV currently dominate the euro-stablecoin market with a 67% share, Quantoz’s EURQ tries to carve out its own presence. As part of MiCA compliance, Quantoz will retain 2% of the token supply on its balance sheet.

雖然 Circle 的 EURC 和法國興業銀行的 EURCV 目前以 67% 的份額主導歐元穩定幣市場，但 Quantoz 的 EURQ 試圖開拓自己的市場份額。作為 MiCA 合規性的一部分，Quantoz 將在其資產負債表上保留 2% 的代幣供應量。

Tether recently announced partnerships with UAE firms Phoenix Group and Green Acorn Investments to launch its own dirham-pegged stablecoin.

Tether 最近宣布與阿聯酋公司 Phoenix Group 和 Green Acorn Investments 合作推出自己的與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣。
