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 发行人 Tether 宣布停止支持其 EURT 稳定币。在各个区块链上持有稳定币的用户必须在一年内赎回他们的资产。

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.

此次停止的决定遵循 MiCA（新的欧洲加密货币法规）的指示，该法规引入了有关稳定币的非常具体的标准。

“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 的官方声明中写道：“停止对 EURT 的支持符合我们更广泛的发展战略，即防范围绕稳定币的新的和不断发展的监管框架。”

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，发行人现在的重点将转向符合新规定的资产，例如 EURQ 和 USDQ。

Tether’s problems with the EU

Tether 与欧盟的问题

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新规将逐步实施。其中包括与准备金相关的新标准，以及在欧盟境内提供服务的任何发行人所共有的一些行政性质的标准。

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.

在监管方面，已经有人已经适应了。例如，Circle 的 EURC 利用了 Tether 的监管问题来克服欧元在资本方面的稳定。但同样不可低估的是 MiCA（在最坏的情况下）可能对 USDT 产生的监管影响，迄今为止 USDT 尚未获得必要的许可。如果被拒绝，交易所将被迫只提供稳定的有限部分。

“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 首席执行官 Paolo Ardoino 去年 6 月表示：“MiCA 要求不仅会使发行人的工作变得复杂，还会影响资产的安全性。”
