In a Jan. 2 statement shared with Cointelegraph, Tether announced that Hoegner had retired and would be succeeded as General Counsel by Tether’s current legal counsel.

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

Tether 法律领导层的变化是在欧洲实施 MiCA 之际发生的，该协议于 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 法规让 Tether 等稳定币发行商陷入困境，该法规没有明确说明该公司与美元挂钩的稳定币 Tether (USDT) 是否符合欧盟新的加密框架。

“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 加密货币联盟技术委员会成员 Juan Ignacio Ibañez 在 12 月 29 日的一份报告中告诉 Cointelegraph：“没有监管机构明确表示 USDT 不合规，但这并不意味着它不合规。”

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，欧洲证券和市场管理局（ESMA）——MiCA 合规性的主要监管者——拒绝告诉 Cointelegraph，USDT 是否被视为 MiCA 下的受限制稳定币。

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 发言人随后表示，监管机构正在与市场参与者和其他利益相关者合作，解决 MiCA 中提出的与稳定币相关的问题。

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.

尽管 Tether 在欧洲的法律地位问题一直存在模糊指导，但美国加密货币交易所 Coinbase 于 12 月中旬以遵守 MiCA 为由将 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.

尽管 Coinbase 采取了下架 USDT 的举措，但该稳定币仍在欧盟各地继续交易，许多交易所仍在等待欧洲当局进一步明确 USDT 是否符合 MiCA。
