要約
- New European Securities and Markets Authority guidance requires authorized crypto platforms to stop services that allow EU customers to trade or increase holdings of stablecoins that do not comply with the bloc’s Markets in Crypto Assets rules.
- The guidance does not name specific tokens. Tether’s dollar-pegged USDT, the largest stablecoin by market value, is a prominent example that is not authorized under MiCA.
- National regulators should ensure remaining customer holdings are resolved within three months, while allowing limited services for users to sell, convert, withdraw, transfer or safeguard existing tokens.
