in the Netherlands last week. Today, three other crypto firms, including the
Dutch asset management firm BitStaete, have joined.
Other countries in the EU• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ев » Евросоюз are still working to adopt MiCA regulations by the

“Socios.com has secured full regulatory approval from Malta Financial Services

Malta s well established regulatory framework is already significantly
aligned with MiCA regulation,” Chiliz announced on X (formerly Twitter).
While the EU• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ев » Евросоюз advances its MiCA framework, the UK has continued to refine its
own approach to crypto regulation. The FCA is aiming to finalize regulations
by 2026, with a key focus on stablecoins.
Also, Lithuania has emerged as a hub for crypto firms aiming to comply with
MiCA. Bitget is expanding operations in the country to strengthen its presence

A Critical Roadblock for Tether• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Tether
MiCA s introduction has raised concerns about its potential impact on
stablecoins , particularly Tether• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Tether’s USDT.
In November, Coinbase announced it would restrict USDT transactions in the EU• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ев » Евросоюз
to align with MiCA regulations. Other exchanges have since followed suit, with
plans to delist Tether• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Tether s stablecoin in the region.

When MiCA took effect, USDT s market capitalization dropped by $2
billion. It briefly prompted fears of a potential collapse.
However, analysts have dismissed these concerns . There are several
counter-arguments that MiCA would hurt the EU• Объект организация » Организации по алфавиту » Организации на Ев » Евросоюз crypto market• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта, as it excludes

“Most of Tether• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Tether’s liquidity originates outside the region. With an average
daily trading volume of $44 billion, Tether• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Tether s operations remain largely

at WeFi, told BeInCrypto
To prepare for MiCA, Tether• Экономика » Финансы » Платежные средства » Платежные системы интернета » Криптовалюта » Tether halted its euro-denominated stablecoin (EURT) .
The stablecoin issuer remains focused on markets in Asia, where USDT trading

industry will become clearer, particularly in areas like stablecoin regulation
and cross-border operations.
