This action is required to comply with the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which establishes strict regulatory requirements for stablecoins classified as Asset-Referenced Tokens (ARTs) and E-Money Tokens (EMTs). Under MiCA, issuers of ARTs and EMTs must obtain authorization from regulatory authorities, ensure adequate and transparent reserves, implement robust risk management frameworks, and provide regular detailed disclosures to users and regulators. Additionally, these stablecoins must be redeemable at all times at par value. According to recent guidance provided by ESMA and the European Commission, crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) and virtual asset service providers (VASPs) operating in the EEA are required to discontinue services related to stablecoins that are not compliant with MiCA requirements. Stablecoins such as USDT, PYUSD, EURT, FDUSD, and USD3 are currently classified as non-compliant due to their failure to meet MiCA’s requirements and the absence of registration with the respective authorities. As a regulated virtual asset service provider (VASP), we are required to discontinue support for non-compliant tokens to ensure full regulatory compliance, protect our customers, and uphold market integrity and stability.
