Binance’s USDT integration on TON comes before an expected regulatory shift in the European Economic Area (EEA).
The changes will place certain restrictions on unauthorized stablecoins, such as USDT, under the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA).&nbsp;
In its announcement, Binance advised users to stay informed about the changes to ensure compliance and avoid potential disruptions to crypto activities.
The cryptocurrency exchange Uphold recently announced to users that it would be <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/uphold-delist-6-stablecoins-by-july-1-citing-mi-ca">delisting USDT and five other stablecoins</a> by July 1 due to the European Union’s MiCA regulations.
The other five stablecoins included Dai (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/dai-price-index">DAI</a>), Frax Protocol (FRAX), Gemini dollar (GUSD), Pax dollar (USDP) and TrueUSD (TUSD).
