Crypto exchange Coinbase is set to delist unauthorized stablecoins from its European branch by year-end, in response to incoming MiCA regulations. 
U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/coinbase/" target="_blank">Coinbase</a> will remove all non-compliant <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/stablecoin/" target="_blank">stablecoins</a> from its European exchange by the end of this year, as the company moves to comply with the European Union’s new crypto regulations, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-04/coinbase-to-delist-non-compliant-stablecoins-in-eu-in-december" target="_blank">has learned</a>. 
The Markets in Crypto-Assets framework, which came into effect in June for stablecoin issuers, requires companies to hold e-money authorization in at least one Europe’s member state. Further regulatory guidelines for exchanges like Coinbase will be enforced starting Dec. 31. 
A spokesperson for Coinbase told Bloomberg that the exchange plans to restrict services related to non-compliant stablecoins, including Tether’s (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/tether/" target="_blank">USDT</a>) by Dec. 30. The exchange will provide users with an update in November, outlining options to convert their holdings to alternatives such as Circle’s USD Coin&nbsp;(<a rel="" href="https://crypto.news/price/usd-coin/">USDC</a>).

In early July, French blockchain analytics firm Kaiko <a href="https://crypto.news/mica-regulations-mostly-benefited-usdc-kaiko-says/" target="_blank">said</a> in a research note that Circle has benefited from the MiCA regulations, with its stablecoins experiencing significant increases in daily trading volumes following the introduction of the new requirements. 
Still, industry leaders have expressed concerns about the regulations. For instance, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino <a href="https://crypto.news/tether-ceo-warns-mica-stablecoin-rules-could-pose-systemic-risks-to-eu-banks/" target="_blank">cautioned</a> that stringent cash reserve requirements could pose systemic risks to banks. 
The delisting trend is not limited to stablecoins as Kraken recently announced it would halt trading and deposits of Monero (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/monero/" target="_blank">XMR</a>) in the European Economic Area due to regulatory changes, following similar moves by Binance and OKX.
