Under MiCA, stablecoin issuers must obtain electronic money authorization in at least one EU member state, with compliance required by December 31, 2024.Tether’s USDT, the largest stablecoin by market cap, may face delisting from Coinbase as it has not yet secured the necessary authorization in Europe. This potential delisting could impact USDT’s market price, given Coinbase&#39;s significant user base.The exchange plans to provide users with options for converting stablecoins and will update its plans in November. Other exchanges, like Bitstamp and OKX, have already restricted access to USDT in anticipation of the new regulations.
