Tether responds to EU regulation, exchange plans to delist USDT

According to Cointelegraph, Tether is concerned about the delisting of the USDT exchange caused by EU MiCA regulations. (Crypto.com) has confirmed that it will begin delisting USDT and nine other tokens from European platforms on January 31st, following Coinbase's removal of USDT in December 2024 on compliance grounds. Tether criticized this move as hasty and lacking clear evidence, and warned that a sudden delisting could increase market instability and affect European cryptocurrency users. MiCA requires non compliant stablecoins to be fully restricted by the end of the first quarter of 2025, but exchanges may offer limited selling options before March 31st. In addition, Tether announced the relocation of its headquarters to El Salvador to support the country's Bitcoin policy and decentralized financial development.
