MiCA - USDT services on Tradesilvania

Tradesilvania -

European legislation regarding cryptocurrencies, known as MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets), covers various aspects of the crypto market, including regulations for stablecoins, ensuring a clear and coherent legal framework for users and investors in the European Union.

Currently, MiCA strictly applies to stablecoins, requiring them to undergo a rigorous authorization process to be traded within the EU. This authorization process is intended to ensure that all stablecoins meet necessary standards of security and transparency.

USDT (Tether) is not yet an authorized stablecoin under MiCA, leading to various approaches and measures within the crypto space.

Tradesilvania will implement phased changes regarding the availability of unauthorized stablecoins, as detailed below. These transition measures aim to allow users in the EEA to move towards regulated stablecoins, avoiding market disruptions and adhering to MiCA rules concerning stablecoins.
