Hat die EU einfach an den Bordstein gekommen?

The European Union (EU) has given the green light to ten stablecoin issuers under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations. 🤪 Big deal, right? Well, get this – the biggest stablecoin, Tether (USDT), is MIA! It’s like they threw a party and forgot to invite the life of the party! 🍾🎉

Tether Misses Out as EU Grants MiCA Approval to 10 Stablecoin Providers

Tether, the king of stablecoins with a market cap of $141 billion, is now playing the role of the sad trombone. 🎺 The EU said „no thanks“ to them, and guess what? Crypto platforms are already ditching USDT for EU users. Talk about a cold shoulder!

Meanwhile, the other ten approved stablecoin issuers are high-fiving each other. They’ve got the official stamp of approval to issue ten euro-pegged stablecoins and five US dollar-pegged stablecoins. Looks like they’re going to be the new cool kids on the block. 😎

But hold on, there’s more! The EU also gave the thumbs up to 11 Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) in Germany, the Netherlands, and Malta. They’re the ones who handle trading, exchange, custody, and all that fancy crypto stuff. The EU is definitely getting serious about regulating this wild west. 🤠

Expanding Operations Beyond the EU

Tether, feeling a little left out, is now focusing on countries that aren’t so strict. They even tried to buy a stake in a South African energy company! Talk about a power play. 💪

Tether isn’t happy about being excluded from MiCA. They’re calling the EU’s decision „hasty and unwarranted.“ But the EU says „sorry, not sorry,“ because they have to follow their own rules. It’s like a game of musical chairs, and Tether just didn’t get a seat. 🪑

Tether is also trying to make friends in the sports world. They recently invested in Juventus, the Italian soccer team. Maybe they think scoring some goals will distract people from their EU woes. ⚽

MiCA Rules To Isolate the EU Crypto?

Some people are worried that MiCA is making the EU’s crypto market look like a lonely island. 🏝️ Natalia Łątka, a bigwig at Merkle Science, says that the EU’s strict rules might scare away foreign companies and even make local ones move to friendlier places. She’s not wrong, either. Who wants to play by super strict rules when there are other places to have fun?

Others point out that MiCA’s focus on rules might stifle innovation. They say that the EU could end up with fewer options for crypto users because companies are afraid to take risks. 😨
