Coinbase Global Inc. aims to align the listing of digital assets on its platform with European MiCA regulations by the conclusion of 2024. Users from the European Economic Area (EEA) will soon face limitations on accessing specific stablecoins, including USDT.
In 2025, Coinbase users within the EU will be unable to access stablecoins issued by entities that do not possess a European Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license. As reported by Bloomberg, the cryptocurrency exchange’s adherence to MiCA could adversely affect Tether’s stablecoins.

Coinbase has stated that it plans to prevent EEA users from engaging with services related to stablecoins lacking EU licenses starting December 30, 2024. Comprehensive details regarding the exchange’s forthcoming measures will be disclosed in the next month. Specifically, Coinbase will offer users alternatives to convert their assets into stablecoins that comply with EU regulations. For instance, USDC from Circle, which obtained an EMI license from the French Office of Supervision and Dispute Resolution (ACPR) in July of this year.
While USDT and USDC hold significant shares in the global stablecoin market, their popularity stems from differing strategies. For instance, USDT benefits from broader distribution and greater liquidity on cryptocurrency exchanges. However, Tether has faced transparency challenges in the past, allowing Circle to capture market share by prioritizing regulatory compliance. For example, USDC undergoes regular independent audits, and the issuer maintains transparency regarding its reserves. More information on the distinctions between USDT and USDC can be found in the report by the team at CryptoProcessing.com.
The regulatory stipulations outlined in the MiCA legislation in the European Union concerning stablecoins are set to take effect at the end of 2024, which may foster the growth of the local stablecoin market.
