Binance warns about potential restrictions on certain stablecoins under the MiCA rules
Additionally, the platform published a blog post on its official website. The company revealed that the MiCA Stablecoin regulations will be implemented on June 30th of this year. This will have an impact on the entire EEA, marking the beginning of the unique regulatory agenda.
Binance stated that this will significantly influence the stablecoin sector within the EEA jurisdiction. According to the exchange, the stablecoin regulation in the EEA will only allow regulated entities to offer and issue stablecoins. These regulated stablecoins will fall under a specific category. However, many existing stablecoins may not meet the criteria and will be categorized as “unauthorized stablecoins.”
As a result, these excluded stablecoins may face certain restrictions. The MiCA regulations will introduce phased changes to the availability of these stablecoins. The aim is to encourage EEA consumers to transition to regulated stablecoins, ensuring compliance with the stablecoin rules under MiCA and avoiding market disruptions.
Binance emphasizes its commitment to protecting users while complying with regulations. In light of this, the exchange will limit the availability of unauthorized stablecoins for EEA consumers. This action will specifically apply to Binance wallet, Spot Trading, and Binance Convert. The regulations grant certain permissions to EEA-based banks and Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs). These entities are allowed to mint and issue stablecoins, promote stablecoin purchases, and request trading entities to list the stablecoins. Binance assures that it will comply with all regulatory requirements while prioritizing consumer protection.
