Binance Delists 9 Stablecoins in Europe amid MiCA Compliance and Sale Rumors

Cryptocurrency exchange Binance will delist several stablecoins in the European Economic Area (EEA) to comply with the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. The delisting will take effect on March 31, 2025, the exchange announced today (Monday).

Meanwhile, speculation about Binance potentially being for sale arose following reports of asset movements in its treasury, which the exchange clarified as routine accounting adjustments. Co-founders Changpeng Zhao and Yi He addressed the rumors, attributing them to a competitor’s public relations strategy.

The decision affects spot trading pairs with nine stablecoins, including Tether (USDT), Dai (DAI), First Digital USD (FDUSD), and TrueUSD (TUSD). MiCA-compliant stablecoins, such as USD Coin (USDC) and Eurite (EURI), will not be impacted.

Binance advised users to convert non-compliant stablecoins into MiCA-compliant alternatives or fiat currencies like the euro. The delisting follows Binance’s ongoing efforts to secure a MiCA license and aligns with previous regulatory changes in Poland.
