The EU's MiCA regulation has imposed strict restrictions on Tether's USDT stablecoin within Europe, leading platforms like Revolut to delist USDT for EEA users starting July 2026, reshaping the European stablecoin market while global demand for USDT remains strong.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

MiCA's restrictions have shut off EU access to USDT, forcing fintech platforms to replace it or lose European users. You must update your stablecoin arrangments now or risk losing market share in one of the world's biggest financial regions.
