A strategic choice that could redefine the future of stablecoins and the entire crypto market in the United States.

This text imposes strict criteria on stablecoin issuers and limits their circulation in Europe. Such a decision illustrates a major shift for the European crypto market.

This transition could reduce the accessibility of the most popular stablecoins, but also redistribute the cards among market players.

While these performances confirm Tether's financial strength, they also raise questions about its macroeconomic impact and the regulatory challenges ahead.
