The stablecoin market has just crossed a historic threshold, reaching a total capitalization of over $200 billion. This growth is largely dominated by Tether's USDT, which accounts for $142.9 billion in circulating assets.
The growing dominance of the stablecoin Tether in the crypto market could signal a significant correction for Bitcoin, according to a well-known expert on TradingView. This analysis comes as BTC struggles to maintain its upward momentum after its recent all-time high of $108,365.
The European Union stands on the brink of a historic change with the impending implementation of the MiCA regulation (Markets in Crypto-Assets), aimed at regulating cryptocurrencies and enhancing transparency in the market. Among the many implications of this regulation, the fate of the USDT stablecoin, issued by Tether, raises significant questions. This token, which holds a central position in crypto transactions worldwide, could be banned or restricted in Europe if authorities deem it does not meet MiCA's requirements. However, as the deadline of December 30, 2024 approaches, no clear directive has been communicated. This situation has led to varied responses among major exchange platforms. For instance, Coinbase has taken the lead by removing USDT from its European services and opts for a conservative approach in the face of regulatory uncertainties. Conversely, major players like Binance and Crypto.com keep the stablecoin accessible, as they bet on future clarifications. This climate of ambiguity reflects the scale of the challenges posed by implementing MiCA and highlights the need for a harmonized framework to avoid disrupting a rapidly growing sector.

The European Union is about to take a major step in regulating cryptocurrencies with the imminent entry into force of the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) rules. This initiative, praised by some as a step towards better transparency and an increased fight against financial abuses, however, triggers intense concerns among industry players. Indeed, the regulation requires the removal of USDT, the most widely used stablecoin in the world, from regulated platforms within the EU. Such a decision could disrupt the balance of European markets and call into question their attractiveness on the global stage.
