Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao Unveils New Plans For Compliant Stablecoins In EU
Key Points:
MiCA, the EU’s forthcoming cryptocurrency regulation, is set to establish a comprehensive framework for stablecoins within the European market. Contrary to earlier reports suggesting MiCA would take effect in June 2024, it is now confirmed that these regulations will be enforced by June 2023.
According to a CoinDesk report, during an online public hearing hosted by the European Banking Authority (EBA), Marina Parthuisot, Head of Legal Affairs at Binance France, expressed concerns about the potential delisting of stablecoins in Europe by June 30. Elizabeth Noble, Head of the EBA MiCA team, confirmed that there would be no transitional arrangements for these tokens, and the rules would apply immediately.
CZ responded to these developments, stating that Binance has partnered with various entities to launch compliant stablecoins, emphasizing their commitment to regulatory compliance.
The cryptocurrency exchange has faced increased scrutiny in Europe, resulting in the partial suspension of fiat withdrawals and euro withdrawals for some European Union users due to its severed partnership with Paysafe.
In light of these challenges, Binance has been gradually withdrawing from several European countries as it prepares to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape ushered in by MiCA in 2023.
