Big changes are coming for Binance users in Poland—and potentially for other EEA countries soon. Starting May 16, 2025, Polish users will face restrictions on using USDT and USDC for several trading products. This is part of Binance’s compliance with evolving EU regulations, especially under the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) framework.
Here’s what’s changing:
From May 16, 2025, Polish users will no longer be able to:
Open new USDⓈ-Margined Futures positions using $USDC or USDT
Subscribe to Dual Investment products involving stablecoins
Use USDT/USDC as collateral for crypto loans
Trade on Margin using USDT or USDC
However, Coin-Margined contracts like BTC-Margined products will still be available.
What does this mean for traders?
1. Collateral strategy shift – Users will need to rely more on volatile assets like BTC or ETH for margin or loans.
2. Fewer trading options – With stablecoins out, traders lose access to certain derivatives and investment products.
3. Higher risk – Without stablecoins, traders are more exposed to crypto market volatility, which can increase liquidation risks.
Will Binance close current positions?
No. Binance has confirmed that existing positions won’t be forcibly closed. You just won’t be able to open new ones using USDT or USDC after the deadline.
Why is this happening?
Binance is aligning its services with local and EU-wide regulations. The MiCA regulation classifies and tightly governs the use of stablecoins across the European Economic Area (EEA), aiming to bring more clarity and control to the crypto space.
