USDT & USDC Restrictions Incoming
(And EEA users might be next!)
Starting May 16, 2025, Binance users in Poland will face new restrictions on using stablecoins like USDT and USDC in some key products.
Here’s what you need to know
Dear Binance Users,
In line with local regulations, Binance is making updates in Poland. From May 16, you won’t be able to:
❌ Open USDⓈ-Margined Futures positions with USDT/USDC
❌ Subscribe to Dual Investment offers involving stablecoins
❌ Take out stablecoin loans or use them as collateral
❌ Trade on Margin using USDT/USDC
✅ Coin-Margined contracts (like BTC-margined futures) will still be available!
---
So, what does it mean for traders?
1️⃣ New collateral strategies – You’ll need to use cryptos like BTC or ETH
2️⃣ Fewer instruments – Only crypto-margined products remain
3️⃣ More risk – No stablecoins = higher volatility & potential liquidation
---
Will Binance auto-close your positions?
Nope!
You can keep your current positions, but you won’t be able to open new ones with USDT/USDC after May 16.
---
Why is this happening?
This likely ties into the EU’s new crypto laws, especially MiCA, which sets rules for how stablecoins are used and issued. Binance is adapting to stay compliant.
