Stablecoin Regulation in 2025: The Year of Acceptance and New Regulations! 📜⚖️
In June 2025, the regulatory landscape for stablecoins is undergoing significant changes, which directly impacts Tether (USDT).
Stablecoin Acceptance: 2025 is being called the "year of stablecoins" by many experts (e.g. Deloitte) as they are increasingly accepted by traditional financial institutions (PayPal, Stripe).
MiCA in the EU: The MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) regulations come into force in the European Union, creating a single regulatory framework that all stablecoins, including USDT, must comply with.
Uncertainty in the US: The debate over comprehensive federal legislation for stablecoins is still ongoing in the US, including reserve requirements and issuer issues (banks vs. non-banks).
Global Approach: Different jurisdictions (Hong Kong, Singapore) are implementing their own licensing regimes, creating a patchwork of regulations.
These changes require Tether to constantly adapt and comply with multiple rules to maintain its global presence.
