Binance, a well-known cryptocurrency exchange, has recently made an announcement regarding stablecoins. According to the platform, the new MiCA regulations will impose restrictions on certain stablecoins as the exchange aims to fully comply with the laws. Through its official X account, the company revealed the impact of the exclusive MiCA regulations and Binance’s approach in response.
Under the upcoming MiCA rules, some stablecoins will face restrictions as unauthorized stablecoins.

Binance is cautioning against the potential restrictions on certain stablecoins under the MiCA rules. In addition to this, the platform shared a blog post on its official website, stating that the MiCA Stablecoin regulations will be implemented on June 30th of this year. Following this, the entire EEA will be subject to the regulations, which will serve as the first step in the unique regulatory agenda.
The crypto exchange explained that this will have a significant impact on the stablecoin sector within the EEA jurisdiction. According to Binance, the stablecoin regulation in the EEA will only allow specific regulated entities to offer and issue stablecoins. These regulated stablecoins will fall under the category of “regulated stablecoins,” while many existing stablecoins may not meet the criteria and fall outside this category.
As a result, these excluded stablecoins may face certain restrictions and will be categorized as “unauthorized stablecoins” under MiCA. Binance will gradually limit the availability of such stablecoins, aiming to encourage EEA consumers to transition to regulated stablecoins. This will help them avoid market disruptions and ensure compliance with the stablecoin rules under MiCA.
The crypto exchange emphasizes its commitment to protecting users while complying with regulations. In light of this, Binance will restrict the availability of unauthorized stablecoins for EEA consumers. Specifically, the company will take action on its Binance wallet, Spot Trading, and Binance Convert. EEA-based banks and EMIs will have certain permissions under these unique rules, allowing them to mint and issue stablecoins, promote stablecoin purchases, and request trading entities to list the stablecoins. Binance assures that it will comply with all regulatory requirements while ensuring consumer protection.
