## Resource

Tether's USDT has been delisted by major crypto exchanges (including Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and Crypto.com) specifically for users in the European Economic Area. This occurred because Tether chose not to pursue registration under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. Meanwhile, WalletConnect is empowering the stablecoin ecosystem for millions of merchant around the world. ~This episode is sponsored by Tangem~Tangem ➜ https://bit.ly/TangemPBNUse Code: "PBN" for Additional Discounts!
