Major exchange Crypto.com has announced it will remove Tether (USDT) and 9 other tokens from its platform starting January 31, 2025, to comply with the new regulations of the European Union (MiCA). Users have until the end of the first quarter of 2025 to convert their assets to tokens compliant with MiCA regulations.
