由於 MiCA 法規，Coinbase 終止了歐盟的 USDC 獎勵計劃

以交易量計算，美國頂級加密貨幣交易所即將結束針對歐洲用戶的 USDC 獎勵計畫。

Major US crypto exchange by trading volume is removing its USDC Rewards program for European users.

按交易量計算的美國主要加密貨幣交易所正在取消針對歐洲用戶的 USDC 獎勵計劃。

According to a screenshot shared by Marina Markezic, Coinbase is informing European Economic Area (EEA) customers that the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MICA) regulation will put an end to USDC staking.

根據 Marina Markezic 分享的螢幕截圖，Coinbase 正在通知歐洲經濟區 (EEA) 客戶，加密資產市場 (MICA) 監管將終止 USDC 質押。

“MICA is kicking in -> Sunsetting USDC Rewards in the EU Due to MiCA.”

“MICA 正在啟動 -> 由於 MiCA，USDC 在歐盟的獎勵將被取消。”

Ripple's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz had this to say about the situation:

Ripple 的技術長 (CTO) David Schwartz 對於這種情況是這樣說的：

“It's funny how often regulations prevent companies from doing things that are unarguably pro-consumer.”

“有趣的是，法規經常阻止公司做毫無爭議的有利於消費者的事情。”

Coinbase announced in October that it would stop supporting stablecoins that didn't follow MiCA.

Coinbase 在 10 月宣布將停止支援不遵循 MiCA 的穩定幣。

“In light of our dedication to compliance, we intend to cease offering services to EEA users in relation to stablecoins that do not meet the MICA criteria by December 30, 2024.”

“鑑於我們致力於合規，我們打算在 2024 年 12 月 30 日之前停止向 EEA 用戶提供與不符合 MICA 標準的穩定幣相關的服務。”

MICA sets out rules for the supervision, consumer protection and environmental safeguards of crypto assets. The legislation includes measures to combat financial crimes such as market manipulation, money laundering and terrorist financing.

MICA 制定了加密資產的監管、消費者保護和環境保護的規則。該法案包括打擊市場操縱、洗錢和恐怖主義融資等金融犯罪的措施。

Stablecoin issuers were also brought under the supervision of the European Banking Authority by MICA, which mandates that they maintain sufficient liquid reserves. The portion of the legislation pertaining to stablecoins went into effect in June, while the remaining provisions are anticipated to take effect in December.

穩定幣發行人也受到 MICA 歐洲銀行管理局的監管，要求他們保持足夠的流動性儲備。有關穩定幣的立法部分於 6 月生效，其餘條款預計於 12 月生效。
