OKX Europe has launched a new service allowing customers in 30 EU and EEA countries to deposit Tether's USDT and convert it voluntarily into Circle-issued USDC, which complies with the EU's MiCA regulation. This move comes as many European platforms reduce support for USDT due to Tether's refusal to seek MiCA approval, which requires reserve holdings in European banks. OKX's feature offers an 8% deposit bonus and gives users control over the timing of conversion, addressing the needs of those affected by MiCA restrictions and Binance's European exit. The service supports only one-way conversion from USDT to USDC, reflecting the growing shift toward MiCA-compliant stablecoins in Europe.
