OKX Delists Tether’s USDT for EU Users Amid Regulatory Concerns

 

OKX has discontinued support for cryptocurrency trading pairs involving Tether’s USDT stablecoin for users based in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). 

Starting Monday, OKX’s platform restricted spot crypto trading to only USDC and euro pairs, while USDT could only be traded against USDC and euro, according to a report from Bloomberg. 

The change was initially reported by a trader on X, who shared a customer support note citing regulatory compliance and platform security as the reasons for the adjustment.
