Revolut to Delist Tether USDT in Europe by August 2026

Key Facts

In a move reflecting the growing compliance with strict regulatory standards in Europe, digital bank Revolut announced its plan to end support for the Tether (USDT) stablecoin. According to reports, the bank informed its European users of its intention to cease all operations related to this asset on its platform. The complete suspension of USDT support is officially scheduled to take effect on August 31, 2026.

This decision is driven by the significant regulatory shift in Europe following the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, which imposes strict licensing requirements on stablecoin issuers. Tether faces increasing pressure from European regulators, as other platforms like OKX and Uphold have already begun restricting access to USDT for European users earlier this year to ensure alignment with MiCA legislation. Per market data, while USDT remains dominant globally, the lack of full licensing under the new rules is prompting digital banks to take precautionary measures.
