After MiCA comes into full effect in Europe, the trading landscape has truly changed. I haven't really engaged with USDT since the beginning of this year because European exchanges have been gradually delisting it. The chain reaction caused by tighter regulation is so straightforward—choices for stablecoins have shrunk, and everyone is forced to adapt to the new trading environment. The most direct impact of this policy shock is: the trading pairs I used to be accustomed to have disappeared, and asset allocations in my wallet need to be reconsidered. Although the adjustment period is a bit annoying, I can understand to some extent the regulators' original intention to standardize this market.

Europe is really serious this time, with USDT being driven out directly. It’s a bit harsh to say. But think about it, being forced to switch stablecoins isn’t that bad, after all they’re all U tokens. Using USDC or Euro stablecoins isn’t too bad either, right? The most annoying part is losing trading pairs and having to find liquidity again...

Damn, USDT has really disappeared from exchanges. This wave of MiCA regulation is quite intense. The stablecoin options have suddenly dropped from ten to three, feeling like we're being forced to switch ecosystems. Now, trading pairs are all cut off here in Europe. Habitually looking for USDT pairs, but they're gone, which is a bit frustrating. Honestly, adjustments are adjustments, but it has indeed killed some trading flexibility. Now we have to learn to use other stablecoins. Regulation is like this—everyone has to adapt when a one-size-fits-all approach is enforced. Anyway, the coins are still the same coins.

The wave of USDT delisting directly broke the defense; what are European exchanges like now? Once the regulation hits, the choices for stablecoins are now so limited, it's ridiculous. Honestly, after this round of MiCA, the European trading experience feels like it has plummeted. Which stablecoins should I switch to in my wallet? I'm a bit confused. The trading pairs I was used to are gone, I have to readjust, it's really annoying. Actually, although policies are annoying, the goal of regulating the market is not wrong.

USDT is really gone, what should European friends do now? Hmm, no, just switch to a stablecoin and it's all set. There are alternatives after all... By the way, the MiCA regulation has directly reshuffled the market. Regulation is really strict; the entire trading pair disappeared, and I'm just as stunned. Why didn't I adapt earlier? The problem is that the crypto world changes policies every day, and I just can't keep up! Actually, being forced to adjust isn't so bad; after all, we have to integrate eventually.
