A Tether anunciou que descontinuaria o suporte ao stablecoin EURT indexado à Europa e não cunharia mais tokens. A plataforma habilitada para blockchain divulgou que a decisão foi tomada devido a mudanças no quadro regulatório de stablecoin no mercado europeu.
A Tether afirmou que a decisão foi motivada pela sua dedicação em promover um ecossistema blockchain inovador e robusto para todos os tokens emitidos pela Tether. Para cumprir este compromisso, a Tether avaliou continuamente a sua oferta de stablecoin EURT para garantir um equilíbrio entre uso e manutenção que priorizasse o interesse da comunidade.

Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, said that the decision to shelf the EURT stablecoin was neither simple nor easy but necessary. He pointed out that stablecoin would be delisted until Europe established a better regulatory framework that protected users from potential banking systemic risks.
Conversely, Tether stated that community interest was at the core of its decision-making process for Tether token deployments.
Ardoino emphasized that Hadron by Tether would be the priority in the Eurozone. He pointed out that Hadron encompassed all the technology and know-how that Tether had built in the last ten years on a single platform.
The CEO added that Hadron by Tether aimed to make asset tokenization more accessible than ever. He further mentioned that Hadron would help open new avenues for issuance, investment, and core capital markets technology for a wider audience ranging from fund managers to governments and private companies.
“Tether’s decision to delist EURt has not been taken lightly, but until a more risk-averse regulatory framework in Europe is in place—one that fosters innovation, offers the stability and protection our users deserve and avoids potential banking systemic risks—we have chosen to prioritize other initiatives.”
– Paolo Ardoino
Tether asked customers holding EURT on all blockchains to redeem their holdings within the year ending November 27th, 2025.
According to Tether, Hadron was designed to support issuers in creating and managing stablecoins by streamlining the issuance process, compliance, and AML tools. They claimed that Hadron would accelerate the tokenization of stocks and bonds.
The Paolo Ardoino-led firm also pointed out the importance of Hadron in the development of loyalty points systems.
According to Tether, blockchain was redefining what was possible in finance by creating tools like Hadron that offered user-centric and adaptable solutions. The statement stressed that Tether’s vision was to empower global communities by equipping them with tools to navigate and thrive in today’s fast-evolving digital economy.
Tether’s investment in Quantoz Payments also leveraged Hadron to launch its Euro-backed and U.S. dollar-backed EURQ and USDQ stablecoins, respectively. The E-Money tokens (EMTs) were designed to be MiCAR-compliant, and they represented a significant milestone in advancing digital asset solutions in European markets, as per Tether’s statement on November 18th.
Tether strategically positioned itself as the leading technology for real-world assets (RWAs), aiming to become the backbone of asset tokenization. As of this publication, Tether has forged a stablecoin ecosystem that was approaching $200B in market capitalization.
