What else is known? The notice informs about the need to withdraw or convert funds until January 31, 2023. After that date, all transactions with stablecoin will be suspended. Open orders will be canceled and user balances in USDT will be forcibly converted to the USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin from the Circle issuer.
According to Decrypt, the exclusion of USDT from the list of supported assets is due to the need to comply with Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) instructions as part of the platform’s obligations to pre-register for a limited dealer license.
