Revolut will stop USDT purchases for eligible European Union users from July 6 as it adjusts its crypto offering to MiCA-related compliance changes. The move is being implemented as a staged wind-down rather than an immediate removal of all user access.
Affected customers will reportedly be required to sell or withdraw their USDT holdings by August 31. Any remaining balance after the deadline is expected to be converted into the user’s home currency, though the exact handling may depend on the customer notice referenced in the available reporting.

Staged Wind-Down Gives Users Limited Time to Adjust
Based on the reported timeline, users in affected markets can continue buying USDT until July 6. After that cutoff, they will still be able to sell the token or transfer holdings to supported external wallets until the end of August.
After August 31, USDT will no longer be supported in the eligible Revolut accounts covered by the notice. The reports also indicate that the policy does not apply to regions where USDT remains supported.
The change matters because Revolut is a major retail access point for stablecoins in Europe. Removing USDT from eligible accounts reduces one of the most familiar stablecoin options for users who rely on the token for trading, transfers or temporary dollar-denominated exposure.
MiCA Compliance Reshapes Stablecoin Access
The decision reflects the growing impact of MiCA-related compliance requirements on crypto platforms operating in the European Union. As regulatory expectations tighten around stablecoins, retail platforms are reassessing which tokens they can continue to support.
The immediate user impact will depend on how much USDT is held inside affected Revolut accounts. That figure has not been disclosed, leaving the scale of the transition unclear.
It also remains uncertain whether users will shift activity toward other compliant stablecoins or alternative trading venues. The available reporting does not provide data on expected migration flows, affected user counts or platform-level USDT balances.
For now, Revolut’s reported USDT wind-down marks another compliance-driven adjustment in Europe’s stablecoin market. The key open questions are how affected users respond before the August 31 deadline and whether other retail platforms adopt similar restrictions under MiCA-aligned policies.
