推荐理由:The Bill brings operational resilience, incident reporting, and energy efficiency requirements for data centres and cloud services into a licensing framework, enabling payment institutions to assess the compliance and continuity impacts of underlying infrastructure.

Individuals holding USDT are not directly prohibited, but EU service providers regulated under MiCA must stop providing relevant access, while they may continue to offer exit services such as liquidation, conversion, withdrawals, transfers and custody.
