Important
Kraken and Binance will delist USDT and other stablecoins for EEA users to comply with MiCA regulations. If you trade with USDT, TUSD, or DAI, here's how to protect your bots and funds on 3Commas.
HTX & Bybit have no current plans to remove USDT at this time.
Key Dates for Stablecoin Delisting
Kraken: Spot trading for USDT, TUSD, DAI ends March 24, 2025
Binance: Non-MiCA stablecoins will be fully delisted by March 31, 2025
After these dates, affected stablecoins may be converted to USDC or EURI (check exchange policies).
Why Are Coins Being Delisted?
Exchanges must comply with MiCA regulations, which impose restrictions on certain stablecoins that are not approved for use in the EEA. As a result, some exchanges will:
Disable deposits and trading of affected stablecoins.
Convert remaining balances to a MiCA-compliant stablecoin (e.g., USDC, EURI) after the deadline.
Require users to switch to MiCA-approved stablecoins to continue trading.
Impacted Assets:
For Binance: USDT, FDUSD, TUSD, USDP, DAI, AEUR, UST, USTC, PAXG
For Kraken: PYUSD, UST, EURT, USDT, TUSD

How Does This Affect My Trading on 3Commas?
1. Impact on Existing Bots and Active Trades
If you are running a DCA, Grid, or Signal Bot that uses a delisted stablecoin as its quote currency (e.g., USDT pairs), these bots will stop working once the stablecoin is removed from the exchange.
What You Can Do:
Manually close existing deals before the delisting deadline.
Switch your bots to a MiCA-compliant stablecoin (e.g., USDC or EURI) to ensure continued trading.
Reconfigure your bots with new trading pairs that use compliant stablecoins.
2. How to Update Your 3Commas Bot Settings
To prevent disruptions in your automated trading:
For DCA Bots:
Pause or stop the bot trading a delisted pair.
Edit the bot or create a new bot using a supported stablecoin (e.g., USDC) as the quote currency.
For Grid Bots:
Stop the Grid bot that's trading a delisted pair. This will close open orders for the delisted pair.
Create a new bot using a supported stablecoin as the quote currency.
For Signal Bots:
Check if your TradingView signal is using an affected pair.
Modify the signal settings to trade on a supported pair.
Edit the bot or create a new bot using a supported stablecoin (e.g., USDC) as the quote currency.
3. How to Avoid Trading Delisted Pairs in the Future
To prevent your bots from using restricted stablecoins, you can:
Manually review trading pairs before starting a new bot.
Stay updated on exchange announcements regarding future delistings.

What If You Don’t Take Action?
If you do not switch from delisted stablecoins before the deadline:
Your bots will stop trading once the stablecoin pair is removed.
Open trades may be forcibly closed by the exchange.
Your funds may be automatically converted to a different stablecoin (e.g., USDT → USDC) based on exchange policies.
📌 Check your exchange’s rules to see how they will handle conversions after the deadline.
Next Steps: What Should You Do Now?
Review the exchange announcements to check if your trading pairs are affected.
Manually close any trades using delisted stablecoins.
Recreate bots using MiCA-compliant stablecoins (e.g., USDC, EURI).
Monitor updates from Kraken, Binance, and other exchanges for future changes.
