In the evolving regulatory landscape of cryptocurrencies, Ari10 aligns its operations with the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation. MiCA aims to enhance transparency and stability in the digital asset market, particularly for stablecoins. As a result, we have made two key decisions regarding stablecoin availability within the Ari10 ecosystem.
USDC Listing in Ari10 Products!
USDC (USD Coin) is a fully regulated stablecoin issued by Circle, meeting all MiCA requirements. It is fully audited, backed 1:1 by US dollar reserves, and complies with financial regulations in both the US and EU.
As part of our strategic expansion, we have prioritized the listing of USDC on BASE, reflecting the growing importance of this network in the adoption of stablecoins and Web3 liquidity. BASE offers fast and low-cost transactions, making it an attractive network for users transacting with USDC. In the coming days, we plan to extend USDC availability to additional networks based on market demand.
Why USDC Stands Out Among Stablecoins
- Regular audits conducted by independent accounting firms ensure full transparency.
- Each USDC token is fully backed by real USD reserves.
- USDC adoption is increasing compared to USDT, reflecting a shift in market preference.
- USDC is available on multiple blockchains, including BASE, Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Avalanche, and more, giving users greater flexibility in storing and transferring funds.
With BASE compatibility, Ari10 ecosystem users and $ARI token holders can benefit from a more efficient, future-proof stablecoin while expanding the range of supported blockchain networks.
USDC Now Available Across Multiple Networks via Ari10 Gateway
For months, Ari10 Gateway has been fully compatible with USDC (USD Coin), allowing users to seamlessly buy USDC across various blockchain networks with fast and secure transactions.
For the past few months, our infrastructure has supported USDC purchases across the following networks: BASE, Polygon, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and BSC.
With this multi-chain support, users can easily acquire USDC on their preferred network, optimizing transactions based on their current needs and minimizing gas fees. Ari10 Gateway ensures a smooth on-ramp experience for stablecoins, contributing to the growing adoption of digital assets in Web3.
Stablecoin Transition Schedule
To facilitate a smooth transition regarding USDT, we have established the following schedule of changes within the Ari10 product ecosystem. These dates are crucial if you currently hold USDT or plan to buy or sell this cryptocurrency through our services in the near future:
📅 February 24, 2025 – USDT Deposit and Wallet Generation Closure
From this date, it will no longer be possible to generate a deposit address or make new deposits in Tether (USDT) within our ecosystem.
📅 March 23, 2025 – Last Day for USDT Swaps & Withdrawals
Until this date, users can swap USDT for other cryptocurrencies within Ari10 Exchange. Additionally, users may still sell USDT (convert it into PLN, EUR, or USD) or withdraw it to an external wallet.
📅 March 24, 2025 – Automatic 1:1 Conversion from USDT to USDC
From this date onward, USDT will no longer be available within the Ari10 ecosystem. Any remaining USDT balances will be automatically converted to USDC at a 1:1 ratio.
If users prefer to manually swap, sell, or withdraw their USDT, they must do so before March 23, 2025. However, they should also be aware that the final deadline for making new USDT deposits is February 23, 2025
What Should I Do If I Hold USDT?
➡️ Swap USDT for USDC Now – You can already exchange USDT for USDC via the SWAP function in Ari10 Exchange.
➡️ Want to Sell USDT? – You can deposit USDT until February 23, 2025, and sell or withdraw it anytime until March 23, 2025, through Ari10 Exchange or at Ari10 Cryptoterminal locations.
➡️ Automatic Conversion for Convenience – If you hold USDT in your Ari10 Exchange wallet, we will automatically swap it to USDC at a 1:1 rate on March 24, 2025.
Summary
At Ari10, our priority is compliance and user security. The introduction of USDC as a fully regulated stablecoin and the delisting of USDT are strategic decisions aimed at:
✅ Ensuring compliance with MiCA regulations and enhancing fund security.
✅ Providing access to a more transparent and stable stablecoin.
✅ Expanding new opportunities within the Ari10 ecosystem and the BASE network.
We invite all users to start using USDC and explore the BASE blockchain. More network integrations and improvements for USDC transactions are on the way! 🚀
