Buy USDT Trade Restriction after Sat Dec 28 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0000
The decision to stop executing USDT buy orders has been made in line with our compliance program regarding the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) which enters into force 30 December 2024. At the time of this announcement, the USDT token has not received regulatory approval to be offered in the EU/EEA, which is why we have taken this step to restrict our service offering for USDT.
Please note that all other operations involving USDT will remain unaffected by this change. You and your customers will still be able to deposit USDT, withdraw USDT, and place USDT sell orders (orders to convert USDT into other crypto-assets or EUR) post 27 December 2024. Spending USDT with cards is also unaffected.
The Swap API will return an error code 41001 with the message "Restricted direction" after Sat Dec 28 2024 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Unix Timestamp - 1735344000000) for swap API requests where the destination account currency is USDT.
Minimum Trade Values
Please note that all orders will not go through unless they meet the minimum order size provided by our liquidity partners, which is usually on the order of 20 EUR equivalent.
Minimum trade values are applied on the value of the order, i.e. the amount of currency that is received as the result of a swap.
Minimum order sizes typically are on the range of 10-20 EUR equivalent, following the typical minimums larger exchanges such as Kraken use. Trade minimums are not strictly checked on production and follow the trade minimums of Kraken currently.
The minimum order size goes by base currency. The base currency is the left currency in each pair. For example, BTC is the base currency in the pair BTC/EUR.
The API returns a property order which contains id, credit, debit and price with sub fields respectively. The order.id field is only present when there is a multi-currency transaction, i.e. a swap from one currency to another. In this case, the direction and ticker values are also present. The amountFloat value under credit and debit depict the value in whole currencies (EUR, BTC etc.). The amount value depicts the value in the smallest divisible unit.
