Kraken is considering removing support for Tether (USDT) in the EU due to upcoming regulations.
πͺπΊ The EU's new MiCA rules, effective from July, will restrict stablecoins like USDT, which are crucial for traders to move assets and avoid volatility.
π Tether expects exchanges to focus on EUR liquidity for EU customers. OKX has already limited USDT trading in the EU but allows deposits, withdrawals, OTC transactions, and EUR exchanges.
π Kraken's decision will depend on the finalized guidelines from the European Banking Authority. Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, has expressed concerns about MiCA and will continue discussions with regulators.

π At the same time, Khan doubted the possibility of a swift approval for an Ethereum-ETF with a staking function.

βοΈThe analyst estimated the likelihood of approval for spot Ethereum-ETFs by the end of May at 30-40%.

Vitalik Buterin addressed three big issues risking Ethereum's decentralization: MEV, liquid staking, and node costs.
π’ He backed Peter SzilΓ‘gyi's concerns and highlighted two MEV strategies: "minimization" (e.g., CowSwap) and "quarantine," noting the latter may centralize risks.
π Buterin noted individual staking is unpopular due to high entry costs (32 ETH) and hefty hardware demands (4 TB). He suggested lowering deposit sizes and withdrawal times to make staking more accessible.
βοΈ To ease node requirements, he advocated for Verkle trees and EIP-4444. In his opinion, future progress might come from ZK-EVM, eliminating computations with proofs only.
