Ethena Labs has partnered with Plasma to launch USDe rewards on the Plasma mainnet test version.

Ethena Labs has officially pulled out of Germany and is no longer seeking MiCAR licensing. This exit comes weeks after shifting stablecoin operations to its offshore entity in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Ethena’s move is a sign of growing industry discomfort around Europe’s strict regulations. The issuer behind the USDe stablecoin had reached an agreement with BaFin, the country’s financial regulator to shut down its German subsidiary, Ethena GmbH. In a recent post on X, Ethena revealed that since March 21, no minting or redemption of USDe took place through its German entity. Instead, Ethena (BVI) Limited has assumed full operational control, processing all activity without disruption.

While Ethena offered no specific reason, market observers point to MiCAR’s strict compliance demands as a key deterrent for firms that prioritize speed, flexibility, and privacy. Ethena’s exit aligns with a broader trend of crypto firms reassessing their European strategy as MiCAR enforcement nears. The difficulty in meeting MiCAR’s requirements was also highlighted by Circle executive Patrick Hansen, citing ESMA figures as of April 14, reported only 11 stablecoin issuers and 15 crypto-asset service providers (CASPs) had received MiCA licenses across the entire European Economic Area (EEA).

In more signs of increasing enforcement, Italy’s financial authority, CONSOB, was also seen adding 15 names to its list of non-compliant entities, under the new framework.

SECOND-ORDER EFFECTS Most traders react to what just happened. But real edge lives in what comes next, the chain reactions set in motion behind the scenes. Second-order effects aren’t obvious. They ripple through systems, hidden in investor behaviour, protocol dependencies, and reflexive market responses. They show up in the asset no one is watching, the one absorbing downstream stress. The question isn’t just: “What does this mean?” It’s: “What else does this touch?” Some examples: • $RAY catching pressure after the PumpFun DEX launch • $ENA being exposed if Bybit goes down (via USDe risk) • Hyperliquid launching on Solana? That’s bearish for $DRIFT You want an edge? Think in layers. Insights by @LuckyXBT__.
