Crypto Exchange Kraken Considering Launching Stablecoin
According to Bloomberg, sources revealed that Kraken is exploring the development of its own stablecoin. This move is partly due to competitive gaps created by new European regulations requiring crypto service providers to delist Tether's USDT and other unlicensed tokens. The source indicated that the token will be pegged to the U.S. dollar and issued by Kraken's Irish division.
The Exchange Announced This Month, that starting March 31, all non-compliant tokens held on Kraken's European platform will be converted to "equivalent stablecoins." If all goes well, this token will not be Kraken's first foray into the digital dollar space. At the end of last year, the exchange joined an alliance called the Global Dollar Network, which partnered with Paxos to launch a stablecoin named USDG. Other members, such as Robinhood and Galaxy Digital, are also developing their own stablecoins.
Meanwhile, Crypto.com announced its stablecoin plans in its 2025 roadmap last November, aiming to launch in the third quarter. Additionally, another source indicated that the exchange plans to launch the token in Europe and informed customers last month that Tether would exit trading in the region by the end of March.

Bybit CEO: PI Project is a Scam, Bybit Will Not List Any Suspected Scam Projects
Bybit CEO Ben Zhou tweeted that in 2023, Chinese police issued an official warning about PI, alerting the public that it is a scam targeting the elderly, which could leak personal data and lead to the loss of pensions. There are also multiple other reports questioning the legitimacy of the project. Bybit has not submitted any listing requests for PI and claims that the assertion that PI rejected Bybit's listing or that Bybit did not pass some form of PI KYB is completely absurd. If the PI project is genuinely legitimate, it should proactively respond to these doubts, but instead, it chooses to fabricate lies and engage in baseless childish attacks. Personally, I still believe PI is a scam, and Bybit will not list any suspected scam projects.
