RE: What's new in 2025: New controversial EU MiCA regulation will come into force: self-hosted wallets need to be "verified", KYC-ed in the EU. Tether and other stablecoins like HBD are going to be banned in the EU. Financial freedom looks different.

To be honest, I don't think their intentions will succeed, mainly because it goes against the essence of cryptocurrencies: "being anonymous", so anything that involves KYC is not going to succeed, on the contrary, just mentioning this , makes the trend further strengthen anonymity. It has remained this way for years, and will remain so.
