Gate News message, April 21 — Thirty-nine digital finance providers, including major exchanges and fintech associations from six European nations, are urging the European Commission and European Parliament to expedite a review of the DLT pilot regime as standalone legislation.
The signatories, which include Boerse Stuttgart Group, a major exchange, and fintech associations from France, Spain, Italy, Hungary, and Poland, are requesting that the DLT pilot regime be carved out from the EU’s Market Integration and Supervision Package (a comprehensive regulatory framework for financial markets and digital assets).
The move reflects concerns that Europe risks falling behind the United States in digital finance competitiveness if regulatory clarity on distributed ledger technology is delayed.

Arbitrum froze 30,766 ETH from the KelpDAO hack, worked with law enforcement, and recovered about a quarter of assets, while locking funds pending governance amid decentralization versus security debates.
Abstract: This article reports that the Arbitrum Security Council froze 30,766 ETH (about $70 million) tied to the KelpDAO exploit, with nine of twelve votes, and moved funds to a secure wallet in coordination with law enforcement. The operation targeted only affected assets to minimize network disruption. The exploiter is suspected to be DPRK-associated. The breach began April 18 via a LayerZero-powered bridge, draining 116,500 rsETH (~$292 million). About a quarter of stolen assets have been recovered. The frozen funds will remain locked until governance and legal authorities decide the next steps, prompting debate over decentralization versus security.
