分析师称，比特币的大幅回调可能是“过去的遗留问题”

法国国有投资银行 Bpifrance 宣布计划拨款高达 2500 万欧元（2700 万美元）用于收购鲜为人知的加密货币。 据路透社报道，这些购买将用于支持该国的加密企业。 从历史上看，Bpifrance 已在区块链相关企业投资了 1.5 亿欧元，其中包括对加密货币的适度投资。 然而，这是该银行首次设立专门用于直接购买加密货币的基金。 你可能还喜欢：美国政府查获与哈马斯恐怖主义融资有关的加密货币 法国加密项目 Bpifrance 副首席执行官 Arnaud Caudoux 表示，该银行将专注于收购法国加密项目新发行的代币，然后这些代币才在主要交易所上市。 Caudoux 强调了这一举措的重要性，尤其是在美国加速其加密货币战略之际。他指出，Bpifrance 进入加密货币领域早在最近美国政策转变之前就开始了。 他还建议 Bpifrance 帮助代币项目获得交易所上市资格，从而使它们在全球市场上站稳脚跟。 自美国总统唐纳德·特朗普 11 月赢得大选以来，人们对加密货币的兴趣再次高涨。特朗普表示支持该行业，推行政策改革，甚至推出了自己的加密产品。 相比之下，欧洲财政部长担心美国对加密货币的日益接受可能会威胁欧元区的货币主权和金融稳定。 Caudoux 表示，美国目前的政策正在吸引海外加密货币公司。据路透社报道，他强调了留住欧洲工程人才和公司的重要性，并表示强大的国内生态系统“对未来至关重要”。 你可能还喜欢：ETH 维持在 2000 美元以上，XRP 面临阻力；BlockDAG 在最新的 AMA 更新中推出了 60,000 美元的测试网活动

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of the largest altcoin, Ethereum, proposed a plan to revamp the ETH blockchain. After months of criticism and allegations faced by the Ethereum Foundation, the 31-year-old entrepreneur addressed major concerns regarding the “complexity” of adding new developers to the blockchain platform.  Ethereum (ETH) is home to $59.88 billion in total value of assets locked on its chain. Layer 2 and Layer 3 chains scaling Ethereum tackle the issue of user adop/REtion and scalability for the underlying blockchain, in exchange they derive security from ETH.  Table of ContentsButerin plans to simplify Ethereum blockchainHow Ethereum could battle Bitcoin in five yearsDecentralizing Ethereum furtherEthereum Price ForecastEthereum ETF flows and tokenization gold rush  Buterin plans to simplify Ethereum blockchain Vitalik Buterin acknowledged that the Ethereum blockchain has layers of technical complexity that makes it challenging for developers to get onboarded, maintain or develop projects on the chain.  The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is considered the heart of the ETH blockchain and Buterin believes it can be replaced with a simpler alternative. Buterin’s proposed plan is to simplify the Ethereum blockchain to Bitcoin’s extent, boosting the adoption of the chain and its native token.  In a blog post on May 3, Buterin said that the simplification could reduce the cost of creating new infrastructure on the Ethereum blockchain, lower maintenance costs and boost performance.  You might also like:Bitcoin and Ethereum on alert as $3b worth of options expire on Friday How Ethereum could battle Bitcoin in five years In his proposal, Buterin outlined a roadmap to simplify Ethereum and bring it as close as possible to the Bitcoin blockchain. Explaining how Bitcoin’s technical architecture can be understood by high school students and programmers can write client projects as a hobby on the side, Buterin says ETH can evolve.  In a nutshell, Buterin proposed that the Ethereum development team fix an explicit maximum line of code target for the long-term. The objective is to simplify Ethereum and bring it as close to Bitcoin as possible, in terms of consensus.  Buterin described several rules for code and developers that would make the process easier and likely invite more devs to join in and build on the chain.  While Buterin plans for Ethereum to take on Bitcoin in five years, as of 2025, the ETH/BTC ratio hit its lowest level in over five years. The last time ETH/BTC visited the 0.01766 low was January 2020.  This could be Ethereum’s bottom. Since hitting the low, the ratio has recovered. ETH/BTC trades at 0.02237 at the time of writing.  ETH/BTC weekly price chart | Source: Crypto.news Decentralizing Ethereum further Ethereum’s Merge was slammed as a move away from decentralization, as it shifted the consensus mechanism from Proof-of-Work to Proof-of-Stake. However, Buterin differs from the community’s opinion on this and says simplification of the Ethereum blockchain is akin to decentralizing it further.  The processes of simplification and decentralization are both upstream of the chain of “resilience” and require cultural changes within the project. Buterin acknowledges in his blog that the benefits may be illegible.  Intent on rebuilding Ethereum from the inside out and boosting competition against Bitcoin, Buterin lists the cost of “extra effort” in his blog post.

Ethereum faces next key resistance at R2, $2,745.  Ethereum could find support at the lower boundary of an FVG at $1,850, in the event of a crash.  Key technical indicators, RSI and MACD support further gains in Ethereum. RSI slows upwards and reads 80, MACD flashes green histogram bars above the neutral line.  ETH/USDT daily price chart | Source: Crypto.news Ethereum ETF flows and tokenization gold rush  U.S.-based Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded $16.11 million in outflows on May 8, against Bitcoin’s net inflows. Institutional investors remain wary of pouring capital into altcoins, while Bitcoin benefits from rising stablecoin reserves on exchanges and positive daily net flows to Spot ETFs.  Ethereum ETF flows | Source: SoSo Value  Though Solana competes with Ethereum for dominance across several metrics across decentralized exchanges, ETH remains the first choice for real-world asset tokenization.  A mention of tokenization is incomplete without BlackRock’s BUIDL, a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund built on the Ethereum blockchain. The fund was launched in early 2024 and currently has over $2.5 billion in assets under management.  At the time of writing, Ethereum accounts for 74% of the market for tokenized U.S. Treasuries and represents $6.2 billion. These catalysts contribute to the recent gains in ETH and the likely rally, in the short to medium term, in the altcoin.  Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.

由于对贸易的担忧依然存在，以太坊价格回落并抹去了周四早些时候的部分涨幅。 排名第二的加密货币以太坊（ETH）跌至1,560美元，低于盘中1,700美元的高点。其他顶级山寨币，如Zcash（ZEC）、Tezos（XTZ）和EOS（EOS），也从当日最高价回落。比特币从8.2万美元跌至8万美元。 以太坊和这些山寨币与大盘一起下跌，道琼斯指数和纳斯达克 100 指数分别下跌 950 点和 650 点。 此次撤退的主要驱动力是，人们越来越担心美国可能正走向衰退，即使在唐纳德·特朗普暂停了部分解放日关税之后。 穆迪首席经济学家马克·赞迪在X上的一篇帖子中警告称，美国今年陷入经济衰退的可能性高达60%。他的言论意义重大，因为穆迪是全球第二大评级机构，而赞迪被认为是美国顶尖的经济学家之一。 昨天看到总统在所谓的“互惠”关税问题上改变立场，确实令人鼓舞，但鉴于全球贸易战仍在持续，我对此并不会感到多少安慰。我仍然认为今年经济衰退的可能性为60%。— 马克·赞迪 (@Markzandi) 2025 年 4 月 10 日 赞迪指出，中美之间正在进行的贸易战，两国都在不断提高关税。目前，中国商品进入美国需缴纳125%的关税，而美国对华出口则需缴纳85%的关税。鉴于中美两国是全球最大的贸易伙伴之一，这一问题尤为突出。 他还强调，美国仍对其他国家的商品征收10%的关税，汽车、钢铁和铝等特定行业甚至面临25%的关税。因此，赞迪估计美国实际关税税率为20%，远高于大多数其他国家。 您可能还喜欢：四年的比特币周期结束了吗？ 以太坊价格技术分析 ETH 价格走势图 | 来源：crypto.news 周线图显示，由于经济衰退担忧持续，以太坊仍处于下行趋势。跌势始于 ETH 在 4,065 美元形成三顶形态之后。随后，ETH 跌破关键支撑位 2,125 美元，这是自去年 10 月以来的最低水平。ETH 还跌破了连接 2022 年 6 月以来波动低点的上升趋势线。 相对强弱指数 (RSI) 和 MACD 指标均呈下行趋势，RSI 接近超卖区域。因此，以太坊价格可能会继续下跌，空头瞄准下一个关键心理关口 1,000 美元。 您可能还喜欢：特朗普暂停关税，美股开盘大幅下跌，涨势降温

The UK government has unveiled comprehensive draft legislation aimed at regulating cryptocurrency exchanges, dealers, and agents. Announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves during UK Fintech Week, the proposed rules aim to enhance consumer protection, boost investor confidence, and promote innovation within the growing crypto industry. Under the new framework, crypto firms operating in the UK will be required to adhere to stringent standards on transparency, consumer protection, and operational resilience, aligning them with the regulatory expectations of traditional financial institutions. This move comes in response to the rapid rise in crypto adoption across the UK, where approximately 12% of adults have engaged with cryptocurrencies, up from 4% in 2021. The legislation also extends its reach to overseas firms offering services to UK retail clients, ensuring that any business dealing directly or indirectly with UK consumers secures appropriate authorization from the Financial Conduct Authority. This includes operations such as crypto asset trading platforms, stablecoin issuance, custody services, and staking activities. ​ “This is a massive year for crypto in the UK,” said Keith Grose, head of UK at Coinbase, speaking to CNBC. “The FCA and the Bank of England are rolling out their crypto regulation regime this year … this is the year for the UK to show that it can lead from the front.” You might also like:Space and Time introduces foundation to drive ZK-proven data adoption US and UK cooperation  In a bid to address the global nature of digital assets, the UK is strengthening its international regulatory ties, particularly with the United States. Chancellor Reeves recently met with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in Washington, D.C., where they discussed collaboration on digital asset regulation. The discussions included proposals from U.S. SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce for a transatlantic regulatory sandbox, aimed at allowing firms on both sides of the Atlantic to develop compliant digital securities solutions collaboratively. ​ This transatlantic cooperation is set to continue through the UK–U.S. Financial Regulatory Working Group, with the next meeting scheduled to further explore ways to support the responsible growth of digital assets. The UK government’s proactive approach reflects its commitment to making Britain a global hub for fintech and responsible digital asset innovation.

Grose said there are two major hurdles the UK must overcome to make crypto competitive: de-banking and regulation. “Fifty percent of crypto firms have been denied a bank account in the UK or been offboarded… You can’t build the future of the financial system here if we don’t have that level playing field.” The final crypto legislation is expected to be introduced following industry consultation on the draft provisions, with the government planning to publish its first Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy on July 15. As the UK positions itself at the forefront of digital asset regulation, these developments signify a concerted effort to balance innovation with consumer protection, ensuring that the crypto industry can thrive within a secure and well-regulated environment.
