新的柴犬主题代币 VICKY 飙升 22%，因为 Buterin 在首次销售后持有 13%

The crypto market remained on edge on Thursday as some investors booked profits following the recent double-digit gains. Bitcoin (BTC) price was trading at $102,700, while Ethereum (ETH) fell from this week’s high of $2,700 to $2,500. Other top altcoins like Ripple (XRP), Solana (SOL), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) fell by over 4%. Bitcoin Ethereum, crude oil price chart | Source: crypto.news How falling crude oil prices may boost the crypto market A potential catalyst for Bitcoin and other altcoins is the ongoing crash in crude oil prices. Brent, the international benchmark, fell for the second consecutive day, reaching a low of $63. Similarly, West Texas Intermediate declined to $60.20, its lowest level since May 9. Both benchmarks have fallen more than 25% from their highest levels this year. Prices dropped as Donald Trump hinted that his administration was making progress in indirect talks with Iran. A potential agreement would see Iran halt its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief. A likely outcome would be Iran increasing oil exports at a time when global supplies are already rising. At its last meeting, the OPEC+ cartel voted to increase production for the second consecutive month.

In a post on Wednesday, the White House noted that gasoline prices had declined for three consecutive months. Lower inflation would, in turn, give the Federal Reserve room to start cutting interest rates—an outcome that would benefit cryptocurrencies and other risk-on assets. For example, Bitcoin and most altcoins surged in 2020 and 2021 as the Fed aggressively slashed rates. Economic data released this week showed that US inflation ticked lower in April. The headline Consumer Price Index dropped from 2.4% in March to 2.3%, while the core inflation remained at 2.8%. Trade truce to boost crypto and stocks The other macro catalyst for the crypto market is the recent trade truce between the US and China. This truce has led the two countries to lower their tariffs dramatically. The US lowered its levies from 145% to 30%, while China brought its levies from 125% to 10%.  The U.K. also reached a trade agreement with the U.S. last week and is negotiating similar deals with other countries, including the European Union. As a result, analysts now believe that trade and recession risks have subsided. In a note on Wednesday, Goldman Sachs’ David Kostin lowered his recession odds and boosted his S&P 500 forecast to $6,100 from $5,100.  A strong stock market would also benefit cryptocurrencies due to the positive correlation that often exists between the two asset classes.

在人工智能和监控技术兴起的背景下，以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 提倡加强隐私措施，以确保去中心化保持完整。 世界瞬息万变。人工智能的发展速度超出了我们大多数人的承受能力，几乎重塑了我们生活的方方面面。随着人工智能的崛起，一个日益令人担忧的问题：隐私。 When it comes to cryptocurrency, privacy has always been a bit complicated to say the least. It’s something that’s been debated endlessly — sometimes heatedly — and never really resolved. In a recent blog post, Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared his thoughts on why privacy is more important than ever, implying that it’s about preventing the power from getting into the wrong hands. 正如布特林所指出的，人工智能的进步正在走向一个关键点：社会或许真的会谈论人工智能读取人类思想，这将带来深远的影响。他补充道，未来社会可能面临这样一个局面：人们最私密的数据——思想——将被分析并被用来对付他们。 “人工智能正在大幅提升集中式数据收集和分析的能力，同时也极大地扩展了我们自愿共享的数据范围。未来，脑机接口等新技术将带来更多挑战：我们或许真的会谈论人工智能读懂我们的心思。” 维塔利克·布特林 “定义我们时代的挑战” 这不仅仅关乎技术本身。Buterin 强调了地缘政治和权力动态带来的风险。他指出，从支付处理商到电信公司，掌握你个人信息的实体不胜枚举。 “In general, policing all of these entities at a sufficient level of rigor that ensures that they truly have a high level of care for user data is so effort intensive on both the watcher and the watched that it is likely incompatible with maintaining a competitive free market.” Vitalik Buterin To make matters even murkier, governments aren’t always as trustworthy as they might seem. The Ethereum founder points out that a regime that seems stable and respectful of privacy today might not be so tomorrow. In an interview with crypto.news, Ari Redbord, TRM global head of policy, former federal prosecutor and senior U.S. Treasury Official, admited that the balance between privacy and security in crypto has become “one of the defining challenges of our time.” “After 9/11, that debate played out in airports and public spaces — today, it’s happening on blockchains. The goal is to protect the rights of lawful users to transact privately while preventing rogue regimes, scammers, and cartels from exploiting pseudonymity to move illicit funds.” 阿里·雷德博尔 您可能还喜欢：以太坊联合创始人 Vitalik Buterin 提出了简化的第一层隐私路线图 “不是在安全和隐私之间做出选择” 尽管存在风险，但布特林相信目前已经有解决方案。其中之一是零知识证明身份，它可以在不泄露任何个人信息的情况下证明一个人的独特身份。另一个是隐私池，它允许用户在不泄露私人数据的情况下证明他们的资金是干净的。在消费时，用户可以证明他们的货币并非来自已知的黑客攻击或盗窃。布特林补充说，像 Railgun 这样的隐私池已经在使用中。 But that’s not all. The Canadian computer programmer also mentions on-device anti-fraud scanning, which scans incoming messages for scams or misinformation without compromising privacy. When asked whether privacy-focused technology could be misused by cybercriminals, Redboard said the issue isn’t about choosing between privacy or security, but rather about “building with both in mind.” “With tools like blockchain intelligence, zero-knowledge proofs, digital ID, privacy protocols, and smart contracts, we can thread that needle and build a financial system that is both open and safe. In fact, it is not a choice between security and privacy when it comes to blockchains, the technology uniquely allows us to have both.” Ari Redbord Addressing proof of provenance for physical items, Buterin suggests that by using blockchain and zero-knowledge proofs, customers could track a product’s manufacturing history and its environmental impact without revealing its full supply chain, allowing pricing environmental externalities without publicly revealing the supply chain. Buterin thinks that, big picture, the “most pressing risk of near-future technology is that privacy will approach all-time lows, and in a highly imbalanced way where the most powerful individuals and the most powerful nations get lots of data on everyone, and everyone else will see close to nothing.” That’s why, he says, backing privacy for everyone and making the right tools open source, universal, reliable, and safe “is one of the important challenges of our time.” 阅读更多：Vitalik Buterin 回应了对 Pectra 新升级的安全担忧

美国财政部对一名经营暗网毒品交易市场 Nemesis 的伊朗公民实施制裁，并将近 50 个与之相关的加密地址列入黑名单。 美国财政部已对伊朗人 Behrouz Parsarad 采取了行动，他是 Nemesis 的幕后黑手，Nemesis 是一个涉及芬太尼和其他毒品贩运的暗网市场。美国外国资产控制办公室在 3 月 4 日的一份声明中透露，它还批准了与该平台相关的 49 个加密货币地址。 Nemesis 成立于 2021 年，已成为非法毒品销售的一大中心，提供芬太尼和其他物质。根据 OFAC 的数据，Nemesis 拥有超过 30,000 名活跃用户和 1,000 名供应商，并在 2021 年至 2024 年期间促成了价值近 3000 万美元的毒品销往世界各地，包括销往美国，依靠比特币 (BTC) 和门罗币 (XMR) 进行支付。 “在执法部门取缔该程序之前，毒品贩子和网络犯罪分子利用 Nemesis 公开交易非法毒品和服务，而该网站内置有洗钱功能。” 外国资产控制办公室 据区块链分析公司 TRM Labs 称，“Nemesis 和中国毒品前体制造商之间存在明确的链上联系”。据报道，Nemesis 供应商的资金直接流向这些供应商，支持合成阿片类药物的生产。 你可能还喜欢：2023 年中国前体制造商的加密货币存款将激增 600% 2024 年 3 月，美国、德国和立陶宛当局联合行动查获了 Nemesis。官员们没收了约 102,000 美元的加密货币资产。然而，据称 Parsarad 试图通过联系前供应商来恢复该平台，这促使当局采取最新执法行动来遏制非法贸易。 在打击 Nemesis 之前，TRM Labs 也对其他暗网市场采取了类似的执法行动。TRM Labs 指出，暗网市场在 2024 年创造了“超过 17 亿美元的收入”，俄语平台占据主导地位，并通过 BTC 和 TRON (TRX) 等加密货币促成了 97% 以上的非法毒品销售。 虽然西方暗网市场因执法压力而陷入困境，但俄罗斯平台在低风险条件下蓬勃发展。据 TRM Labs 称，俄罗斯暗网生态系统“在 2024 年全年保持稳定，约 20 个市场中只有 4 个停止运营。” Read more:Chainalysis: Iranians ‘flocked’ to crypto as rial collapses and restrictions grow

披露：此处表达的观点和意见仅属于作者，不代表 crypto.news 编辑的观点和意见。 人工智能已经成为加密货币领域最受关注的话题之一，顶级行业特定活动和金融活动以及领先的分析公司都在讨论其在合规、欺诈检测和运营效率方面的影响和潜力。随着监管机构加强审查以及非法行为者变得越来越老练和快速，数字资产企业正在考虑整合人工智能。 You might also like:Regulatory compliance needs smart privacy | Opinion Can AI really help streamline compliance, detect hidden threats, and secure businesses? The reality is more nuanced than simply “plug and play.” AI can’t replace human oversight or responsibility, but it’s a tool that, when implemented thoughtfully, can help maintain the best industry standards. Let’s explore its possibilities. 发现传统方法遗漏的隐藏风险 传统方法擅长捕捉已知模式，但在捕捉新策略或意外策略方面效果不佳。人工智能在这方面脱颖而出，它可以分析大量数据并标记出简单模型可能忽略的异常。 将其用于交易监控和检测非法活动的主要优势在于识别“未知的未知因素”，而传统的基于场景的方法无法检测到这些因素。此外，先进的人工智能工具可以适应新的犯罪技术，让合规团队保持主动而不是被动。 同时，验证数据质量和解决偏见对于获得可靠的结果至关重要。基于人工智能的系统仍然会产生误报，但与基于场景的系统相比，误报的数量通常较低。德勤和大华银行发布的案例研究显示，交易监控中的真阳性增加了 5%，假阳性减少了 40%，运营效率提高了 40%。 节省时间、成本和劳动力 人工智能的实际好处不仅仅是捕捉隐藏的威胁。随着监管要求的复杂性不断增加，许多公司面临着时间和人力成本的上升。基于人工智能的解决方案可以通过自动化原本需要手动且需要更多时间的任务来提供帮助，例如： 确定警报优先级并标记高风险案例。 大型语言模型可以处理初步写作或政策审查，让合规官员能够专注于关键分析。 人工智能让团队从重复的琐事中解脱出来，从而专注于战略决策。尤其是小型加密货币公司可以从中受益。摆脱了笨重的遗留系统，他们可以更快、更灵活地采用尖端工具，以保持与大型企业的竞争力。 Still, staff training is key to helping teams interpret automated findings correctly and make data-based decisions. Enhancing efficiency, but not regulatory collaboration 尽管人工智能可以显著提高日常效率，但它不太可能改变加密货币公司和监管机构的合作方式。合规官仍然需要直接与监管机构对话，以解决政策灰色地带、管理道德困境并确保信任。 人工智能的工作是简化内部工作流程，而不是在高层讨论中取代人类的判断。最终，监管机构希望获得清晰、负责的沟通，而这只有人类才能提供。 利用人工智能获得竞争优势和声誉 传统金融领域的参与者已经开始关注合规性人工智能，而忽视这种方法的加密货币公司则面临落后的风险。虽然仅仅采用人工智能不会直接影响加密货币公司的声誉，但如果没有在明显有利的地方使用它，可能会适得其反。如果发生可预防的欺诈事件或合规性违规行为，声誉损害可能会很严重。因此，我们可以将实施人工智能视为一种竞争优势。 此外，负责任地实施人工智能可以增强营销工作。各公司已经将他们的人工智能驱动工具作为风险管理和用户保护的证据。如果这些措施以透明和合乎道德的方式实施，它们可以增强消费者信心和公司在行业中的地位。 让人类掌控一切 即使人工智能可以承担一部分合规任务，责任也不能委托给算法。具有法律或道德后果的决策需要明显的人为因素。人工智能可以标记可疑交易，但最终如何处理该警报（例如是否冻结账户或关闭账户）的决定权应由合格的专业人员决定。保留控制权还可以保护公司避免过度依赖技术，尽管技术令人印象深刻，但永远无法真正与人类的直觉和责任相匹配。 人工智能有望成为加密合规的重要组成部分。通过将其数据处理能力与人类洞察力和道德判断相结合，公司可以更有效地发现威胁、降低成本并节省时间。关键是在自动化和问责制之间找到适当的平衡。 应该鼓励加密行业探索人工智能所能提供的东西，同时认识到单靠技术无法建立信任。真正的信任需要真正致力于合规、与监管机构进行透明沟通，并注重客户保护。通过将人工智能视为一种有用的工具，而不是人类判断的替代品，该行业可以走向更安全的未来。 阅读更多：Verifiable credentials: The antidote to AI-driven scams | Opinion 尤利娅·穆拉特 尤利娅·穆拉特是 Global Ledger 的监管事务主管，在金融犯罪合规和反洗钱方面拥有丰富的经验。她之前曾在英国金融行为监管局工作，负责评估寻求英国注册的加密货币公司的申请。Yulia 还在金融领域担任过重要职务，包括担任渣打银行代理银行金融犯罪合规区域主管，以及领导标准银行集团伦敦办事处的金融犯罪合规强化尽职调查团队。她拥有丰富的背景，曾担任 WorldFirst 的反洗钱主管和沃尔夫斯堡集团的高级政策顾问等职务。Yulia 的全面专业知识凸显了她致力于加强监管框架和促进金融行业合规的承诺。
