加密货币安全漏洞下降近 40%，但热钱包漏洞仍然存在

根据 Gemini 的 2024 年加密货币状况报告，超过一半的 Z 世代成年人目前拥有或曾经拥有加密货币。 该调查在五个国家进行并与 crypto.news 分享，调查结果显示，与老一代相比，年轻投资者更积极地参与数字资产。 研究结果表明，Z 世代对数字资产的态度可能会影响投资和监管的未来。 该报告于 2024 年 5 月至 7 月期间对美国、英国、法国、新加坡和土耳其的 6,000 名成年人进行了调查。在 Z 世代受访者（年龄 18-29 岁）中，51% 的人表示他们目前拥有或曾经拥有加密货币。相比之下，根据 Gemini 的数据，普通人群的比例为 35%。 英国的持有率最高，53% 的 Z 世代受访者表示持有加密货币，而普通民众的这一比例为 32%。 在新加坡，Z 世代的这一比例为 50%，所有年龄段的这一比例为 42%。在法国，Z 世代的这一比例为 47%，总体为 31%。 加密货币所有权意味着购买、持有或交易比特币（BTC）和以太坊（ETH）等数字资产。许多投资者将这些资产视为股票或债券等传统投资的替代品。 你可能还喜欢：哈萨克斯坦总统呼吁紧急扩大加密基础设施 Z 世代对监管的看法 调查还调查了 Z 世代如何看待加密货币监管。虽然 46% 的普通民众表示强烈支持加强政府监管，但只有 31% 的 Z 世代受访者持相同观点。 这表明年轻的投资者可能对当前的监管水平更满意或相信行业能够自我监管。 监管可以保证市场稳定，并保护投资者免受欺诈。 BCH Miner 提供免费挖矿合同以增加被动收入 Z世代的ETF兴趣  交易所交易基金的兴起使得加密货币更加容易获得。ETF 允许投资者无需直接持有资产即可接触加密货币。 例如，投资者可以购买跟踪加密货币价格的比特币 ETF 股票，而不是购买比特币。 调查发现，48% 的 Z 世代受访者更有可能因为 ETF 而投资加密货币。在所有年龄段中，这一数字为 37%。

Dragonchain’s DRGN rallied over 97% after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it plans to dismiss its long-running lawsuit against the project over alleged unregistered securities sales. According to a joint filing on April 24, the SEC and Dragonchain have agreed the case should be dismissed with prejudice, meaning it can’t be refiled. The SEC cited the work of its newly established Crypto Task Force and said dropping the suit was the appropriate step. The lawsuit, originally filed in August 2022, accused Dragonchain, its foundation, and founder Joseph Roets of raising $16.5 million through an unregistered token sale.  The commission’s case centred on a 2017 presale and ICO that raised $14 million through DRGN tokens, with an additional $2.5 million sold between 2019 and 2022 to fund business operations and tech development. At the time, the regulator argued DRGN qualified as an investment contract and should have been registered under securities laws.  You might also like:SEC Slammed Charges on Dragonchain Over $16.5 Million ICO Offerings The case, however, was paused in October 2024 after Dragonchain submitted a settlement offer and was later extended in January, following a major executive order from President Trump that called for the U.S. to take a leading role in digital assets. The order prompted a broader reassessment of how cryptocurrency is regulated in the U.S., and the SEC cited this shift in approach when deciding to withdraw from the Dragonchain lawsuit. In fact, the SEC’s newly formed Crypto Task Force, established the day after Trump returned to office, met with Dragonchain representatives on March 24. According to an internal agency memo, the discussion centred on how the SEC should approach crypto regulation, with a focus on blockchain’s non-financial applications. Dragonchain’s team, led by founder Joe Roets, argued that blockchain should be seen as foundational software, used for transparency, identity management, and automation, rather than purely as a financial instrument. For Dragonchain, the turnaround marked a sharp reversal for DRGN, which has been in a downtrend since 2021. As of press time, DRGN is still down heavily from its 2018 peak, but the token formed two God candles after the news broke, shooting up nearly 100% in the past 24 hours.

It pulled out of long-running lawsuits against Coinbase, Ripple, and Gemini, cases that once defined the agency’s hardline stance on digital assets under former chair Gary Gensler. As previously reported by crypto.news, it recently dropped its fraud case against HEX founder Richard Heart, after a federal judge tossed the complaint and the SEC chose not to amend it.

Trump Media & Technology Group is exploring the addition of a utility token and digital wallet for its streaming platform, Truth+, that would allow users to pay for subscriptions. According to a letter addressed to shareholders, CEO and Chairman of Trump Media Devin Nunes declared the platform is considering a number of crypto-related innovations for users within what the firm deems as a ‘Truth ecosphere.’ Among those proposed features, the company is considering the addition of a rewards program involving its own utility token for its streaming service, Truth+. The concept of a Truth+ digital wallet and token aligns with the company’s future plan to monetize Truth+ through advertising and a subscription package that offers users premium content. “We’re exploring the introduction of a utility token within a Truth digital wallet that can initially be used to pay for Truth+ subscription costs, and later be applied to other products and services in the Truth ecosphere,” wrote Nunes. If implemented, users would be able to use the Truth utility token to pay for various other products and services linked to Trump Media, potentially including the company’s social media platform Truth Social and its financial technology and financial services branch Truth.Fi.

The letter stated that the Truth.Fi’s ETFs would offer both cryptocurrencies and traditional equities. As previously reported by crypto.news, Truth.Fi has established a partnership with Crypto.com and asset manager Yorkville America Digital to launch its own customizable crypto-backed ETFs. To bring these proposed plans into reality, Trump Media is prepared to invest as much as $250 million of the company’s cash reserves, Bitcoin (BTC) investments and other cryptocurrencies or crypto-related securities, with custody provided by Charles Schwab. Trump Media and Technology Group became a publicly traded company in March 2024 and once reached a valuation nearing $8 billion. At press time, the company’s market cap currently stands at more than $5.5 billion. Since taking office, President Donald Trump has adopted a much more crypto-friendly approach compared to the Biden administration. So far, the Trump administration has issued an executive order to create a strategic Bitcoin reserve, pushed for stablecoin legislations and dissolved the National Cryptocurrency Enforcement Unit through the U.S. Department of Justice. Most recently, the team behind the official Trump (TRUMP) meme coins announced that it will be holding an exclusive dinner with the president for the top 220 holders of the presidential meme coin. Tron founder Justin Sun has already registered, placing his wallet in the top spot. Read more:Justin Sun tops list of TRUMP holders for exclusive VIP dinner with 1.17m tokens

Strategy added 1,895 Bitcoin using stock sale proceeds, while Semler Scientific boosted its holdings to 3,634 BTC, highlighting rising corporate adoption. Michael Saylor’s Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, acquired an additional 1,895 Bitcoin (BTC) last week, spending roughly $180.3 million between April 28 and May 4, according to a filing with the SEC on Monday.  The average purchase price was $95,167 per Bitcoin. The company funded the purchase by selling 353,825 shares of its MSTR common stock and 575,392 shares of STRK preferred stock. The equity sale was part of Strategy’s ongoing capital-raising programs aimed at increasing its bitcoin reserves.  With this transaction, the company has now exhausted the MSTR portion of its “21/21 Plan,” a campaign launched to raise $42 billion for bitcoin purchases. The STRK component still has $20.87 billion in remaining capacity. In response, Strategy has initiated a new “42/42 Plan,” which aims to raise another $42 billion through a combination of equity and debt offerings over the next two years. The firm continues to issue both STRK and STRF perpetual preferred shares to support additional bitcoin acquisitions. Strategy now holds a total of 555,450 BTC, acquired at an aggregate cost of $38.08 billion. With bitcoin trading around $94,000, the company’s holdings are currently valued at over $52 billion — representing an unrealized gain of approximately $14.2 billion.  That stash accounts for over 2.6% of bitcoin’s total circulating supply.

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。 数字资产正在成为主流。您还能如何描述由与 70 多岁的美国总统相关的项目发行、开发和公开支持的资产类别？尽管如此，以太坊 (ETH) 的价格仍低于预期。这种情绪反映在社交媒体上。 你可能还喜欢：以太坊悖论：大到不能倒，还是发展太慢而无足轻重？| 观点 关于为什么会出现这种情况，有很多理论，从对冲基金的做空到缺乏北极星，再到像 Solana 这样的竞争区块链的崛起。以上所有说法都有一定道理。然而，我将重点关注更有趣的事情：以太坊的未来以及我为什么仍然非常乐观。 较新的替代方案 一个很好的起点是研究更新、更快的平台，Solana (SOL) 经常被提及；然而，它的创世区块可以追溯到 2020 年，而 5 年在这个行业中是很长的时间。甚至还有更新、更快的区块链——包括 Sui、Aptos、Monad 和 Fogo——未来还会有更多。 技术是一种推动因素，但仅凭技术并不能决定成功（还记得 Betamax 吗？）。从软件的角度来看，成功的可能性甚至更小，因为新想法可以集成到现有产品中。专注于以太坊，当它推出时，它是一个类似于比特币 (BTC) 的工作量证明区块链，但此后经历了许多重大升级（零停机时间），包括转向权益证明。这些升级将在未来五年内继续进行，改进性能、可用性和开发人员体验等领域。下一次升级是 Pectra，它将提供更大的交易能力并改进以太坊权益证明功能。 许多变化都是新的，反映了以前路线图的变化。以太坊生态系统很幸运拥有大量分布式系统和密码学等领域的专家研究人员。虽然有时被指责在“象牙塔”中运作，但他们始终如一地对以太坊应该采取的方向进行了深入思考，这往往会导致方向的改变。快速行动并打破常规可能在某些环境中有效，但对于价值数十亿美元的计算平台来说可能行不通。这里的一个关键例子是从一种称为分片的扩展技术转变为我们现在的以第 2 层为中心的路线图。 主要区别 L2 将成为以太坊的一个关键差异化因素，即使实现这一目标的道路似乎很长。它们使不同的团队能够使用不同的技术构建自己的扩展解决方案，所有这些都与核心以太坊协议相关联。如果您认为 Solana 做出了所有正确的设计决策，那么 Eclipse 就是将 Solana 技术插入以太坊的 L2。同样，如果您想要 Meta 的 Move 编程语言，您可以在诸如 Movement 之类的 L2 上构建。 L2 开启了新的编程语言，并可以针对不同的特性进行优化，无论是速度、隐私、去中心化、与公司（如索尼）的一致性，还是其他完全不同的东西。这意味着以太坊的开发者和用户可以决定什么是重要的，并使用相应的 L2，同时仍然可以从以太坊上构建的流动性、安全性和现有应用程序中受益。 虽然我们已经拥有大量的 L2，但仍在进行开发以提高它们之间的互操作性，目标是实现资产的无摩擦转移和应用程序的可组合性。为此，有许多技术标准（以太坊改进提案和 Rollup 改进提案）旨在短期和长期改善用户体验。 那么，L2 路线图是否合理？这个数字（超过 140 个 L2）表明，很多人（和工程投资）都认为它合理！此外，虽然“锁定总价值”指标有很多特点和缺陷，但它表明 L2 正在实现产品市场契合，持有 420 亿美元的资产。这接近以太坊上发行的 1660 亿美元代币，远远超过其他链上发行的代币（不包括协议自己的代币）。 虽然 L2 会带来很多改进，但使用以太坊本身的速度会随着协议主导的改进而变得更快，而且还有“交易预确认”等基础设施，为用户提供亚秒级的交易确认，可与最快的替代区块链相媲美。 就价值而言，现实世界资产的代币化是区块链的一个关键用例，我们现在看到了重大进展。代表美元的稳定币价值 2160 亿美元，其中 58% 在以太坊上发行（第二大是 Tron (TRX)，占 28%，Solana 仅占 5%），随着现任美国政府专注于稳定币的增长，这些数字将继续攀升！至于更复杂的资产，贝莱德的 BUIDL 基金在以太坊上将 5 亿美元的美国国库券代币化，但这只是 150 多种代币化资产中的一种，总价值超过 38 亿美元（不包括稳定币！）。随着 Ondo finance 和 Backed 等发行人在以太坊上将更多资产代币化，这一数字也将增加。没有其他链或 L2 能接近这种代币化价值水平。 意见 Slva 稳定 答案是开发者 如果一家机构想要建立一个加密项目，那么它的起点将是技术社区。有超过 1 万名开发人员在从事基于以太坊虚拟机的项目（比下一个最接近的生态系统多 3 倍），开发人员很可能会推荐以太坊。从德意志银行到特朗普总统的世界自由金融等机构的一系列项目可以看出。 比开发人员更重要的是安全性和稳定性。以太坊交易吞吐量较低、开发周期较长的原因之一是注重去中心化、正常运行时间和弹性。该网络在使用六种不同软件堆栈的节点上运行，这意味着其中一个错误不会停止网络。同样，该网络的设计能够经受住区域性灾难，大约有 10,000 个节点在世界各国运行，这些节点运行在像手机一样简单的计算机上。这些设计目标反映在网络自诞生以来的 100% 正常运行时间中。 这表明，不同的区块链都有空间专注于各自的优势。以太坊是首屈一指的智能合约平台，被广泛用于去中心化金融以及构建新金融轨道和代币化产品的机构。比特币很容易被理解为一种价值存储，而 Solana 目前正引领高性能、低价值交易的发展，例如 meme 币交易。 如果 ETH 价格的波动有一个好处，那就是它激发了以太坊生态系统更加外向的努力。人们意识到，仅仅专注于建设可能还不够。以太坊基金会已重新启用其 X.com 帐户，该领域的领导者也更加直言不讳，Etherealize 等组织正在华盛顿和华尔街倡导以太坊。任何行业的领导者都不能停滞不前，除了头条新闻之外，以太坊还在继续推动创新。 阅读更多：以太坊收益率下降可能预示着生态系统的范式转变 | 观点 蒂姆·洛 蒂姆·洛是一位高级技术经理，拥有 20 多年为摩根大通、道富银行和苏格兰皇家银行等领先金融机构构建前台交易系统的经验。在过去的七年里，他一直与领先的数字资产公司合作，主要在以太坊和 Filecoin 区块链上构建企业和机构产品。
