Synthetix contributors have released a proposal to acquire options protocol Derive through a token swap deal involving 29.3 million SNX with a lock-up and vesting period, valued at approximately $27 million. On May 14, the DeFi protocol declared its intention to acquire one of its former ecosystem projects, decentralized options platform Derive. At the moment, the proposal is still awaiting review from the Synthetix’s governing DAO, the Spartan Council, and Derive governance before it can be executed. “This acquisition accelerates Synthetix’s push towards a leading Ethereum mainnet perps engine, by integrating Derive’s capabilities and team into the core protocol,” wrote the protocol in its recent blogpost. Outlined within the new SIP-415, the acquisition would take the form of a structured token swap at a ratio of 27:1. This means that for every 27 DRV tokens, holders would receive 1 SNX (SNX) under a three-month lock and a nine-month linear vesting period upon token distribution. As part of the deal, Synthetix will issue 29.3 million new SNX tokens, valued at $27 million. SNX has been experiencing a week-long rally, surging more than 45%, according to data from crypto.news. At press time, the token has gone up $0.84, reaching its highest peak at $0.96. It is inching closer to the $1 mark, especially after soaring by nearly 50% in the past month.

In the past 24 hours, SNX daily trading volume has jumped only slightly, increasing by 1% compared to the previous day. The acquisition of Derive could potentially lead to the protocol launching its own dedicated derivatives exchange on the ecosystem. This is because the protocol would be acquiring not only members of the Derive team, but also its technology, which facilitates CLOB perpetuals with on-chain settlement acceleration. According to the blogpost, the integration of Derive’s options trading infrastructure into Synthetix is poised to rival other major derivatives-offering platforms such as Hyperliquid, Binance, Deribit, and dYdX. Founder of Synthetix, Kain Warwick, said the proposed acquisition of Derive is part of the protocol’s effort to reunite scattered projects under the Synthetix ecosystem. He explained that Derive was “born from the same DNA,” as it had originally emerged from Synthetix under the name Lyra. The protocol had previously acquired other projects that were once under Synthetix, including perpetual futures platform Kwenta and token leveraging project TLX. “Reuniting under one banner simplifies our architecture and governance and unlocks the next phase. This is the kids going out to build their own successful start-ups, and coming back to join the family business,” said Warwick.

Kazakhstan is pushing forward with plans to modernize its energy system through digital mining and expand crypto trading beyond the Astana International Financial Centre economic zone. In an op-ed published in Kazakhstanskaya Pravda, Kanysh Tuleushin, First Vice Minister of Digital Development, Innovation and Aerospace Industry, outlined the government’s strategy to use digital mining to upgrade the country’s energy infrastructure and improve efficiency. Under a proposed “70/30” model, foreign investors would fund upgrades to thermal power stations, with 70% of the new energy output directed to the national grid and 30% allocated for mining operations. Tuleushin noted that this model mirrors practices in the United States, where crypto miners help balance the power grid by consuming excess electricity during periods of low demand. He believes Kazakhstan can adopt a similar approach, positioning mining farms as a tool to stabilize and support the energy system. He also proposed using associated petroleum gas, a byproduct of oil production often flared or wasted, to generate electricity for mining farms. This would reduce environmental impact and create new revenue streams for oil producers. According to Tuleushin, digital mining has contributed $34.6 million in tax revenue over the past three years. Since 2023, Kazakhstan has registered over 415,000 pieces of mining equipment, issued 84 licenses, and accredited five mining pools, with the sector continuing to grow.

Crypto trading volume at AIFC exchanges grew from $324.2 million in 2023 to $1.4 billion in 2024. However, experts estimate that the total digital asset transaction volume in Kazakhstan reached $4.1 billion in 2023, with 91.5% occurring outside the scope of regulation. “… if all restrictions were lifted and digital asset trading was allowed across Kazakhstan, the impact could be significant. Flexible rules would attract major players, as we saw in the UAE. Kazakhstan might become Central Asia’s crypto hub, competing with Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, which have also embraced the market. Legalizing the gray zone would bring billions of tenge into the budget. For example, just a 10% tax could generate more than 190 billion tenge per year ($372.9 million), enough to construct dozens of new schools and hospitals from scratch,” the minister stated. To that end, Tuleushin proposed the introduction of flexible crypto trading rules outside the AIFC. He said the Ministry of Digital Development is currently working on proposals to establish transparent crypto exchanges and ATMs. However, implementation would require coordination with the National Bank and the Financial Market Regulation Agency. Additionally, Kazakhstan is currently gearing up to expand the use of the digital tenge, which was designed to enable full traceability of public spending. The CBDC pilot project has issued 250 billion digital tenge to date, using unique digital tags to track expenditure.

过去 10 年，美国联邦政府出售了约 195,000 比特币，包括与丝绸之路相关的犯罪扣押，共计获利 3.66 亿美元。 白宫人工智能和加密货币沙皇大卫·萨克斯 (David Sacks) 通过 X 表示，由于前几届政府采取的围墙花园投资策略，美国纳税人自 2013 年以来损失了 170 亿美元的比特币 (BTC) 利润。 萨克斯分享了一份由埃隆·马斯克支持的 Grok AI 生成的联邦政府比特币销售分析报告，这似乎再次暗示了唐纳德·特朗普总统领导下美国可能建立加密储备。 美国政府于 2013 年开始扣押比特币，当时 FBI 没收了 11 枚比特币，这是美国机构首次没收该资产。公开记录显示，这些比特币是从试图购买非法毒品的不法分子手中没收的。 此后，美国联邦调查局和其他执法机构已没收了约19.5万枚比特币。数据显示，美国政府在过去12年中曾11次出售比特币，截至2015年11月，在三年内四次大规模出售中，共计变现17.3万枚比特币。 你可能还喜欢：特朗普的加密战略储备只是为了充实 WLFI 和他自己的腰包的幌子吗？ 仅凭这些储备，价值就超过 150 亿美元，因为 3 月 6 日 BTC 的价格为每枚 89,800 美元。“如果政府持有比特币，那么如今其价值将超过 170 亿美元，”Sack 表示，这意味着政府持有纸质加密货币财富。纸质投资者是指早期出售资产并错过其最大价格上涨的投资者。 美国政府在公共金库中还留有 207,000 比特币，这些比特币可能会转变为国家储备或成为美国加密货币储备的基础。特朗普总统 1 月份的行政命令指示他的加密货币内阁和美国证券交易委员会等监管机构制定比特币储备立法，这增强了行业的希望。 特朗普关于在储备中混合比特币与山寨币的进一步言论，在他的加密货币支持者和科技重度硅谷支持者之间造成了分歧。 不过，特朗普可能会在 3 月 7 日举行的首届白人加密货币峰会上宣布 BTC 储备策略。由于市场波动影响现货价格，该资产在峰会前重新回到了 90,000 美元的价格水平。 过去十年，联邦政府出售了约 195,000 枚比特币，获利 3.66 亿美元。如果政府持有比特币，如今其价值将超过 170 亿美元。这就是美国纳税人因没有制定长期战略而付出的代价。— David Sacks (@davidsacks47) 2025 年 3 月 6 日 阅读更多：据报道，特朗普将在白宫加密货币峰会上宣布比特币储备战略

AI will, in the coming decades, become part of the very fabric of the universe. Our technology will be open source, transparent, scalable and able to adapt and evolve on any device regardless of hardware,” Ardoino wrote on X. The move reflects Tether’s growing push into AI and follows earlier announcement that the company is developing a suite of AI apps, including AI Translate, AI Voice Assistant, and AI Bitcoin Wallet Assistant. Apart from its AI efforts, Tether is currently preparing to launch a U.S.-based dollar-pegged stablecoin, which could roll out by the end of this year or earlier, according to Ardoino. Speaking at the Token2049 conference in Dubai, Ardoino said that the upcoming domestic stablecoin would be separate from the company’s existing international products, including USDT.
