分析师警告称，以太坊的 Pectra 升级可能成为催化剂，但市场情绪“仍然低迷”

Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin issuer, is planning to launch a U.S.-based dollar-pegged stablecoin as soon as this year, CEO Paolo Ardoino told CNBC.  The move coincides with his increased lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C., aimed at influencing crypto regulation as pro-crypto sentiment grows under former President Donald Trump’s allies, according to CNBC reporting.  Speaking at the Token2049 conference in Dubai, Ardoino emphasized that the upcoming domestic stablecoin would be separate from Tether’s (USDT) existing international products.  He said the launch could happen by year-end or early 2025, depending on the outcome of pending legislation.

Tether, headquartered in El Salvador, has a checkered history with regulators. In 2021, it paid $18.5 million to settle claims it misled the New York attorney general about its reserves.  Today, the company claims it holds nearly $120 billion in U.S. Treasuries, overseen by Cantor Fitzgerald.  Its Q1 audit showed it had $5.6 billion in excess reserves, down from $7 billion at year-end. The firm’s U.S. expansion coincides with news that Eric and Donald Trump Jr. plan to launch their own dollar-backed stablecoin through a venture linked to their father’s political brand, potentially setting the stage for a domestic stablecoin arms race.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has formally ended its legal battle with Hex founder Richard Schueler, widely known as Richard Heart.  In a letter to New York District Court Judge Carol Bagley Amon, which Heart shared on X, the SEC stated that it “does not intend to file an amended complaint,” thereby allowing the earlier court dismissal to stand. As previously covered on crypto.news, the SEC had sued Heart in July 2023, accusing him of raising over $1 billion through unregistered securities offerings tied to his crypto projects, Hex (HEX), PulseChain (PLS), and PulseX (PSLX). Heart was also accused of using investor funds for personal luxury purchases, including high-end watches and cars, while he promoted his project tokens as paths to “grandiose wealth.” The case took a turn in February when district court Judge Amon tossed the complaint, saying the SEC could not prove that Heart’s actions specifically targeted U.S. investors. While the regulator was given time to amend and refile, it has now chosen to walk away from the case altogether.

Since former chair Gary Gensler’s departure in January, the agency has steadily scaled back its litigation efforts targeting the crypto sector. Heart celebrated the dismissal, claiming that HEX, PulseChain, and PulseX had “defeated the SEC completely” and gained a level of “regulatory clarity that nearly no other coins have.” “This is a victory for open-source software, cryptocurrency, and free speech,” he said, adding that the case “would have set a terrible precedent and caused perhaps multiple billions of dollars of damage to the vital open source and free software industry that powers most of the Internet.” But while Heart may be off the SEC’s radar, he’s still on Interpol’s. He was added to the agency’s Red Notice list in December 2024, with Finnish authorities seeking his arrest over tax evasion charges spanning nearly four years, and an assault allegation involving a 16-year-old. As of press time, the Red Notice remains active, and Heart’s name still appears on Europe’s most wanted list. Read more:BitClout founder ‘Diamondhands’ charged with securities fraud

Bitcoin and most altcoins remained in a tight range on Tuesday after the US published the April consumer inflation data. Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at $103,800, while Ethereum (ETH) hovered above the key point at $2,520. The market cap of all cryptocurrencies was largely unchanged at $3.3 trillion. Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed that annual inflation dropped slightly in April, while the monthly figure rose less than expected. The headline consumer price index data rose from minus 0.1% in March to 0.2% in April, bringing the annualized figure to 2.3%. These figures were lower than the median estimates of 0.3% and 2.4%, respectively.

It remained at 2.8%, higher than the Federal Reserve’s target of 2.0%. Further to the earlier post, US CPI monthly inflation for April came in below the consensus forecasts for both the headline and core measures (please see Bloomberg table below).While good news, the numbers will have little impact on the ongoing debate on the possible… pic.twitter.com/Nr8y8FRK7p— Mohamed A. El-Erian (@elerianm) May 13, 2025 These numbers will fuel Donald Trump’s call for the Federal Reserve to start cutting interest rates, a move that will boost risky assets like Bitcoin and other altcoins.  The data came a week after the Fed left interest rates unchanged, and warned that inflation will keep rising because of tariffs. Jerome Powell, the Fed Chair, hinted that the bank will wait and see to assess the impact of tariffs. Wall Street analysts have reduced their interest rate cut odds. In an X post on Monday, Jim Bianco, a popular economist, noted that the odds of a June cut fell to 8%. July odds have fallen to 35%, and September odds moved from 100% earlier this month to 66%. Rate cuts continue to disappear.* June 18 (red) now 8% (92% no move)* July 30 (green) now 35% (65% no move)No cut is priced until September 17. And even that cut (blue) is disappearing. It was more than 100% ~10 days ago and is now 66% (34% no move) and continuing to fall. pic.twitter.com/5oB9NNEqGe— Jim Bianco (@biancoresearch) May 12, 2025 However, if the inflation figures keep falling and the US removes most tariffs, a rate cut may come as early as July.Polymarket odds of a rate cut in July rose to 27% on Tuesday from Monday’s 20%. Bitcoin and altcoins do well when the Fed is either cutting rates or when it is hinting at a future cut. A good example of this is what happened during the pandemic when the Fed slashed rates to nearly zero. Crypto assets also jumped in 2023 when the FEd hinted at cuts as post-pandemic inflation data started to cool. You might also like:Pi Network drops more than 25%, breaking week-long rally

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。 2024 年，我们看到链上活动大幅增加，表明用户兴趣显著增长。然而，区块链技术仍然面临着拥堵、碎片化和第 2 层解决方案中心化等挑战。随着唐纳德·特朗普就职典礼后有利的监管前景和机构兴趣的增加，必须应对这些挑战，为即将到来的采用浪潮做好准备。 你可能还喜欢：进步的悖论：区块链的真正突破在于其限制 | 观点 Recently highlighted in the2025 Annual Crypto Thesesby Messari, intent-centric approaches are emerging as a significant evolutionary shift that will play a pivotal role in improving accessibility and efficiency for users. Understanding intent-centric infrastructure 意图是一种声明性工具，可与去中心化的点对点网络配合使用，以查找和满足交易对手。它们允许用户陈述他们想要的结果，而无需解释如何获得这些结果。这简化了交互，提供了类似于 Uber 等 Web2 应用程序的体验，并提供了 AI 的自动化优势，而没有相关的集中化和隐私问题。事实上，意图是释放 AI 真正潜力的关键原语，并且已经在各种 AI 用例中得到了广泛采用。 借助以目标为中心的 DeFi，用户可以定义复杂的目标，例如在指定时间范围内以最佳汇率将一个以太坊 (ETH) 兑换为 USD Coin (USDC)，而无需手动设置路由或 gas 费等参数。系统会处理复杂的细节，例如确定最佳流动性池、确保最佳汇率以及确定最有效的执行路径。这种以目标为导向的自动化方法极大地提升了用户体验。 以意图为中心的基础设施还允许大多数计算和数据存储在用户的边缘设备上进行，从而增强了可扩展性，减少了以太坊等网络上的拥堵。2024 年，交易费的上涨导致许多用户放弃链上操作，这凸显了对可扩展解决方案的需求，这些解决方案可以降低成本并改善与区块链的交互。此外，通用意图可以解决多链环境中的碎片化问题，使应用程序能够无缝地跨不同网络工作。用户可以简单地陈述他们想要的结果，而无需浏览各种链和协议的复杂性。 意图将开启下一波 dApp 创新 如今，用户与各种各样的应用程序进行交互，从社交媒体平台到在线市场。完全建立在去中心化基础设施上的 Web3 应用程序只占其中的一小部分。这主要是由于当前一代区块链基础设施的局限性，在虚拟机上构建的 dApp 需要分步说明。虚拟机无法运行 Uber、Discord 或 Tinder 等复杂应用程序，因此如果我们想与 web2 创新竞争，就需要一种新的方法。 通用意图提供了一种解决方案。它们启用了新一波 dApp，这些 dApp 可以匹配甚至超越 web2 的复杂性和用户体验，同时忠于 web3 的精神。想象一个完全去中心化的 Discord，它具有跨各种安全域和 UI 的复杂权限、隐私和互操作性。在 Uber 的例子中，通用意图可用于创建一个将所有服务提供商聚合到一个 UI 中的单一应用程序，因此用户无需在不同的叫车应用程序之间切换即可找到 A 点和 B 点之间最快或最便宜的路线。建设者已经在使用通用意图来创建无需滑动的替代约会应用程序，其中用户可以自动与其他有共同兴趣或符合他们指定的任何标准的人匹配。 对于 DeFi 而言，通用意图是一种强大的新原语，可以帮助行业开发新颖的应用程序并消除对中心化基础设施的依赖。完全去中心化的多维订单簿 DEX 只是一个有希望的例子。传统的订单簿 DEX 依靠中心化基础设施来发现交易对手，并且只允许基于一个维度进行交易：价格。借助通用意图，您可以基于时间偏好或收益机会等其他维度进行交易，从而为更复杂的可能性打开大门。最重要的是，您可以以完全去中心化的方式进行交易。 行业下一步行动 如果我们真的想让 web2 用户加入 web3，我们需要符合人们习惯的直观性和易用性。事实上，用户甚至不需要知道他们正在使用 web3 应用程序或了解底层的区块链技术。通过实现简单、自动化的体验、内置加密轨道、隐私和用户对数据的控制、完全去中心化和互操作性，web3 不仅可以达到甚至超越 web2 的承诺。 通用意图具有实现这一未来的独特优势。通过模糊 web2 和 web3 之间的界限，并让用户专注于他们想要实现的结果，意图提供了一条有希望的前进道路。最重要的是，它们使该领域能够与 web2 的可用性相媲美，而不会牺牲去中心化、弹性、可验证性和用户主权的核心原则。 你可能还喜欢：加密货币终于告别了“兄弟”时代，迎来了包容性的新篇章 | 观点 阿德里安·布林克 阿德里安·布林克是 Anoma 的联合创始人，Anoma 是一个以意图为中心的操作系统，它使去中心化应用程序的用户能够定义他们想要的结果。Anoma 是目前唯一提供通用（而非特定于 dApp）基于意图的操作系统的解决方案。Adrian 是 Anoma 基金会理事会成员，也是 Cryptium Labs 的联合创始人和扩展者，Cryptium Labs 是一家在瑞士阿尔卑斯山提供 PoS 验证的基础设施运营商，同时还创建了 Metastate，这是一家升级价值超过 40 亿美元的第 1 层协议的研发公司。此前，Adrian 是 Tendermint 的第三位核心协议工程师，负责构建 Cosmos 堆栈。
