Coinbase 有望赢得法律胜利，因为 SEC 计划驳回具有里程碑意义的诉讼

Ukraine may soon be reviewing a legislative proposal to create a state Bitcoin reserve with backing from cryptocurrency exchange Binance. According to local media, Ukrainian MP Yaroslav Zhelezniak, who also serves as First Deputy Chairman of the Finance Committee, has confirmed plans to introduce the draft bill in parliament soon. “We will soon submit a draft law from the industry allowing the creation of crypto reserves,” Zhelezniak was quoted as saying. While the final version is still being refined, Zhelezniak has clarified that the initiative will focus exclusively on Bitcoin, shifting from earlier mentions of broader crypto reserves. If the bill is passed, Ukraine would become the first European country to establish a state-run Bitcoin reserve. The proposal has drawn interest from Binance, whose regional head for Central and Eastern Europe, Kirill Khomyakov, expressed support for the initiative. Speaking to local media, Khomyakov said the creation of such a reserve would require “significant changes in legislation,” noting that while the process may not be quick, it could bring long-term benefits. “Another positive aspect is that this initiative will likely lead to greater clarity in the regulation of crypto assets in Ukraine, as the government will need to more clearly articulate its position on this issue,” he added.

Similar reserve models are already gaining traction elsewhere. In the United States, Texas lawmakers recently advanced Senate Bill 21, which would allow the state comptroller to invest in digital assets with a market cap above $500 billion. Arizona and New Hampshire have already taken steps in this direction. Arizona’s fund will be sourced from unclaimed digital assets, while New Hampshire has authorized up to 10% of its general fund to be allocated to Bitcoin and similarly capitalized assets. Outside the U.S., there have been talks of establishing Bitcoin reserves in countries such as Taiwan, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Russia, and Sweden. Ukraine’s growing interest in a Bitcoin reserve comes as the country continues to reshape its digital asset framework. In April, the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy unanimously approved a draft law on virtual assets.  However, the bill was later withdrawn from consideration, reportedly at the initiative of the President’s Office. While the draft law’s progress was stalled, regulatory efforts have not. Ukraine’s securities regulator has separately proposed a 23% tax on crypto income, combining personal and military levies.

Bitfarms posted strong top-line growth in the first quarter of this year, but rising production costs following the April 2024 Bitcoin halving drove a sharp decline in mining margins. Bitfarms reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2025, posting revenue of $67 million, a 33% increase year-over-year. Despite the revenue growth, the company’s gross mining margin declined to 43%, down from 63% in the same period in 2024, reflecting a 20-point drop due to rising production costs. 🚨JUST IN: Bitfarms released its Q1 2025 Earnings Report.✔️ Revenue of $67mn, up 33% Y/Y✔️ Total energy pipeline of ~1.4 GW, ~80% based in the U.S✔️ Private debt facility with Macquarie Group for up to $300 million to fund initial HPC development at Panther Creek, validating…— Bitfarms (@Bitfarms_io) May 14, 2025 The total cash cost to produce one bitcoin rose sharply to $72,300, compared to $27,900 a year earlier. Direct production cost increased to $47,800 from $18,400, highlighting the pressure on margins as mining becomes more expensive after the April 2024 Bitcoin halving. Operationally, the company reported a hashrate of 19.5 EH/s as of March 31, 2025, up from 6.5 EH/s a year earlier. Mining efficiency improved to 19 watts per terahash, a 44% improvement from 34 watts per terahash in Q1 2024. Bitfarms’ operating capacity rose to 461 megawatts, compared to 240 megawatts in the same period last year. However, efficiency gains weren’t enough to offset the broader rise in total production costs.

Hut 8 Corp. also reported a steep revenue drop of over 50% in the first quarter of this year and swung to a significant loss, which CEO Asher Genoot attributed to the full impact of the halving now taking effect. To offset reduced mining profitability, mining firms are moving into high-performance computing, and Bitfarms is following suit. During the quarter, the company secured a $300 million private debt facility from a division of Macquarie Group to fund the buildout of its HPC project at the Panther Creek site in Pennsylvania. Other strategic developments in the quarter included the sale of the Yguazu facility in Paraguay and the acquisition of Stronghold Digital Mining, adding two power campuses in Pennsylvania.

Babylon Labs 已正式推出 Babylon Genesis，这是首个由比特币担保的 Layer-1 区块链。 Babylon Labs (BABY) 刚刚宣布推出 Babylon Genesis Layer-1。此次发布是继 2024 年 8 月推出的初始阶段 1 之后的又一力作，该阶段引入了通过自托管合约进行比特币 (BTC) 质押的功能。自首次发布以来，该协议已吸引了 49678.65 BTC（约合 40.6 亿美元）的自托管合约质押。根据 DefiLlama 的数据，Babylon 目前在再质押协议的总锁定价值排名中位居第二，仅次于 EigenLayer。 来源：DefiLlama 随着今天的发布，该项目进入了第二阶段。此阶段包括 Genesis 区块链的全面发布、验证器节点和最终性提供者等核心基础设施的激活，以及 BABY 代币的首次亮相，该代币现已可供转移和质押。 符合条件的用户将直接收到空投的 BABY 代币，并支持代币的转账和质押。最终阶段，即第 3 阶段，将引入更多受比特币保护的网络，使其他区块链能够通过 Babylon Genesis Layer-1 获得 BTC 质押的安全性和流动性。 您可能还喜欢：Sui 与 Babylon Labs 和 Lombard 合作，增加比特币权益 Babylon 提供了一种独特的比特币质押方式，允许用户将 BTC 锁定在自主托管合约中，同时保留所有权。与传统的质押方式（将资产交给智能合约或托管人）不同，Babylon 的方法确保用户拥有完全的控制权。如果参与者（例如验证者或最终确定性提供者）行为不诚实，其质押的 BTC 可能会被“削减”（部分惩罚），类似于权益证明 (PoS) 区块链。 Fractal Bitcoin 联合创始人 Spencer Yang 在接受采访时表示：“比特币 OG 真正关心的是保管自己的密钥，控制自己的财务决策。” 区块链由质押 BABY 代币的验证者和质押 BTC 的最终性提供者来保护，以提供额外的安全性。 Looking ahead, one major feature to look out for is a trust-minimized bridge between Bitcoin and Genesis, called BitVM2. This will enable BTC to flow into the Babylon ecosystem without relying on multisig setups, using slashing and cryptographic techniques to enforce trustless behavior.
