白宫加密货币峰会：尼克·卡特对 3 月 7 日比特币储备公告作出反应

NodeOps, a top blockchain node orchestration platform, has announced a major milestone as it becomes a key validator partner for several enterprises in the crypto venture capital space. In an announcement, NodeOps said it had partnered with Maven 11, Spartan Group, Bitscale Capital, Momentum 6, and ARC Community, among other enterprises. The platform is now a key node operator for these firms, bringing its plug-and-play Node-as-a-Service solution to more industry players. NodeOps’ traction as a validator has seen it attract more than 705,000 verified users. “Trusted by enterprises and institutional-grade validators alike, NodeOps combines real-time AI-powered monitoring with top-notch security, simplicity, and scalability,” Naman Kabra, co-founder and chief executive officer of NodeOps said.  “As companies are moving away from managing their own infrastructure, NodeOps is becoming the preferred partner for those seeking reliability and future-ready solutions,” he added.  Data from Dune showed the platform netted more than $460k in revenue over 30 days. The milestone puts NodeOps among the top three platforms by revenue in the decentralized physical infrastructure network market. The validator platform’s total revenue, per Dune data, currently stands at over $3.6 million.

Growth has come amid rising institutional adoption. Month-on-month revenue has grown from $180,000 in February to $388,000 in March and $547,000 in April. NodeOps is self-sustainable, with its revenue coming from its core functionality and offerings, as opposed to tapping into the traditional token-based approach. The $NODE token serves as the network’s economic backbone, driving decentralization and ecosystem growth. Meanwhile, NodeOps has over 113,000 monthly active users, with MAU subscriptions rising amid a surge of partner chains to 51. Key partners include EigenLayer, Aethir, OffChain Labs, Polygon, 0G Labs, and Movement Labs, among others. NodeOps currently boasts about $90 million in assets under management.

Cathy Yoon commended Commissioner Peirce’s remarks on crypto regulation but expressed concerns over her idea of a regulatory sandbox. The Securities and Exchange Commission has radically shifted its policy on crypto, bringing voices such as that of Commissioner Hester M. Peirce to the forefront. However, some still believe that her pro-crypto approach has important limitations. Cathy Yoon, General Counsel at Wormhole Foundation, recently commented on the remarks made by Commissioner Peirce. While she agreed to some extent that regulatory exemptions for crypto are needed, she criticized Peirce’s idea of a regulatory sandbox. You might also like:SEC’s Hester Peirce pushes back on crypto regulation stance Notably, the debate centers around tokenized securities, which fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction. Any type of security must meet stringent regulatory requirements before the SEC deems it compliant. However, there are significant challenges ahead. Sandboxes are great in theory, but there are risks: Yoon Peirce points to ongoing technical issues as a key obstacle. In particular, the technical infrastructure remains underdeveloped. Yoon acknowledged this as a compelling argument in favor of regulatory exemptions for tokenized securities projects. “The infrastructure needed to support tokenized securities is still rather undeveloped and expensive to implement,” Yoon, Wormhole. Still, Yoon noted that she disagrees with Peirce’s concept of a regulatory sandbox. The concept, which Peirce has long advocated, refers to allowing startups to test certain products that exist in a regulatory gray area. These firms are closely monitored by regulators but face fewer penalties and a reduced compliance burden. Yoon argues that sandboxes sound promising in theory but introduce risks such as arbitrary enforcement and favoritism. “A sandbox is only as good as the leeway and support a regulator offers to the sandbox participants. There is also a concern that regulators may favor sandbox participants, leading to biased oversight or even weakened enforcement in the long term,” Yoon, Wormhole. Instead of a regulatory sandbox, Yoon proposed a limited-duration regulatory exemption. This would allow companies to test their products in a real environment, helping them adapt to actual conditions and scale more effectively. Read more:Hester Peirce writes: ‘The Journey Begins’

Coinbase and PayPal are deepening their partnership, now offering zero-fee onramps and offramps for PYUSD on the largest U.S.-based exchange. PayPal is doubling down on crypto payments with a strategic partnership push. On Thursday, April 24, Coinbase partnered with PayPal to offer zero-fee onramps and offramps for the PYUSD (PYUSD) stablecoin on its exchange. PayPal explained that this partnership will enable merchants to settle debts directly in PYUSD without relying on traditional payment networks. Settlement in PYUSD is also instant, one of the key reasons PayPal has pursued this direction. At the same time, Coinbase gives PayPal access to its large user base. “This combination of being able to connect the consumer bases of PayPal and Coinbase, bringing our merchants to the table, bringing [Coinbase’s] institutional access to the table — we think that it creates a really, really powerful combination,” Jose Fernandez da Ponte, PayPal’s senior vice president of blockchain, crypto and digital currencies. PayPal looks into expanding to DEXs PayPal and Coinbase are planning further partnerships aimed at making stablecoins and digital payments mainstream. At the same time, PayPal is exploring expansion into decentralized exchanges. This would allow users to use PYUSD for payments without intermediaries. “This is a partnership that is all about advancing the future of global payments, taking stablecoins mainstream, pushing forward this technology,” Lauren Abendschein, global head of institutional sales at Coinbase. In 2024, Coinbase started offering zero-fee onramps and offramps for Circle’s USDC stablecoin on its exchange. The move, they explained, was to grow the crypto industry by making it more attractive and accessible for new users.

别介意比特币的波动性极高。一些家长看得更远，选择投资加密货币，而不是传统的 529 大学储蓄计划，希望尽管有风险，也能获得更高的回报。 据彭博社报道，越来越多的家庭将比特币作为对冲通胀的工具。12 月份通胀情况进一步恶化，消费者价格同比上涨 2.6%。这一涨幅高于 11 月份的 2.4%。 赌注是，比特币是一种比传统 529 计划等传统储蓄账户具有更强长期增长潜力的资产。 这些家长认为，随着时间的推移，比特币可能会产生更好的效果。 你可能还喜欢：本周值得关注的顶级加密货币：Litentry、Flare、Pi Network CryptoCoinToss 是一个深入探讨加密货币投资各个方面的博客，它也有类似的看法。据一篇博文称，比特币的通货紧缩性质是父母将其作为替代储蓄工具（例如国家支持的 529 计划）的有力理由。 为什么？尽管 529 大学储蓄计划可以帮助个人节省教育费用，并具有一定的税收优惠，但它也存在缺点。资金必须严格用于与学校相关的费用（即学费、书籍、食宿）。如果高中毕业生希望使用这些资金创业或出国旅行，则提款将面临 10% 的罚款和税款。 此外，529 资产可能会降低获得助学金的资格，尤其是如果由祖父母拥有的话。各州的具体规定各不相同，有些计划提供的税收优惠比其他计划更好，而高费用可能是一个缺点。尽管存在这些限制，529 计划仍然是大学储蓄的热门选择。 Upromise 上发布的一篇博客概述了使用加密货币进行大学储蓄对经济援助和税收的影响。比特币和其他虚拟货币在 FAFSA 表格上被视为资产，这意味着必须报告它们，并且会影响经济援助资格。 如果出售后获得收益，利润将计入调整后总收入，从而可能减少援助。 尽管比特币很有吸引力，但理财顾问警告不要全押。与 529 计划不同，比特币投资不提供免税的教育费用提款，而且其价格波动可能使其成为短期学费需求的风险赌注。 尽管如此，一些家长仍在寻找平衡——维持传统的 529 计划，同时将部分储蓄分配给比特币，以期获得长期收益。 随着机构对比特币的采用不断增加，以及交易所交易基金（ETF）等新投资工具的出现，使用加密货币进行大学储蓄的争论可能会愈演愈烈。 特朗普会改变529计划吗？ 只有少数几所美国学校（纽约国王学院和宾大沃顿商学院）接受比特币支付学费，其他几所国际机构也接受。但是，学生贷款不能直接用比特币支付，需要持有者先出售他们的加密货币，这会产生税收后果。
