纽约 Burwick Law 律师事务所就 LIBRA 代币发行提起集体诉讼

在 3 月 2 日和 3 月 3 日分别发布的两篇 X 帖子中，Tether 首席执行官 Paolo Ardonio 分享了他解决非洲电力短缺问题的计划。他的计划是什么？为什么非洲对 Tether 来说有特殊的意义？ Ardonio 的声明 2025 年 3 月 2 日，Ardonio 接受了 X 的采访，讲述了他对如何解决非洲电力危机的看法。他表示，6 亿非洲人无法用上电，并分享了他对可能的解决方案的看法。 Ardonio 表示，目前正在制定一项“计划”。他认为，配备高性能电池和顶部安装环保太阳能电池板的自助服务终端网络可以成为一种解决方案。人们需要每月支付订阅费才能使用这些自助服务终端为电池充电。他们可以以当地货币、比特币或 USDT 支付费用。自助服务终端将为当地社区提供电力。 截至2023年，非洲将有6亿人无法用电。想象一下非洲的一个小亭子，顶部装有太阳能电池板，可以为数百个高性能电池充电，为当地社区提供每月订阅服务（以当地货币、比特币 LN 或 USDt 支付）。……— Paolo Ardoino 🤖 (@paoloardoino) 2025 年 3 月 2 日 该网络将分至少两个阶段部署，第一阶段将建设 1 万个充电桩，第二阶段将建设 10 万个充电桩。 除了为居民提供电力外，这些售货亭还将提供高质量的比特币和 Tether 储蓄教育材料和课程。除此之外，Ardonio 还提到了“任何商品和服务的最大分销网络”。 3 月 3 日，Tether 首席执行官补充道，所描述的计划“并非假设”，并且“数百个自助服务终端已经启动并运行”。在评论部分，Ardonio 补充说，Tether 在发电之后，将会在基础设施上开展工作。 反应 这一声明引起了各种各样的反应——从怀疑到完全赞同。例如，Blocksteam 首席执行官 Adam Back 表示愿意使用这些自助服务终端广播其公司关于比特币的教育材料。一些评论者概述了企业可能存在的问题，或质疑 Tether 在此类举措中的作用。 评论者之一穆塔斯科 (Mutasco) 指出，去中心化精神更符合创建一个框架，在这个框架中，激励措施将推动各种独立参与者建立这样的自助服务终端，而不是公司本身建立整个网络。他补充说，Tether 基金会可能已经提出了这个框架。“这平衡了自治与集中支持，与建立社区拥有的网络的精神相一致，”穆塔斯科说。 本着权力下放的精神，这一使命是否在某些运营商模型下设计的框架下进行，该框架结构为分散的、激励驱动的系统，其中独立的本地运营商可以充当大使和推动者？也许，Tether 可以支持该框架……— Mutasco (🐝) (@Cryptic_Chelsea) 2025 年 3 月 3 日 另一位绰号为“卧虎藏鲸”的评论者质疑当地居民是否能够支付订阅费用。此外，卧虎还对 Tether 企业的安全性表示担忧，称当地人可能会“劫持”自助服务亭，使用没有付费墙的电池充电器。针对这些担忧，Ardonio 指出，数百个地点已经在运营，而且“到目前为止一切顺利”。 嗯。。很酷的概念，但是当地人有实际收入来支付订阅/服务吗？😅如果是这样，它足以覆盖所有建设的资本支出吗？🤔如果不是……如果一些更“有进取心”的当地人劫持整个太阳能……会发生什么？— 卧虎藏鲸 (b/acc) 🍊🌋🐳 (@hidden_whale) 2025 年 3 月 2 日 电信公司的代表们出现在评论区，赞扬这项举措并推广他们的服务，表明了连通性的重要性。其中一位代表说，2019 年，他和他的合作伙伴在坦桑尼亚一个偏远的小渔村安装了两个空中节点，事实证明这一举措非常有效，因为现在这个村庄的规模扩大了三倍，人们感到更安全，也有了更多的卖鱼机会。 非洲和美洲的 Tether 值得一提的是，Tether 一直在强调其在非洲和其他地区所发挥的作用，这些地区的人们缺乏银行服务以及以稳定货币储蓄的工具。该公司的网站直接指出，非洲、南美洲和中美洲是 Tether “赋能数百万人”的地区，这些地区拯救了家庭“免于当地货币不断贬值的影响”。 自 2022 年以来，USDT 在非洲的使用量显着增长。彭博社援引 Tether 经济主管 Philip Gradwell 的话称，Tether 在非洲的主要用途是储蓄和向国外汇款。 https://crypto.news/chainaanalysis-stablecoins-represent-40-of-crypto-economy-in-sub-saharan-africa 促进发展中国家的金融机会伴随着扩大美元在这些地区的影响力的使命。Tether 是世界上最大的美国国债买家之一，因此该公司强调其在消除美国债务和刺激美国经济方面的作用。 如今，该公司在美国面临越来越严格的审查，而后者则变得尤为重要。尽管新成立的加密货币友好型 SEC 不断撤销 Gensler 时代的一个又一个案件，但 Tether 发现自己现在的处境比 2025 年之前更加紧张。旨在监管稳定币的新 GENIUS 法案要求 Tether 提高透明度，而 Tether 从未接受过四大审计公司的审计。一些专家认为，Tether 将无法遵守规则，不得不退出美国市场。 美国财政部正在考虑对 Tether 实施制裁，因为它为俄罗斯、伊朗和恐怖组织哈马斯等受制裁国家提供服务。另一个令人担忧的问题是 Tether 参与资助朝鲜核计划。2024 年 10 月，《华尔街日报》报道称，联邦检察官正在调查可能违反制裁和反洗钱法的行为。2024 年 1 月的联合国报告显示，Tether 是犯罪和洗钱的首选加密货币之一。该报告指出，2022 年 9 月至 2023 年 9 月期间，用于非法活动的 USDT 总额为 170.7 亿美元，这在 Tether 总量中占比并不大，但却是加强审查和潜在起诉的一个很好的借口。 面对美国可能退出欧盟的威胁，增加其在其他地区的影响力并将重点从与美元挂钩的稳定币转移到比特币可能是 Tether 有效的复苏计划。 阅读更多：Tether 的 Paolo Ardoino：稳定币法案的修改旨在“消灭 Tether”

South Korea’s central bank said it should have legal authority over the approval of won-based stablecoins, warning they could disrupt monetary policy if treated like legal tender. The Bank of Korea, South Korea‘s central bank, said monetary authorities must be involved from the start if the country allows the issuance of stablecoins tied to the Korean won, BusinessKorea has learned, citing a senior BOK official. In a statement, the official said that if won-based stablecoins are used like legal tender, they could complicate monetary policy operations and that this would require the BOK’s involvement in the approval process. They added that, like in the United States, the Fed also exercises “some authority in related legislation.” You might also like:Visa backs stablecoin infra provider BVNK in strategic bet on stablecoin payments Koh Kyung-chul, who leads the central bank’s electronic finance team, earlier also said that stablecoins could affect how the BOK carries out monetary policy, manages financial stability, and oversees payments and settlements. He also stressed that the central bank should have “substantial legal authority” at the authorization stage when it comes to approving stablecoin issuers. In early May, Democratic Party lawmaker Min Byung-duk said that nearly half of the cryptocurrencies sent overseas from South Korea’s major exchanges in the first quarter were dollar-based stablecoins, citing data from the Financial Supervisory Service. According to Byung-duk, around 56.8 trillion won (around $40.6 billion) worth of cryptocurrencies were transferred overseas between January and March from five crypto exchanges: Upbit, Bithumb, Coinone, Cobbit, and Gopax. Of this amount, 26.87 trillion won, or 47.3%, was in stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC).

The DeFi Education Fund, a research and advocacy organization, has petitioned the Trump administration to intervene in the prosecution of Roman Storm, the Tornado Cash co-founder facing criminal charges. According to an April 28 letter directed to White House crypto czar David Sacks, the group urged President Trump to “take immediate action to discontinue the Biden-era Department of Justice’s lawless campaign to criminalize open-source software development.” They argued that Storm’s case is part of a broader overreach that “threatens the very foundation of technological innovation” in the United States. Storm, whom the U.S. Department of Justice charged in August 2023, has been accused of helping launder over $1 billion through Tornado Cash, a popular crypto mixing service.  He faces charges of conspiracy to facilitate money laundering, conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitter, and violating U.S. sanctions, offenses that could carry a combined sentence of up to 45 years if convicted. As previously reported by crypto.news, last year Storm filed a motion to dismiss all charges, arguing that Tornado Cash was an immutable, open-source protocol beyond his control.  You might also like:Tornado Cash ported to MegaETH testnet after U.S. Treasury lifts sanctions However, U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla denied the motion in September 2024, ruling that the indictment met the legal threshold to proceed to trial. A subsequent bid for reconsideration was also rejected in February 2025. In their letter, the DeFi Education Fund argued that the Department of Justice is pushing an “unprecedented theory” by attempting to hold developers liable for how others use their code, even when they have “no control over those third parties or user assets.” They warned that if left unchecked, this legal approach “freezes” open-source development altogether. The group also pointed out that Storm’s prosecution appears to contradict earlier Treasury Department guidance issued during Trump’s first term, which clarified that developers of self-custodial, peer-to-peer protocols are not considered money transmitters under federal law. “We in the blockchain industry have relied on that guidance in good faith since 2019,” the letter stated. Further, the letter warned that beyond Storm’s individual case, the DOJ’s actions create a legal environment that “empowers politically-motivated enforcement” and puts every open-source developer at risk, regardless of industry. “No one writing code in good faith should have to fear prosecution for the actions of strangers,” the letter said, arguing that innovation in fields like financial technology, artificial intelligence, and even healthcare could be stifled if developers are held liable for how their tools are used. Achieving the goal of making America the “crypto capital of the planet,” they said, requires protecting the very builders who create the underlying technology. “We ask President Trump to protect American software developers, restore legal clarity, and end this unlawful DOJ overreach,” the group wrote, adding that the stakes “could not be higher” for the future of crypto innovation in the U.S. Meanwhile, support for the petition is growing, with more than 253 signatures as of press time from various industry leaders, including Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko, Paradigm co-founder Matt Huang, and Bankless co-founder Ryan Sean Adams.
