The U.S. SEC has officially closed its investigation into NFT gaming project CyberKongz, four months after the project was hit with a Wells notice over its ERC-20 token integration. In a recent post, the CyberKongz announced that the financial agency has pulled the plug on its initial investigation into the project’s operations. Calling it a “win for our industry,” the web3 gaming and NFT project plans to do a complete rebrand following the landmark decision. “After years of litigation, unjust allegations, crippling legal fees, and the biggest hurdle we could possibly encounter – we are free. This is an extremely proud moment for CyberKongz,” said the account in its post. The SEC has officially closed its investigation into CyberKongz.经过多年的诉讼、不公正的指控、高昂的律师费以及我们可能遇到的最大障碍——我们自由了。对于 CyberKongz 来说，这是一个无比自豪的时刻。我们是一家规模虽小、充满热情的公司……pic.twitter.com/kU1QOnp4wN— CyberKongz (@CyberKongz) 2025年4月15日 在该决定之后，NFT 项目对 Web3 的未来表示乐观，因为它相信该结果将为 Web3 领域中探索区块链技术、NFT 和游戏的其他项目提供清晰的指导。 该项目继续说道：“我们确信，这一结果将为许多利用区块链技术进行创新的项目提供清晰的思路，突破 Web3 游戏的界限，并最终展示 NFT 的魅力。” You might also like:ZKcandy 宣布推出专注于游戏的全新 Web3 主网 去年12月，美国证券交易委员会（SEC）向NFT游戏项目发出了一份威尔斯通知。这份正式警告表达了SEC对CyberKongz将ERC-20代币整合到其一款区块链游戏中的担忧。SEC声称，这些代币属于证券，必须先注册，这与困扰Ripple (XRP)和Helium (HNT)等公司的许多其他加密货币诉讼类似。 CyberKongz 团队表示，他们“对 SEC 的做法极为失望”，并誓言将予以反击。该团队认为，此类案件的结果可能会对 Web3 游戏和 NFT 行业产生重大影响。 此前，该机构还对该项目在2021年进行的Genesis Kongz合约迁移提出了质疑，该迁移被视为一次代币销售。CyberKongz辩称，SEC误解了智能合约的用户，并指责SEC未能区分技术流程和实际代币销售。 在新特朗普政府的领导下，该联邦机构撤销了针对加密货币和 Web3 公司的多起诉讼，其中最著名的是 Kraken、Coinbase、Consensys、Robinhood、XRP 等。 Read more:Coinbase set for legal win as SEC plans to dismiss landmark lawsuit

Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. In just five years, stablecoins have grown from niche instruments to a $250 billion market. These digital assets now form essential infrastructure for crypto adoption, enabling transactions and providing the foundation for DeFi protocols. Yet, beneath this growth lies a troubling reality: dominant stablecoins carry hidden risks that contradict crypto’s foundational principles. You might also like:The United States SEC’s timely stablecoin guidelines | Opinion Recent history tells a cautionary tale. When TerraUSD collapsed in 2022, it erased billions overnight. Meanwhile, Tether’s (USDT) peg has wavered during market stress, and USDC (USDC) briefly faltered following Silicon Valley Bank’s failure. These incidents expose a fundamental question: why sacrifice decentralization and transparency when centralized models fail to guarantee stability? The fragile foundation of traditional stablecoins Conventional stablecoins operate on a deceptively simple premise—for every digital token issued, an equivalent amount of dollars sits in reserve. This model introduces vulnerabilities that users often overlook until a crisis strikes. Counterparty risk stands as the immediate concern. Users must trust that issuers maintain adequate reserves—a promise that becomes tenuous when audits are delayed or reserves include less liquid assets. During confidence crises, even momentary doubts can break the peg. More fundamentally, these stablecoins depend entirely on the traditional banking system. When Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in 2023, USDC temporarily lost its peg as Circle struggled to access billions in reserves. This revealed an uncomfortable truth: these stablecoins inherit all the weaknesses of the very system cryptocurrency was designed to transcend. The regulatory landscape adds another layer of fragility: centralized reserves create a single point of failure that authorities can target. Asset freezes directly undermine the permissionless nature that gives cryptocurrency its value, introducing a fundamental contradiction where tokens meant to enable borderless transactions ultimately depend on centralized institutions. The synthetic alternative: Engineering stability Synthetic dollars represent a fundamentally different approach to price stability. Rather than relying on fiat backing, these protocols use cryptocurrency collateral balanced with offsetting positions to neutralize price volatility through financial engineering. The mechanics operate through perpetual futures contracts—financial instruments unique to cryptocurrency markets that allow continuous trading without expiration dates. When a protocol holds Bitcoin (BTC) as collateral, it simultaneously establishes an equivalent short position via these contracts. This delta-neutral strategy ensures market movements cancel out. For example, if Bitcoin’s value increases 10%, the collateral gains 10% while the short position loses an equivalent amount. This mathematical balance keeps the synthetic dollar stable at $1. This elegant solution offers three critical advantages: complete independence from banking infrastructure, transparent verification through on-chain data, and sustainable yield generation through funding rate arbitrage, the premium paid between long and short positions in perpetual markets. Unlike failed algorithmic stablecoins that offered unsustainable 20% returns through artificial mechanisms, emerging synthetic dollars generate yield through verifiable market activities, creating a more sustainable model for users seeking both stability and returns. Not all synthetics are created equal Despite these innovations, a concerning trend has emerged. Many synthetic dollar implementations have merely shifted dependencies rather than eliminating them by relying on USDT-margined perpetual contracts for their hedging operations. This distinction matters. When a protocol uses USDT-margined futures, it remains exposed to Tether’s risks. Should Tether face regulatory challenges or solvency questions, these synthetic dollars would experience immediate disruption, creating precisely the centralized vulnerability they claim to solve. True innovation requires breaking these dependencies completely. The most resilient implementations use coin-margined futures—particularly Bitcoin-margined approaches—that operate independently from both traditional banking and existing stablecoins. This separation creates genuine resilience against contagion when centralized players face turmoil. Understanding the risk landscape While synthetic dollars offer compelling advantages, some can also introduce distinct risks that users should consider. Funding rate volatility and liquidation risk represent primary concerns. Though funding rates for major cryptocurrencies have historically been positive, they can turn negative during bear markets, potentially reducing yield. Extreme market conditions can also create liquidation risks if backing asset prices diverge significantly from short positions. Counterparty risks arise from reliance on exchanges for trade execution, while smart contract vulnerabilities pose technical risks despite rigorous auditing. Regulatory uncertainty also looms over the space, with potential restrictions that could impact long-term viability. Leading protocols address these challenges through reserve funds, diversified exchange relationships, and continuous security improvements, though their effectiveness during prolonged market stress remains to be tested. Navigating the future of stability For users seeking true stability in volatile markets, four evaluation criteria emerge as essential. First, demand radical transparency. Synthetic dollars must offer real-time verification through visible on-chain reserves and positions, allowing anyone to audit solvency at any moment.  Secondly, prioritize collateral quality. Liquidity determines resilience during market stress, making Bitcoin’s global trading volume and battle-tested history the gold standard for backing assets.  Third, analyze the complete dependency chain. The strongest protocols exclusively operate outside the fiat banking system and existing stablecoins, eliminating vulnerabilities that others merely obscure. And finally, assess yield sustainability. Funding rate arbitrage represents a genuine market inefficiency rather than temporary incentives, providing ongoing returns without relying on unsustainable tokenomics. The quest for a truly decentralized and stable value continues to evolve. This market is progressing toward synthetic dollars that achieve genuine decentralization while maintaining reliable value. As this asset class matures, offerings that maintain perfect stability while eliminating all centralized dependencies will be the last ones standing.

比特币目前徘徊在 82,900 美元，但一位受欢迎的加密货币百万富翁预计到本月底它将达到 100,000 美元。 截至周日发布时，比特币 (BTC) 的交易价格为 82,900 美元。这比本月的最低水平上涨了 10%，市值达到 16.2 亿美元。 BTC 价格图表 | 来源：crypto.news “到月底可能达到 10 万” 它之所以遇到这种阻力，可能是因为投资者仍然心存恐惧并保持观望态度。加密货币恐惧与贪婪指数仍处于 24 的恐惧区，这可能是因为美国与其主要贸易伙伴之间正在进行的贸易战。 乔什·曼德尔 (Josh Mandell) 是一位受欢迎的分析师和百万富翁，在 X 上拥有超过 79,000 名粉丝，他预测，如果比特币价格收于 84,000 美元以上，到月底可能达到 100,000 美元。 我记得规则是这样运作的。收盘价在 80K 和 84K 之间意味着反弹可以从这里继续……到月底可能达到 100K。如果它恰好以 84K 收盘，我们就运行表格……历史走势。超过 84K —— 我们再次下滑，反弹失败……https://t.co/phh3Rz5L16— Josh Man (@JoshMandell6) 2025 年 3 月 14 日 他的 X 个人资料显示，曼德尔从事交易行业多年。他在 90 年代为所罗门兄弟公司工作，也曾在 Caxton Associates 工作过。所罗门兄弟公司是美国最大的投资银行之一，直到 1997 年被旅行者集团收购。Caxton Associates 是一家顶级对冲基金，管理的资产超过 120 亿美元。 曼德尔因公布其富达账户详细信息而出名，这些信息显示他的投资组合已从 210 万美元增长至超过 2340 万美元。他主要通过交易比特币和 Strategy 或 MSTR 期权来实现这一目标。 2/ 为什么你应该相信他对比特币的判断？正如比特币的谚语所说：“不要相信，要验证”。也就是说，Josh Man 去年一直在公开交易比特币/MSTR（你可以在他的历史记录中看到他的所有交易）。他最初为这个投资组合注入了 21 亿美元……pic.twitter.com/qpyuGpwPWk— Peter Duan (@BTCBullRider) 2025 年 3 月 14 日 11 月，曼德尔对比特币价格的预测在网上疯传，这也让他人气飙升。他预测，如果以 84 美元为基准，比特币价格将跃升至 44.4 万美元。该帖子的浏览量超过 100 万次。 其他受欢迎的加密货币分析师仍然看好比特币。Cathie Wood 的 Ark Invest 本月购买了价值 8000 万美元的比特币，并增加了对 Coinbase 的持股。Michael Saylor 的 Strategy 在过去几个月也积累了更多的比特币，这表明其预计价格会反弹。 你可能还喜欢：以太坊 ETF 连续第三周出现资金流出，以太坊价格仍低于关键价格 美联储和风险偏好情绪 比特币本月需要上涨约 18% 才能达到 100,000 美元大关。这是可能的，但这取决于两个关键催化剂。 First, the market needs to adjust to President Donald Trump’s tariffs. This explains why U.S. equities jumped on Friday, with the Dow Jones and Nasdaq 100 indices rising by 674 and 450 points, respectively.  Historically, the stock market overreacts when there is a black swan event and rebounds afterward. A good example was during the COVID-19 pandemic when they crashed and bounced back.  Second, the Federal Reserve needs to embrace a dovish tone now that the odds of the U.S. economy contracting in the first quarter have risen. The Atlanta FedNow tool estimates that the U.S. GDP will contract by 2.4% in Q1. 鸽派的美联储可能会引发风险偏好情绪，推高比特币和山寨币的价格。 阅读更多：即将推出的 DTX 能否超越 XRP？

Blast is phasing out Safe’s front-end for multisig wallets, urging users to self-host or use BrahmaFi as it works to integrate multisig directly into its mobile platform. Layer-2 network Blast, built by the Blur founder Pacman and backed by Paradigm, has ended its service agreement with self-custody wallet provider Safe, citing third-party risk and usability concerns as it prepares to launch its own multisig solution. https://twitter.com/blast/status/1922132299291693108 The team behind the network said in an X announcement on Tuesday that it had decided “not to renew” its service agreement with Safe, adding that users who previously accessed their multisig wallets through Safe’s front-end now had two options: to use BrahmaFi’s hosted front-end or to host their own front-end to “reduce supply chain risk.” “That’s why we’re building multisig functionality directly into Blast Mobile — bringing secure wallet access to the entire Blast community.” Blast You might also like:Blast’s largest meme coin Pacmoon migrates to Solana The move comes weeks after Safe, formerly Gnosis Safe, announced a major company restructure. In mid-April, Safe co-founder Lukas Schor said the company was “restructuring the teams and parting ways with 14 teammates, people we deeply respect, who’ve each contributed meaningfully to our journey.” Schor explained the layoffs were due to “complexity” that had grown inside the company, adding that the growing complexity “started to affect our ability to move at the pace we expect of ourselves.” The restructure also followed a $1.43 billion theft from crypto exchange Bybit, which was later linked to a compromised Safe developer environment. The attacker, believed to be part of North Korea’s TraderTraitor group, used a fake stock simulator to install malware and steal session tokens from the developer’s laptop.

Cardano is gradually approaching a major support zone near $0.62, with several technical indicators aligning for a potential bounce. However, a lack of trading volume leaves bulls awaiting stronger confirmation. Cardano’s (ADA) has been in a slow decline over the past several sessions. Traders are now closely monitoring the $0.62 region, which serves as a critical level of confluence, incorporating Fibonacci support, historical horizontal support, and value area overlap, making it a potential pivot point if sentiment shifts. Key technical points Critical Support Zone:The $0.62 area includes the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement, daily horizontal support, and value area overlap, forming a strong technical base. Oversold RSI Signal Building:The Relative Strength Index is nearing oversold territory, suggesting a potential reversal may be near if price continues to decline. Volume Still Dry:Despite approaching support, there’s no significant increase in trading volume, limiting confidence in any immediate bounce. ADAUSDT (4H) Chart, Source: TradingView Detailed analysis Price action recently broke below the point of control and is now trending toward the value area low. While this lower zone has provided temporary support, overall market structure remains weak, and momentum continues downward. The $0.62 support stands out due to its convergence with the golden pocket of the current retracement move. If price reaches this level while RSI enters oversold conditions, it would signal a potentially favorable setup for a technical bounce. However, for any bounce to gain traction, confirmation through increased volume is essential. So far, low volume has made the correction appear slow and unconvincing, with little evidence of strong buyer interest. You might also like:Bitcoin consolidates below key resistance as lower timeframe trend develops Past retracements have also lacked significant bullish follow-through, which raises the stakes for how ADA reacts at this support level. A strong defense of $0.62 with rising volume could initiate a move back toward the upper range. Conversely, a clean break below this level could trigger further downside momentum. What to expect in the coming price action Cardano is approaching a critical decision point. A confirmed bounce at $0.62, supported by an oversold RSI and a noticeable uptick in volume, would support a near-term recovery. If this level fails, the door opens for an extended decline, especially if accompanied by an increase in bearish volume. Read more:Dow Jones drops 400 points as tariffs are back in focus
