Coinbase 的 Base L2 在 NFT 和 DeFi 中的市场份额正在增长

卡罗琳·范表示，CFTC 将通过与加密行业领导者举办一系列圆桌会议来“回归本源”，以解决监管痛点。 1 月 27 日，商品期货交易委员会代理主席 Caroline Pham 表示，随着美国转向更大程度地采用加密货币，该监管机构计划与数字资产利益相关者合作，讨论市场结构和预测市场。 范表示，CFTC“必须采取前瞻性的方式”来解决上一届政府留下的利益冲突和政策漏洞。 创新和新技术推动了市场的复兴，为更多人带来了新机遇，但同时也带来了风险。CFTC 将回归本源，举办员工圆桌会议，利用研究、数据、专家报告和公众意见制定完善的管理记录。 Caroline Pham，CFTC 代理主席 Pham 决定将预测市场纳入圆桌会议，这可能会再次引发人们对 CFTC 对该行业的立场的猜测。此前，前任主席 Rostin Behnam 批评了预测市场，称其损害了公众利益。 去年年底，Polymarket 和 Kalshi 等预测市场开始崭露头角。这些平台允许用户对现实世界的结果下注，成为受欢迎的选举数据来源，准确预测了大选和其他几场竞选的获胜者。 你可能还喜欢：Crypto.com 在马耳他获得 MiCA 许可证 CFTC 此前起诉 Kalshi 停止其政治博彩合约，最初在法庭上胜诉。然而，Kalshi 最终获得法院批准，向美国客户推出其总统选举结果市场。值得注意的是，截至本文发表时，Polymarket 仍未向美国用户开放。 范在向 CFTC 发表的声明中表示，圆桌讨论将持续数月，以使机构职责与行业发展保持一致。 上周，唐纳德·特朗普总统任命范担任监管委员会主席，这是美国政府为彻底改变美国市场监管机构根深蒂固的反加密货币情绪所采取的第一步官方举措。在担任代理主席期间，贝纳姆将于 2 月 7 日正式离职。特朗普尚未宣布贝纳姆的继任者人选，目前尚不清楚范将担任代理主席多长时间。 新闻 特朗普支持 Caroline Pham 担任 CFTC 代理主席

特朗普宣布增加加密货币储备后，加密货币市场仅一天后就再次下跌。以下是加密货币今天下跌的原因。 根据 crypto.news 的数据，过去 24 小时内，市值最大的六种代币的价值均有所下跌，跌幅从 7% 到 20% 不等。 加密货币整体市值暴跌 10.4% 至 28 亿美元。就在前一天，在唐纳德·特朗普总统重申致力于建立国家加密货币储备并纳入主要代币后，加密货币市值飙升至 32 亿美元。这让许多交易员想知道，为什么加密货币在昨天上涨后今天却下跌了。 3 月 3 日，比特币 (BTC) 成功摆脱早前的低迷，突破 93,000 美元。然而，截至发稿时，市值最大的加密货币已下跌近 10%。目前交易价格为 83,180 美元，较昨日的最高价下跌近 10,000 美元。 卡尔达诺 (ADA) 遭受了最严重的损失，跌幅超过 20%，至仅 0.81 美元。而就在前一天，ADA 被列入特朗普的加密储备名单，足以推动该代币上涨，卡尔达诺上涨超过 75%，至 1.13 美元的高位。 The top tokens by market cap have plummeted in the past 24 hours, March 4, 2025 | Source: crypto.news You might also like:CryptoQuant 首席执行官称特朗普将加密货币变成了“美国的武器” 接下来是 Solana (SOL)，在过去 24 小时内下跌了 16% 以上。目前交易价为 135.97 美元。昨天，由于特朗普在 Truth Social 帖子中提到了该代币，该代币上涨了 20%。 以太坊 (ETH) 和 XRP (XRP) 也遭遇了类似的损失，在过去一个交易日中，这两种代币都下跌了约 13%。昨天，ETH 飙升了 11%，而 XRP 则飙升了 28%。XRP 甚至成功超越 USDT (USDT)，成为市值排名前三的加密货币。 即使是在上次加密货币市场崩盘期间相对处于安全区域的币安币 (BNB)，在过去 24 小时内也下跌了 7.06%。BNB 目前的交易价格为 564.30 美元。 不仅如此，根据 Kobeissi Letter 的数据，与特朗普宣布美国加密货币储备之前相比，加密货币市场现在的价值已缩水 1000 亿美元。 Why crypto is down today after the U.S. crypto reserve announcement 尽管唐纳德·特朗普宣布建立加密储备的计划为加密市场提供了重大提振，但这只是一次短暂的反弹，因为后来受到特朗普关税担忧等事件的影响，技术性抛售和更广泛的避险情绪扭转了这一势头。 特朗普总统宣布对加拿大、墨西哥和中国征收新关税，加剧了全球贸易紧张局势。这种宏观经济不确定性并没有促使投资者涌向加密货币等“避险”资产来保护他们的资金，反而产生了相反的效果。投资者现在对投资加密货币等风险资产持谨慎态度，他们可能认为这些资产的波动性更大，因为最近 2 月 24 日的崩盘仍记忆犹新。 不仅如此，分析师还指出，关键技术水平，例如 CME 期货的大幅缺口，目前正在触发自动卖单。这些技术压力加速了加密货币市场的下滑。 此外，在市场波动加剧的背景下，企业投资者正在重新平衡投资组合。这种避险立场的转变进一步压低了价格。 你可能还喜欢：Crypto market cap falls over 8% to $2.7t after recent crypto crash

前华尔街高管理查德·金 (Richard Kim) 因涉嫌从区块链在线赌场初创公司 ZeroEdge 的投资者手中挪用超过 400 万美元而被捕，并被指控犯有电信欺诈和证券欺诈罪。 根据联邦调查局特工托马斯·麦奎尔在纽约南区提交的一份宣誓书，金曾担任高盛和摩根大通全球外汇和新兴市场交易的首席运营官，于 2024 年 3 月创立了 Zero Edge。 他将该公司推销为一家加密货币赌场，提供链上游戏、名为“FAITH”的虚拟货币以及名为“$RNG”的可交易代币。 从 2024 年 3 月到 6 月，Kim 通过种子融资和代币销售筹集了大约 430 万美元，向投资者介绍了包括智能合约、赌场游戏机制以及遵守游戏和证券法规在内的发展路线图。 您可能还喜欢：Galaxy Digital 提出新的投票框架以降低 Solana 通胀 资金挪用 然而，检察官指控金歪曲了投资者资金的使用情况，并将资金挪用于未经授权的用途，包括投机性加密货币交易。 The FBI’s investigation revealed that Kim had promised in formal agreements and token sale documents that the funds would go exclusively toward building the platform.  至少有一位投资者告诉当局，如果他们知道这些资金实际上是金的个人贷款，他们就不会投资。 Kim 还引用了 Greenberg Traurig 等公司的法律评论，以向投资者保证监管合规性。 但根据投诉，一些关键协议从未得到完全执行，或者被修改以取消有关财务透明度和内部控制的义务。 根据联邦证券法第18条规定，金面临电信欺诈和证券欺诈指控。该案件仍在调查中。 您可能还喜欢：Elon Musk’s child proposal to Tiffany Fong — and the events leading up to it

Ripple’s attempt to finalize a settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been halted after a federal judge dismissed their joint request as procedurally flawed.  The decision, issued by Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on May 15, was first shared by attorney James Filan on X, who also posted the accompanying court documents. Filan noted that Judge Torres had “denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling.”  The motion was deemed “procedurally improper” because it wasn’t filed under Rule 60, which requires proof of exceptional circumstances when modifying a final ruling. #XRPCommunity #SECGov v. #Ripple #XRP Judge Torres has denied the parties’ motion for an indicative ruling. “If jurisdiction were restored to this Court, the Court would deny the parties’ motion as procedurally improper.” pic.twitter.com/4s95ILvzsy— James K. Filan 🇺🇸🇮🇪 (@FilanLaw) May 15, 2025 The rejected motion, filed on May 8, sought to dissolve an injunction and reduce a $125 million civil penalty to $50 million. Both parties had agreed to the deal as part of a broader effort to settle the case during ongoing appeals. However, the judge’s ruling effectively blocks that plan unless the motion is refiled correctly.

Nothing in today’s order changes Ripple’s wins (i.e. XRP is not a security, etc). This is about procedural concerns with the dismissal of Ripple’s cross-appeal. Ripple and the SEC are fully in agreement to resolve this case and will revisit this issue with the Court, together. https://t.co/vBQdBD3FNe— Stuart Alderoty (@s_alderoty) May 15, 2025 Commenting on the setback, attorney Fred Rispoli added that both sides now have to “do it the hard, messy way” by formally requesting relief under the appropriate legal rule. The SEC sued Ripple in 2020 for allegedly selling XRP as an unregistered security, sparking the start of a protracted legal battle. The SEC won a partial decision in 2023 that ruled that institutional sales qualified as securities. However, it was decided that retail sales did not violate security laws. The delay has shaken market sentiment. XRP fell about 7% over the last day, while CoinGlass data indicates a 9.4% drop in open interest to $4.93 billion. As traders responded to the court’s ruling and the uncertainty it created, long positions worth over $21 million were liquidated. Traders are keeping a close eye on XRP’s next move as it retests support at $2.36. Read more:New XRP ETF reaches $67m AUM as price outperforms Ripple

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket—an idiom Tether seemingly takes to heart. In just two days this April, the stablecoin giant unveiled two major moves: teaming up with Bitfinex, SoftBank, and Cantor Fitzgerald to launch a Bitcoin-focused public company, Twenty One Capital, and increasing its ownership stake in Italian football club Juventus to over 10%. These announcements mark just the latest steps in Tether’s aggressive push to diversify beyond its flagship USDT stablecoin. This strategy could prove critical as regulatory pressure mounts across major markets. USDT Tether launched the USDT stablecoin in 2014. It soon became the biggest stablecoin issuer, while USDT grew into one of the five biggest cryptocurrencies in market cap. At one point, USDT was a leading token in terms of trading volume. At different times, it was accountable for 50% to 80% of all Bitcoin trades. Moreover, USDT plays a vital role in cryptocurrency onboarding, as many crypto exchanges don’t have fiat-to-crypto and crypto-to-fiat pairs. USDT is a USD substitute, providing a predictable trading instrument aligned with the USD value.  Companies also execute cross-border payments using USDT, which is backed by the U.S. Treasury bills. And Tether holds most of them. Last year, Tether bought $33.1 billion worth of the U.S. Treasury securities. It made the company the seventh biggest foreign net buyer, surpassing Mexico, Canada, Taiwan, and many other countries.  Tether was the 7th largest buyer of U.S. Treasuries in 2024, compared to Countries 🤯 pic.twitter.com/fEANUL3fb2— Paolo Ardoino 🤖 (@paoloardoino) March 20, 2025 Read more:El Salvador ends Bitcoin as legal tender — Here’s why it didn’t work Tether abroad Initially registered in the British Islands, Tether, as of January, moved its headquarters to El Salvador — the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Shortly after Tether relocated to El Salvador, the local Congress killed Bitcoin’s status as legal tender. Moreover, USDT remains a viable payment instrument for regions with low debit card penetration or for sanctioned jurisdictions. In Africa, USDT has a dual purpose: It serves as an asset for savings and as a remittance instrument. Countries like Russia and Iran use USDT, alongside other cryptocurrencies, in foreign trade to dodge sanctions. Still, Tether’s stablecoin is experiencing legal crash tests in real time. For instance, the refusal to follow the Markets in Crypto Assets law regulating crypto in the European Union resulted in the removal of USDT from Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, and Crypto.com for EU customers.  In addition, emerging crypto regulation in the U.S. may lead to a ban on USDT (President Trump’s cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial, plans to sell its own stablecoin). To mediate this problem, Tether is considering a new stablecoin that would align with new regulations. Legal scrutiny Last year, U.S. investigator alleged that Tether participated in money laundering and violation of sanctions. CEO Paolo Ardoino denies these accusations. “At Tether, we deal regularly and directly with law enforcement officials to help prevent rogue nations, terrorists and criminals from misusing USDt,” Ardoino wrote in October. “We would know if we are being investigated as the article falsely claimed. Based on that, we can confirm that the allegations in the article are unequivocally false.” See below. At Tether, we deal regularly and directly with law enforcement officials to help prevent rogue nations, terrorists and criminals from misusing USDt. We would know if we are being investigated as the article falsely claimed. Based on that, we can confirm that the allegations in…— Paolo Ardoino 🤖 (@paoloardoino) October 25, 2024 Losing markets like the EU and the U.S. would have severely damaged Tether. However, the company has a lot more to offer than USDT, so business diversification may cushion these challenges. Other ventures In addition to stablecoins, Tether counts Bitcoin mining among its segments. For example, the company owns 21% of Bitdeer, mines crypto in Uruguay, and joined an effort to build a $1-billion Bitcoin mining farm in El Salvador called “Volcano Energy.” The major plans for expanding Bitcoin mining ventures were announced back in 2023 when Tether outlined that it was going to invest $500 million in Bitcoin mining, including a company, Northern Data AG, and building mining facilities in three countries. Tether holds a 20% stake in Northern Data after buying 10,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, chips popular among AI developers. These chips are rented out to AI startups. As of April, it’s not clear if the company followed this plan or took a different path. Tether also has interests in artificial intelligence, resulting in a strategic $200 million investment in brain-computer-interface Blackrock Neurotech. The company is one of the world’s neuro-prosthetic leaders, and Tether became its majority stakeholder.  Tether invested $775 million in Rumble, a video platform known for its far-right audience, and backs Fizen, a payment service and self-custody wallet company. It also launched Holepunch, which helps to develop software without the need for servers. Other projects talked about by Ardoino on social media that have yet to be adequately introduced include a tokenization platform and power kiosks in Africa with educational materials on cryptocurrency. So even if USDT faces a ban in multiple jurisdictions, Tether isn’t a one-trick pony, although critics warn that Tether’s use of customers’ funds to make these hefty investments may end badly. Ardoino, according to Forbes, sees it this way: “It’s good to have resilient money, but if you only have resilient money and everything else is centralized, it can be destroyed quickly. One of our mottos is ‘build for the apocalypse’.” Read more:Tether revenue nears $1.5 billion as Ethereum languishes below $200M
