Circle brings USDC to XRP Ledger in major stablecoin expansion post-IPO

Lagrange, the native token tied to the Lagrange Foundation, skyrocketed by as much as 528% on June 5 after securing listings on several top-tier crypto exchanges, including Binance Alpha, Coinbase, and KuCoin. According to data from CoinGecko, Lagrange (LA) surged to an intraday high of $1.57 in afternoon Asian trading, pushing its market cap above $265 million at the time of writing. The massive rally came hot on the heels of Lagrange’s token generation event held on June 4. The TGE was paired with a flurry of exchange listings, not just on big names like Coinbase and KuCoin, but also on Bybit, MEXC, HTX, Bithumb, Bitget, and Binance Alpha. As with most token launches, the availability of LA across multiple exchanges significantly boosted liquidity and drew in a wider base of investors. That surge in demand helped fuel the token’s explosive price jump. According to Lagrange’s tokenomics, the total supply of 1 billion LA is distributed across key areas to support its ecosystem.  About 34.78% goes to the community and ecosystem, 25.39% is reserved for contributors, 18.54% was allocated to early Investors, and the foundation holds 11.30%. The remaining 10% was distributed via a community airdrop.

All airdropped tokens were fully unlocked on claim day, which led to some short-term selling pressure as recipients rushed to take profits. But many buyers quickly stepped in to scoop up the dip, confident in the project’s long-term potential. It’s worth noting that Binance has yet to list LA on its spot trading platform. The exchange typically lists crypto assets added to its Alpha platform after they’ve demonstrated strong market traction, consistent trading volume, and community demand. Retail interest in LA is already visible when looking at Google Trends, with the search term “Langrange crypto” trending at the time of publication. What is Lagrange? Lagrange is a zero-knowledge (ZK) cryptography project designed to power decentralized proof generation and cross-chain data computation at scale. Two core protocols that enable this include the ZK Prover Network and the ZK Coprocessor. The ZK Coprocessor acts as a middleware layer, allowing smart contracts to request off-chain computations on large datasets and validate the results on-chain through zero-knowledge proofs. This enables complex data queries without compromising privacy or decentralization. Complementing this is the ZK Prover Network, a decentralized system of independent provers responsible for generating the cryptographic proofs that power these computations. Together, the two components allow Lagrange to deliver trust-minimized, verifiable data infrastructure across blockchains. The LA token plays a central role in this system. It’s used to pay for proof generation, subsidize prover costs, and allows users to stake and delegate to support the network’s operation and security. Since its founding in 2022, Lagrange Labs, the core development team behind the Lagrange protocol, has partnered with major crypto players like EigenLayer, Coinbase’s Base, LayerZero, and Frax Finance, among others. These integrations have positioned Lagrange as a key player in the ZK infrastructure space. In May 2024, the startup raised $13.2 million in seed funding led by Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund. Other notable backers include Archetype Ventures, 1kx, Maven11, Fenbushi Capital, Volt Capital, and the Mantle Ecosystem Fund, all betting big on Lagrange’s vision of scalable, secure, cross-chain data infrastructure.

4月21日，随着越来越多的投资者在经济不确定性的背景下涌向避险资产，金价飙升至3390美元以上。金价上涨可能预示着加密货币（尤其是比特币）也将出现类似的走势。 根据Trading Economics的最新数据，在全球经济动荡的背景下，金价创下历史新高。4月21日，金价上涨2%，远超3,390美元的关口，并在UTC时间7:30左右一度触及3,395美元的高点。分析师预测，金价上涨可能是由于全球贸易紧张局势加剧以及美元走弱所致。 就在一周前，唐纳德·特朗普总统下令对美国关键矿产进口可能征收的新关税展开调查。这标志着美国与其他国家（尤其是中国）之间的贸易争端显著升级。此外，随着美元跌至三年低点，投资者开始对传统法定货币失去信心。 另一方面，黄金价格的飙升可能预示着加密货币市场即将迎来牛市。交易员们注意到，黄金和比特币（BTC）的价格通常息息相关，因为它们都是“避险”资产。 2024 年 4 月 21 日，比特币和黄金在市场上的走势对比价格图 | 来源：TradingView 您可能还喜欢：代币化黄金现货和期货交易即将登陆 Bitget 钱包 In fact, on the same day, Bitcoin reached a new monthly-high of $87,570. At press time, BTC has gone up more than 3.2% in the past 24 hours of trading. It is currently trading hands at $87,538. The last time BTC reached above $87,400 was back in March 28, before it experienced a slump in early April. What is the historical relationship between gold and crypto? 比特币经常被市场交易员和投资者比作“数字黄金”。美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔表示，比特币之所以成为黄金的竞争对手，是因为这两种资产都被用作价值储存手段，而非支付方式。 同样，ARK Investment Management 的创始人兼首席执行官 Cathie Wood 预测，随着时间的推移，比特币 2 万亿美元的市值终有一天可能会超过黄金的 15 万亿美元。尽管黄金存在的时间更长，但显然它花了更长的时间才达到 2 万亿美元，而比特币只用了 15 年。 伍德表示：“黄金价格达到 2,700 美元时，其市场规模已达 15 万亿美元，而比特币的市场规模仅为 2 万亿美元。即使突破 10 万美元，比特币仍处于早期阶段。” 从历史上看，黄金市场的积极走势往往会导致比特币价格在不久之后上涨。除了这两种资产都被视为保护投资者免受传统法定货币波动影响的“避风港”之外，它们的供应量也都是有限的，需要开采。 尽管存在这些相似之处，彭博社的一项分析发现，黄金的波动率仍然远低于比特币；黄金的年波动率约为 10% 至 20%，而比特币的波动率通常超过 50%。尽管情况可能如此，但分析师也指出，比特币的宏观趋势往往会在几个月内跟随黄金的走势。 You might also like:Gold hits new all-time-high at $2,700 amidst bullish Bitcoin

北卡罗来纳州立法者提出了一项法案，允许公民使用加密资产进行经济交易，包括纳税。 众议院第920号法案由州众议员尼尔·杰克逊发起，旨在允许使用加密资产进行纳税和其他经济交易。该法案一旦颁布成为法律，将自动成为《北卡罗来纳州数字资产自由法案》。 该法案指出：“大会发现，数字资产如果得到适当的监管，并符合去中心化、安全性和弹性原则，可以成为有效且稳定的经济交换媒介。” 根据北卡罗来纳州的草案，并非所有加密资产都可以用于纳税和其他经济交易。相关数字资产必须满足草案中规定的一系列要求，才有资格获得批准。 草案中概述的主要要求之一是，加密资产的当前市值必须至少达到 7500 亿美元，且每日交易量超过 100 亿美元。该资产还必须在多家受监管的美国交易所上市。 仅在此要求下，唯一通过此门槛的主要加密货币是比特币（BTC），其市值为 1.6 万亿美元，每日交易量为 450 亿美元。 您可能还喜欢：纽约众议员提交法案，探讨如何将区块链技术应用于美国选举 以太坊的市值和每日交易量不符合北卡罗来纳州法案规定的公民可用于纳税的加密资产的要求，2025 年 4 月 11 日 | 来源：crypto.news 即使是市值第二大的加密货币以太坊（ETH），也不符合该法案规定的纳税资格要求。ETH 目前的市值为 1880 亿美元，而其每日交易量为 200 亿美元。 尽管如此，如果该法案确实获得通过，其他加密货币仍有可能随着时间的推移积累更大的市值和每日交易量。 除了保证流动性和市场深度外，北卡罗来纳州的法案还规定，符合条件的数字资产必须在开放、无需许可的市场中运营至少10年，且没有外部干预或政府支持。此外，该资产的发行也应不受预挖、内部人员配置或中央机构控制的影响。 不仅如此，代币的持续运营或治理不得依赖单一实体、基金会或一小群内部人士。此外，它还必须被美国证券交易委员会（SEC）和商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）等美国监管机构认定为商品而非证券型代币。 据 crypto.news 此前报道，北卡罗来纳州近期提出两项法案，允许独立投资机构将最多 5% 的养老基金投资于数字资产，包括加密货币、稳定币和 NFT。 阅读更多：North Carolina lawmakers propose bills to allocate up to 5% of pension funds’ balance to crypto

前众议员亚当金辛格 (Adam Kinzinger) 反驳了加密货币可以偿还美国国债的想法，他认为虽然区块链在政府和金融领域有实际应用，但比特币并不是实现经济稳定的可行解决方案。 在盛宝银行最近为纪念唐纳德·特朗普总统上任 30 天而举办的一次采访中，crypto.news 被邀请提交问题。金辛格强调，虽然加密货币可能在金融体系中发挥着作用，但它并不是解决国家债务问题的解决方案。 “加密货币会发挥作用吗？是的，”金辛格说。“加密货币最终会成为所有货币的终极目标吗？不，我不这么认为。” 金辛格认为，即使比特币（BTC）达到一些支持者所声称的每枚比特币 500 万美元的超高价格预测，它也不会成为减少国家债务的现实工具。 “也许我错了。也许我老了，”金辛格说。“也许我只是对此了解不够，但通常来说，政府能够控制自己的货币，包括自主权、利率、何时注入更多现金、何时撤出，这些都很重要。” 他指出，完全用比特币或任何加密货币偿还债务可能会导致严重的通货膨胀，破坏经济稳定而不是修复经济。 “认为加密货币会增长并偿还国家债务，而不会引发大规模通胀的想法根本不可能实现。看看吧，美国国家债务，甚至可能是世界各国的债务，在我们的有生之年都不会还清。这是不可能的。” Instead of focusing on eliminating the debt, Kinzinger believes the priority should be slowing its trajectory and reducing the deficit. He argued that maintaining faith in America’s credit is key to long-term financial stability.

Overall, blockchain holds significant potential. “But on the larger theory, I think it plays a very important role and is something we shouldn’t look down on because what I’ve learned in my almost 47 years of living is anywhere an application exists that it works in one place.” Despite recognizing blockchain’s potential, Kinzinger remained skeptical about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies replacing traditional financial systems or serving as tools for national debt reduction. Instead, he sees blockchain as a technology that enhances existing systems rather than revolutionizing them entirely.
