Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that traditional banks face pain points in cross-border remittances such as high fees, slow speeds, and multiple intermediaries, while stablecoins can enable instant, low-cost peer-to-peer transactions.He pointed out that in Turkey, locals are more inclined to hold digital dollars to avoid the risk of local currency depreciation. He believes that in the future, software tools based on open internet infrastructure are expected to compete with traditional banks, but banks may also transform by integrating blockchain technology.

Hester M. Peirce, a commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, stated that a research initiative for a "regulatory exemption" for tokenized securities has been launched, allowing limited trading and technical experimentation for certain tokenized securities. This exemption plan will be more cautious than the "comprehensive exemption" proposed by the industry.She believes it is worth exploring whether different types of tokenization models for securities can be tested under the innovation exemption framework and whether issuer consent is needed for third parties to issue tokenized versions of their stocks, in order to promote technological innovation while avoiding regulatory arbitrage and maintaining core investor protection mechanisms.Hester M. Peirce also emphasized that regulators should not overly interfere with private capital allocation. The SEC is currently assessing several key issues, including: whether the existing information disclosure system is sufficient to cover the ownership structure of tokenized securities, the disclosure obligations of brokers and clearing agencies in the issuance of tokenized securities, the compatibility of atomic settlement with the current T+1 settlement rules, and the applicability of regulatory authority in the absence of intermediaries or under new intermediary structures.

The Trump family's crypto project WLFI community voted to approve the "Governance Staking System" proposal, with a support rate of 99.12%. The proposal includes encouraging active participation in WLFI governance; requiring unstaked WLFI tokens to be staked to participate in governance voting (staked tokens continue to have voting rights) with a minimum lock-up period of 180 days; rewarding governance participants; establishing a tiered node structure, incentivizing long-term committed participants through USD1 stablecoin; and prioritizing partner trading flows towards projects that support WLFI governance and ecology.The tiered node structure includes: nodes (with a staking threshold of 10 million WLFI, enjoying all basic staking rights and the OTC rights to convert stablecoins like USDT/USDC to USD1 at a 1:1 rate through licensed market makers) and super nodes (with a staking threshold of 50 million WLFI, enjoying all node rights and ensuring direct contact with some members of the WLFI team). WLFI stated that Trump and his family members will not participate in this direct contact arrangement.

Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, proposing a tool to enhance personal security and provide low-cost protection for civil liberties, which is that everyone should have an easy and "deniable" way to report emergencies.For example, by pre-setting a few secret words, when a watch, phone, or home device hears these words, it automatically dials 911 silently and transmits the location to the police in real-time. This is particularly effective for cryptocurrency holders who are concerned about being kidnapped or robbed.Vitalik stated that if the environment can ensure that there is at least a 20% chance the police will arrive immediately when a robbery occurs, and the robber cannot detect whether the alarm has been triggered, then such crimes will become unfeasible due to the high risk involved. Since this feature requires the victim to take action for it to operate, the risk of it being misused by the government for mass surveillance is relatively low.

The official Ethereum team stated on the X platform that privacy within the Ethereum ecosystem is undergoing a transformation, and it could even be described as a renaissance. Ethereum originated from the cypherpunk movement, which has been part of the struggle for digital rights through open-source technology for decades, with the foundation of this struggle being the protection of privacy rights, meaning that users' online activities should not be repackaged and used for commercial purposes. Cypherpunk signifies a commitment to resisting censorship, open source, privacy, and security (abbreviated as CROPS).The new cypherpunk is a contemporary collaborative concept that upholds cultural values such as permissionless, privacy, decentralization, anti-censorship, trustlessness, and open source. It is oriented towards positive-sum games but rooted in a realistic political understanding of self-defense. Today's Ethereum embodies the new cypherpunk, modernizing traditional interpretations. This is cypherpunk with an Ethereum twist!The new cypherpunk is part of Eric Hughes' legacy, who is a paradigm of the deepest understanding of how to achieve privacy within the cypherpunk community. At the end of 2023, Vitalik called on the community to "revitalize Ethereum cypherpunk," and now may be the best time to become advocates for privacy within the Ethereum ecosystem.

The National Tax Service of Korea (NTS) announced on Thursday that it has begun constructing a tracking system for cryptocurrency investment gains, aimed at supporting the government's expansionary fiscal policy and the need to increase fiscal revenue.The system's construction comes just before the government's plan to tax profits from virtual assets starting in January next year. According to the announcement, the NTS has tendered for the "Comprehensive System for Virtual Asset Transaction Analysis," a project published on the electronic bidding platform by the Public Procurement Service, responsible for government and public institution procurement, with a budget of 3 billion won (approximately 202,000 USD). According to the plan, the winning bidder will be selected and contracted within this month, with system design starting in April, followed by multiple rounds of testing before entering a trial operation phase in November, and is expected to officially launch within the year.The NTS stated that the system will start collecting individual virtual asset transaction data from 2027, systematically managing and analyzing vast amounts of transaction information to more effectively detect tax evasion, including identifying hidden income of tax delinquents through tax audits.Notably, the NTS plans to incorporate artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to analyze and track abnormal transaction types and patterns. Additionally, relevant virtual asset analysis data and lists of suspects will be shared with other government departments such as the Korea Customs Service, the Statistics Korea, and the Bank of Korea.According to Korean tax law, starting in January next year, the portion of annual income from virtual assets exceeding 2.5 million won will be subject to a comprehensive tax rate of 22% (including 20% income tax and 2% local income tax).

According to The Block, Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the U.S. Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets, stated on the X platform that stablecoins compliant with the GENIUS Act framework will actually bring deposit inflows to the U.S. banking system, rather than siphoning off deposits as warned by the banking industry.Witt pointed out that there is a huge global demand for the U.S. dollar, with foreigners exchanging local currencies for stablecoins issued by U.S. entities, which means new net capital is entering the U.S. banking system. Earlier this month, Witt also mentioned that paying yields on balances does not necessarily require bank-like regulation; what truly needs regulation is the lending or re-collateralization of the dollars that make up the balances, and the GENIUS Act explicitly prohibits stablecoin issuers from engaging in the latter.
