Fed Vice Chairman of Supervision: Fed takes a neutral stance on cryptocurrencies
FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett published an article revealing that the outgoing Fed Michael Barr gave a speech on bank decentralization and crypto regulation at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York this afternoon. Barr said the Fed tried to take a "neutral" stance on the above issues. The Fed's expectation is that they conduct business in a safe and sound manner and comply with consumer laws, anti-money laundering laws, and anti-terrorist financing laws. If they do this, we have no objection. "The Fed has a novel regulatory program designed to supervise institutions in this field to ensure that we have the expertise to execute this field correctly. Some institutions are doing this, while some institutions are doing it wrong and getting into trouble, either because of anti-money laundering, bank secrecy law issues, or because they can't meet the liquidity needs of their customers, and then they go bankrupt. So, at least for me, this is just straight-up mid-level risk management and banking. If you do it right, you can do it. If you don't do it right, then you shouldn't do it. " Barr also said that he had never seen evidence of customers having their bank accounts canceled because of their political views.

3. A trader sniped TRUMP coins and made a profit of 109 million US dollars. The correlation on the chain raised questions about insider trading
Golden Finance reported that the blockchain data platform Bubblemaps and the well-known YouTuber A joint investigation by Coffeezilla showed that a trader named Naseem made a profit of $109 million in TRUMP token transactions through "sniping". On-chain data showed that Naseem bought tokens for $1.09 million within the first second of TRUMP's launch, paid $84,000 in priority transaction fees, and then dispersed the funds to at least 9 wallets. Bubblemaps pointed out that although insider trading cannot be fully confirmed, the high correlation of multiple on-chain addresses is "not negligible". Naseem denied receiving internal information, saying that his team speculated on the launch time by observing the interaction of Meteora's funding pool.
1.Vitalik: There is no so-called "ETH 3.0" at present
Golden Finance reported that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article stating that there is no so-called "ETH 3.0" at present. Although the five-year plan proposed by Justin Drake is often mistaken for ETH 3.0, the plan only involves the consensus layer, not the execution layer. Regarding the relationship between L1 and L2, Vitalik pointed out that there is a clear roadmap, including improving L1 performance (increasing gas limit, introducing Verkle tree, etc.), enhancing cross-L2 interoperability and optimizing blob space. Vitalik stressed that the top priority is to enhance L1 performance, ensure that transactions that should occur on L1 can proceed smoothly, expand the scale of blobs, and maintain the adaptability of the Ethereum community.
2.Vitalik: Ethereum L1 and L2 need to clearly define the scope of transactions
On February 19, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin responded to the question of "Is rollups generally good for Ethereum or bloodsucking, and does ETH really need these L2s" and said that Ethereum currently uses a hybrid L1 + L2 expansion solution, but it is still necessary to clearly define the scope of transactions for each L1 and L2 layer. Vitalik said that moving all transactions to L2 may weaken ETH's position as a medium of exchange and a store of value, and cross-L2 operations still need to rely on L1. At the same time, keeping all transactions on L1 is not feasible, because this may lead to centralization and cannot meet the unlimited growth of on-chain transaction needs. It is necessary to find the right balance between these two extremes to provide users with the best solution.
