Vitalik Buterin tells crypto community to focus on technology and avoid crypto fatigue

On December 4, a well-liked member of the community asked Vitalik Buterin a question and mentioned that after nine years they were sick of the scammers and fraudsters in the cryptocurrency world. At the moment, cryptocurrency is primarily used as a means of speculation, and that is where fraudsters prosper. A bank run that was sparked by significant overleveraging and lending resulted in the FTX meltdown. Buterin recommended putting technology and applications first and avoiding trading and investing. He said, “I’d recommend increasing your distance from trading/investing circles, and getting closer to the tech and application ecosystem.” He also suggested

US Senators are advancing a bill to enhance oversight of cryptocurrencies

The bipartisan authors of a Senate bill that would enhance oversight of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin that are regarded as digital commodities in the US intend to move forward with the legislation. The strongest industry supporter of the legislation, dubbed the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act, was embattled FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. The proposed legislation would increase the authority of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, one of the two U.S. market regulators, over cryptocurrency exchanges and markets. “The recent collapse of a major cryptocurrency exchange reinforces the urgent need for greater federal oversight of this industry,” Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie

Vitalik Buterin says crypto “needs time to mature” before full adoption

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, joined the ongoing discussion on cryptocurrency regulation over the weekend. Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of FTX, has come under fire for his opinions regarding DeFi regulation. After stating that it “feels unfair to let other people get attacked by CT but never actually poke my own head out,” Buterin made the decision to express his ideas. According to Vitalik, the cryptocurrency sector needs more time to develop before receiving more attention, so it shouldn’t be pursuing “large institutional capital at full speed.” The creator of Ethereum argued that the market needs to be “free

Over 62% of all transaction blocks on the Ethereum blockchain are compliant with OFAC sanctions

According to MEV Watch, 63% of all transaction blocks on the Ethereum blockchain are compliant with OFAC sanctions due to regulatory guidance. The most important driver is the widespread use of maximal extracted value relays, which reorder blocks of transactions to maximize rewards. Nonetheless, the metric is almost certain to fuel further debate about the use of MEV relays and the threat of transaction censorship on the publicly accessible Ethereum network. Flashbots, which said it would ignore transactions from the transaction mixing service Tornado Cash, which was sanctioned earlier this year by the US government, is the most widely used
