ECB Policymaker: US Support for Crypto Assets and Non-Bank Finance Sows Seeds of Future Turmoil
Odaily reported that Francois Villeroy de Galhau, a member of the European Central Bank's Governing Council, stated that the US's support for cryptocurrencies and non-bank finance could trigger the next financial emergency. In an interview with the French weekly magazine "Le Forum", he said: "The US may be committing a crime through negligence. Financial crises often originate in the US and spread to the rest of the world. By encouraging crypto assets and non-bank finance, the US government is sowing the seeds of future turmoil." Galhau added that European regulation is more secure and stated that the EU is not at risk of a banking crisis.
Odaily reported that Luiz Phillipe of Orleans-Braganza, a former federal deputy of Sao Paulo, Brazil, has submitted a bill to the Brazilian Congress seeking to legalize Bitcoin salary payments. This politician has proposed legislation to allow Brazilian workers to receive salaries and labor rights in the form of cryptocurrencies.
The bill aims to allow workers to receive up to 50% of their wages and benefits in digital assets. It is worth noting that the bill does not mandate the acceptance of Bitcoin, but rather provides a legal basis for residents who wish to engage with emerging technologies. With the employer's consent, employees can choose to receive their labor rights in Bitcoin, and can terminate this payment method at any time. The bill also stipulates that 50% of the salary must still be paid in Brazilian reais to ensure currency utility. However, this provision does not apply to freelancers, foreigners, and individual entrepreneurs, and these matters are regulated by the Central Bank of Brazil. The proposal needs to be approved by the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies and a majority vote before it can be considered by the Federal Senate for final deliberation.

Odaily reported that in response to the community's questions about Bybit's Launchpool project OIK token, Bybit co-founder and CEO Ben Zhou stated on the X platform: "The project's Launchpool activity budget gave us a total of 10 million tokens, of which 3.3 million have been distributed, with more than 90,000 users participating in the activity. The Launchpool is still ongoing and will be completed on March 19, with 5.7 million tokens remaining to be distributed. Bybit has never sold the activity budget to profit, as this would have serious legal consequences, and the budget is all in the hot wallet, which any regulatory authority can audit. Currently, it appears that there are large holders selling OIK in the market, and we are investigating the details in compliance. In the future, we will consider using an independent wallet to accept the project's budget, so that the community can transparently see the budget usage."
