Samson Mow: Halving and surge in spot ETF demand may push Bitcoin price to $1 million

According to Mars Finance, Jan3 CEO Samson Mow recently participated in a discussion about Bitcoin user privacy and the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto.

When talking about privacy and how it can be maintained, Mow referenced Satoshi Nakamoto’s vision for privacy in the Bitcoin whitepaper. Satoshi proposed a way to preserve privacy as an alternative to the banking model, “The traditional banking model achieves a certain level of privacy by limiting access to information to only interested parties and trusted third parties.” However, Satoshi proposed that Bitcoin could maintain privacy by keeping private keys anonymous. This way everyone can see that one party is sending funds to another, but the wallet will remain anonymous and transactions will not be associated with a specific individual.

In addition, Mow believes that the recent halving event coupled with a surge in demand for Bitcoin spot ETFs, when the supply shock meets the demand shock, may trigger the emergence of the Omega candle pattern, which is expected to push the Bitcoin price to the $1 million milestone.

Executive Director of the European Crypto Initiative: New rules under the MiCA framework may encourage large banks to enter the DeFi field

According to Mars Finance, Marina Markezic, executive director of the European Crypto Initiative, predicted in an interview that Europe's upcoming DeFi protocol rules may pose significant obstacles to crypto-native projects while encouraging licensed traditional financial institutions to join.

“We think the new rules under the MiCA framework could encourage large banks to enter the DeFi space,” Markezic said. “We know some banks are already considering issuing stablecoins. Whatever we’ve seen being developed over the years… now from an institutional perspective, it will definitely be harder for all crypto-native projects to get licensed and compliant.”

FTX creditor Sunil: The new CEO did not mention that FTX has 55 million SOL when he took over, and will oppose any plan of S&C

According to Mars Finance, FTX creditor Sunil Kavuri posted on the X platform that the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell (S&C) may propose an FTX plan that includes the following terms: exempting it from any crime; holding John Ray responsible, without accountability. He said that John Ray was not a victim, but he sent a victim impact statement to SBF that was full of misinformation and even lies. Not only did FTX not help with recovery, but it deliberately destroyed the (asset) value of creditors, and FTX creditors suffered losses of more than $10 billion. When the new CEO took over FTX, the platform had 105 bitcoins, but did not mention about 55 million Solana (SOL). Because SBF transferred funds, FTX's cryptocurrency was not on the FTX platform, and the Alameda backdoor caused this situation, which is why creditors cannot get their cryptocurrencies back. He said he would be 100% opposed to any plan, and so should FTX creditors.

Stargate V2 proposal has been approved by the community vote, which will introduce transaction batching and dynamic credit allocation

Mars Finance News, Snapshot page shows that the Stargate V2 proposal passed the Stargate community vote with 95.57% support. According to the proposal, Stargate V2 will introduce transaction batching and dynamic credit allocation (managed by the AI ​​planning module) to improve cross-chain efficiency and reduce cross-chain costs. In addition, Hydra was introduced as an extension of Stargate in the field of Bridging as a Service, which allows new chains to access unlimited liquidity on all Stargate chains. After obtaining DAO approval, the Stargate V2 protocol will be launched according to the following execution plan: - The incentives on the Stargate V1 pool should be gradually reduced, eventually falling to 0 after X time period; these pools must remain active for X months to ensure that applications built on Stargate can complete the migration to V2 before closing the channel. - The Stargate V2 protocol should be deployed on all chains approved by the DAO, with relevant assets attached. A list of these chains can be found in Appendix 2; this list has two notable changes compared to V1: a. All chains that have recently deployed a native USDC token (e.g. Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Base) will support this native token instead of the bridged USDC.e token. b. Klaytn will be the first supported Hydra chain, and future Hydra chains will be deployed in coordination with the Stargate Foundation. - Stargate should open the V2 liquidity pool for deposits within 48 hours before the scheduled launch date/time, and increase incentives before launch. - The first version of the AI ​​planning module has been built, and as V2 goes live, the AI ​​module will be trained on Stargate's rolling data from the previous period to optimize the following two aspects: a. Stargate should always be the cheapest bridge tool, and b. Stargate should maximize its protocol revenue. - Additional fees on Stargate V2 will continue to be attributed to the protocol/DAO as POL. - Stargate should deploy its own DVN managed by the Foundation and use it as a required signer for every Stargate message; Stargate should also use the Nethermind DVN for additional security verification.

Podcast: Is Ethena USDe the next UST? Where are the opportunities and risks?

This article analyzes the risks and benefits of the cryptocurrency project Ethena and its stablecoin USDe. USDe has funding, liquidation, custody, exchange failure and collateral risks, but it is still possible to participate. Ethena is the native stablecoin of Crypto Native, which has the potential to make money, but there are transparency issues. It is recommended to use USDe to mine ENA instead of buying it directly.
