According to Foresight News, Mina has entered into a partnership with investment firm Mirae Asset Financial Group. The collaboration between Mina Foundation and Mirae Asset Financial Group aims to develop privacy-enhanced Security Token Offering (STO) solutions on the Mina blockchain using zero-knowledge proofs. This initiative is designed to promote the adoption of real-world assets (RWA) in the blockchain space.
The system comprises two main components. The first component involves preprocessing security tokens stored on a private ledger using ZK Rollup technology and exporting selected data to a public blockchain. The second component, zkApp, calculates the commitments of the STO and allows users to create privacy-enhanced proofs. This dual approach aims to ensure both the security and privacy of the transactions, thereby fostering greater trust and adoption of blockchain-based asset management solutions.#Mina #MiraeAsset #PrivacySTO #SecurityTokenOffering #Blockchain #ZeroKnowledgeProofs #RealWorldAssets #ZKRollup #AssetManagement #PrivacyEnhancement #MINA
🚀 Ethereum Foundation's Financial Reserves Estimated To Last A Decade
#Ethereum #EthereumFoundation #FinancialReserves #JustinDrake #CryptoFinance #Blockchain #AMA #FinancialLongevity #EthereumPrices #ETH
According to Odaily, Justin Drake from the Ethereum Foundation recently addressed questions regarding the organization's financial longevity during an AMA session. When asked about the duration for which the Ethereum Foundation's current funds would last, Drake provided detailed insights into their financial status.
Drake revealed that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) is set to release its financial report soon. He stated that the EF's annual expenditure is approximately $100 million. Based on current prices, the main Ethereum wallet of the EF holds around $650 million. Additionally, the EF has a reserve of fiat currency, which can cover several years of operational costs. Drake noted that this is the part he is least familiar with. He also mentioned that, as Aya pointed out, Ethereum sales were temporarily halted due to regulatory reasons, and the reserves have only recently been replenished. Rough estimates suggest that the foundation has about ten years' worth of financial reserves. However, this reserve is subject to change based on the fluctuations in Ethereum's price.#Ethereum #EthereumFoundation #FinancialReserves #JustinDrake #CryptoFinance #Blockchain #AMA #FinancialLongevity #EthereumPrices #ETH

🚀 Ethereum Foundation Researchers Discuss Blob Fee Mechanism
#Ethereum #BlobFeeMechanism #PriceDiscovery #Congestion #DataAvailability #Rollups #MarketCompetition #EthereumProtocol #Scaling #CoreResearcher #ETH
According to BlockBeats, on September 5, Ethereum Foundation core researcher Davide Crapis addressed a question during the 12th Ethereum Foundation AMA regarding whether the target average for blobs should be lowered to ensure fee price discovery if the target is not met. Crapis responded that the target should not be lowered. He explained that the mechanism is designed to price congestion, so if there is no congestion, it is acceptable for prices to remain low. However, he noted that current demand being far below the target value affects price discovery during congestion. Crapis emphasized the importance of price discovery and suggested that making the mechanism more effective through short-term changes, such as increasing the minimum fee (while keeping it very low) or altering the update speed, could be beneficial.
Another core researcher, Dankrad Feist, commented on the same issue, stating that Ethereum is currently creating a new market for rollups, specifically the data availability (DA) market. He mentioned that many alternative solutions, such as Celestia, Eigenlayer, and Avail, aim to capture market share from Ethereum. These alternatives cannot compete on security, so they aim to compete on price. Feist asserted that the revenue from three blobs per block will never significantly impact Ethereum's protocol revenue. He believes that in the coming years, efforts should be made to scale as much as possible. Regardless of the approach, Feist does not consider blob fees to be the best value capture mechanism for Ethereum.#Ethereum #BlobFeeMechanism #PriceDiscovery #Congestion #DataAvailability #Rollups #MarketCompetition #EthereumProtocol #Scaling #CoreResearcher #ETH

🚀 Macron Appoints Michel Barnier As New Prime Minister

According to CoinDesk, French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Michel Barnier as the new prime minister, replacing Gabriel Attal. This decision follows the country's snap election in July, which resulted in no party gaining overall control of the National Assembly.
Barnier, 73, is known for his role as the European Union's chief negotiator during the Brexit talks and is affiliated with the right-wing Republican party. His predecessor, Gabriel Attal, a 35-year-old from the centrist Renaissance party, resigned after the July 8 election, which saw the left-wing coalition New Popular Front securing the most seats in parliament.
Macron's office stated that the appointment followed an unprecedented cycle of consultations. The president aimed to ensure that the new prime minister and government would provide the necessary stability. France, being the second-largest economy in the 27-nation European Union, plays a significant role in the bloc's economic landscape.
The European Union recently passed comprehensive legislation for cryptocurrency, known as MiCA, and France began accepting registrations for a license under this framework in early August.#Macron #MichelBarnier #PrimeMinister #France #EuropeanUnion #Brexit #Economy #MiCA #Cryptocurrency #NationalAssembly

🚀 August Jobs Report To Influence Fed Rate Cut Decision
#JobsReport #FederalReserve #RateCut #NonfarmPayrolls #UnemploymentRate #Bitcoin #EconomicIndicators #MonetaryPolicy #Cryptocurrency #MarketTrends #EconomicData
According to CoinDesk, the U.S. government is set to release its Nonfarm Payrolls Report for August, a critical economic indicator for the Federal Reserve's upcoming rate-setting meeting. Economists predict an addition of 160,000 jobs in August, an increase from July's 114,000. The unemployment rate is expected to decrease slightly to 4.2% from 4.3%. A stronger-than-expected report or one that meets expectations may lead the Fed to cut its benchmark fed funds rate by 25 basis points. However, a weaker report could prompt traders to anticipate a 50 basis points cut.
This week's economic data, including the ISM Manufacturing PMI, the Fed's Beige Book, and the ADP August jobs report, has generally been soft, increasing the likelihood of a more aggressive policy easing by the Fed. According to CME FedWatch, the probability of a 50 basis point rate cut has risen to 44%, up from 34% a week ago.
Historically, rapid monetary easing has been seen as a positive catalyst for bitcoin prices. Bitcoin was created during the global financial crisis over 15 years ago, coinciding with the Fed's aggressive rate cuts and economic stimulus measures. The Fed's 2020 Covid-era rate cuts and monetary stimulus propelled bitcoin from a niche asset to a $1 trillion asset class within a year.
However, the current easing cycle has not generated the same enthusiasm for bitcoin. Despite signals of impending rate cuts, bitcoin's price has continued to decline. Currently trading at $56,300, bitcoin has dropped 5% over the past month and is down more than 23% from its record high of over $73,500 six months ago.
Quinn Thompson, CIO of hedge fund Lekker Capital, commented on the weak economic data this week, noting the rising conviction in a 50 basis point Fed cut in September. He highlighted the cautious sentiment among traders, who have been hesitant to buy due to recent market conditions.#JobsReport #FederalReserve #RateCut #NonfarmPayrolls #UnemploymentRate #Bitcoin #EconomicIndicators #MonetaryPolicy #Cryptocurrency #MarketTrends #EconomicData
🚀 FCA Reports High Rejection Rate For Crypto Registrations In 2023-24
#FCA #crypto #registrations #UK #licensing #moneylaundering #applications #Binance #PayPal #Komainu #cryptoindustry #regulation #cryptocompanies #legislation #cryptoassets #financialconductauthority
According to CoinDesk, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) revealed that 87% of crypto companies applying for licensing under the U.K.'s money laundering rules in the 2023-24 fiscal year failed to meet approval standards. Out of 35 applications, only four were approved, including Binance's payments partner BNXA, a PayPal U.K. unit, and Komainu, a crypto custody joint venture of Nomura. The remaining applications were either refused or rejected due to missing key components necessary for assessment.
The FCA has been overseeing the crypto sector and registering firms under its anti-money laundering rules since 2020. The regulator stated, 'Over 87% of crypto registrations were rejected, withdrawn or refused. We help firms applying for authorisation by communicating our expectations and issuing guidance on good and poor practice. This is helping firms understand what is required – 44 crypto firms now have money laundering registration.' Despite this, the FCA is still awaiting legislation that will allow it to fully authorize companies to operate in the country. The new Labour government, elected in July, has paused crypto plans, potentially delaying this process further.
Since January 2020, the FCA has received 359 applications from crypto companies, with only 44 successfully registered. Some companies that failed to receive full FCA approval have criticized the registration process, citing long wait times, lack of feedback, and perceived unfair treatment by the regulator. These delays have led some crypto firms to leave the U.K. and seek registration in other countries to serve U.K. customers from abroad.#FCA #crypto #registrations #UK #licensing #moneylaundering #applications #Binance #PayPal #Komainu #cryptoindustry #regulation #cryptocompanies #legislation #cryptoassets #financialconductauthority
