Shiba Inu will launch a new privacy-focused network on top of the Shibarium blockchain in a move that boosts the value proposition of SHIB tokens, a representative shared with CoinDesk in a release on Wednesday. Shiba Inu is working with open-source cryptography company Zama on the yet-unnamed network. The exact mechanism is called Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) – a type of privacy tool that lets developers use data on untrusted domains without needing to decrypt it. The move will bump on-chain privacy for SHIB token holders, Shiba developers said, and help safeguard their personal and transactional data. Shiba Inu ecosystem token treat (TREAT) will power the “new privacy layer.” The new privacy layer lets developers add a focused network on top of Shibarium, a layer 2 network that settles transactions on the Ethereum blockchain. “These are two different entities, and separate for a variety of reasons,” Shytoshi Kusama, the pseudonymous founder of Shiba Inu, told CoinDesk in a mess...

칠리즈 CEO "곧 새 커뮤니티 토큰 PEPPER 에어드랍" 칠리즈(CHZ) CEO 알렉산더 드레이퍼스(Alexandre Dreyfus)가 X를 통해 "새 커뮤니티 토큰 PEPPER의 에어드랍을 곧 진행할 예정"이라고 밝혔다. 앞서 그는 드래곤8 프로젝트 일환으로 트랜잭션 수수료 소각 메커니즘 도입과 새 커뮤니티 토큰 PEPPER 출시, 칠리즈 토크노믹스 2.0 등을 언급한 바 있다. 코인원, 오늘 17시 CETUS 상장 코인원이 공식 홈페이지를 통해 2월 29일 17시 원화마켓에 세터스(CETUS)를 상장한다고 공지했다. 입금은 오전 10시부터 가능하다. CETUS NH투자증권 "BTC 현물 ETF, 金 운용자산 1년 내 추월 전망" 홍성욱 NH투자증권 애널리스트가 29일 리포트를 통해 "BTC 현물 ETF 자금 유입 속도를 고려했을 때, 1년 안에 금 현물 ETF 운용자산(900억 달러) 규모를 추월할 수 있을 것"이라고 전망했다. 그러면서 "BTC 현물 ETF 출시 이후 자금 유입이 급증하면서 비트코인 가격 상승을 견인하고 있다. 지난달 11일 이후 BTC 현물 ETF로 일 평균 약 2억 달러 가량의 자금이 유입되고 있다. 일 평균 5억 달러 자금 유입을 연율화하면 1000억 달러 수준이다. 이 속도가 유지된다면 금 현물 ETF의 운용자산을 1년 안에 추월할 것”이라고 설명했다. 또 "오는 4월19일 전후로 발생할 비트코인 반감기가 수급에 긍정 영향을 주면서 BTC 가격이 추가 상승할 가능성이 있다. 반감기 이후 하루 비트코인 채굴량이 900개에서 450개로 감소하는데 이를 달러로 환산하면 일일 약 2,500만 달러 수준의 효과가 있다"고 강조했다. 수이 재단, 시터스 프로토콜에 전략 투자 무브(MOVE) 생태계 DEX 시터스 프로토콜(CetusProtocol)이 수이(SUI) 재단으로부터 전략 투자를 받았다고 밝혔다. 투자액은 밝히지 않았다. 오르세 미술관...

The risk appetite for Bitcoin investors is increasing, with growing signs of speculation appearing across capital flows, exchange activity, derivatives leverage, and even institutional demand. Executive Summary Bitcoins recovery is near completion as capital continues to pour into the asset class, propelling the Realized Cap to $460B, and only 3% shy of its ATH.
