Pump.fun faces controversy due to users spreading violent behavior through live streaming, team arranges personnel for round-the-clock review

According to Cointelegraph, Pump.fun has faced community criticism recently due to users spreading violent and harmful behavior through live streaming, leading to calls for enhanced content review or the shutdown of the live streaming feature. One user threatened self-harm if their token did not reach a market cap target; others threatened domestic violence and even school shootings, with community members pointing out that the feature has become "completely out of control."

Platform head Alon responded that Pump.fun has arranged for a team to review live streams, images, and comments around the clock and is actively responding to the growing demand.

Singapore Gulf Bank seeks to raise at least $50 million and plans to acquire a stablecoin payment company next year

According to Bloomberg, sources revealed that Singapore's Gulf Bank is seeking to raise at least $50 million and plans to acquire a stablecoin payment company next year.

This startup bank was founded by Singapore's family office Whampoa Group and has been licensed in Bahrain since February. The bank is currently negotiating with Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds and other investors, planning to sell less than 10% of its equity before early 2025.

Sources indicated that the funds raised will primarily be used to accelerate product development, enhance the bank's payment network, and hire more staff. They stated that Gulf Bank plans to acquire a stablecoin payment company in the Middle East or Europe in the first quarter. A bank spokesperson declined to comment on financing, valuation, or acquisition plans.

BTCparser: Whales created in 2010 holding 50 BTC wallets may be Satoshi Nakamoto

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin research company BTCparser recently published an article stating that a large number of Bitcoin wallet addresses were created in 2010, each holding 50 Bitcoins, and these addresses were not transferred until they were "activated" for the first time in November 2019. The article referred to them as the "2010 whales."

The theory suggests that Satoshi Nakamoto owns these wallets and has been slowly selling off holdings while deliberately ignoring wallets from 2009 to avoid drawing attention, stating, "This makes me suspect that the mysterious 2010 whales may actually be Satoshi Nakamoto." However, BTCparser emphasized that this is merely a "theory, not a conclusion."

Korea's Financial Services Commission: Currently not considering establishing a national Bitcoin reserve, need to observe US policy direction

He emphasized that the FSC currently prioritizes investor protection issues and remains vigilant about the rapid growth of the crypto asset market. It is reported that although Korea implemented the "Virtual Asset Protection Law" in July this year, regulators still need to cautiously assess the actual impact of crypto assets on the economy.

Vitalik: The crypto industry needs applications focused on specific functions like anoncast and Polymarket

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated on Warpcast, "The idea of developing applications just for the sake of having applications is fundamentally soulless; it completely abandons the notion that cryptocurrencies are meant to bring about concrete changes in the world, making it freer, more open, and more collaborative. At the same time, ignoring applications and focusing on generality is also a short-term escape strategy.

What we need are specific categories of applications that can truly make the world freer, more open, and more collaborative, and that can gain organic usage. Polymarket is a good example, and anoncast is also a great opportunity to let the best free speech rise to the surface while avoiding the quagmire of junk information and low-quality content."

Interview with Catizen Co-founder: Retention rate post-TGE still higher than traditional games, plans to release short dramas and other blockbuster potential content

Catizen is one of the hottest Telegram/TON ecosystem mini-games this year, with over 44 million registered users and more than 3.3 million on-chain users.

Prospects for Solana ETF Approval: From "Almost Hopeless" to "Expected by the End of 2025," What Challenges Remain?

The BZX exchange of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) recently submitted applications for four Solana ETFs. With the U.S. election day behind us and Trump set to take office, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler announced he would resign in January next year, signaling a potential significant change in the regulatory environment for cryptocurrency ETFs, creating new opportunities for the approval of Solana ETFs.

Analysts believe that the SEC will shift from a "law enforcement-based" to an "information disclosure-based" regulatory model. If the Solana ETF is approved, it will stimulate huge demand in the crypto ETF market. As the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, Solana, despite lacking support from a mature futures market and facing potential obstacles of being classified as a security, is steadily advancing its ETF application process in anticipation of the new regulatory environment.
