4. Vitalik Buterin supports the launch of an anonymous voting tool for ETH holders based on zero-knowledge proofs to mitigate social media noise.

Vitalik stated regarding the community discussion on "ETH holders participating in Ethereum Foundation (EF) governance," "I support launching a device similar to anoncast for Ethereum holders, where after proving you hold N ETH through zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP), you can speak once every (120 million / N) seconds. Create a Twitter account @eth_holders and set up a bot to follow these rules. This way, we can avoid the distortion of social media noise while having a public voice that truly represents the ETH holders community, using our own technology. I hope farcaster or LensProtocol can set up smart contract-friendly logic so that the entire mechanism can operate trustlessly and without intermediaries on their platforms. A similar system can also be created based on "identity proof" zero-knowledge proofs. Solutions can be made for Worldcoin and Aboutcircles. It should be interesting to see what ordinary people think of these ideas and the opinions of ETH holders." -Original

UAE-based cryptocurrency financial services company CLS Global agreed on Tuesday to plead guilty to U.S. charges that it provided services to manipulate the market, involving a digital token created at the request of the FBI to expose fraud in the cryptocurrency industry. CLS Global is one of three companies and 15 individuals prosecuted last year by the Boston federal prosecutor following the "Token Mirrors" undercover investigation, marking the FBI's first direct involvement in creating digital tokens and setting up fake cryptocurrency companies to trap fraudsters. Prosecutors noted that CLS was one of three market makers providing illegal trading services to cryptocurrency companies and agreed to assist in manipulating the FBI-supported NexFundAI token (operating on the Ethereum blockchain) market during the sting operation. CLS admitted in court documents that it agreed to provide services for the NexFundAI token, including fake trading. On Tuesday, prosecutors announced that CLS would plead guilty to two charges of fraudulent manipulation of cryptocurrency trading volume and pay a $428,059 fine. Additionally, CLS will be banned from participating in cryptocurrency trading on platforms available to U.S. investors or providing services to U.S. cryptocurrency clients.

7. Circle acquires real-world asset issuer Hashnote for $1.3 billion, entering the tokenization market.

Cryptocurrency company Circle, the driving force behind the $48 billion stablecoin USDC, announced on Tuesday that it has acquired tokenized real-world asset (RWA) issuer Hashnote. A Circle spokesperson told CoinDesk that the two companies completed the transaction this morning and announced it at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. The two companies did not disclose pricing details. The press release stated that Circle aims to integrate USYC with Circle's flagship stablecoin USDC to achieve convertibility between cash and yield collateral on the blockchain. Hashnote issued USYC tokens worth $1.3 billion, which saw significant growth last year, becoming the largest tokenized U.S. Treasury product in the market. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire stated that this marks an important step towards combining the speed and transparency of traditional financial structures with blockchain-based markets. "This is a huge unlock for a market increasingly driven by institutional adoption, as participants are increasingly looking for market structures common in TradFi," Allaire said. Circle shared its listing plans a year ago, and the crypto industry widely expects a public offering to occur later this year. This acquisition highlights the synergy between two of the hottest trends in the crypto space: stablecoins and tokenization. Circle's main stablecoin competitor, Tether, launched a tokenization platform last year. Stablecoins are a $200 billion cryptocurrency asset class primarily pegged to the U.S. dollar and are critical infrastructure in tokenization efforts. They serve as a bridge between fiat currency and digital assets and are widely used for settling transactions on blockchain rails. Tokenized RWAs, such as Treasury bills and money market funds, are rapidly gaining favor among mature investors and asset managers as collateral for trading. Unlike traditional markets, blockchain-based assets promise transparency, accessibility, and 24/7 settlement. Treasury-backed tokens also allow investors to earn yields while serving as collateral or margin for trades, offering higher returns compared to trades collateralized with fiat currency or stablecoins. For example, Singapore-based hedge fund QCP Capital executed a Bitcoin (BTC) basis trade using money market fund tokens BUIDL issued by BlackRock and Securitize in early January. Circle also announced it has reached an agreement with Cumberland, a cryptocurrency trading company and market maker affiliated with DRW, to provide liquidity and facilitate settlement for USDC and USYC. This collaboration aims to expand the use of USYC as collateral on exchanges and custodial platforms. Additionally, Circle has plans to deploy USDC on the Canton Network, a blockchain used by traditional financial institutions for real-world asset trading. Integration with Canton will enable continuous liquidity between cash and collateral and facilitate seamless transfers between decentralized and traditional markets. -Original

10. Kenya drafts law requiring digital asset firms to establish local offices to strengthen regulation.

The Kenyan government is drafting a law requiring virtual asset service providers to establish local offices to enhance regulation of the rapidly growing digital asset industry. The proposed policy does not apply to assets that cannot be transferred, traded, or used for payment and investment outside a closed ecosystem, while aiming to address gaps in the legal and regulatory framework in the virtual asset space and tackle issues such as consumer protection, governance, data privacy, and cybersecurity. Kenya introduced a 3% tax on digital asset trading profits in 2023 but has yet to establish a comprehensive industry regulatory framework. The government hopes to fill regulatory gaps with this move while addressing industry risks such as money laundering, terrorism financing, tax evasion, fraud, and cybercrime. -Original
