Messari CEO: Will no longer engage with the U.S. SEC in any formal or informal capacity until it reforms and changes leadership

Messari CEO and co-founder Ryan Selkis issued a statement on the X platform, saying that he would no longer engage with the U.S. SEC in any formal or informal capacity until the SEC reforms and changes its leadership. Messari now regards the agency as a hostile opponent, competitor, and redundant federal regulator. Messari pointed out that the SEC's approach to crypto regulation is ineffective and that SEC Chairman Gary Gensler is not only incompetent but also corrupt.

10x Research: Bitcoin and Ethereum’s declines over the past month mostly occurred during Asian trading hours

Crypto research firm 10x Research said in a post that Bitcoin has fallen 20% in the past month, including a 13% drop during the Asian trading session, indicating that many retail traders in Asia have been liquidated. At the same time, Ethereum fell 22%, including a 16% drop during the Asian trading session.

As Bitcoin appears to be oversold in the short term, a counter-trend rally is possible in anticipation of potential macroeconomic positives next week. Additionally, the SEC’s potential approval of an Ethereum ETF could spark positive momentum in the short term. However, this is not a major buying opportunity in the medium term.

Celo: Dango, the L2 testnet built on OP Stack, is now live

The Celo Foundation has launched Dango, Celo’s L2 testnet, a key step for core contributor cLabs to bring an EVM-compatible independent blockchain to Ethereum. First proposed during EthCC 2023, the plan is to fork the Alfajores testnet to Dango, allowing ecosystem developers to begin transitioning their projects to the latest version of the blockchain built for the real world, designed to enable fast, low-cost payments around the world. All historical data for Alfajores, including smart contracts, accounts, and balances, is saved and carried forward. Following cLabs’ advice and the community’s decision in a series of forum posts and governance votes, the testnet is built on Optimism’s OP Stack. Following the Eigen Foundation’s strategic funding to the Celo community and the community’s support for cLabs’ subsequent governance proposals, the Celo Layer-2 testnet uses EigenDA as an alternative data availability layer to maintain transaction fees below one cent.

The development of the L2 architecture focuses on maintaining the existing advantages of Celo L1 for real-world solutions in more than 150 countries. In addition to low transaction fees, the core elements maintained and improved through the migration include: bridging of WETH and ERC-20 tokens between Ethereum and Celo, reducing block time from 5 seconds to 2 seconds, and increasing total throughput by 50%.
