▌The United States should become the financial center of blockchain technology
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse still insists that the United States should be a global leader in blockchain and cryptocurrency, despite the industry's continued regulatory challenges and new lawsuits against the company. JackTheRippler, a loyal supporter of Ripple, shared an excerpt of Garlinghouse's interview with CNBC on the X platform. In the interview, he expressed regret over the US government's resistance to the cryptocurrency industry, saying that the industry was "falling behind in Washington" and was forced to be on the defensive. Garlinghouse attributed some of the challenges facing the US cryptocurrency industry to a lack of understanding among policymakers, while suggesting that some government officials may be deliberately opposing the industry.
▌McKinsey: Tokenization has reached a critical point and is expected to change the financial market
McKinsey's latest analysis shows that the first large-scale tokenized transactions are already moving trillions of dollars worth of assets each month. These developments are not only reshaping existing financial services, but also creating innovative use cases that may redefine the market landscape. However, to date, we have encountered many difficulties and challenges, McKinsey executives pointed out in the report. To further integrate these technologies into the mainstream in a robust, secure and compliant manner, cooperation and coordination of all relevant stakeholders are required. Despite the optimistic outlook, the road to widespread tokenization is full of challenges. McKinsey researchers recommend: In the short term, institutions including banks, asset managers and market infrastructure participants should evaluate their product suites and determine which assets would benefit most from transitioning to tokenized products. We recommend thinking about whether tokenization can accelerate strategic priorities, such as entering new markets, launching new products and/or attracting new customers.

▌He Yi: Projects with high valuations cannot only be judged by market value, the era of haircuts may be coming to an end
He Yi, co-founder of Binance, posted on Binance Square: "2017 was the ICO era, and you could make money as long as you grabbed a share. In 2021, defi rose, and you could make money as long as you ran fast. Buying new instead of old is also a typical feature of this period. But now IEO compliance in most countries is generally considered to have legal risks, so it can only be airdropped and market-priced, which means that if the circulation volume is large and the opening price is low, the project will perform relatively smoothly, such as BB and LISTA, but compared with 21 years, it still rose too fast and lacked sufficient washing process. This wave of rise in 2024 was initiated by BTC ETF. The king-level projects and Lu Mao Studio worked together to create a wave of beautiful data. On the one hand, the project parties can raise more money from VCs. On the other hand, the project parties with money and users are full of confidence. There are millions of users on the chain. It doesn’t matter if they don’t go on a certain platform. There are many CEXs to go on. If CEX doesn’t go on, there are DEXs. If not, there are native exchanges on their own chains. DEX. The trading platform does not have the pricing power, so for projects with high valuations, users need to look at the fundamentals, not just the market value, but also the circulation. Today, the fratricide between the LuMao Studio and the L2 project has turned into a farce, and the LuMao era may be coming to an end. As an ordinary investor, the ICO of 2017, the IEO of 2021, the nesting dolls, and even the LuMao strategy of 2023 may not be suitable for today's market.
