According to PANews, with Ethereum's Layer 1 (L1) mainnet gas fees reaching a five-year low, many projects are reconsidering deploying on L1. This raises questions about the core issues that Layer 2 (L2) solutions aim to address. The blockchain trilemma, as explained by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, involves a trade-off between security, decentralization, and scalability. L2 solutions are designed to tackle these challenges by maintaining security through state summaries on L1, striving for decentralization in transaction ordering, and achieving scalability off-chain. Various L2 solutions, such as Optimistic Rollups and Zero-Knowledge Rollups, are well-known. However, the Based-Rollup approach, initially proposed by Buterin and promoted by projects like Taiko, offers a different perspective. It emphasizes reducing the power of L2 sequencers by allowing Ethereum L1 to handle transaction ordering, thus limiting the influence of L2 sequencers. In a typical Optimistic Rollup system, sequencers have significant power, deciding transaction order and potentially profiting from Miner Extractable Value (MEV). Different L2 solutions handle MEV differently; for instance, Arbitrum advocates for fair treatment, while Optimism views MEV as a free market activity and taxes it. Despite these differences, L2 sequencers hold a prominent position. Based-Rollup proposes a three-step process: L2 searchers package transactions and send them to L2 block builders, who then construct blocks. L1 searchers include these L2 blocks in their L1 blocks. This approach allows L1 searchers and L2 builders to be the same entity, utilizing L1 resources to enhance L2 security. Taiko, which has been developing this approach for a year, is preparing for its token unlock. It has also introduced a new concept called Based Booster Rollup (BBR), which can serve as an L1 mirror. Further analysis of Booster Rollup will be explored in future discussions.

The U.S. is set to release the April Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index tonight — the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation gauge — and it may prove pivotal in determining whether interest rate cuts remain on the table this year.According to market forecasts, the headline PCE is expected to rise just 0.1% month-on-month, with year-on-year inflation dipping from 2.3% to 2.2%, approaching pre-pandemic levels.However, the core PCE index — which strips out food and energy volatility — is forecast to rise 0.1% MoM, but remain sticky at 2.6% YoY, a level well above the Fed’s 2% target.Fed’s Rate Cut Window May Be ClosingDespite previous optimism among Fed officials, the six-month streak of core PCE hovering between 2.6% and 2.8% is becoming a major concern. Analysts now warn that the window for Federal Reserve rate cuts is narrowing rapidly.Complicating the outlook are the lingering inflationary effects from Trump-era tariffs, which are beginning to filter through the U.S. economy. Economists suggest that even if some tariffs are relaxed, inflation could rebound to 3% within months, reigniting policy tightening risks.Market Expectations Shift DramaticallyInvestor sentiment has shifted swiftly in recent days. The CME FedWatch Tool shows that rate cut expectations for September have plunged from 68% a week ago to just 47% today, reflecting skepticism over a dovish pivot.“The Fed may find itself stuck between persistent inflation and political pressure,” said one macro strategist. “The data tonight could be make-or-break for the market’s dovish hopes.”What to WatchHeadline PCE YoY: Expected at 2.2%Core PCE YoY: Expected to hold at 2.6%Market Impact: A print above expectations could fuel bond selloffs, strengthen the dollar, and weigh on risk assets including crypto. A downside surprise could revive hopes of a September rate cut.

Bitcoin is entering what analysts call a “healthy pause” as it consolidates around $106,000, giving the market time to digest recent gains before potentially pushing to new highs later this year.According to Nick Forster, founder of onchain options protocol Derive, Bitcoin’s current sideways movement isn’t a bearish signal — it’s a stabilizing phase after a massive rally.“The market needs time to digest recent gains and gear up for the next phase,” Forster told Cointelegraph. “This consolidation is a healthy reset, not a breakdown.”Bitcoin Price Action: Cooling After ATHBitcoin hit a new all-time high of $111,970 on May 22, before pulling back slightly to around $105,706 at press time, according to CoinMarketCap. Over the last 30 days, BTC is still up more than 11%.Despite the cooling momentum, some analysts remain bullish long-term. Researcher Sminston With predicts a 100–200% gain, projecting a cycle peak between $220,000 and $330,000. Meanwhile, trader Apsk32 set a more conservative 2025 target of $220,000.Court Ruling, Fed Decision & Q3 Momentum in FocusThe recent U.S. Court of International Trade ruling, which blocked former President Trump’s broad tariff plan, helped ease inflation concerns. However, the Court of Appeals has allowed the tariffs to continue temporarily under emergency powers while the decision is appealed — leaving some macro uncertainty in place.Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve’s June 18 rate decision is expected to be pivotal for Bitcoin’s direction, said Forster.“The Fed’s stance on rates could either fuel the next leg up or extend this consolidation,” he added.Interestingly, Forster also noted that Q3 — traditionally a weak quarter for Bitcoin — could outperform expectations in 2025 due to rising institutional interest and potential regulatory tailwinds.According to CoinGlass, Bitcoin has historically averaged a 6.03% gain in Q3, while Q4 remains its strongest, with average returns of 85.42%.Bitcoin ETF Inflows Not Fully Priced InDespite record inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC’s spot price hasn’t fully reflected this demand. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) alone saw $6.2 billion in May, including $2.75 billion in a single week ending May 23.“Institutional inflows via ETFs don’t always immediately impact spot markets, but they’re building a powerful foundation for the next leg up,” Forster said.While Bitcoin’s consolidation around $106K may seem like a cooldown, analysts see it as a bullish recalibration. With strong ETF inflows, court decisions, and the Fed’s next move on the horizon, the market could be priming for a major breakout in Q3 or Q4.Keep an eye on regulatory updates, institutional flows, and macro shifts — the $220K target for 2025 may not be as far-fetched as it once seemed, according to Cointelegraph.

Binance has played a crucial role in the global dismantling of Kidflix, one of the largest child exploitation networks in history. The takedown was part of “Operation Stream,” a joint law enforcement initiative led by German and Dutch authorities and coordinated by Europol.On March 11, 2025, the Kidflix platform — which operated with nearly 1.8 million registered users globally — was taken offline. The operation involved 38 countries, resulting in arrests, device seizures, and the rescue of 39 children from ongoing abuse.Binance’s Contribution: Blockchain Intelligence and Operational SupportBinance’s Investigations Team collaborated closely with German authorities, offering blockchain analysis and operational intelligence that helped trace Kidflix’s cryptocurrency-based payment infrastructure. The platform monetized abuse by converting cryptocurrency payments into internal tokens, rewarding users for uploading, tagging, and validating child sexual abuse material (CSAM).Thanks to Binance's support, over 120 Kidflix users were successfully identified and linked to illicit transactions recorded on the blockchain.Operation Stream by the Numbers1,393 suspects identified79 arrests executed91,000 CSAM videos uncovered3,000+ electronic devices seized39 child victims rescuedVideos totaling 6,288 hours of footage uncoveredAverage upload rate: 3.5 new videos per hourThis operation marks Europol’s largest coordinated effort against online child sexual exploitation and highlights how digital forensics and blockchain traceability are changing the landscape of criminal investigations.Breaking the Myth of Crypto AnonymityWhile Kidflix relied on cryptocurrency for payments to ensure anonymity, the platform’s operators underestimated the transparency of blockchain networks. Contrary to popular belief, crypto transactions are pseudonymous, not anonymous — and when paired with blockchain analytics and KYC-compliant exchanges, they become traceable.Using blockchain forensics tools like Chainalysis and proprietary methods, Binance’s team helped law enforcement follow the crypto trail that eventually led to the platform’s exposure.Global Implications for Digital Crime Fighting“This case underscores how cryptocurrency can become a powerful tool not only for innovation but also for justice,” said [Binance representative or title, if desired]. “We remain committed to working alongside law enforcement agencies worldwide to ensure that bad actors have nowhere to hide.”By aiding in the identification and prosecution of exploiters, Binance has once again demonstrated the critical role of compliance, data sharing, and blockchain transparency in disrupting online criminal activity.

According to Odaily, U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed strong disapproval of a recent decision by the U.S. International Trade Court regarding his trade policies. Trump described the ruling as incredibly unfavorable to the United States, criticizing it as erroneous and politically motivated. He noted that a panel of 11 judges from the U.S. Federal Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily suspended the decision. Trump hopes the Supreme Court will swiftly overturn what he considers a dangerous ruling that threatens national interests. He emphasized that the decision implies he must obtain congressional approval to impose tariffs, which he argues would undermine presidential authority. Trump warned that if this process were allowed, it would involve hundreds of politicians in Washington deliberating for weeks or months on how to address unfair trade practices by other countries, fundamentally altering the presidential role.

According to BlockBeats, the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump is contemplating a measure to implement tariffs as high as 15%. This policy would be effective for a duration of 150 days.
