ChainCatcher news, according to CryptoQuant analysts, Bitcoin's realized capitalization has reached $882.228 billion, setting a new all-time high. This on-chain metric evaluates the actual investment value by calculating the price at which each Bitcoin unit was last transferred on-chain, providing a more accurate measure of market sentiment than traditional market capitalization.Analyst Carmelo Alemán pointed out that historical data shows large accumulations of realized capitalization often precede significant price increases for Bitcoin. Although the price has increased since April 9, there has yet to be a typical short-term explosive surge in Bitcoin.

ChainCatcher news, according to Finance Magnates, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has released the "Final Guidelines on the Regulation of Market Abuse in Crypto Assets," which will be fully implemented within three months after its publication as part of the MiCA regulatory framework.The guidelines require the regulatory authorities of the 27 EU member states to establish a unified market monitoring system, focusing on preventing three types of violations: insider trading, illegal information disclosure, and market manipulation, with a particular emphasis on strengthening the regulation of false information dissemination on social media, blogs, and other online platforms.The document mandates that Professional Trading Firms (PPAETs) must deploy automated monitoring tools and establish a tiered processing mechanism for Suspicious Transaction Reports (STORs).For cross-border regulation, ESMA explicitly requires national regulatory authorities to share regulatory cases involving non-EU crypto firms and to regularly report to ESMA on cross-border cooperation obstacles. It is noteworthy that the guideline development process did not include a public consultation.ESMA explains that, since Article 125 of the MiCA regulation has already provided clear authorization, and the guidelines are aimed solely at regulatory authorities rather than market participants. National regulatory authorities must submit a compliance commitment letter to ESMA within two months, and if they choose partial exemptions, they must specify the details.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Base has implemented the first phase of Ethereum Rollup decentralization, launching a fault-proof mechanism and establishing a security council. Base developers stated that the network has reached the "first phase" of Vitalik Buterin's Rollup decentralization framework, making progress in reducing reliance on centralized participants.The Base team stated: "Base has achieved the first phase of decentralization, which is a key milestone in building an open global on-chain economy. This has been accomplished by launching permissionless fault-proof and enhancing the decentralization of the contract upgrade process through the security council."Base was launched in August 2023, developed using Optimism's OP Stack package, and has now become the largest Layer 2 rollup by TVL on Ethereum. Previously, Base was classified as a Stage 0 Rollup, mainly because it still relied on a centralized sequencer controlled by Coinbase, and its mainnet lacked fully operational permissionless fault-proof.
