ChainCatcher message, Binance Customer Support responded to users on social media regarding the ZEC withdrawal issue, stating, "We have noticed that some users are experiencing issues when withdrawing ZEC assets from their Binance accounts.

Currently, all funds remain securely stored in cold wallets, and user assets are safe (SAFU).We are working closely with the Ledger team to actively push for a resolution to the issue and greatly appreciate their support. They have prioritized the release of the relevant version and expect to complete the update by April 17, at which point we will gradually restore the ZEC withdrawal functionality. In the meantime, we are also actively exploring temporary solutions to minimize the impact of this issue on users."

ChainCatcher news, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has warned of a potential economic recession in the U.S., stating that the recession may have already begun. In an interview with CNBC, Fink pointed out that the escalating economic pressures and protectionist trade policies—especially the tariffs from former President Trump's era—are key driving factors behind what he believes is a slow economic contraction. While concerns about a recession typically unsettle traditional markets, cryptocurrency investors may have reason to cheer. The impending economic slowdown could prompt the Federal Reserve to alter its monetary tightening path, potentially triggering a new wave of liquidity. According to analysts, this scenario could become a major catalyst for digital assets like Bitcoin. Fink's comments follow similar predictions from major Wall Street institutions, including JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, and Goldman Sachs. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes that a weak dollar could boost Bitcoin in the short term and may open the door for BTC to gain traction as an alternative global reserve asset in the long run.

ChainCatcher message, in response to the statement "The self-updating of Ethereum requires generational/talent replacement. And the next generation needs to be rooted in Ethereum values (such as cypherpunk)," Vitalik Buterin replied on Warpcast: "I actually think that the growth of the application layer is precisely the time when good social philosophy is most needed. To put it another way: suppose C++ was developed by a totalitarian racist fascist. Would it be a worse language? Probably not. C++ is general-purpose and has little room for bad social philosophy to corrupt it (or for good social philosophy to improve it). Ethereum Layer-1 is not entirely like that: those who do not believe in decentralization will not add light clients, FOCIL, or (good forms of) account abstraction; those who do not care about energy waste will not spend five years migrating to PoS. But in any case, the opcodes of the EVM might be roughly the same. Therefore, Ethereum might be 50% general-purpose. Applications are about 80% specialized. What kind of applications you build largely depends on your ideas about what Ethereum applications (and Ethereum as a whole) will do for the world. Thus, having good ideas on this topic becomes crucial."Additionally, Vitalik listed some applications, considering good applications like Railgun, Farcaster, Polymarket, Signal, and bad ones like Pump.fun, Terra/Luna, FTX. He believes that the differences in application functionality stem from developers holding different beliefs about the goals they want to achieve.
