ChainCatcher news, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson suggested Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong as the best candidate for the proposed cryptocurrency policy position in Donald Trump's second administration. In a post on X on November 20, Hoskinson outlined the key qualifications for the "crypto czar," emphasizing neutrality, cross-protocol collaboration, and a solid grasp of the unique values of cryptocurrency. Hoskinson believes that Armstrong's leadership at Coinbase makes him an ideal choice. Under Armstrong's leadership, Coinbase has become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States and one of the first publicly listed cryptocurrency companies:"Coinbase has grown to be one of the pillars of the cryptocurrency industry and has had to endure the unfair tactics of the government to impose regulation through enforcement. I know Armstrong can build a broad tent coalition to unite the entire industry and help us get the government to come together to take real action, including through new legislation."

ChainCatcher news, BitMEX Research posted on social media that currently, MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock price has a huge premium compared to the value of its held Bitcoin, approximately 256% when fully diluted. Part of the reason may be that some financial regulators prohibit people from purchasing Bitcoin ETFs. However, investors are very eager for Bitcoin exposure, so they buy MSTR despite the premium.In addition, MSTR has a "yield strategy." Since MSTR is trading at a premium, the company can issue new shares and buy more Bitcoin. This would then increase the Bitcoin holdings behind each share. If the premium continues to exist, the company can keep issuing new shares.MSTR's current premium rate is 256%. Based on this premium, when each share of MSTR actually represents a Bitcoin holding valued at $474, MicroStrategy would need to issue 157 million shares (currently 102 million shares) to raise $157 billion, with the stock price rising to $1,685 per share, resulting in a market capitalization of $674 billion and holding 1.9 million Bitcoins.BitMEX Research believes that such price performance and rising model is a "Ponzi scheme" and is unreasonable.
