ChainCatcher news, according to Bitcoin.com, recently at a hearing of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley expressed strong concerns about the increasing prevalence of cryptocurrency scams and urged for enhanced consumer protection. She emphasized that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) played a crucial role in combating fraud but was disbanded under the influence of Trump and Musk, particularly through actions taken by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).Pressley pointed out that there are indeed real-life cases of individuals losing their savings due to cryptocurrency scams, highlighting the urgent need for government intervention. Without the protective measures of the CFPB, consumers are easily vulnerable to cryptocurrency scam schemes, which continue to proliferate.Pressley also criticized the Meme coin launched by Trump for causing ordinary investors to incur losses, calling it a scam. She compared Trump's actions to the mission of the CFPB to protect consumers and called for the restoration of the agency's operations: "We need to reopen this important agency to carry out its necessary work."

ChainCatcher message, The ETF Store President Nate Geraci posted on X: "Creating a meme coin only takes a few clicks, which is why 60,000 meme coins are created every day, and this is well known.At this point, if you get 'rug pulled'—whether by Trump, Milei, or anyone else—this is not an indictment of crypto, but rather your own 'fault.' For my traditional finance friends who haven't played with meme coins yet, the focus should be on the technology, not the 'grift.'The technology is nearly flawless; it is currently just a real-time testing environment serving what you see, but it will evolve further from this stage."

ChainCatcher news, Startale CEO Sota Watanabe posted on X: "About 10 years ago, when I entered the cryptocurrency industry, I was excited about how technology could empower people and improve society. Now, 10 years later, the main use case of this industry is Meme coins. I do not deny this situation, but this issue must be addressed."

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, data from Nansen shows that as trading activity of Meme coins increases on the network, BNB Chain (BSC) has collected nearly $15 million in gas fees from users over the past 7 days, a surge of 388%, more than double that of Ethereum ($7 million), and second only to Solana ($29 million).Nansen analyst Aurelie Barthere recently stated: "BSC's fees have significantly increased over the past 7 days, while blockchains like Solana, Ethereum, and Base have seen negative growth. A potential catalyst for this growth could be Binance's recent announcement of a 60-day pause in its legal dispute with the U.S. SEC, which was announced on Monday."

ChainCatcher news, according to official sources, BNB Chain has released its first optimization plan aimed at addressing traffic surges. The team observed that during peak traffic periods, many transactions failed to be included in blocks in a timely manner. This means that even if users increase the gas fees (transaction fees) to speed up their transactions, they may not receive the priority they expect.While there are many potential contributing factors, one key issue is that validator nodes do not always prioritize blocks with the highest overall value (i.e., the most profitable blocks based on transaction fees).The current design of BNB Chain prioritizes getting all transactions on-chain as quickly as possible, thereby minimizing the average waiting time in the mempool. This approach works for most typical use cases. However, for fast-paced, high-risk Meme coin trading, it is not the best choice, as small price fluctuations can have significant impacts.Therefore, the team is refining the strategy to prioritize block value, especially when handling critical transactions. In other words, it will give higher priority to transactions interacting with time-sensitive (Meme coin) contracts.This upgrade will introduce a brief waiting period before block sealing, as long as there is sufficient time within a 3-second block window. This will allow validators to collect more bids, increasing the chances of including the best bids and improving overall block building performance, especially during peak network activity. This change also provides more time for bid collection, potentially leading to more efficient block construction.

ChainCatcher news reports that, according to Ember monitoring, insiders of the Meme token LIBRA, allegedly issued by the President of Argentina, have profited at least 20.18 million USD.Three wallet addresses prepared USDC and SOL funds through exchanges such as Binance, Bybit, and KuCoin hours before the official tweet was released, and bought LIBRA immediately after the tweet was published.These addresses invested 1 million, 1.1 million, and 500,000 USDC respectively, purchasing approximately 10.41 million LIBRA, and sold in batches after the price increased, totaling a profit of about 20.18 million USD.

ChainCatcher news, Andre Cronje, co-founder of Sonic Labs (formerly Fantom), posted on the X platform stating, "In the past, we would argue over issues like a feature controlled by an external account that does not affect assets, or a contract controlled by multi-signature rather than time-lock. Now, presidents and nations are 'bottom-fishing' us in a completely illegal manner."When asked if he regrets returning to the crypto space, Cronje responded that this is simply a result of broader adoption, and the meme coin craze does not conflict with his work. "The participants in meme coins are a group that is completely indifferent to DeFi or even blockchain. So meme coins haven't taken away any attention because the participants were never part of our user base."

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has issued a warning regarding the risks associated with Meme coins, advising investors not to invest in speculative and unregulated assets.The regulatory body stated that these assets are speculative, volatile, and susceptible to market manipulation, while urging investors to exercise caution when presented with unrealistic return promises, emphasizing that such promises often indicate fraudulent activities. Meme coins issued from Dubai must comply with the rules enforced by VARA.

Unfortunately, I can't, won't, and don't know how to do that.Welcome to the decentralized world. But again, I hope the ecosystem can develop naturally.As of the writing of this article, according to Dex Screener, there is a Broccoli project on the BNB chain with a market cap of over 200 million dollars. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing.Please manage your risks well; if you cannot bear the volatility of a downturn, do not touch meme coins.

ChainCatcher news, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) responded to community doubts on the social platform X. In response to the criticism of "manipulating investors and playing various guessing games on BSC," Zhao Changpeng stated that although these words are harsh, the viewpoint is interesting. He acknowledged the desire to see more activities on BSC but did not participate in the issuance or operation of Meme tokens due to a lack of experience.Zhao Changpeng further stated that he did not anticipate the pressure test but observed two forms of testing: a breadth test with the creation of a large number of new Meme tokens, and a depth test with a single contract generating a large number of transactions. He believes that most people were prepared for the latter and admitted that there are still many areas that need improvement.

ChainCatcher message, Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) stated on the X platform: "I just posted a photo and the name of my dog. I will not personally issue a Meme coin. It depends on the community whether they do so. I may interact with some popular meme coins on the BNB chain (BSC). The BNB Foundation may provide rewards for top memes on the BNB chain, offering LP support or other incentives. Details are still under discussion. More content will be released soon."
