ChainCatcher news, according to Cryptonews, South Korean Deputy Prime Minister Choi Sang-mok claimed that the government does not hold a negative attitude towards cryptocurrency-related matters.Choi Sang-mok stated: "Since the specific details of the strategic cryptocurrency asset proposal by the incoming President Trump have not yet been announced, now is not the time for evaluation. We plan to prepare responses and other measures after the new U.S. government takes office. We will take action after these and other new proposals related to cryptocurrency assets are specified. The government does not hold a negative attitude towards cryptocurrency assets. As regulations and related systems are still in their infancy, we have decided to postpone the introduction of cryptocurrency taxes. We believe that monitoring the progress of regulations should come before introducing taxation."Choi Sang-mok further claimed that the South Korean central bank, financial regulatory agencies, and "other relevant departments" are currently "formulating new regulatory policies" for the cryptocurrency sector. These concerns "not only focus on customer protection" but also on the "legal nature" of cryptocurrency.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, shows that members of the Polygon community have rejected a preliminary proposal (or pre-PIP) that suggested deploying over $1 billion in stablecoin reserves to generate yield.The proposal was put forward by Web3 risk provider Allez Labs in collaboration with DeFi protocols Morpho and Yearn, aiming to utilize approximately $1.3 billion in DAI, USDC, and USDT reserves in the PoS Chain bridge for yield generation.Polygon stated that community members expressed concerns about security issues and the lack of an opt-in mechanism for affected users, casting doubt on the feasibility of the proposal. Given the community's reservations, the proposal seems unlikely to pass, but this does not hinder Polygon from exploring innovative or even bold ideas in the future.

ChainCatcher news, Dan Morehead, founder and CEO of the hedge fund and venture capital firm Pantera Capital, recently discussed the evolution of cryptocurrency adoption in the U.S. and potential changes in the coming year on CNBC's "Fast Money." In the interview, Morehead talked about President Trump's proposal to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve and expressed strong support for the initiative. He said, "I think this is actually a very important thing. When you are the world reserve currency, you don't need to store other currencies."Morehead elaborated on the current state of U.S. reserves, noting, "The U.S. has no other currency. It stores $600 billion in gold, which is an astonishing amount. That's equivalent to 11 million years of American workers' wages, so that's a bit crazy."He advocated for a transition to digital assets, stating, "Move to digital gold. Bitcoin is much better, so I think it makes total sense." Emphasizing the government's existing holdings, Morehead mentioned, "The U.S. already owns 1% of the world's Bitcoin. Maintain that ratio, increase that ratio. So I think this is indeed a very good policy. Several countries already own Bitcoin. It would be great if the U.S. could lead."

ChainCatcher message, EigenLayer has published its second EigenLayer Improvement Proposal (ELIP-002) on social media: Slashing Mechanism. This ELIP proposal introduces a slashing mechanism to the EigenLayer protocol to enhance cryptoeconomic commitments and provide tools for AVS (Active Verification Service) to innovate and reward high-quality service operators.The slashing mechanism designed in the proposal integrates two new concepts proposed by Eigen Labs: Unique Stake and Operator Sets, allowing AVS to penalize operators for failing to meet commitments (such as computational errors or liveness issues).Unique Stake ensures that each AVS has exclusive access to specific punishable stakes, reducing systemic risk. Operator Sets allow AVS to segment tasks and operators for better accountability and reward distribution.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the liquid staking platform Marinade Finance on Solana is discussing a governance proposal to address malicious validator nodes and democratize MEV (Maximum Extractable Value).Marinade proposes a "balanced" approach that reduces harmful MEV while fairly distributing related profits through an open market. The proposal suggests establishing a public committee to oversee delegation activities and blacklist malicious validator nodes. Additionally, it recommends reopening public trading pools to prevent MEV flow concentration in a few private trading pools and proposes funding for MEV research to enhance transparency and data accessibility.Researchers point out that the current centralization issue of MEV is worsening, particularly with sandwich attack behaviors threatening Solana's decentralization. Marinade hopes to seek community feedback through the governance proposal and ultimately vote and implement based on the opinions received.
