☄️ Will there be another FTX? Huobi plans to cut staff by 20%
Reuters writes that the management of the Huobi exchange plans to cut 20% of the staff. In order to optimize costs, management has completely canceled any pre-New Year bonuses and bonuses for employees.
Justin Sun, an adviser and rumored owner of Huobi, openly dismissed the claims as false and posted inspirational posts about the marketplace's status and plans.
Negative news has often surfaced around Huobi in recent weeks. There have been confirmations that the management of the exchange is cutting salaries and bonuses, planning further layoffs of up to 60% of the staff, and forcibly converting employee pay from yuan to USDT and USDC stablecoins.
Do you have crypto on Huobi?

The laws of the metaverse: how the life of our avatars will be regulated
The South Korean government has announced the preparation of one of the world's first ethics manuals for the metaverse. Its principles are designed to ensure trust between the participants of the metaverse, for the creation of which the government of the country has promised to allocate $170 million.
Previously, it took decades to assess the legal risks associated with technological breakthroughs - for example, the appearance of cars or airplanes, but in the case of the development of metauniverses, we have much less time, Andrey Neznamov, managing director of the Sberbank AI Regulation Center, is sure.

📈🚀 Ethereum saves little brother?
Today, the price of #SOL has increased by almost 6%, and all because of one post on Twitter.
#ETH founder Vitalik Buterin supported Solana developers:
“Smart people have told me that Solana has a strong developer community. Since the opportunists with money are now washed out of the market, the project has a bright future. It’s hard for me to judge from the outside, but I wish them prosperity,” he concluded.
Recently, Solana has been under tremendous pressure - the departure of developers to other projects and the departure of the largest NFT teams to other blockchains put a lot of pressure on the price of the coin.
