CZ: “I would like to thank everyone for your care and support, be it writing letters, showing support on X, or in any other form. They all mean a lot to me and keep me strong. I will do my time, conclude this phase and focus on the next chapter of my life (education).
I will remain a passive investor (and holder) in crypto. Our industry has entered a new phase. Compliance is super important.
A silver lining of this whole process is that Binance has been under the microscope. And funds are SAFU.
Protect users!”

EigenLayer is launching a native token in May and its distribution will include an airdrop for those staking on the platform.
The newly formed and independent non-profit Eigen Foundation will be the entity releasing the token, according to a statement.
The Eigen token will have a total supply of 1.67 billion tokens at launch. The foundation has allocated 45% of the tokens to its community. This is further subdivided into stakedrops (15%), community initiatives (15%) and ecosystem development (15%).
Additionally, 29.5% of the tokens have been allocated to investors, while early contributors will receive 25.5%. Investors and early contributors are subject to a total lockup period of three years for their allocations. The first year involves a complete lock, followed by a gradual release of their total holdings at a rate of 4% per month over the subsequent two years.
The project also released a Whitepaper describing the structure of the Eigen token and how it will fit within the EigenLayer ecosystem.
The community airdrop, which EigenLayer is referring to as a stakedrop, will hand out 15% of the token supply to those who have staked using the platform. These tokens will be distributed across multiple seasons.
In the first season, the foundation will hand out 5% of the token supply to users based on a snapshot of staking activities taken on March 15, 2024. Of this first season allocation, 90% of the tokens will be claimable on May 10 to eligible restakers — with a claim window of 120 days. The final 10% will be claimable in a second phase of the first season that will take place a month later.
The other 10% of the supply that is being distributed to the community has been set aside for future seasons.

ConsenSys gives four reasons why Ethereum is not a security.
1. Historical SEC Stance on Ethereum
In 2018, William Hinman, then Director of the Division of Corporation Finance at the SEC, made a significant speech indicating that Ethereum was not considered a security.
2. CFTC’s Classification as a Commodity
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), another regulatory authority in the US, has consistently recognized Ethereum as a commodity.
3. Decentralization and Open Protocol
The essence of Ethereum’s architecture lies in its decentralization. Unlike securities, which a central entity typically governs to benefit insiders with asymmetric information, Ethereum operates on a platform where all information is openly accessible.
4. Irrelevance of the Consensus Mechanism Shift
Ethereum’s recent transition from a Proof-of-Work (PoW) to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism has been cited by the SEC as a potential reason for reclassification. However, this change does not inherently affect Ethereum’s operation’s core nature or its non-security classification.

Andrei Grachev (DWF Labs): “Seems like the market joined a quite calm and boring phase. We need more drivers for money inflow. Nice time for buidl, ok time for invest and raise.
Bleeding/flat mode for a next few months, then activity increase on the market, maybe ETHETF, and bullish again.”
