Analysis: Ethereum L2 solution may trigger market concerns about liquidity fragmentation
The proliferation of Ethereum Layer 2 solutions is raising concerns about liquidity fragmentation. Patrick Liou, head of sales at Gemini, said that the emergence of multiple Layer 2 blockchains, while intended to solve scalability issues, has inadvertently weakened the operation and adoption of blockchains and their applications. Although moving liquidity from one blockchain to another is not easy, advancements in bridging applications are making the process smoother. Gemini’s report shows that a new Ethereum Layer 2 appears every 19 days, further exacerbating the problem of fragmented liquidity.

Opinion: Trump’s promise to fire SEC chairman on first day in office may face obstacles
Tonya Evans, a professor at Penn State Dickinson School of Law, pointed out that Trump declared at the Bitcoin 2024 conference that if elected, he would fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on day one and push for the federal government to hold Bitcoin. However, the promise to fire Gensler faces numerous obstacles. It is reported that the dismissal process is very complicated, and Trump must prove that Gary Gensler committed inefficiency, negligence or malfeasance in order to initiate the dismissal process. While some politicians and crypto industry representatives view Gensler's performance as poor and believe he is justified in firing him, the entire process could take months or even longer than Gary Gensler's five-year term. So unless Gary Gensler resigns on day one, his departure won't happen quickly.
