This update, recommended for MainnetBeta validators, includes five enhancements to improve performance. The network's congestion has primarily been driven by high traffic from memecoins and spam bots. | | | Regulators in Hong Kong are gearing up to approve spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in the territory. | Sources familiar with the matter say that a subsidiary of Chinese firm Harvest Fund Management Company will likely be the first approved, along with Bosera Asset Management and HashKey Capital. | Harvest reportedly holds $210 billion in assets under management (AUM), whereas Bosera holds $10 billion in AUM, and HashKey surpasses the $1 billion mark. | | |
| | | | | DeFi Saver is switching from using DSProxies as smart wallets that hold users' positions in supported protocols, to using Safes, which are currently the most popular smart wallet and multi-sig wallet in the Ethereum ecosystem. With this change, users will enjoy the option to manage their positions created through DeFi Saver in most other frontends, such as the protocol default frontends through the Safe app. On top of this, the update reduces gas costs both during initial setup and with any later transactions and users can expect to see more interesting UX improvements rolled out in the future. | READ MORE: DeFi Saver integrates Safe to bring account abstraction to DeFi |

| | | LeonidasNFT launched the Runestones collection, aiming to use memecoins to onboard millions into Bitcoin. The project rewards early adopters of the Ordinals ecosystem with memecoins, such as a dog in an orange hoodie, leveraging Bitcoin's network to attract interest. Each Runestones holder is set to receive three memecoins as part of an airdrop tied to the upcoming Runes protocol. | | | A small project called XEN, with a market cap of $28 million, is using up 68% of the state of Coinbase's Layer 2 network, Base, despite only 0.3% of users being involved. This high usage, driven by XEN and XENFT token minting due to low fees on Base, highlights challenges in blockchain resource allocation. Previously, XEN had a similar impact on Ethereum, notably driving up gas prices and contributing to Ethereum becoming temporarily deflationary in October 2022. | | 🌍 ELSEWHERE | Bitcoin Halving Has Crypto Miners Racing for 'Epic Sat' Potentially Worth Millions (Coindesk) Bitcoin's latest crash shows crypto is no haven during war times (Fortune) Norway Wants to Restrict Crypto Mining by Regulating Data Centers, Lawmakers Say: Report (CoinDesk) Bitcoin Dominance Hits 3-Year High as Weekend Liquidations Top $1.5 Billion (Unchained)
