Mask Founder Responds to Lens Takeover: No Clear Coin Release Schedule Yet, Will Support Prediction Markets and Multi-Chain

2 hours ago

On January 21, Mask founder Suji Yan spoke to BlockBeats in an interview addressing the Lens situation, sharing key updates: - Strictly speaking, Mask has not acquired the Lens protocol. The two sides debated terminology at length before settling on "steward" — a role focused on leadership rather than ownership. - Lens founder Stani will shift his focus to Aave’s DeFi business going forward, though he will remain an advisor to Lens. - For future product development, Lens will uphold open principles, including multi-chain compatibility, multi-language support, and integration of prediction markets. - Lens has no firm plans for a token launch. The team wants to avoid users interacting solely for rewards or engagement-driven motives, instead prioritizing genuine social connections.

Solana Policy Institute Calls for Strengthening Legal Protections for Software Developers

On January 21, the Solana Policy Institute published a public letter addressing the conviction of Tornado Cash developer Roman Storm. The institute framed the case not as an isolated incident, but as a critical test of whether the U.S. will continue to support open technology innovation. It called for clearer legal protections for developers of non-custodial software, noting that the latest text of the Senate Banking Committee’s crypto regulation bill includes provisions stating developers who do not control user funds should not be classified as money transmitters.

Bloomberg: Wall Street Institutions Exiting Bitcoin ‘Cash and Carry’ Arbitrage

January 21st (Bloomberg) — A key arbitrage trade in crypto derivatives markets is unwinding. Wall Street firms had previously used a “cash-and-carry” strategy: buying physical Bitcoin while selling futures to capture the spread. But a flood of capital has sharply narrowed that spread, pushing annualized returns down from roughly 17% a year ago to about 4.7% now — barely enough to cover funding costs. Market participants note the era of nearly risk-free high returns may be over, with traders now shifting to more complex strategies in decentralized markets. CME Group reports institutional investors are diversifying away from Bitcoin into other tokens like Ethereum.
