21Shares Submits Dogecoin ETF Filing in the United States

On April 18th, as reported by Cryptoslate, during a recent episode of the The Chopping Block podcast discussion, it was revealed that Mantra and its affiliated liquidity provider took advantage of a vulnerability in the self-reporting system of a data aggregator to manipulate the liquidity metric of the OM token. They distorted the circulating supply and trading volume to give a false impression of market activity. The Mantra team worked together with the liquidity provider to simulate token trades between controlled addresses and exchanges, inflating the data without significant natural participation. On-chain observers stated that the truly liquid supply of the OM token is less than 1%, yet it appears to be a top 25 asset in terms of market capitalization. This strategy exploited a loophole in the validation process of CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, as both platforms rely on self-reported data from project teams and do not cross-reference it with exchange listing information an

On April 18th, as per the report by Cointelegraph, the cryptocurrency research firm Galaxy Research has put forward the "Multiple Election Stake-Weight Aggregation" (MESA) mechanism within the Solana community in order to reduce the inflation rate of SOL. Researchers describe this proposal as a "more market-oriented approach to determining the future SOL inflation rate." In contrast to traditional "yes/no" binary voting, MESA enables validators to vote on multiple inflation reduction proposals, and the final result is determined through a weighted average. Galaxy stated: "Rather than continuously toggling between inflation reduction proposals until one is passed, it is preferable to allow validators to assign voting weights to one or more proposals, and then take the weighted results of all 'yes' votes as the final issuance curve." This mechanism was inspired by the previous SIMD-228 proposal. Although the community generally supports reducing the SOL inflation rate, the binary votin

On April 18th, as per Cointelegraph, Bitcoin has reached a Realized Cap of $872 billion, attaining a brand-new all-time high. Nevertheless, Glassnode's data indicates that investors' enthusiasm for the present Bitcoin price level is still lacking. Despite the new all-time high in Realized Cap, the monthly growth rate of this metric has plummeted to 0.9%, suggesting that the market is in a "risk-off" sentiment. Realized Cap measures the total value of all Bitcoin calculated based on the price of their last transfer, reflecting the actual capital inflow and can be utilized to observe Bitcoin's economic activity. The decelerating growth implies that although there is still a net inflow of funds, it has significantly diminished, indicating a decrease in the number of new investors or a weakening of the activity of existing holders. In addition, Glassnode's Realized Profit and Loss chart has recently witnessed a substantial 40% decline, indicating a considerable amount of profit-taking or
