Odaily Planet Daily reports that Caixin.com published an article titled "Building a Firewall Against Virtual Currency to Protect Public's 'Wallets'," which points out that recent speculation in virtual currencies has resurfaced. Establishing a firewall against virtual currencies requires not only the full cooperation of various departments but also the improvement of relevant regulations, enhanced supervision, strengthened technical monitoring capabilities in key areas, and protection of normal economic and trade activities. Data shows that in 2024, relevant departments prosecuted 3,032 people for money laundering crimes, including using virtual currencies to transfer criminal proceeds. Many were drawn into these crimes due to a lack of legal awareness. A scholar's analysis of 283 judgments in cases of money laundering using virtual currencies revealed that criminal groups heavily utilize marginalized youth as tools, exhibiting significant geographical clustering and a high proportion of individuals with only junior or senior high school education. The article emphasizes the need to actively leverage coordination mechanisms and recognize that combating virtual currency speculation will not be achieved overnight; a protracted battle is required. Illegal activities involving virtual currencies differ from other crimes. Judicial research identifies three major challenges and dilemmas in regulating money laundering through virtual currencies: difficulties in tracing funds hinder anti-money laundering investigations; bottlenecks in traditional evidence collection restrict the entire chain of crackdowns; and insufficient legal provisions affect the effectiveness of anti-money laundering regulation. Raising public awareness requires, first and foremost, a deeper understanding and awareness of virtual currencies. Enhancing public awareness of the risks associated with virtual currencies is therefore essential.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, Vitalik Buterin stated on social media that the industry urgently needs a "trustless on-chain gas futures market," similar to a "base fee prediction market," to address users' uncertain expectations regarding future fee trends. He pointed out that many people are concerned that while on-chain fees are currently low, they may rise again in two years. While his proposed BAL, ePBS, and future ZK-EVM scaling paths could increase gas limits, the market still desires clearer price expectations. Vitalik believes that establishing on-chain gas futures instruments would create a clear signal about future fees, allowing users to hedge future gas costs, essentially locking in fee expenditures for a specific timeframe.
