Odaily Planet Daily reports that Jupiter DAO has launched a governance vote on a "zero net emission" proposal for the JUP token, which will continue until February 22nd. The proposal aims to prevent further token dilution and improve JUP's current historically low price performance by canceling the 2026 Jupuary airdrop. The vote offers two options: Option 1 is to proceed with the Jupuary airdrop as planned, with an airdrop query tool launching approximately one week after the vote and distributing 200 million JUP, while continuing the existing team allocation and Mercurial incentive program; Option 2 is to postpone the Jupuary airdrop indefinitely, returning the prepared 700 million tokens to the community cold multisignature wallet, and suspending the emission of the team's reserved share. If Option 2 passes, Jupiter will use its balance sheet funds to buy back tokens released into the market to offset selling pressure from Mercurial holders.

According to AMLBot monitoring, approximately two-thirds of cryptocurrency security incidents in 2025 will be driven by social engineering rather than technical vulnerabilities. An AMLBot report shows that 65% of the cases it reviewed last year involved access and response failures, including compromised devices, weak verification, and detection delays, rather than vulnerabilities in the blockchain or smart contracts themselves. Among various fraud cases, investment fraud accounted for the highest proportion at 25%, followed by phishing at 18%, and compromised devices at 13%. In the past three months, identity theft attacks have resulted in at least $9 million in digital asset losses. AMLBot CEO Slava Demchuk stated that identity theft is the most destructive method of social engineering fraud, with attackers often impersonating exchange support teams, investment partners, or project managers. Users should be wary of urgent requests involving fund transfers or wallet access.

Huoxun Finance reported on February 18th that, according to Cointelegraph citing the Financial Times, European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde is considering stepping down before her term expires in October 2027, allowing French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Anders Merz to reach an agreement on her successor before the French presidential election in April 2027. An ECB spokesperson subsequently responded that Lagarde is "fully focused on her mission and has not yet made any decisions regarding the end of her term." Lagarde's potential early departure comes at a crucial time for the ECB's digital euro initiative. Under her leadership, the ECB has continued to advance preparations for the digital euro and has repeatedly emphasized the need to manage the risks of stablecoins and other private digital currencies within the framework of the EU's Crypto-Asset Market Regulation Act. Lagarde herself has long been critical of crypto assets such as Bitcoin, having called them "highly speculative," "worthless," and "without any underlying asset backing." A change in the leadership of the European Central Bank could affect the institution’s communication priorities and focus on the regulation of the digital euro, stablecoins, and crypto-related payment arrangements, even though the overall regulatory direction has been determined at the EU level.
