Huoxun Finance reported on November 27th that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published an article on the X platform stating that encrypted communication tools like Signal are crucial for protecting user digital privacy. Currently, there are two key directions for advancement in this field: enabling permissionless account creation and ensuring metadata privacy. The instant messaging applications Session and SimpleX are actively exploring these directions. To this end, Buterin donated 128 ETH to each of them. However, Buterin pointed out that these two software programs are still imperfect and have not yet reached the ideal user experience and security performance. He stated, "Achieving strong metadata privacy protection requires decentralization, but decentralization is difficult, and users' demand for multi-device support adds to the difficulty. At the same time, achieving Sybi/DoS resistance capabilities on the message routing network and user end (not forcibly relying on mobile phone numbers) further increases the technical difficulty. These complex issues urgently require more professional attention and research."

Huoxun Finance News, November 27th - According to Reuters, the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), an international non-profit organization of major global stock exchanges, stated in a letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) this week that the regulator's proposed plan to allow crypto companies to sell "tokenized" stocks without regulation could harm investor interests. Several crypto companies plan to sell crypto tokens linked to listed stocks; however, to sell such products in the U.S., unregistered crypto companies need a no-action letter or exemption from the SEC. SEC Chairman Paul Atkins stated that the agency is working on developing an "innovation exemption" provision in securities law to allow crypto companies to experiment with new business models. The WFE letter points out that exemptions could pose risks to market integrity and weaken investor protection. WFE CEO Nandini Sukumar stated, "The SEC should avoid granting exemptions to companies attempting to circumvent regulatory principles that have protected markets for decades." The SEC published the WFE letter on its website but declined to comment. James Aulipie, head of the WFE technical working group, said: "We and cryptocurrency platforms should compete on a level playing field, and we should be subject to the same rules."
