Blockchain analytics platform Bubblemaps published a post on the X platform claiming a single entity claimed $170 million worth of tokens from the MYX airdrop. The platform tracked 100 newly funded addresses with identical on-chain activity, suggesting this is the largest airdrop Sybil attack ever. According to Bubblemaps, approximately 100 addresses received funds through OKX in the month leading up to the MYX airdrop. All transfers occurred around 6:50 AM on April 19th, and all received similar amounts of BNB. These addresses, all eligible for the airdrop, claimed a total of 9.8 million MYX (approximately 1% of the total token supply). Most of these addresses initiated their claims simultaneously: around 5:30 AM on May 7th. These addresses had no on-chain activity prior to claiming MYX, making this a highly unlikely random act.

US employment data is "watered down", increasing pressure on the Fed to cut interest rates
According to Jinshi, the US government's preliminary annual benchmark revision released on Tuesday indicates that US nonfarm payrolls for the 12 months ending in March are expected to be revised downward by 911,000, equivalent to an average monthly decline of nearly 76,000. Final data will be released early next year. Prior to this report, the government's non-seasonally adjusted employment data showed that employers added nearly 1.8 million jobs in the 12 months ending in March, an average monthly increase of 149,000. The revision from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) suggests that the recent slowdown in the labor market follows a period of more modest job growth, potentially laying the groundwork for a series of interest rate cuts beginning next week. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell recently acknowledged increased risks to the job market, and two of his colleagues favored lower borrowing costs in July. Traders widely expect the Fed to announce a rate cut at its next meeting.
U.S. employment data revised sharply downward, with 911,000 fewer jobs added in the year to March
According to Jinshi, the US government said on Tuesday that the US economy likely added 911,000 fewer jobs than previously estimated in the 12 months ending in March, suggesting signs of stagnant job growth even before Trump implemented tough tariffs on imports. Economists had previously estimated that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), part of the US Department of Labor, could lower its employment figures for April 2024 to March 2025 by 400,000 to 1 million jobs. Previously, the employment figures for April 2023 to March 2024 had been revised down by 598,000 jobs. This benchmark revision follows news released last Friday that job growth almost stagnated in August and that June saw the first loss of jobs in four and a half years. In addition to being weighed down by trade policy uncertainty, the labor market is also under pressure from the White House's tightening immigration policies, which are weakening the labor supply. At the same time, businesses' shift to artificial intelligence tools and automation is also dampening demand for labor. Economists believe the downward revision to job growth will have little impact on monetary policy. The Federal Reserve is expected to resume cutting interest rates next Wednesday after pausing its easing cycle in January due to uncertainty about the impact of tariffs.
CBOE plans to launch continuous futures contracts for Bitcoin and Ethereum starting November 10
According to PR Newswire, the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), a subsidiary of CME Group, announced plans to launch Cboe continuous futures contracts on the CBOE Futures Exchange starting November 10, 2025, subject to regulatory review. Initially launching with continuous futures contracts for Bitcoin and Ethereum, this new product line will provide U.S. traders with a simpler and more efficient way to gain long exposure to digital assets, execute trading strategies, and manage risk within the U.S. regulatory, centrally cleared, and brokered framework. Unlike traditional futures contracts, which may require periodic rollovers, Cboe continuous futures contracts are designed to be single, long-dated contracts with maturities of up to 10 years, reducing the need for rollovers over time and simplifying position management. These contracts will be cash-settled and pegged to the real-time spot market price of Bitcoin and Ethereum, respectively, through daily cash adjustments. Funding rates will be calculated using a transparent and replicable methodology.
According to Jinshi, the initial value of the benchmark change in non-farm employment in the United States in 2025 was -911,000, the expected value was -700,000, and the previous value was -598,000.

U.S. Republican lawmakers seek scrutiny of Bitmain and Cango Inc.
According to Bloomberg, U.S. Republican Senator Zachary Nunn called for a federal investigation into Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturers Bitmain and Cango Inc., claiming their growing U.S. operations could pose a national security risk. Nunn noted that Bitmain and Cango "appear to be expanding their U.S. operations through complex ownership structures and financing arrangements, with potential transparency issues for regulators and the public." Representatives for both Bitmain and Cango responded by stating that they strictly abide by all U.S. laws and have no ties to any government or state-owned enterprise. Bitmain stated that it was aware of rumors about its planned acquisition of Cango but that "these rumors are completely untrue." It also denied exploring direct ownership of U.S. power plants and called the suggestion that its mining equipment could impact infrastructure "completely unfounded." Cango stated that it does not comment on "market rumors" or potential mergers and acquisitions. Nunn requested an investigation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), an interagency panel chaired by Bessent and responsible for reviewing national security risks posed by foreign companies entering the U.S. market. Nunn, who serves on a congressional subcommittee that examines U.S.-China competition in defense, technology, and the economy, urged CFIUS to investigate several specific allegations, including “potential ties” between Cango and foreign government actors, Bitmain’s “potential acquisition” of Cango, and Cango’s electricity usage in the United States.

New White House cryptocurrency advisor Patrick Witt calls market structure bill a top priority
According to CoinDesk, Patrick Witt, President Trump's newly appointed cryptocurrency czar, stated in an interview that he will take over from Bo Hines and urge lawmakers to finalize US cryptocurrency policy and implement new stablecoin laws. Two weeks after the US government released a related strategic report, Witt stated that "work continues unabated and we are fully committed to advancing all initiatives." He outlined three top priorities: Senate market structure legislation, swift implementation of the GENIUS stablecoin law, and the establishment of a federal cryptocurrency reserve. Regarding Senate legislation, Witt stated that the draft bill released by the Banking Committee last week showed significant improvements and received positive feedback. The bill is currently seeking comments from Democrats to secure 60 votes for passage. Although the August deadline has fallen short, the White House is maintaining pressure. His office is in regular communication with both drafting committees. The Banking Committee has released its draft, while the Agriculture Committee is slightly behind. Once both committees complete legislation, solicit comments, and vote, the bill will move to the Senate for final approval, requiring strong bipartisan support. Witt believes the Senate bill should be easily passed by the House.

Previously, the agency reiterated its long-standing regulatory framework for foreign trading platforms (FBOTs), allowing some non-U.S. cryptocurrency exchanges regulated by foreign regulators to directly serve U.S. traders by registering with the CFTC as FBOTs (rather than designated contract markets (DCMs)).

Vietnam approves five-year pilot program for crypto asset trading market
According to Zhitong Finance, the Vietnamese government has officially approved a five-year pilot program for cryptoasset trading.

Foreign ownership is capped at 49%, and institutional and individual investors are limited to a single exchange provider. Regarding account opening, Vietnamese citizens and foreign investors holding only cryptoassets are allowed to open trading accounts on licensed platforms.

According to Coindesk, ENA, the governance token of the decentralized finance protocol Ethena, surged on Tuesday, reaching its strongest price since late January, as the protocol took a major step toward activating its fee switch mechanism, which will share protocol revenue with token holders. Listing the token on leading exchange Binance is a key requirement for Ethena to activate the fee switch mechanism, which shares protocol profits with ENA token holders.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and a prominent Ethena investor, stated, "With the listing of USDe on Binance, the ENA fee switch will be activated. This will unlock $500 million in buyback funds." Coingecko data shows that the ENA token is currently trading at $0.8281, up 7% in the past 24 hours and 18.5% in the past seven days.
According to Crypto In America, a group of 12 Senate Democrats released a detailed framework for market structure legislation on Tuesday morning, a strong signal that the minority party is ready to work bipartisan with Republicans on comprehensive cryptocurrency market reform. They argue that the global cryptocurrency market, with a value of nearly $4 trillion and millions of Americans participating, cannot remain in a regulatory limbo. Preventing Trump from profiting from cryptocurrency investments is a primary concern. The framework includes a section specifically prohibiting officials and their families from profiting from digital assets while in office and is described as a roadmap for achieving a bipartisan outcome. Democrats have seven major priorities, including clarifying the CFTC's regulatory authority, clarifying regulatory authority, requiring issuers to disclose information, ensuring platform compliance, preventing illegal financial activities, prohibiting officials and their families from profiting, and ensuring fair and effective regulation. The framework, proposed after the Republican draft, aims to create legislation acceptable to both sides, but controversial provisions (such as ethics clauses and strict regulation of decentralized finance) and the timing of the bill may make its passage more difficult.

According to Cryptoslate, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce warned that Layer 2 blockchains running centralized matching engines may face exchange registration requirements, while advocating for the protection of truly decentralized protocols. In an interview on "The Gwart Show," she distinguished between immutable code on decentralized networks and centralized entities leveraging blockchain transactions. The head of the SEC's cryptocurrency task force believes that truly decentralized protocols cannot be owned and can be used by anyone. Layer 2 solutions, while addressing the MEV problem through centralized transaction ordering, introduce regulatory complexity, and their matching engines deviate from the censorship-resistant nature of blockchains. Peirce stated that matching engines controlled by a single entity are more like exchanges, and operators must consider relevant requirements if trading securities, but the SEC hopes to avoid forcing decentralized protocols to register. She emphasized the importance of protecting smart contracts on fully decentralized Layer 1 networks. Peirce favors letting the community resolve the MEV issue first, prioritizing regulatory intervention. As traditional securities migrate to blockchains, she hopes to protect developers and ensure compliance by centralized intermediaries. She advocates for a distinction between autonomous code and regulated entities, granting decentralized protocols a safe harbor while centralized Layer 2 chains are subject to traditional regulations.
