🕵️ Vitalik Buterin proposed “transaction simulation” to enhance Ethereum wallet and smart contract security and user experience. Users would specify on-chain intent, review simulated outcomes, and then confirm or cancel, using tools like spending limits and multisig to align intent and risk. The aim is to simplify low-risk actions while making high-risk ones more challenging. Given the complexity of intent, systems should require overlapping intent signals and execute only when consistent, focusing on both security and user experience. link
🕵️ Missouri’s 103rd General Assembly introduced House Bill 2080 (Rep. Keathley) to create a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Fund in RSMo Chapter 30.

Foreign or illegal involvement is prohibited. U.S. crypto partners may assist, and biennial reports on holdings and security are required. A simple donation process and recognition program are provided, and government agencies must accept approved crypto payments. link

🇺🇸🕵️ The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) staff recently released a FAQ clarifying that they do not object to broker-dealers applying a 2% haircut to stablecoin holdings for net capital purposes. This means that such holdings can count toward net capital requirements, allowing $100 million in stablecoins to be counted as $98 million. Previously, broker-dealers were uncertain whether USD-pegged stablecoins required a 100% haircut, which prevented their inclusion in net capital. #regulation link
