🚀 Thai SEC Proposes Regulatory Oversight for Crypto Enterprise Funders
#Thailand #SEC #Cryptocurrency #Regulation #CryptoFunding #FinancialOversight #Blockchain #CryptoCompliance #InvestorProtection
The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (Thai SEC) has proposed extending regulatory oversight to include the funders behind major shareholders of cryptocurrency enterprises. According to ChainCatcher, this proposal aims to ensure that both direct and indirect supporters of these enterprises undergo the same level of regulatory scrutiny as shareholders.
The initiative seeks to curb hidden financial flows and prevent illegal funds from infiltrating crypto businesses. The rules would also apply to those providing financial support through equity acquisitions. The Thai SEC stated that 'significant financial support' includes guarantees, contractual arrangements, or any investment tools that effectively position the funder as an investor. If the primary shareholder is a government-related entity, only the entity-level shareholding will be reviewed.#Thailand #SEC #Cryptocurrency #Regulation #CryptoFunding #FinancialOversight #Blockchain #CryptoCompliance #InvestorProtection

🚀 Ethereum Researchers Explore 'Block-in-Blobs' Proposal to Enhance Scalability
#Ethereum #BlockInBlobs #EIP8142 #Scalability #zkEVM #DataAvailability #DataGas #Biconomy #ERC8211 #DeFi #Blockchain #Validators #ETH
Ethereum researchers are investigating the 'Block-in-Blobs' proposal (EIP-8142) to encode block execution load data into blobs. According to ChainCatcher, this approach allows validators to verify data existence through data availability sampling (DAS) without downloading the entire dataset, thereby reducing bandwidth pressure and improving scalability.
In the zkEVM context, the proposal aims to address the gap in data availability assurance that zero-knowledge proofs cannot cover. It also plans to unify execution gas and blob data usage into a single 'data gas' system. Additionally, Biconomy, in collaboration with the Ethereum Foundation, has proposed ERC-8211, which supports executing multiple operations in sequence under a single signature. This aims to reduce failed transactions and optimize the DeFi interaction experience.#Ethereum #BlockInBlobs #EIP8142 #Scalability #zkEVM #DataAvailability #DataGas #Biconomy #ERC8211 #DeFi #Blockchain #Validators #ETH
