Recently, BUSD suffered a regulatory assault from the US government's SEC. The SEC sued Paxos using BUSD as an entry point for unregistered securities. Subsequently, NYDFS, the New York State Department of Financial Services, instructed Paxos to stop casting new BUSDs, and CZ also stated that "product adjustments will be made accordingly. For example, BUSD will no longer be used as the primary currency equivalent for trading.It can be foreseen that BUSD will gradually fade out of the historical stage of stable currency, and given that BUSD is the ace stable currency of BNBChain, what changes will happen to the stable currency ecosystem of BNBChain (formerly known as Anzhineng Chain) after this flag falls?The current status of stable coin ecology in BNBChainAccording to statistics from Defellama, the total market value of the stable coin ecosystem on BNBChain has exceeded $9 billion, with BUSD accounting for 53% of the market, with a market value of approximately $4.8 billion.Subsequently, USDT has a market value of approximately 3.2 billion US dollars (35%), USDC has a market value of approximately 780 million US dollars (8.67%), and some stable currencies with a market value below 100 million US dollars, such as USDDDDaiHAY.According to Paxos, BUSD can still be redeemed until at least February 2024. Although there is a buffer period of at least one year, facing the outflow of billions of dollars of stable currency, the question before us is, how will this stir up the stable currency ecosystem of BNBChain?Is it to stimulate the development of decentralized stable currency?Or strengthen the dominant position of USDT/USDC in BNBChain?For the former, CZ has responded to the suggestion of building a decentralized stable currency similar to DAI in the future, saying that at this juncture, we would prefer others to do so to make it more decentralized. We cannot do everything.Looking back at the two contestants HAY& VAI, currently with a stable currency market value of only tens of millions, seems to have an upper limit on its own track even if we optimistically imagine that such projects can carry the banner. It has developed well like DAI on Ethereum, and its stable currency market value is only about $5 billion. When converted to BNBChain, it still cannot match the scale of centralized stable currencies like BUSD.So currently, it seems that it is most reasonable for USDT/USDC to inherit the market share of the stable currency that BUSD has exited. But what we need to know here is that in fact, USDTUSDC officially does not issue native stable coins on BNBChain. Strictly speaking, BNBChain does not have native centralized US dollar stable coins, including BUSD, which is essentially a Binance PegToken. The original assets (i.e. BUSD on Ethereum) are held by the Coin Security official, and the issued BEP20Token is anchored 1:1 on BNBChain.Binance-PegTokenBTokenDue to the fact that most users only need to focus on the application experience level, they do not have a deep understanding of the specific underlying attributes of various assets. In fact, in the early stages of the launch of BNBChain (originally named BSC), in order to attract external high-quality assets such as BTCETH and stable coins, Coin An launched the Token Canal program, which is essentially similar to Wrapped Assets. Coin An officially serves as the processing center for the custody of native assets and the issuance and redemption of packaged assets.Binance-PegTokenBTokenAccording to the official mortgage reserve certificate of Coin An for BTokens, we understand that there are currently 97 BTokens, including approximately 5.4 billion ERC20BUSD reserves, corresponding to approximately 4.8 billion BEP20BUSD and other corresponding BUSDs for each chain.Previously, NYDFS emphasized that Paxos was authorized to issue BUSD on the Ethereum blockchain, but the department has not yet authorized Binance PegBUSD on any blockchain.It seems that the real motivation of NYDFS is actually BinancePeggedBUSSD, rather than concerns about whether there is 100% reserve support. After all, this piece of coin security has publicly and transparently proven reserves, and BinancePeggedBUSSD, a packaged asset, strictly speaking, is created by the on chain behavior of coin security. Therefore, should NYDFS/SEC point its finger at coin security, and USDTUSDC also has a corresponding BinancePegged, Will TetherCircle also have the same problem passively? Or is it just an excuse, essentially just a targeting?Of course, even if it is targeted, it may still be related to the original measure of coin security supporting BUSD, which automatically converts USDC, USDP, and TUSD to BUSD by default. After all, with the support of coin security, more scenarios of BUSD may lean towards BNBChain, which may lead to a misunderstanding that BinancePeggedBUSD, a packaged asset, is the only native asset.How will the exit of BUSD stir up the stable coin ecosystem of BNBChain?Now we return to the initial question of "How will the exit of BUSD stir up the stable coin ecosystem of BNBChain", and the answer seems relatively clear. For the decentralized stable coin track, it will have a certain boost, but the potential wave generated is limited; It is likely that BinancePeggedUSDTUSDC has given way to the demand for these stable currencies, and the gradual withdrawal of BUSD may also be negative for the BNBChain ecosystem.As for whether BinancePeggedUSDTUSDC will be subject to the same regulatory restrictions on "issuance" authorization, such concerns can be temporarily put aside. Although Binan does not have a compliant custody license like BitGo, the custodian of WBTC, its asset custody reserves are open and transparent, and regulation should not be so exhaustive.

Reporter | Si LinweiAfter the successful upgrade of "Merge", which is closely watched by the entire network, the cryptocurrency market, including Ethereum, has not been able to break out of its independent market.On September 20th, the latest market data showed that Ethereum's current quotation reached $1360, a weekly drop of 20%; Bitcoin also fell to the critical $20000 level, quoting $19312, a weekly decline of 13

During today's trading session, Ethereum and cryptocurrency markets have shown strength and are trading in green. The expectations surrounding the upcoming major upgrade of ETH in "Shanghai" may support a positive price trend

Pengpai News Reporter Wang HuirongThe blockchain network Ethereum behind the world's second largest cryptocurrency, Ethereum (ETH), will officially "merge" on September 6th.On August 24th local time, the Ethereum Foundation posted a blog stating: "After years of hard work, Ethereum's Proof of Rights (PoS) upgrade has finally arrived! The successful upgrade of all public testing networks has been completed, and the merger of Ethereum's main network is already being arrangedThe transition from proof-of-work (PoW) to proof of equity (PoS) of Ethereum main network is called "merger"

Reported by Zhao Yi, Hu Jinhua, a reporter from China Times (www.chinatimes

After the current overall market adjustment, Ethereum experienced a reversal in the middle of the week. This correction was accompanied by a sharp drop near $1900 and has remained calm since then

On September 15th at 14:00, the world's second largest blockchain Ethereum "Merge" was completed, and the main network was combined with the PoS consensus layer beacon chain (Beacon chain). Merger has become one of the most important events in the history of encryption by the market. After the completion of the "merger", Ethereum has successfully "merged" from the proof-of-work to the equity certificate. The mechanism after the "merger" will bid farewell to the era of large-scale mining. Reporters from Beijing Youth Daily saw on the blockchain forum that many former blockchain "miners" were lamenting the end of an era. Will blockchain 'miners' who were once popular lose their jobs? What impact will this have on the global mining machinery industry chain?The merger will reduce energy consumption by 99.95%According to OKLink data, Ethereum, the world's most active blockchain network, triggered a merge mechanism at block height 15537393 and produced the first PoS block (height 15537394). Since then, the Ethereum consensus has officially transitioned from PoW to PoS mechanism, completing the "TheMerge" upgrade. This will bring significant changes to the Ethereum network, including a 99.95% reduction in energy consumption and a 90% reduction in ETH issuance. According to CoinMarketCap data, the real-time price of Ethereum is approximately $1590, with a price drop of approximately 1.11% within 24 hours. Afterwards, it regained the $1600 level and had a market value of over $190 billion.Merging new mechanisms to bid farewell to the era of large-scale mining machinery "mining"Ethereum is a public blockchain platform, with its cryptocurrency being Ethereum ETH. Under the traditional "proof-of-work" mechanism, in the past few years, a large number of "mine owners" have purchased high-performance graphics cards to dig ETH mines. For miners, if they mine on the Ethereum main network, after merging, each network will operate entirely based on the PoS proof of rights mechanism. At that time, the traditional proof-of-work mining will no longer be available on the Ethereum network. Ethermine, the world's largest Ethereum ore pool, announced the termination of proof-of-work related services, and will no longer follow the proof-of-work bifurcation.Ethereum originally used the PoW (proof of work) proof-of-work mechanism, and the "miners" of the node competed for the packaging right according to the computing power and obtained the packaging reward. Nowadays, relying on the PoS (proof of stack) equity proof mechanism, Ethereum bid farewell to the era of large-scale mining machines "mining". Holders can "mine" by pledging Ethereum tokens (ETH), with a pledge threshold of 32 ETHs.Will the merger of Ethereum result in a significant unemployment of traditional blockchain miners?Will the merger of Ethereum result in a significant unemployment of traditional blockchain miners?MessariThe Merge 190 POW GPU Web3
