The slow fog cosine posted on platform X stating that a well-known bot platform was discovered to have related vulnerabilities by a white hat, which could lead to private key leakage. The white hat provided feedback, but it seems there was some controversy regarding the bounty for the vulnerability. The white hat is concerned that this bot platform may face risks similar to the DEXX hacking in the future, and if an investigation leads back to the traces he left at that time, he wants to prove his innocence.
Cosine stated that in order to avoid bias, it is particularly noted that the mention of 'white hat' here does not necessarily mean a white hat, and it cannot be verified who is right or wrong, or who is more right or less right. If this bot platform is hacked in the future, there is some information shared by this white hat that can be used for verification. #DYOR42711

famous journalist Nick Timiraos of The Wall Street Journal, known as the "megaphone" of the Federal Reserve, wrote in his latest article that the Fed's interest rate reduction plan is constantly changing, and investors generally expect a third consecutive rate cut this week. After that, officials are prepared to slow down or even stop the rate cuts.
Timiraos said that Powell is trying to find the right position in a labor market that is not so volatile and inflation that is slightly more stable than in September. Some officials have doubts about continuing rate cuts, and officials who strongly supported the first two rate cuts are no longer so sure.
One option this week is to cut rates by 25 basis points and then strongly suggest that the central bank is prepared to cut rates more slowly using new economic forecasts.

After a mixed bag of data released this week, swap traders have reduced their bets on the Federal Reserve's easing policy path. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.82% this week, the S&P 500 Index dropped 0.64%, ending a three-week streak of gains, while the Nasdaq rose 0.34%. Bitcoin has increased for seven consecutive weeks, marking the longest streak since 2021. The last significant monetary policy week of 2024 will attract investor attention. According to statistics, at least 22 central banks, accounting for two-fifths of the global economy, will set borrowing costs by the close next Friday, and the outcomes are likely to highlight that, as policymakers weigh different risks for the year ahead, the momentum for easing policies now appears increasingly unbalanced. Here are the key points the market will focus on in the new week: Monday 15:30, ECB President Lagarde will speak; Tuesday 04:45, Bank of Canada Governor Macklem will speak; Thursday 03:00, the Federal Reserve will announce the interest rate decision and economic projections summary; Thursday 03:30, Federal Reserve Chair Powell will hold a monetary policy press conference; Thursday (exact time TBD), Bank of Japan will announce the interest rate decision; Thursday 14:30, Bank of Japan Governor Ueda will hold a monetary policy press conference; Thursday 21:30, the U.S. third-quarter annualized GDP growth rate revision, U.S. third-quarter real personal consumption expenditures preliminary rate, U.S. December Philadelphia Fed manufacturing index. It is worth mentioning that the Fed's preferred core inflation measure—the Personal Consumption Expenditures Price Index (PCE)—will be released next Friday, and economists predict that the PCE for November (excluding food and energy) may rise by 0.2%, which would be the smallest increase in three months. This report will also show robust growth in consumer spending and income, indicating economic resilience.

Amazon recently participated in a blockchain tokenization simulation in collaboration with stablecoin company StraitsX and NTT Digital. Typically, Amazon marketplace sellers receive payment every 14 days, but in some cases this may be extended to 90 days. The simulation involves tokenizing these accounts receivable and placing them on an exchange, where creditors can purchase them at a slight discount.
In the simulation, these sellers receive StraitsX XSGD stablecoins packaged as Purpose Bound Money (PBM). Packaging can include conditions for the use of funds or simply ensure compliance with regulations such as KYC.
It should be noted that this is purely a simulation and not a solution planned by Amazon.

after US Senator Lummis proposed that the US government purchase 5% of the Bitcoin supply, Collective Shift founder and CEO Ben Simpson analyzed that if the strategic Bitcoin reserve is approved, the market is expected to become unstable, Bitcoin will rise, and then may fall back. As for the current market conditions, Ben Simpson believes that Bitcoin's dominance (a measure of the percentage of Bitcoin in the total value of the cryptocurrency market) will "begin to decline", and as Bitcoin begins to consolidate around $100,000 and altcoins begin to "rise", the market trend of "rotation" to altcoins has actually begun, but it should not directly enter the so-called altcoin season.
