Виталик Бутерин: Эфириум — полный антипод криптобиржи FTX

Сооснователь Эфириума Виталик Бутерин противопоставил свой блокчейн банкротящейся криптобирже FTX, назвав централизацию злом, противоречащим принципам блокчейна.

Выступая на аргентинской конференции Ethereum Devconnect, Бутерин раскритиковал бывшего гендиректора FTX Сэма Бэнкмана-Фрида (Sam Bankman-Fried), посвятив ему первый слайд своей презентации. Криптоэнтузиаст заявил: FTX была централизованной биржей, и именно это стало причиной ее провала, поскольку биржа требовала слепого доверия пользователей, не имевших представления о ее внутренних механизмах. В отличие от FTX, основной принцип работы Эфириума — децентрализация. Разработчики внедряют поэтапные обновления, которые открыто предлагаются, изучаются и разрабатываются вместе с сообществом, отметил Бутерин.

Сооснователь Эфириума подчеркнул, что недоверие к централизованным биржам усилилось из-за утечек данных, взломов и неэффективного управления. Поэтому пользователи вынуждены искать другие площадки для торговли криптовалютами. По словам Бутерина, разница между компанией и сообществом заключается в том, что компания представляет собой звездообразную структуру: центральный орган что-то делает и собирает деньги. В ситуации с FTX, биржей управляли несколько влиятельных фигур, уверяющих, что они не будут совершать злодеяний, но в конечном итоге совершили их. Тогда как Эфириум — это децентрализованное сообщество людей, которые все делают в общих интересах.

«Я занимаюсь криптовалютой, потому что хочу изменить мир. FTX — это прекрасный пример того, что происходит, если перевернуть принципы Эфириума на 180 градусов. Суть децентрализованных технологий и блокчейнов в том, что им не обязательно доверять. Поэтому Эфириум не может быть злом», — сказал Бутерин.

В 2024 году бывший гендиректор FTX Сэм Бэнкман-Фрид был признан виновным в мошенничестве и присвоении клиентских средств ради спекулятивных инвестиций аффилированной компании Alameda Research. Суд Южного округа Нью-Йорка приговорил Бэнкмана-Фрида к 25 годам тюрьмы.

Changes in reward and commission systems on cryptocurrency exchanges should be expected due to strategy shifts

As the bear market continued in Q2, leading crypto exchanges Coinbase, Bullish, and Gemini reported declines in trading revenue. In response, they are shifting strategies toward newer products like stablecoins and prediction markets, which is expected to change their reward and commission structures. Coinbase is focusing on its USD Coin (USDC) offerings, with average balances surging 44% to $20 billion, and has cut costs to fund increased USDC rewards. Gemini is tripling down on prediction markets, adding market makers and offering user rebates, though related revenue grew only 18% despite a near-doubling in bets. Bullish, targeting professional traders, launched a new rewards program. While its adjusted transaction revenue fell 21% quarterly, it was still up 24% year-over-year—the only exchange of the three to achieve annual growth. Despite falling trading volumes, commission economics improved for some, like Gemini, even as its overall revenue dropped. If the crypto price rally continues and ends the bear market, trading revenues could recover. However, as exchanges try to reduce dependence on market volatility, users can expect more rewards and incentives for using new products. Competition over fees may also intensify. The blurring lines between crypto and traditional finance platforms could further drive this competition, potentially benefiting retail traders and investors.

Cryptocurrency Transfers Abroad: What Changes for Russians Starting September 1st

From September 1, 2026, a new Russian law will legalize cryptocurrency transfers abroad for citizens. The regulations will allow sending crypto to personal foreign wallets and using it for payments to foreign businesses, provided established rules are followed. The law recognizes crypto as property and introduces a legal framework for its circulation, permitting both qualified and non-qualified investors (with an annual limit of 300,000 rubles for the latter) to buy cryptocurrencies and stablecoins. Notably, using crypto for domestic payments within Russia remains illegal and subject to fines. Companies can use crypto for foreign trade contracts, but these transactions remain under currency control and anti-money laundering (AML) scrutiny. Major banks are increasing oversight of crypto operations, requiring detailed explanations for business transactions, with stricter controls expected from July 2027. While providing new legal avenues, the article warns of risks. Users must choose transfer methods (exchanges, P2P platforms, crypto exchangers) carefully, considering fees, speed, and service reliability. Key risks include service providers freezing transactions, demanding documentation, or blocking accounts. Experts caution that even popular assets like Bitcoin can be tracked or potentially targeted, and sanctions may restrict access to international platforms. Ultimately, while legalized, cross-border crypto transfers will operate within a framework of enhanced state control over fund origins and counterparties.

GensynAI's Jeff Amico States That Real-World Asset (RWA) Investors May Lose Creditor Rights

Jeff Amico of GensynAI warns that investors in Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenized lending pools may lack creditor rights in case of borrower default. He notes a common structure where users receive a yield-bearing stablecoin from a platform, but the underlying loan and collateral are held by separate legal entities. This setup means investors have no enforceable claims against the borrower, the special purpose vehicles (SPVs), or the collateral itself, relying instead on the platform's promise to return funds. Amico emphasizes that investors must first identify who legally owes them money and what credit enhancement mechanisms exist, rather than focusing solely on nominal yield. Protections like collateral or first-loss capital are meaningless unless the lien is properly perfected and an agent is designated to enforce it on the investor's behalf. Investors without a formal credit agreement are particularly vulnerable. He cites Pareto/FalconX as a better model where depositors are direct contractual creditors, though this comes with higher minimum investments and KYC requirements. This highlights a trade-off: the crypto industry's permissionless ideals often conflict with the legal protections required for secure lending. Amico argues that weak legal structures could limit the RWA sector's growth. Traditional finance offers a clear template with defined creditor rights and perfected liens. Tokenized lending needs infrastructure, like oracles, to verify off-chain loan agreement status and collateral perfection, as smart contracts cannot do this autonomously. Ultimately, transparency is key. Some investors may accept weaker protections for open access, while others may prefer stronger legal rights. The legal structure of a lending pool will be as critical as its advertised yield, especially during a default, determining whether a token holder has enforceable rights or merely a platform promise.
