В Огайо начнут принимать оплату госуслуг криптовалютами

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2025-09-16Last updated on 2025-09-25

Совет по депозитам американского штата Огайо единогласно одобрил поставщика услуги приема платежей в биткоинах и других криптовалютах за государственные услуги и пошлины.

Совет поддержал инициативу госсекретаря Огайо Фрэнка Лароуза (Frank LaRose) и казначея Огайо Роберта Спрейга (Robert Sprague), продвигавших идею интеграции криптоактивов в систему бюджетных расчетов. Лароуз рассказал, что через его офис ежегодно проходят сотни тысяч платежных операций и растет спрос на криптовалютные платежи. Госсекретарь заявил, что рад стать первым, кто предоставит эту возможность жителям штата. Чиновник ранее поддержал создание криптовалютного госрезерва Огайо.

«Мы входим в пятерку лучших американских штатов для ведения бизнеса. Дело в том, что мы не боимся использовать новые инструменты, тенденции и технологии, которые стимулируют бизнес переезжать сюда и создавать рабочие места», — заявил Лароуз.

Казначей штата Роберт Спрейг назвал использование цифровых активов способом идти в ногу со временем. Предложение чиновников признать криптовалюты средством для совершения финансовых транзакций было единогласно одобрено Советом по депозитам в мае, за пять месяцев до утверждения контракта с поставщиком.

В феврале законодатели Огайо представили законопроект, запрещающий местным властям взимать дополнительные налоги и сборы с цифровых активов, используемых в качестве платежного средства. Законопроект подразумевает, что ни одно госучреждение или ведомство не может запрещать физлицам расплачиваться криптовалютами за товары и услуги.

Aave Withdrawal, TVL Plunges: Where is MegaETH's Valuation Anchor?

MegaETH, once a highly anticipated new blockchain, has seen a dramatic decline in its Total Value Locked (TVL) and token price. According to DefiLlama data, its TVL plummeted nearly 60% in 24 hours, falling to just over $30 million from a May peak, with the Aave V3 protocol withdrawing 80% of its liquidity. The MEGA token price dropped to around $0.048, with a market cap of ~$54 million and a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of ~$480 million. The analysis identifies three key mismatches between MegaETH's valuation and its fundamentals. First, its high FDV contrasts with minimal real usage: low protocol revenue (~$90k/30 days) and few daily active addresses. Second, its DeFi narrative is contradicted by its revenue structure, where a collectible card game (Monster) generates most income, not major DeFi protocols like Aave. Third, initial hype from VC backing and airdrop farming has faded without sustained user adoption or clear applications. The TVL was heavily concentrated in Aave and largely driven by cyclical arbitrage strategies involving stablecoins like USDm and USDe. As the yield for these strategies diminished, funds rapidly exited. The departure of this speculative capital has exposed a lack of substantial, organic ecosystem activity. While the sharp drop could be seen as a correction from inflated expectations, the article suggests MegaETH's valuation lacks a solid foundation. Future price movements may rely on short-term market sentiment rather than genuine improvement in network fundamentals, such as increased real usage, a diversified application ecosystem, and consistent user growth. The situation reflects a broader market trend of demanding clearer value propositions beyond just high TVL figures.

3 crypto attacks in 24 hours – From fake apps to a $14.2M SOL theft

The cryptocurrency space witnessed a high volume of attacks within 24 hours, highlighting several major security threats. First, fraudsters targeted SecondFi by creating fake browser extensions and apps to steal crypto; the company clarified its official channels and warned against unsolicited links. In a separate incident, a compromised early Solana whale wallet led to the theft of 180,900 SOL (worth $14.2 million), with the stolen funds being bridged to Ethereum and laundered via Tornado Cash. Finally, the jscrambler npm package suffered a supply chain attack where stolen credentials were used to publish malicious versions containing an information-stealing payload. These events underscore the prevalence of phishing, wallet exploits, and software supply chain vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need for vigilance, verifying official sources, and prompt software updates.

Bitcoin price holds above $60K – But is a BTC bull trap brewing?

Bitcoin (BTC) is holding above the crucial $60,000 support level despite renewed macroeconomic uncertainty, including rising oil prices. While historical patterns link higher oil prices with crypto market corrections, BTC's current strength diverges from this trend. The market has cleared over $13 million in long liquidations, potentially removing excess leverage and setting the stage for a rebound toward $65,000-$70,000. Key on-chain data shows whales are accumulating long positions, especially near recent lows, while retail sentiment remains bearish. However, a persistent negative 30-day Spot Demand metric indicates new BTC supply isn't being fully absorbed by buyers. The article concludes that Bitcoin's future trajectory depends on whether improving spot demand can support the whale-driven accumulation, or if the current consolidation will prove to be a bull trap.

Ethereum whales add $20.6M in ETH – Is $2,000 within reach?

Ethereum (ETH) has reclaimed and held the $1,800 price level. Despite struggles to maintain a clear uptrend, large-scale investors, or "whales," are actively accumulating. On-chain data reveals two significant whale purchases totaling 11,306 ETH, worth approximately $20.59 million. This accumulation aligns with broader market signals showing sustained demand: exchange netflows have been negative for eight consecutive days—the longest streak this year—indicating more ETH is being withdrawn from exchanges than deposited. Consequently, the available supply on exchanges has decreased, with the Exchange Supply Ratio hitting a three-week low. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains above 50, supporting a bullish momentum. For ETH to target the $2,000 level, it must maintain its position above the short-term moving average at $1,778. Continued accumulation and controlled supply could pave the way for further price appreciation.
