Нил Кашкари: «Криптовалюты используются только для незаконной деятельности»

investing.ruPublicado em 2024-10-22Última atualização em 2024-10-22

Выступая на мероприятии в мэрии Висконсина, Нил Кашкари (Neel Kashkari) заявил, что большинство криптовалютных транзакций связаны с мошенничеством и противозаконной деятельностью, в том числе с покупкой наркотиков. По мнению Кашкари, люди практически не используют криптоактивы для оплаты товаров и услуг.

Кашкари критикует криптовалюты с 2018 года. Он неоднократно заявлял, что криптоиндустрия полна шумихи, мошенничества и обмана, а биткоин не имеет реальной ценности и в основном используется для спекуляций. В 2020 году Кашкари назвал криптовалюты «полыхающим мусором».

Партнер Castle Island Ventures Ник Картер (Nic Carter) обеспокоен, что подобные комментарии Кашкари могут негативно отразиться на общественном восприятии криптовалют, поскольку ФРБ входит в десятку главных финансовых регуляторов в мире.

Партнер Brown Rudnick Хейли Леннон (Hailey Lennon) тоже назвала комментарии Кашкари об использовании криптовалют ошибочными. По ее словам, криптоиндустрия борется с этим ложным повествованием уже десять лет. Леннон пояснила, что многие законопроекты о криптовалютах включают меры по борьбе с отмыванием денег. К тому же, наличные деньги являются предпочтительным методом финансирования незаконной деятельности и покупки наркотиков, написала Леннон в соцсети Х.

В прошлом году Нил Кашкари высказался и против цифровых валют центральных банков, усомнившись, что государственные стейблкоины способны повысить скорость переводов и платежей.

15 Reasoning Models Flip Collectively: Unpacking the Latent Risks Hidden in the Chain of Thought Behind Their Outputs

"15 Reasoning Models Collectively Fail: Revealing Hidden Risks in Chain-of-Thought Outputs" A systematic study led by researchers from Harvard, USC, Brown, and MIT warns that evaluating only the final output of large reasoning models (LRMs) is insufficient for safety. The research highlights that the intermediate reasoning chains (CoT) these models expose can contain dangerous content—like bomb-making instructions or poisoning recipes—even when the final answer appears safe. The core methodology involves separately assessing the reasoning chain and the final answer against 20 safety principles, each scored 1-5 for risk. This identifies three key failure modes: 'Unsafe' (both stages unsafe), 'Leak' (unsafe reasoning but safe answer), and 'Escape' (safe reasoning but unsafe answer). The team evaluated 15 reasoning models on a combined in-distribution dataset of 41K prompts from seven public harmful/jailbreak datasets. A universal finding across all 15 models was that reasoning chains are consistently riskier than final answers. Risk is concentrated in categories like misinformation, illegal activity, bias, and physical/psychological harm, with illegal compliance showing the starkest divergence. Case studies reveal instances where harmful operational details are 'leaked' in reasoning or a seemingly harmless chain 'escapes' into a dangerous final answer. To mitigate this, the researchers propose 'Adaptive Multi-Principle Steering,' a white-box, test-time intervention method. It identifies unsafe principles being activated during reasoning and gently steers the model's internal representations towards safer directions. Validated on open-source models, this approach reduced unsafe outputs by up to 40.8% while preserving 97.7% of benchmark performance. The work underscores the critical need to monitor and secure the entire reasoning process, not just the final output.

Chainlink CCIP Solana Support Keeps LINK’s Infrastructure Story In Focus

Chainlink's CCIP v1.6 upgrade introduces support for Solana, marking a significant step toward a more virtual machine-agnostic protocol. This expansion beyond EVM chains enhances flexibility for developers and token issuers seeking secure cross-chain interoperability for assets and applications. The upgrade reduces costs, accelerates chain expansion, and strengthens the Cross-Chain Token standard narrative. For LINK, this underscores Chainlink's long-term infrastructure strategy to become essential connective tissue in a fragmented, multi-chain crypto ecosystem, particularly for growing sectors like tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins, and DeFi. While adoption may be gradual, Solana integration positions Chainlink within a key high-throughput ecosystem, aligning with the broader market need for standardized, secure cross-chain communication.

XRP Holds The $1 Line As Altcoin Traders Wait For Direction

XRP is trading around $1.06, holding the psychologically important $1 support level while the broader cryptocurrency market awaits direction. This level is not technically significant but matters as a key sentiment gauge watched by traders. Maintaining above $1 keeps bullish hopes alive, while a sustained break below could damage sentiment and trigger further declines. Currently, XRP is not leading the market but surviving it, acting as a patient trade in a cautious environment. Its ability to hold this level depends on broader market stability and whether buyers can actively push the price higher, turning the psychological floor into a real base for recovery.

Bitcoin may not be done capitulating – Why a $50K bottom is still in play

Bitcoin faces potential further downside toward $50,000 despite long-term holder (LTH) resilience. Currently, LTHs control a record 78% of supply and are accumulating rather than selling during the downturn, diverging from historical capitulation patterns seen at market bottoms. However, with BTC posting seven consecutive monthly losses—short of the nine that marked prior cycle bottoms in 2018 and 2022—the capitulation phase may not be over. Shifting macroeconomic expectations, with markets pricing in potential Fed rate hikes instead of cuts, add pressure. If history repeats, LTH capitulation could trigger a final washout, driving Bitcoin toward $50,000 by Q3's end before a durable bottom forms.

MSTR Discloses Sale of 3,588 Bitcoins, Stock Price Drops Over 5% at One Point During Trading

MicroStrategy, the world's largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, has significantly shifted its business model. Between June 29 and July 5, the company sold 3,588 bitcoins for approximately $216 million to fund quarterly dividends for its preferred stock. This marks its largest-ever Bitcoin sale and signals a strategic pivot: Bitcoin is transitioning from a "buy-and-hold" reserve asset to a liquidity management tool for the company. This move follows a recent authorization allowing Bitcoin sales when equity fundraising is less attractive. The announcement contributed to a more than 5% intraday drop in MicroStrategy's stock price, while Bitcoin fell to around $61,800—below the company's average holding cost of roughly $75,700. The sale represents a major departure from MicroStrategy's long-standing "never sell" commitment, which saw its first minor breach in May with a $2.5 million sale. The latest, hundred-times-larger transaction underscores growing financial pressures. Analysts note the company faces about $1.5 billion in annual preferred dividend obligations, far exceeding cash flow from its software business. As of July 5, MicroStrategy holds 843,775 bitcoins. Its current operational logic involves buying Bitcoin during favorable financing conditions and selling portions to cover dividends when needed, creating a flexible capital management cycle amidst a challenging market environment.
