Happycoin.club - Управление по финансовому надзору (FCA) Великобритании забило тревогу, выяснив, что 8% подростков в возрасте от 13 до 16 лет владеют криптовалютами.

Руководитель FCA Никхил Рати сообщил, что тинейджеры становятся жертвами маркетинговых кампаний, организованных создателями финансовых приложений. Вместо того, чтобы расплачиваться фиатной валютой, некоторые дети устанавливают на смартфоны софт для использования цифровых активов и становятся обладателями виртуальных валют, которые регулятор называет высокорисковыми активами.

По данным FCA, свыше 250 000 подростков владеют криптовалютами. При этом количество тинейджеров, хранивших цифровые активы, в процентном соотношении незначительно уступает числу совершеннолетних британцев, пользующихся токенами и монетами. Так их обладателями оказались около 9% взрослых людей, что в количественном соотношении достигает 5 млн человек.

Британские чиновники скептически относятся к инвестициям в цифровые активы, потому что они несут большой риск вследствие:

  • Высокого уровня волатильности курса криптовалют;
  • Отсутствия должного регулирования.
    • Тем не менее статистика говорит о высокой эффективности капиталовложений как минимум в биткоин. По состоянию на 13 сентября 2024-го BTC возглавлял рейтинг наиболее высокодоходных активов, опережая ценные бумаги, драгоценные металлы и товары. Более того, инвестиции в биткоин обернулись убытками по итогам только трёх лет: 2014-го, 2018-го и 2022-го.

    Ethereum uses less power than British Museum – Here’s what changed

    Ethereum's transition from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) in "The Merge" has drastically reduced its energy consumption. The network now uses approximately 7.87 GWh of electricity annually, less than half the British Museum's usage, marking a reduction of over 99.9% from pre-Merge levels. This has also cut its carbon footprint by 99.98% to an estimated 2.37 kilotonnes of CO2 equivalent per year, comparable to the emissions of about 900 UK households. The Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) reports that Ethereum's infrastructure remains decentralized, though geographically concentrated, with 62% of nodes hosted in the US, Germany, Finland, and France. About 56.4% of its electricity comes from sustainable sources, primarily nuclear and renewables, exceeding the global average. Future developments like stateless verification may further reduce energy needs. Meanwhile, Ethereum's development enters a new phase with "Lean Ethereum," a multi-year overhaul plan for the network's evolution. At the time of reporting, ETH's price saw a slight increase, trading near $1,800.

    Robinhood enters AI crypto trading: ‘World is flat’ presentation reveals US expansion

    Robinhood is expanding its crypto offerings by introducing AI-powered trading agents for eligible U.S. customers, as revealed in its 'World is flat' presentation. These agents will execute crypto trades on a user's behalf, provide real-time profit and loss tracking, and send push notifications, allowing users to set specific strategies without constant monitoring. Robinhood positions this as a major step toward giving retail traders advantages previously held by institutions. The company, which previously launched equities and options trading in the U.S., plans to expand the AI agent service to the UK soon. This move follows similar initiatives by other exchanges like Kraken and Coinbase, which launched AI agentic trading in 2026. However, current usage of such AI trading protocols remains relatively low, with transaction volumes and activity suggesting the market has yet to fully embrace the technology. Robinhood's entry could potentially broaden the adoption of AI-driven crypto trading.

    Robinhood Chain flips Hyperliquid – 2 metrics show speculative interest

    Robinhood Chain, a new Ethereum Layer 2, has rapidly become a major hub for speculative trading, surpassing Hyperliquid and BNB Chain in daily DEX volume. Its volume skyrocketed from under $10 million to a record $600 million, driven largely by viral memecoins like CashCat and a public bet by Robinhood's CEO. This surge has positioned it as the fourth-largest chain for such activity. However, the memecoin frenzy has reignited a broader debate about the value of L2s to Ethereum. Critics, including Bankless's David Hoffman, argue L2s operate as largely independent chains that do not economically benefit ETH. Uniswap CEO Hayden Adams countered that ETH-denominated trading pairs could increase ETH burns. The debate centers on whether L2 growth, while scaling Ethereum, ultimately undermines ETH's value by reducing transaction fees burned on the mainnet.

    Pantera Capital: As Perpetual Contracts Move Towards the Financial Center, Hyperliquid Aims to Be All-Encompassing

    Perpetual futures ("perps"), once a crypto-native phenomenon, are becoming a dominant global financial instrument, evolving into a fundamental market structure shift that traditional finance can no longer ignore. This article outlines the advantages of perpetual contracts over traditional futures, highlighting their simplicity (no expiry/rollover), easier risk management, and native 24/7 operation. While the concept is not new, digital assets provided the ideal environment for its explosive growth. Initially dominated by centralized exchanges (CEX), perps have recently migrated significantly to decentralized exchanges (DEX), with Hyperliquid emerging as the leading DEX for perps, capturing ~40% of the on-chain volume. Hyperliquid, built on its own purpose-built L1 blockchain, has successfully expanded beyond crypto into traditional assets like stocks, commodities, and indices, driven by its permissionless listing framework (HIP-3) and 24/7 availability. It has become a crucial price discovery venue during off-hours and for pre-IPO companies, attracting attention from traditional hedge funds and major exchanges like ICE, which now views it as serious competition. The investment thesis for Hyperliquid's token, HYPE, rests on its large and growing total addressable market (TAM) across all finance, strong execution, superior user experience, and direct value accrual via aggressive token buybacks using 99% of protocol revenue. Key risks remain, primarily regulatory uncertainty in the U.S., though recent CFTC actions approving certain regulated crypto perp contracts signal a potential shift toward broader acceptance. The core question is no longer if perpetuals matter beyond crypto, but whether blockchain-based infrastructure like Hyperliquid can become the primary venue for pricing, trading, and discovering risk across all financial domains.
