ETH briefly hit 3700 USDT, up 19.95% in 24 hours

US Congress may pass anti-CBDC bill this week
According to Bitcoin Magazine, U.S. Congressman Emmer revealed that the U.S. Congress intends to pass his anti-CBDC bill this week. Emmer said that the idea of CBDC is not only shocking, but also completely un-American.
Haseeb Qureshi, managing partner of Dragonfly, published an article on the X platform titled Why are all these low float / high FDV coins down bad?, which was about the general poor performance of low float / high FDV tokens recently launched on Binance, triggering discussions on whether the market structure is broken, whether VCs are too greedy, and whether retail investors are being targeted.
Haseeb believes that the current market decline is mainly due to the markets reduced risk appetite for new tokens, rather than the above reasons. Theories such as VC and KOL are dumping the market, retail investors turn to Meme coin trading, and insufficient circulation do not hold true in terms of data.
Haseeb advises market participants to better adjust their expectations and strategies. He believes that the free market will adjust the price issue by itself. If the price of a token falls, other tokens will be repriced at a lower price. Exchanges will push project teams to launch tokens at a lower FDV. Traders who are stuck will only buy at a lower price. VCs will pass this information to founders. The pricing of the B round will be lowered due to the decline in public market expectations. A round investors will start to be alert, which will eventually affect seed investors. Price signals will always be transmitted.
When there is a true market failure, some clever market intervention may be needed. But the free market knows how to fix pricing errors – just change the price. Those who lost money have learned their lesson and are willing to buy these tokens at a lower price. This is why all these tokens are trading at a lower FDV, and future token transactions will be priced accordingly.
Haseeb believes that the decline in overall market sentiment caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East in mid-April was the main reason for the decline in token prices. The markets risk appetite for new tokens decreased, and such tokens were classified as high-risk new tokens and sold off.

Vitalik Buterin: Cryptoeconomic Experiment Orb Land is Cool
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media, The crypto-economic experiment Orb Land is really cool.
Orb Land is a crypto-economic experiment launched by Eric Wall, the founder of Taproot Wizards, which aims to tokenize personal consulting services into NFTs. Holders who purchase Orb will gain the right to ask questions to the creator of Orb and resell this right. Technically speaking, Orb is an improved ERC-721 that supports the ERC-721 interface and all transfer-related functions are restored. Although Orb can be displayed on OpenSea, it cannot be listed for sale on NFT trading markets such as OpenSea, Sudoswap or Blur. In addition, Orb manages ownership functions through auctions and the Harberger tax system.

OKX Ventures announces strategic investment in Bitcoin Layer 2 network Bitlayer
OKX Ventures announced the completion of a strategic investment in Bitlayer. Bitlayer will build the first Bitcoin Layer 2 that is equivalent to Bitcoin security and Turing-complete based on the BitVM paradigm, and is committed to becoming the computing layer of Bitcoin. At the end of April, Bitlayer launched the $50 million developer reward event Ready Player One, which attracted more than 500 project parties to participate, from infrastructure, DeFi, inscriptions, SocialFi, cross-chain bridges and other tracks.
Dora Yue, founder of OKX Ventures, said: Bitcoins native design ensures a decentralized, trustless and highly secure peer-to-peer transaction system. OKX Ventures laid out Bitcoins infrastructure in the early days, such as the application of Rollup and Stacks expansion solutions and Bitcoins DeFi innovation. Bitlayer is positioned as the Bitcoin computing layer. Its characteristics are that it adopts the framework design of BitVMs verification on the off-chain computing chain, combined with DLC (Discreet Log Contract) to achieve a trustless two-way cross-chain bridge. Bitlayer inherits the high security advantage of the Bitcoin network and is also compatible with multiple virtual machine environments including EVM. The Bitlayer mainnet V1 version was launched in April, supporting EVM-compatible environments and two-way cross-chain of mainstream assets. We look forward to enriching the use scenarios of the Bitcoin network in Q3 this year on the premise of product security, innovation in the diversity of digital assets such as NFT, and protecting user privacy.
