ETH March Insight

Coinbase has provided arguments from legal, technical, and economic perspectives to support the approval of Grayscale Ethereum Spot ETF.

On February 22nd, Coinbase responded to a request for comments from the U.S. SEC regarding Grayscale Ethereum Trust (ETHE) transitioning into a spot ETF.

Both before and after the Ethereum merger, entities such as the SEC, CFTC, and the market have not considered ETH a security but rather a commodity.

Additionally, they highlighted the strong governance capabilities of Ethereum’s proof-of-stake, which reduce risks of fraud and manipulation. Economically, they argued that ETH has flexibility comparable to BTC in meeting the criteria for ETP approval by regulatory bodies.

Coinbase expressed their commitment to supporting innovation and fostering a transparent, secure, and inclusive financial ecosystem through ongoing dialogue and research.

Regarding the ETHGlobal hackathon, on February 22nd, ETHGlobal announced the seven projects that made it to the final round. These projects include:

2. VeriBot: utilizes zkML to prove (closed) source code is free of vulnerabilities.

3. zkDL: an identity verification project using zero-knowledge proofs to protect user privacy.

4. 0xShadows: a multisig wallet allowing owners to anonymously submit/approve/deny transactions.

5. ZK open banking: a fully private open banking protocol supported by the aztec network.

6. EVMTrace: aims to reveal the use of cryptographic technologies on-chain by collecting data using techniques such as tracing, tracking precompiles, pattern recognition, and manual work.

7. Myriad: a new way to engage with DAOs to derive actual enjoyment, allowing users to create and participate in DAO platforms.

Ethereum Foundation: The Dencun mainnet upgrade is expected to be activated on March 13th at 21:55 UTC.

Vitalik Buterin: Total value locked (TVL) should not be the goal, but a necessary evil

According to PANews, Vitalik Buterin posted on Warpcast that total value locked (TVL) should not be the goal, but a necessary evil. Every dollar locked up in a protocol (especially an immature one) rather than in a secure and simple wallet is a security risk in some way. He stressed that sometimes we need to take such risks to gain valuable benefits, but lockdowns for the sake of lockdowns should be minimized.
