APTOS FOUNDER MO SHAIKH APPOINTED BY CFTC TO JOIN DIGITAL ASSETS SUBCOMMITTEE
- The US Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has officially added @AptosLabs founder Mo Shaikh to the Digital Assets Subcommittee.
- The subcommittee falls within the Global Markets Advisory Committee which was founded in 1998 and features a host of major executives from traditional financial firms.
- These committees provide the CFTC with advice on how best to regulate financial sectors, including international trade and business per DLNews.
- The Digital Assets Subcommittee itself is now made up of 34 members, hailing from major Web2 and Web3 firms such as Blackrock, Uniswap, Polygon and BNY Mellon.
- The CFTC’s decision to appoint @moshaikhs signals a rising trend across regulators looking to engage with cryptocurrency leaders to hone and refine effective regulation of the sector.
- It is also likely to be seen as a show of confidence from authorities in the future of the Aptos ecosystem itself - currently one of the fastest growing L1 networks in the industry.

Last week started and ended with a calm optimism 🌊
U.S. Employment data was a dud. But traders were looking for an excuse to rally and found it in the disappointing PMI release.
Bad news is good news, so markets for stocks, bonds and crypto went higher.

The Fed is raising rates to cool inflation. 👎
The PMI is evidence it is working. 😃
Rising bond prices = lower interest rates. Not what the Fed wants.😬
Atlanta Fed pres Raphael Bostic, uses the Dark Arts of inflation fighting by threatening rate rises up to 5.25%!🧙
In October 2021, @BNBCHAIN introduced a new mechanism called the #Binance Evolution Protocol—BEP-95.
The BEP-95 mechanism burns $BNB token, aiming to add more value and make its tokenomics more dynamic. The question is, how does it work? (1/9)
@BNBCHAIN BEP-95 burns transaction fees on #BNBChain. The system collects the gas fees and directs them to two different smart contracts: The “System Reward Contract” and the “ValidatorSet Contract.” (2/9)
@BNBCHAIN The System Reward Contract holds a maximum of 100 BNB. 1/16 of gas fees are transferred to this contract until the #BNB holding reaches the maximum amount. System Reward Contract funds are used for “cross-chain package subsidies.” (3/9)
Despite the lack of principal authority, cryptocurrency networks can be upgraded.
However, one of two different mechanisms is needed — "hard forks" and "soft forks.”
Before we get carried away, let's clarify what a blockchain fork is: 🧵 (1/9)
Let's first explain what a software fork is. Forks occur when software is copied and modified.
The original project will still exist, but separately. The new software usually has a different concept.
Thus… (2/9)
A blockchain fork involves copying and altering an existing blockchain to create a new one with its own path.
Several open-source projects used blockchain forks before Bitcoin and Ethereum became popular.
