BRC-20 this new token standard boosts activity on Bitcoin
The number of daily registrations of Bitcoin Ordinals constantly hits new records with tokens BRC-20a small revolution for the Bitcoin ecosystem.
THE Ordinals are “digital objects” similar to non-fungible tokens (NFTs), allowing the storage of data such as textof the pictures JPEG/PNGof the PDFof the videos and audio formats on the bitcoin protocol. The BRC-20 standard relies on Ordinal registrations to deploy token contracts and make transfers, much like the standard ERC-20 of Ethereum. The introduction of Ordinals and BRC-20 tokens on Bitcoin was made possible thanks to the soft fork Taprootimplemented on November 14, 2021.
Bitcoin Ordinals have reached 76,374 registrations April 4 according to data from Dune Analytics.
Vitalik wants to integrate zkEVM on Layer 1 Ethereum
Vitalik Buterinthe founder of Ethereum wants the integration of different zero-knowledge proof technologies (ZK) equivalent with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) directly in the Ethereum protocol to speed up the verification of the blockchain, without sacrificing security or decentralization.
Ethereum was designed following a multi-client philosophy to ensure the decentralization of the protocol. By integrating zkEVMs with the first layer of Ethereum, a third type of client would be added, in addition to clients “consensus” And “execution” existing.
The customer consensus uses proof of stake to ensure agreement between network nodes, while the client execution handles new transactions broadcast to the network, executes them within the standard Ethereum virtual machine, and maintains a copy of the current state of the blockchain.
Buterin weighed the pros and cons of viewing Ethereum layer 1 as an evidence storage protocol for layers 2 (clearing house), moving almost all transactional activities to layers 2.
He explained that zkEVMs should be “open ended” to allow different customers to have separate zk-EVM implementations. Each client would wait for a proof compatible with its own implementation before accepting a block as valid.
This approach preserves the “multi-client” paradigm and encourages the development of new clients, thus reinforcing the decentralization of Ethereum at the base layer.
“Each Ethereum node runs a consensus client and a runtime client. To date, no consensus or runtime client represents more than 2/3 of the network. If a client with less than 1/3 share in its category has a bug (crash), the network will just continue as usual. If a client with between 1/3 and 2/3 share in its category (ex: Prism, light house Or Geth) had a bug, the chain would continue to add blocks, but it would stop finalizing blocks, giving developers time to intervene.”
The digital euro (CBDC) will control payments
Unsurprisingly, the President of the European Central Bank (ECB), Christine Lagardeacknowledged that the digital euro would involve a certain level of payment control during a video chat.
Russian comedians Vladimir Kuznetsov (aka “Vovan”) And Alexei Stolaryov (“Lexus”) trapped dozens of world personalities including Christine Lagarde and François Hollande. By imitating Zelensky (the President of Ukraine), one of the comedians pushed Christine Lagarde to admit a form of payment control thanks to the digital euro.
The comments of the President of the ECB have been criticized by the community crypto. Indeed, a digital euro could allow governments and the central bank to spy on consumption habits of individuals and their transactions.

Grayscale could win its lawsuit against the SEC and launch its Bitcoin ETF
GrayScale and the regulatory body Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are engaged in a legal tussle over the conversion of the Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) from Grayscale into a Bitcoin ETF on the spot market.
Rumors are circulating that SEC officials are losing confidence in their chances of winning this lawsuit. Last month, judges questioned the SEC over its multiple refusals to approve the application of Grayscale for its Bitcoin Spot ETF.
If the fund Grayscale wins his case against the DRYthis could lead to theapproval of the first Bitcoin spot ETF and a massive influx of institutional investment.
The SEC is going to lose its case against Grayscale.
Once that happens, the American investing public will see what a child the current SEC leader is when he responds by kicking over his sand castle & dismantling future ETFs vs. letting the spot ETF pass through.
