- Zksync Airdrop Confirm?
Token commitments to insiders: Multiple people from ZkSync (Alex Gluchowski, Steve Newcomb, Marco Cora) confirmed that there will be a token. They mentioned that ⅓ of the tokens are reserved for insiders. \[2] This sounds like they have already made a commitment to allocate tokens to key stakeholders. Why would they not launch a token? A token is the best way to monetize your project and get the support of relevant people\

A Token for the Zk Porter: So, I’m collecting every bit of information about the airdrop that I could find & by coincidence I stumbled upon something interesting: The ZkPorter. The ZkPorter is the off-chain Data availability layer for ZkSync. As you know ZkSync validates transactions off-chain in order to scale better. That's what the ZkPorter is for. Anyway, after learning about the ZkPorter, I watched the Bankless interview with Alex Gluchowski from ZkSync and he said something along the lines of \[1]: “We need a token because that's how the ZkPorter will be validated”
- Ethereum Hard Fork Coin ETHW Down More Than 95% Since The Merg
**Nearly a year after Chandler Guo — the instigator of the Ethereum blockchain’s last hard fork — predicted its rise, the native coin of the breakaway Ethereum proof-of-work blockchain has plummeted by more than 95%. Ethereumpow (ETHW) now trades at a price less than 1% of the U.S. dollar value of ether. The team behind the Ethereum proof-of-work network acknowledged in March that the protocol’s prospects may not be as bright as they were in September 2022.**
- VanEck, ARK filings officially start clock for spot Ethereum ETFs: Analyst
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart expects more spot Ethereum ETFs to be filed in the coming days.
The race for the United States’ first spot Ethereum exchange-traded fund has officially begun after new 19b-4 filings by the Chicago Board Options Exchange, which will “ultimately start the clock” for a Securities and Exchange Commission decision.
On Sept. 6, the CBOE filed two 19b-4 applications to the United States securities regulator, requesting for the ARK 21Shares Ethereum ETF and VanEck Ethereum ETF investment products to be listed on CBOE’s BZX Exchange.
In a series of tweets, Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted that as opposed to the previously submitted S-1 filings, the 19b-4 filings mean that the countdown for a decision by the SEC is now in motion.
“The Spot #Ethereum ETF Race is officially on,” Seyffart declared, estimating a final deadline around May 23, 2024.
- House Financial Services Comm. witnesses air multiple anti-CBDC arguments
The digital assets subcommittee heard from five witnesses on a U.S. CBDC, most of whom had little good to say about it.
A chorus of disapproval rang out from the halls of the United States Congress on Sept. 14 as a House of Representatives subcommittee held a hearing on the “digital dollar dilemma.” Five expert witnesses were scheduled to testify at the hearing, and most of them argued against creating a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC), or a digital dollar.
Partisan divisions were on full display as the hearing opened, with subcommittee chair French Hill saying, “There is no support for a CBDC in Congress except from those on the fringes." Rep. Tom Emmer called CBDCs “a tool the Communists have."
Subcommittee ranking member Stephen Lynch warned of "false narratives and fear mongering, much of it coming from the cryptocurrency industry itself," and announced the creation of a congressional Digital Dollar Caucus.
The five witnesses slated to speak at the hearing — held by the Financial Services Subcommittee on Digital Assets, Financial Technology and Inclusion — were Digital Asset CEO Yuval Rooz, senior vice president of the Bank Policy Institute Paige Paridon, the University of Pennsylvania’s Christina Parajon Skinner, Norbert Michel from the Cato Institute and Columbia University lecturer Raúl Carrillo.

- Memecoins Dogecoin, Shiba Inu Jump as Ethereum Optimism Spreads
Dogecoin is up about 14% over the past five days, while Shiba Inu has gained almost 40%, according to pricing data compiled by Bloomberg. The meme tokens are holding their gains even as Bitcoin sits around $25,000 and Ether hovers at about $2,000 amid optimism around its upgrade, known as Merge, now expected around Sept. 15.
“Dogecoin and Shiba Inu have both broken out over the weekend, clear evidence that the retail investor is back,” said Hayden Hughes, chief executive of social-trading platform Alpha Impact in a message Monday, noting that there is optimism both coins will gain like Ethereum as they’re each due for upgrades as well.

- Hackers have stolen null.4 billion this year using crypto bridges. Here’s why it’s happening
Crypto investors have been hit hard this year by hacks and scams. One reason is that cybercriminals have found a particularly useful avenue to reach them: bridges.
Blockchain bridges, which tenuously connect networks to enable the fast swaps of tokens, are gaining popularity as a way for crypto users to transact. But in using them, crypto enthusiasts are bypassing a centralized exchange and using a system that’s largely unprotected.

- Bitcoin Mining Operations Continue to Expand Amid the Crypto Winter, While Converting 'Wasted Gas to Energy at Scale'
The bitcoin mining industry continues to expand as companies are obtaining more megawatts of capacity, building new facilities, and acquiring thousands of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) mining rigs. On Friday, the firm Validus Power revealed it has acquired two natural gas power stations in Ontario, Canada, that will become crypto mining facilities. On the same day, the firm Applied Blockchain got a $15 million loan to fund growth and “buildout of its data centers.” While the bitcoin mining industry’s growth has been exponential, at the same time, bitcoin mining operations are making a significant dent toward cleaning up the world’s CO2 emissions.

- **🌿 Rooting in Web3 — day 8 Introducing** [**@madfinance.lens**](https://twitter.com/madfiprotocol)
\
**What is Mad Finance?**\
@madfinance.lens is the ad protocol for web3 social! 💸 \
What does this really mean? 🤔 Let us walk you through it.\
\
First, we need to understand that, today, how Twitter and Facebook are free for all of us to use because the feed space is already being paid for by advertisers. But there is a little catch here, the biggest asset to these social media is actually the USERS! 🤯\
\
Why? Because imagine if no users use Facebook and Twitter, there will be no advertisers willing to place their ads on their platforms. But because they're operated in Web2, these social media control how the profits are generated and everything is going into their pocket. 😭\
\
Thus, similar to us, together with @madfinance.lens, we're committed to change this. Instead of giving all the profits generated from users to these big social media, we're connecting the profits back to users!\
\
In @madfinance.lens, they are building a suite of products in the form of Lens modules, tools for campaign creation + distribution, and payouts via Superfluid money streams. This is real innovation! 🤯\
\
If any of you are brands and creators, do join them today! \
Their first product will be carrying the idea of Lens Follow NFTs to the next level - allowing influencers and brands to utilize them as marketing campaigns! \
