Donald Trump Vows to Block Central Bank Digital Currency if Elected President

Former US President Donald Trump, a potential Republican candidate for the upcoming elections, has stated that he will never allow the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) if elected. CBDCs are digital forms of currency issued and regulated by central banks, and have become a significant point of discussion in US politics. Despite previously disapproving of cryptocurrencies, documents released in 2023 revealed that Trump holds over $2.8 million in cryptocurrency, most likely in Ethereum. Trump also introduced a non-fungible token (NFT) project called Trump Digital Collectible Cards last year.

Uniswap founder: Founders and VCs need to stop valuing startups and pre-coin crypto projects at more than $1 billion

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams posted on social media that cryptocurrency founders and venture capitalists need to stop valuing projects at over $1 billion in the early stages of development and before tokens have been released, until they are truly worth that valuation. Building something worth 7-9 figures is an incredible achievement, and not every project needs to be a unicorn at launch. Additionally, Hayden Adams said, perhaps it's naive, but I think raising funds as a founder at a fair valuation (real talent wants upside) and investing at a fair valuation as a VC (LPs want upside) can make more money. It's just harder to do it that way.
