Yuga Labs co-founder Wylie Aronow, real name Gordon Goner, has spent over $1.5 million buying NFTs on iconic collectibles such as CryptoPunks and Doodles. After announcing on Monday that he intended to purchase NFTs outside of the Bored Ape Yacht Club series created by Yuga Labs, Aronow went on the craziest shopping spree since the last bull market. According to data from The Block Research, Aronow spent over $1.5 million in total, starting with the purchase of a rare CryptoPunk for 600 ETH ($1.14 million) on Monday. Aronow purchased over a dozen new tokens, mostly well-known collectibles outside of the Yuga Labs universe, including NFTs from Doodles, Meebits, Pudgy Penguins, and the famous digital artist Beeple's work.

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. -

Chairman of the U.S. SEC: The crypto market is a hotbed of fraud, and investors are not getting the necessary information disclosure on related assets
According to CNBC, Gary Gensler, the chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), stated in an interview that the SEC oversees $110 trillion in capital markets, with approximately half in the stock market and half in the bond and other markets. Cryptocurrency is only a small part of the entire market. However, it is a huge part of fraud, deception, and problems in the market, as most of the content in this field does not comply with securities law protection.The SEC cannot talk to any company, but in the field of crypto assets, without prejudging any of them, according to the US Supreme Court's interpretation, many tokens are securities under local law, so we comply with this law, and investors do not receive the necessary information disclosure about these assets. -
