StarkWare CEO proposes a 4% annual inflation rate for Bitcoin instead of the 21 million coin cap.
PANews reported on July 8th that, according to Cointelegraph, StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson posted on the X platform proposing to replace the current hard cap of 21 million Bitcoins with a 4% annual issuance rate. He believes the current hard cap is "unreasonable" because private keys will be lost over time, "and when time approaches infinity, all private keys will be lost." Ledger estimates that approximately 4 million Bitcoins have already been permanently lost. Ben-Sasson stated that a 4% annual issuance rate roughly matches the global population growth rate. This proposal has sparked strong opposition from the community. Opponents argue that the fixed cap is the core value of Bitcoin, and that Bitcoin can be divided into 2.1 quadrillion satoshis, which is sufficient to address the issue of declining available supply.
KAST's terms of service have sparked controversy, with the CEO questioning user asset ownership.
PANews reported on July 7th that Mike Silagadze, founder and CEO of ether.fi, published an article questioning the terms of service of KAST, a stablecoin payment and crypto card platform. The terms explicitly state that when users transfer cryptocurrency or stablecoins to KAST, it is considered a sale of the relevant virtual assets to KAST, and users no longer retain ownership of the assets; the records displayed in the app are only denominated in USD and do not constitute account balances, deposits, or stored value. Furthermore, KAST emphasizes that it is not a bank, and user funds are not protected by deposit insurance. Since both KAST and ether.fi Cash offer stablecoin payment and crypto card services, they are direct competitors.
Strategy CEO: Bitcoin is like a "currency version of the United States," reshaping the financial order through rules and scarcity.
PANews reported on July 4th that Strategy CEO Phong Le published an article on the X platform stating that Bitcoin is essentially an "embodiment of freedom," comparing it to "the United States in the monetary world." He recalled his experience in Vietnam, noting that while Vietnam has undergone significant changes in economic development and social vitality, "the United States remains a desirable destination for many globally," symbolizing opportunity, upward mobility, and institutional freedom. Phong Le pointed out that the United States' long-term success stems from its constitutional system, capitalist mechanisms, and innovative culture, enabling ordinary people to achieve upward social mobility through education, entrepreneurship, and risk-taking. His family's experience as Vietnamese refugees immigrating to the United States exemplifies this system.
Tether CEO warns AI giants' computing power subsidy model: Multiple cycles of mismatch continue to accumulate industry risks.
On July 4th, PANews reported that Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino published an article on the X platform, questioning the current expansion model of AI giants subsidizing computing power in exchange for user scale. He stated that leading global AI technology companies are continuously increasing their investment in computing infrastructure to seize market share, resulting in huge capital expenditures. However, the economic depreciation cycle of computing assets such as GPUs and servers is only 3 to 5 years, and the hardware depreciates extremely quickly. This creates structural mismatch risks: token prices are decoupled from the real value of assets, the profit realization cycle lags behind the capital investment cycle, and the cost of capital does not match the debt repayment period. At the same time, open-source AI models continue to divert market demand and compress commercial revenue space.
Robinhood CEO: The future of cryptocurrency lies in real-world assets, not Memecoin.
PANews reported on July 3rd that, according to The Block, Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev stated in an interview with CNBC that the key to growth in the crypto industry lies in the on-chaining of real-world assets, not meme tokens. Tenev stated, "If an asset isn't linked to underlying utility, it's not a productive asset," and believes that traditional finance and crypto are converging. He added, "Everything that runs on traditional tracks will eventually be on-chain and tokenized, like an unstoppable freight train." Robinhood launched its Stock Tokens service on Wednesday, allowing qualified users to trade tokenized stocks 24/7, and plans to offer exposure to private companies like OpenAI. Tenev stated that Bitcoin won't become irrelevant, but the next phase of growth in the industry will come from the tokenization of real-world assets.
Tether CEO: EU MiCA regulations are "very dangerous" for stablecoins; abandoning the application was to protect users.
PANews reported on July 2nd that, according to Coin Bureau, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino explained why USDT did not apply for an EU MiCA license, stating that the regulation is "very dangerous for stablecoins." He indicated that MiCA could force issuers to hold 60% of their reserves in uninsured cash deposits at small European banks, which might be unable to handle large-scale redemptions. Ardoino believes the legislation is "poorly considered" and stated that "skipping MiCA is to protect Tether's more than 400 million users."
