BlockBeats News, March 13th, Ethereum official stated that privacy in the Ethereum ecosystem is undergoing a transformation, which can even be described as a renaissance. Ethereum, rooted in cypherpunk, is part of decades-long struggles for digital rights through open-source technology, with the foundation of the struggle being the protection of privacy, meaning that user online activities should not be repackaged and used for commercial purposes. Cypherpunk means dedication to resistance against censorship, open source, privacy, and security (referred to as CROPS). The new cypherpunk is a contemporary collaborative concept that upholds cultural values such as permissionlessness, privacy, decentralization, anti-censorship, trustlessness, and open source. It is guided by positive-sum games but rooted in a realpolitik understanding of self-defense. Today's Ethereum is the new cypherpunk, providing a modern interpretation of tradition. This is cypherpunk with an Ethereum twist! The new cypherpunk is part of Eric Hughes' legacy, who is a paragon of the cypherpunk world's deepest understanding of how to achieve privacy. In late 2023, Vitalik called on the community to "revitalize Ethereum cypherpunk," and now is perhaps the best time to become a privacy advocate in the Ethereum ecosystem.

PANews March 13th news, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. SEC Investor Advisory Committee has voted to approve recommendations supporting the advancement of tokenized securities regulatory policies, allowing stock trading to bypass the intermediary settlement model that Wall Street investment firms have relied on for decades. The committee recommends providing limited exemptions for blockchain stock trading, but only if mandatory disclosures, regular external oversight, and ensuring all investors receive the best terms in order execution are met. The SEC chairman stated that these crypto assets still legally meet the definition of securities, and therefore require the same safeguards as the traditional system. The committee pointed out that the biggest risk of tokenized securities is that new reforms or exemptions may introduce risks unfamiliar to investors and bring higher costs that exceed the benefits of tokenization. Atkins said it is expected that the SEC will soon consider an innovative exemption to facilitate limited trading of certain tokenized securities and focus on developing a long-term regulatory framework.
