ETH breaks through the $2550 mark

According to Decrypt, Australian cryptocurrency exchange Cointree has been fined AUD 75120 by financial regulator AUSTRAC for delayed submission of suspicious transaction reports. The exchange voluntarily disclosed compliance vulnerabilities and is currently upgrading its internal monitoring system. According to Australian anti money laundering regulations, suspicious fund flows must be reported within 3 working days, and suspected terrorist financing must be reported within 24 hours. AUSTRAC Director Brendan Thomas pointed out that timely reporting is crucial for tracking the flow of criminal funds. This is the latest action taken by the agency to strengthen regulation of the cryptocurrency industry since 2024. Previously, penalties have been imposed on 13 violators and warnings have been issued to over 50 institutions.

According to BlockBeats, on May 16th, according to analysis by crypto KOL niftywap.eth, the Believe platform is accumulating token supply for its ecosystem token through a fee mechanism. Taking the meme token Theranos as an example, in the past 24 hours, the Believe platform has accumulated 2.3% of the token supply (currently locked in) and has climbed to the third position among holders, second only to Theranoscexwallet.sol. Niftywap.eth further stated that if these fees for tokens can be distributed to the team, the funding problem on the platform will be alleviated. The team needs several percentage points of funding to survive and list on CEX. Whale users are unwilling to donate, and they should not do so either. As long as the team uses these expenses for marketing and listing projects, this is the new gold standard.

Market sentiment remains positive, but signs of exhaustion appear as BTC nears key technical and psychological levels.

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to official announcements, BitMart will launch NKN (NKN) on May 16th at 12:00 (GMT+8 time), which will open NKN/USDT trading pairs. Nkn (New Network) is a new type of network infrastructure and ecosystem driven by blockchain technology, which is open, decentralized, and community shared. Nkn encourages users to share excess network bandwidth, assists device service providers in effectively configuring network resources, and encourages individuals and businesses to deploy more nodes to join the network, providing data transmission services for other nodes and thus obtaining economic returns.

Following the computing power of Ethereum blockchain and the storage capacity of Filecoin/IPFS blockchain, Nkn has become a public chain infrastructure that blockchains another core element of information technology - network transmission resources. Its technological innovation lies in dynamic routing, network relay proof, highly scalable consensus mechanism, and resource sharing incentives. The Nkn token is the original token in the Nkn ecosystem economy, used to encourage network resource sharing and effectively utilize excess network bandwidth.
