Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum, has expressed worry about the possibility that decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) could monopolize the choice of node operators in liquidity staking pools. Buterin cautions that using the DAO approach for governance over node operators, who are in charge of the pool’s cash, could put them in danger from bad actors in a blog post on September 30. Buterin emphasizes that depending on just one layer of security may not be sufficient and uses the staking protocol Lido (LDO) as an example of a DAO that whitelists node operators. He admits that precautions against this…

The SEC-like organisation has made a distinction between cryptocurrencies and fan tokens, describing the latter’s purpose beyond simple speculation. The remarks, issued by Antonio Carlos Berwanger, the CVM’s Market Development Superintendent, provide further clarity to a region known for its passion for football.

Financial authorities, such as the Securities and Exchange…
