  • Bybit Hack Sparks Debate: Is an Ethereum Hard Fork Feasible?
    Ronen explains that the Bybit breach was due to exchange security, not Ethereum's protocol. He notes, "A hard fork is unlikely," as it could undermine blockchain immutability. Instead, the focus should be on enhancing exchange security and regulation to prevent future incidents.
  • Memecoin Frenzy: Short-Term Liquidity Surge or Market Destabilizer?
    Ronen notes memecoins bring "short-term liquidity" but can destabilize markets as hype fades. Critics say they promote gambling, diverting funds from innovation. While attracting new traders, excessive speculation risks market corrections and crackdowns, potentially cutting the bull run short. Ronen advises caution and thorough research before investing in memecoins.
  • Federal Reserve Skepticism: No CBDC Launch Under Powell's Tenure
    Ronen highlights Jerome Powell's firm stance against introducing a CBDC during his term, citing "existing electronic payment efficiency and privacy concerns." Christopher Waller supports private sector-led payment innovations over government-led digital currencies, favoring stablecoins with regulatory oversight. This reflects the Fed's cautious approach, prioritizing private innovation and regulatory frameworks for digital payments.
