  3. Here’s the March Cardano 360! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6qNwOE9Bvo
  4. Here’s the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin advising that crypto companies should record a liability on their balance sheets if they are safeguarding crypto assets for clients and Hester Peirce’s response. https://www.sec.gov/oca/staff-accounting-bulletin-121 https://www.sec.gov/news/statement/peirce-response-sab-121-033122
  5. It looks like Grayscale really wants to sue the SEC if there is no approval of their Bitcoin ETF by summer. https://twitter.com/Grayscale/status/1509642795144949761

Previously Covered but still interesting:

  1. There’s a new Network Energy Usage dashboard in Cardano Blockchain Insights. It shows CArdano is 47,000 more energy efficient than Bitcoin. Very crazy since we’re also more decentralized. https://datastudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/3136c55b-635e-4f46-8e4b-b8ab54f2d460/page/p_lz1r0b9arc

  9. IOG has opened a consultative discussion with stakepool operators around whether the minimum fixed fee of 340 ADA should be reduced to 30 ADA. Predictably, SPOs expressed a variety of positions on this. https://twitter.com/timbharrison/status/1499467957612814344

  28. The EU’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) draft legislative framework which may limit proof-of-work crypto assets is up for a vote today (March 14). There is a report that crypto assets "shall be subject to minimum environmental sustainability standards with respect to their consensus mechanism used for validating transactions, before being issued, offered or admitted to trading in the Union." Obviously this would be a massive problem for proof-of-work chains. This is a new attempt to include such language after a previous provision had been removed. https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/03/12/limiting-proof-of-work-crypto-back-on-the-table-as-eu-parliament-prepares-virtual-currencies-vote/ https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/03/26115263/bitcoin-may-effectively-be-banned-in-europe-as-eu-set-to-finalize-regulatory-framework-for
  29. Here’s some analysis of the EU MiCA draft language guessing that there’s a good chance it will pass today (March 14) but that it might be removed during “Trilogues” which will be the subsequent informal tripartite meetings on legislative proposals between representatives of the European Parliament, the Council of the EU, and the European Commission. https://twitter.com/paddi_hansen/status/1502546546914729984 https://www.europarl.europa.eu/olp/en/interinstitutional-negotiations
  30. It looks like we have crossed the quarter billion dollar mark in terms of total value locked in Cardano DeFi. https://defillama.com/chain/Cardano
  31. The EU MiCA legislative framework went forward in the Monetary and Economic Affairs Committee without the provisions that would phase out proof-of-work. https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/03/14/proposal-limiting-proof-of-work-is-rejected-in-eu-parliament-committee-vote-sources/
  32. Colorado will start accepting crypto for tax payments. https://dailyhodl.com/2022/03/09/colorado-governor-polis-sees-only-upside-in-being-first-to-accept-crypto-for-tax-payments/

  35. Cardano Village is considering shooting for a full Avatar/Chat style metaverse vision: “Let's tell some great stories. Let's open the gates of hell. We are considering making a web mode metaverse by June. Like Decentraland. An avatar will appear, chat and enter the house. Why did I make such a hellish choice? I will show everyone how good our team is. I will show everyone who is the best team.” –A-DAK-GALBI https://discord.com/channels/909109787130748928/922034270850150430

  42. The Fed raised the Federal Funds Rate by 25 basis points. While this may seem very small to combat the rampant inflation, this may be the beginning of something that could be very impactful to Cardano if the fed raises rates at every meeting for the rest of the year. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/03/16/business/fed-meeting-interest-rates https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/federalfundsrate.asp

  47. Sen. Warren is once again up to her old tricks. She has introduced a bill with overly broad language that might end up targeting anyone (even someone who releases open source software) who might have done anything that enabled a transaction by an address that is related to a sanctioned individual. https://www.coincenter.org/new-crypto-sanctions-bill-targets-publishing-code-facilitating-transactions/
  48. We now have a link for the Cardano Fraud Detection Bureau if you see something suspicious. https://twitter.com/InputOutputHK/status/1504475158098026509

  54. The relative capacities of Cardano and Ethereum to handle the ever-increasing complexity demanded of Gen 3 blockchains appear to be diverging with an Ethereum Core Developer dropping a long thread concluding that “If the protocol [Ethereum] doesn't get slimmer, it's not going to make it.” Meanwhile, Haskell developers are happy to explain how the compositionality of Cardano’s chosen programming language is perfect to accommodate complexity. https://twitter.com/peter_szilagyi/status/1504887154761244673 https://twitter.com/gotMeAHaskell/status/1505313180427427841

Hmmm, probably a smart call, Grayscale. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2022/03/22/2407606/0/en/Grayscale-Investments-Launches-Smart-Contract-Platform-Fund.html https://twitter.com/Grayscale/status/1506288504803934226

  63. MinSwap appears to have remedied their issues with a new smart contract after a period of being down for 50 hours due to a critical vulnerability.

  64. Looks like there was another giant exploit on a network that is a competitor to Cardano. This time it was Solana and reports are of $50MM lost. https://twitter.com/samczsun/status/1506578902331768832
  65. Cornucopias is now dropping posts about lands. This must mean we are inching closer to that date. https://twitter.com/RobGreig3/status/1507065754029600768
  66. Cardano Assets now has frequently updated performance updates on Cardano Tokens. https://twitter.com/cardanoassets/status/1506923728646590469

There is an interesting discussion at 39:45 regarding the energy benefits of proof-of-stake and a reference to how benefits could be created to incentivize a move to PoS. https://twitter.com/POLITICOLive/status/1507101733796913167
