Google engineer concerned about open-source AI gaining edge 🔼

♾ According to a critique written by a senior software engineer at Google, the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) development is threatened by the open-source community. The engineer contends that independent researchers in open-source technology are making swift and unforeseen strides in AI technology.

✔️ In early April, software engineer Luke Sernau published a document on an internal system. The document was subsequently shared extensively among Google employees over the next few weeks. A source, who requested anonymity as they were not permitted to discuss internal company affairs, claimed that the document had been circulated thousands of times. On Thursday, the document was published by consulting firm SemiAnalysis and began to circulate in Silicon Valley.

​US lawmakers hold EU and UK as examples of crypto regulation in joint hearing🤩

With the European Union coming closer to passing the Markets in Crypto Assets framework and Kraken in the process of investing in the United Kingdom, lawmakers are taking notice.

👉Some members of the United States House of Representatives’ Financial Services and Agriculture Committees pointed to crypto asset frameworks being employed outside the country when discussing regulatory gaps at home.

🏦In a May 10 joint hearing on the future of digital asset regulation, some lawmakers pointed to the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets framework and digital asset regulation in the United Kingdom in contrast with the patchwork of requirements in the United States. Responding to questions raised by Oklahoma 😅 Representative Frank Lucas, Kraken chief legal officer Marco Santori said the U.S.-based crypto exchange had made plans to invest in the EU and was in the process of investing in the U.K., finding the U.S. regulatory environment difficult to assess.

💸“Other jurisdictions are indeed pushing ahead — they have been pushing ahead,” said Santori. “These are G20 jurisdictions with sophisticated financial services markets, sophisticated technology industries. The U.S. is significantly behind in that respect.”

🏦House Financial Services Committee ranking member Maxine Waters said there had been some efforts to establish an “entirely new market structure” for crypto in the United States amid the lack of clarity among regulators including the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Wisconsin Representative Bryan Steil added the U.S. Congress was ready to provide crypto regulation, but suggested there was “a much more forward thinking approach” in Switzerland and Europe.👇

“Switzerland provided very early on for a very clear regulatory framework,” said Web3 Foundation chief legal officer Daniel Schoenberger in response to questioning from Steil. “This framework that they provided certainly provided the legal certainty to be headquartered there and to have legal clarity around the classification instantly.”🌿

​Safaricom M-Pesa receives Ethiopian mobile money license, ending state monopoly👇

The Kenya-based company already has 3 million mobile phone users in Ethiopia and plans to make it the 10th country where the payment service will be available.🌸

The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) has issued a mobile money-service license to Safaricom M-Pesa Mobile Financial Service, it announced May 11. Previously, only Telebirr, part of the state-owned Ethio Telecom network, operated in that market.

🥳Kenya-based Safaricom was also the first company to break Ethio Telecom’s monopoly on Ethiopian mobile phone service in October, through its Safaricom Telecommunications Ethiopia subsidiary. The NBE introduced legislation into the Parliamentary Assembly earlier in 2022 to make the private service possible.

Safaricom Ethiopia currently has almost 3 million users, the company said. That compares to Ethio Telecom’s 54 million users, in a country of 118 million. The government is now reportedly looking to sell a 45% share in Ethio Telecom.

🥶Safaricom reportedly paid $150 million for its license and expects to launch M-Pesa service in the second half of the year. M-Pesa is already available in nine African countries and Afghanistan. It offers financial services to people through their mobile phone, regardless of whether or not they have bank accounts.

Although the legal status of crypto assets in Ethiopia is murky, the country is slowly opening up to greater digitalization in finance. The NBE wrote in its announcement:👇

“The NBE will continue to take measures to deepen Ethiopia's digital finance ecosystem. To this end, we will strongly support the spread of digital payment systems as a substitute for cash-based transactions within the economy.”

💸Blockchain-based payments platform Fuse has announced plans to bring ChromePay’s decentralized identity service to the country. The local Project Mano organization lobbies for Bitcoin adoption, and the Cardano blockchain has invested heavily in infrastructure for use by government services in the country.

​🥶Libra-related Sui blockchain fixes critical bug that put ‘billions’ at risk

👉The vulnerability was located in a file that translates human-readable code into machine language for storage.

The Sui blockchain network quietly fixed a bug that could have put “billions of dollars” at risk, according to a May 16 announcement from Zellic, the security firm hired to audit the network’s security.

🧐The bug was in a dependency of the bytecode verifier, which ensures that the human-readable Move language used to write smart contracts on Sui is correctly transcribed into machine code during deployment. Had the bug not been fixed, it could have “allowed attackers to bypass multiple security properties, leading to potentially significant financial damages,” the announcement said.

In a statement to Cointelegraph, Mysten Labs confirmed that the the bug has been fixed in the SUI version of MOVE.

😩Zellic claimed that the bug may have also been present in other Move-based networks, including Aptos and Starcoin. However, they stated that the Aptos version of it was eliminated with a patch on April 10, according to the Zellic team.

🌿In a conversation with Cointelegraph, a representative from the Move-based 0L network stated that the bug does not affect its version of Move. On May 15, 0L added a series of tests to their GitHub, which it says proves the exploit is not possible on the 0L version. The Starcoin team told Cointelegraph that their version was eliminated on April 5.

Texas proof-of-reserve bill passes through the Senate 📌

✍️ Legislation that could require exchanges to maintain reserves “in an amount sufficient to fulfill all obligations to customers” has made it one step closer to becoming law in Texas. On May 15, the bill passed a vote in the state Senate and now awaits only the governor’s signature.

➡️ Texas House Bill 1666, amending the Texan finance code, passed through the state’s House of Representatives earlier this year. After three readings in the Senate, the text of the bill hasn’t experienced any significant changes from the previous draft.

➡️ Under the amendments, digital asset providers serving more than 500 customers in the state, with at least $10 million of customer funds, would be restricted from comingling the customer funds with any other type of operational capital, and using customer funds for any further transactions besides the original transaction demanded by the customer.

Terraform Labs’ Do Kwon’s Bail Revoked in Montenegro Court 🆒

🌐 A court spokesperson said a high court in Montenegro’s capital overturned the earlier decision and Kwon remains in jail.

🔔 This also applies to Terraform Labs’ former Chief Financial Officer Han Chong-joon.
The case was sent to the High Court in Podgorica, the country’s capital, earlier this week, after prosecutors appealed against the bail terms to release Kwon and Han for $436,000 each.

📊 Kwon had been on the run for months after the demise of Terra, which was behind the algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD that fell into a tailspin last year.

‼️ Kwon and Chong-joon were accused of forgery by Montenegro prosecutors last month for allegedly using false passports from Belgium and Costa Rica.

Arbitrum-based Jimbos Protocol hacked, losing $7.5M in Ether 💲

⚛️ Adding to the growing number of decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol hacks in the crypto industry, Jimbos Protocol is the latest to suffer an attack resulting in a significant loss of funds.

🗄 According to blockchain security firm PeckShield, Jimbos Protocol — the liquidity protocol of the Arbitrum system — was hacked on the morning of May 28. The attack resulted in the loss of 4,000 Ether worth approximately $7.5 million at the time.

🔵 Specifically, the attacker took advantage of the lack of slippage control on liquidity conversions. The protocol’s liquidity is invested in a price range that doesn’t need to be equal, creating a loophole where attackers can reverse swap orders for their own gain.

💬 Although launched less than 20 days ago, Jimbos Protocol aimed to address liquidity and volatile token prices through a new testing approach. However, the protocol’s mechanism was not adequately developed, leading to a logical vulnerability creating favorable conditions for attackers. As a consequence, the price of the underlying token, Jimbo (JIMBO), has plummeted by 40%.

US Regulator Issues Warning for Firms Providing Clearings Services for Crypto 🦢

🔴 A US regulator warned firms on Tuesday of the risks that come with the clearing of digital assets.
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission
issued an advisory titled, “Review of Risks Associated with Expansion of DCO Clearing of Digital Assets.”

❗️ Derivatives clearing organizations, or DCOs, are registered with the CFTC and provide clearing services for products such as futures contracts, options or swaps.

💡 The regulator said it had “observed increased interest by DCOs and DCO applicants in expanding the types of products cleared and business lines, clearing models, and services offered by DCOs, including related to digital assets.”

👁‍🗨 The agency specifically notes risks, including cyber, that can be associated with digital assets.

💫 For DCOs that involve the “physical delivery of digital assets,” the regulator said its staff “will emphasize reviews of physical settlement arrangements, including whether DCOs have adequately identified and managed risks and obligations associated with digital assets and whether DCO rules clearly state the obligations of the DCO, if any, with respect to physical deliveries involving digital assets.”

😼Uniswap scam alert: Fraudsters impersonate executives and create fake website

Uniswap
and its foundation have no association with the scam as efforts are being made to combat it.

🤩Hayden Adams, the creator of the Uniswap protocol and CEO of Uniswap Labs, recently expressed his surprise on Twitter regarding a scam where individuals created a fake Uniswap website.

😌In a tweet, Adams indicated his astonishment at the elaborate nature of the scam, emphasizing that it required a significant amount of effort. He further disclosed that the scammers had incorporated Chinese community content into their scheme and even included links directing users to the legitimate Uniswap app on their deceptive website.

🔴To add an extra layer of credibility to their scheme, the scammers went to great lengths by organizing an hour-long Zoom recording showcasing individuals pretending to be high-ranking executives from Uniswap. This orchestrated video presentation aimed to deceive viewers into believing the authenticity of the scam. Upon viewing the video, Adams expressed his bewilderment, stating, “Video is nuts. No idea who any of those people are.“

⚠️To dispel any misconceptions, Adams made it clear that neither Uniswap nor the Uniswap Foundation had any form of association or involvement with the video in question, or the individuals who appeared in it.

Gen Z Investors Favor Crypto, But Experts Warn of Potential Risks 💲

⚠️ Crypto is the top choice for Gen Z investors, driven by their exposure to technology, social media, and easy investment access, according to a joint report by American finance industry organizations the CFA Institute and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

🔴 But despite the appetite for crypto among younger investors, experts warn that relying solely on crypto in an investment portfolio is risky due to its volatility.

✅ “Whereas mutual funds and most exchange-traded funds (ETFs) typically offer a degree of diversification, the same is not true when purchasing cryptocurrency and individual stocks,” Gerri Walsh, President of FINRA’s Investor Education Foundation, warned in a CNBC article.

➡️ He added, however, that crypto investments are typically only a cause of concern if the investor isn’t adequately considering and managing the risk that comes with the investment.

🔴 According to the report, 55% of Gen Z investors currently invest in crypto.
