Privacy Pools launch on Ethereum, with Vitalik demoing the feature
A new privacy-focused protocol, Privacy Pools, has gone live on Ethereum. It offers users semi-private transactions while allowing them to prove their funds aren’t tied to illicit activity. Developed by 0xbow.io, the platform uses "Association Sets" to batch transactions and screen out hackers or scammers, with an option to "ragequit" if a deposit is flagged.
Vitalik Buterin publicly supported the project, making one of the first deposits (1 ETH), while 0xbow.io emphasized its goal to "Make Privacy Normal Again" without triggering regulatory crackdowns. The launch follows the recent lifting of Tornado Cash sanctions, signaling a shift in how privacy tools balance anonymity and compliance.
SOL/BTC Ratio Suffers in the Wake of $200 Million in Token Unlocks
The SOL/BTC ratio has hit its lowest level since December 2023, falling 44% since January due to major token unlocks and a decline in Solana’s memecoin activity. Despite a brief 6.2% price rebound, SOL remains under pressure as Bitcoin dominance reaches 63%. The collapse of Solana’s memecoin market, driven by scams like MELANIA and LIBRA, has led to a sharp drop in daily active addresses and token launches. Ethereum’s ETH/BTC ratio is also struggling, continuing a three-year downtrend. While Solana’s activity is still higher than in 2024, traders see the current memecoin market as unstable.
TRUMP Memecoin Plummets as Tariffs Roil Markets
The TRUMP memecoin has plunged another 13% to a $9 billion valuation following President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariff policy, which rattled global markets. The token has declined since peaking at a $75 billion FDV in January, with a major drop triggered by the MELANIA memecoin launch.
Further selling pressure is expected as 4% of TRUMP’s supply, worth $360 million, unlocks on April 18. The token remains controversial, facing scrutiny from both crypto investors and U.S. lawmakers. Congress is considering legislation to prevent Trump from profiting from its sales.
WAGMI!
