Gate News reports that on March 12, FTX founder SBF posted on his X account that during Gary Gensler’s tenure as SEC Chairman, he not only declared war on the crypto industry but also secretly worked with Senator Elizabeth Warren in Washington to weaken the CFTC’s authority, consolidating more regulatory power into the SEC. They also attempted to restrict crypto compliance by demanding “licenses that do not actually exist.” SBF pointed out that the SEC’s new chairman, Paul Atkins, appointed by Trump, prefers to require only licenses that are actually in existence, avoiding the power struggle of the crypto industry being caught between federal regulatory agencies.

JPMorgan: DeFi hackers are increasingly common, and interest in compression mechanisms to address TVL stagnation is drawing capital into USDT
JPMorgan Chase’s report believes that DeFi continues to face ongoing vulnerabilities, cross-chain bridge and oracle attacks are frequent, causing TVL to stagnate and weakening institutional investors’ willingness to invest, with capital shifting to USDT that is traceable and can be frozen. The KelpDAO and Rhea Finance attacks reveal risk-management risks; centralized stablecoins and custodial solutions are more favored. In the long run, improving this will require going beyond insurance and governance. DeFi will not be able to return to the 2021 era of high TVL, and stablecoins will become even more concentrated.
