剑桥报告：数字资产可以协助价值分配:金色财经报道，剑桥商学院旗下替代金融中心(CCAF) 发布了一项考虑基于人道主义现金转移的数字资产的报告认为，数字资产可以协助价值分配。CCAF 指出，只要有适当的监督、管理和监管条件，效益就会以各种方式出现。通过利用数字资产，收款人可以受益于更好的隐私，与传统转账相比成本更低，同时减轻当地货币的挑战。由于许多援助受益人的银行账户不足，或根本没有银行账户，数字资产可以促进这些传统服务不足的人群实现目标。

CCAF 的联合创始人兼执行董事Bryan Zhang表示，该项技术可以在提高人道主义援助的效率和安全性方面发挥关键作用。这项研究探讨了在人道主义背景下将数字资产用于基于现金的转移计划的潜力。[2023/6/1 11:52:07]

美参议员要求司法部调查FTX事件:金色财经报道，美国民主党参议员Elizabeth Warren和 Sheldon Whitehouse周三致函司法部，敦促司法部长Merrick Garland调查FTX倒闭事件中的欺诈和非法行为，并要求对该公司前CEO Sam Bankman-Fried和其他高管“在法律的最大范围内”追究责任。

参议员写道，FTX 的垮台不仅是草率的业务和管理实践的结果，而且似乎是由 Bankman-Fried 和其他 FTX 高管为谋取私利而采用的故意和欺诈策略造成的。除了对更广泛的加密货币行业产生连锁反应外，Warren 和Whitehouse在信中表达了对 FTX 内爆对散户投资者影响的担忧，他们表示， FTX 巨额广告植入和名人代言给散户投资者带来了“错误的安全感和合法性错觉”。[2022/11/24 8:02:07]
