According to Odaily, the CEO of BNY Mellon has emphasized that tokenization is emerging as a significant trend in the financial markets. The executive noted that any new developments in the realm of crypto assets must undergo practical testing to prove their viability. Tokenization, which involves converting assets into digital tokens on a blockchain, is gaining traction as it offers potential benefits such as increased liquidity, transparency, and efficiency in transactions. The CEO's remarks underscore the growing interest and investment in blockchain technology and digital assets by traditional financial institutions. As the financial industry continues to evolve, the integration of tokenization could reshape how assets are managed and traded. However, the CEO cautioned that while the potential is vast, it is crucial for these innovations to be rigorously tested in real-world scenarios to ensure their effectiveness and security. This approach aims to build trust and reliability in the adoption of new technologies within the financial sector.

Nature, one of the world’s most cited scientific journals, introduced the DeSci Protocol ResearchHub in a Dec. 11 article, which pays peer reviewers the equivalent of $150 in cryptocurrency for independent reviews of new research papers. Nature noted in its article that this is also a money-making opportunity for some, noting that Pedro Paulo Gattai Gomes, a molecular biology consultant in São Paulo, said he now earns more reviewing papers for ResearchHub than he did as a professor at an academic institution. Gomes said he reviews an average of 15 papers a month and earns $150 worth of ResearchHub ResearchCoin tokens (RSC) for each paper he reviews. He told the magazine: "It is fair to be paid to review, because it seems to me that it is very unfair to work voluntarily without a word of thanks." DeSci Protocol ResearchHub was launched in 2020 and is supported by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, who spoke at the ResearchHub Journal launch event in San Francisco, California last month: "It is a strange anomaly in history that peer reviewers are not paid. What they do is a valuable thing, and we should recognize and reward them." CoinGecko data shows that RSC is currently at $0.9955, with a 24H increase of 20.1%. (Cointelegraph)

Trump has nominated Paul Atkins, chairman of the U.S. SEC, and David Sacks, the AI ​​and crypto czar. The last major nomination that could have a major impact on the cryptocurrency industry is Trump's appointment of the chairman of the CFTC. Former CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz has become the top contender. Coinbase COO Emilie Choi and CEO Brian Armstrong both believe Quintenz is an excellent candidate. It is unclear whether Trump will make a choice in the coming weeks or months. Cody Carbone, president of the Chamber of Digital Commerce, explained on a podcast last week that he believes the Trump transition team has not even made a choice yet, noting that Chris Giancarlo, chairman of the CFTC during Trump's first term, was not nominated until March. Former CFTC Commissioner Brian Quintenz, who currently serves as the policy director of a16z crypto, is becoming the first choice. Although many in Washington, D.C., thought he was not interested in the position a few weeks ago, some reliable sources seem to think he is back in the running. First, he has reportedly been advising the Trump transition team on crypto policy for at least the past few weeks. Secondly, his boss Marc Andreessen and crypto and AI czar David Sacks both belong to the conservative, venture capitalist Silicon Valley circle, and it is safe to assume that what Andreessen considers smart and capable, Sacks will also consider so. However, there is one factor that may work against him: he currently serves on the board of directors of prediction market platform Kalshi, which is at odds with rival prediction market Polymarket. In addition, other popular candidates include CFTC Commissioners Summer Mersinger and Caroline Pham, Digital Chamber founder and CEO Perianne Boring, former CFTC Commissioner Jill Sommers, former Director of the Market Participants Division Josh Sterling, and former General Counsel Office Attorney Neal Kumar.
