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.

According to Decrypt, Microsoft shareholders have overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to invest in Bitcoin, despite the cryptocurrency being described as an effective hedge against inflation. The proposal received support from only 0.55% of shareholders, with 28.234 million votes in favor and a staggering 5.148 billion against. Additionally, there were 22.6 million abstentions. The board of directors had advised against the proposal, citing Bitcoin's volatility as a primary concern. During the shareholder meeting, Microsoft emphasized that Bitcoin is currently more volatile than corporate bonds, suggesting that holding significant amounts could jeopardize shareholder value. However, the company also acknowledged Bitcoin's potential as a hedge against inflation, noting that companies should not completely disregard it. Microsoft suggested that firms consider holding at least 1% of their assets in Bitcoin. The vote comes amid a trend of companies incorporating Bitcoin into their balance sheets as part of their corporate strategies. For instance, Semler Scientific, a healthcare technology company, recently invested $30 million in Bitcoin. Additionally, the National Center for Public Policy has recommended that Amazon convert at least 5% of its assets into Bitcoin, with a decision expected next spring. Microsoft highlighted Microstrategy as a significant private Bitcoin holder, having recently acquired an additional $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, bringing its total holdings to 423,650 BTC, valued at approximately $42 billion. Despite Microstrategy's smaller scale compared to Microsoft, its stock has outperformed Microsoft's by 313% this year. The growing institutional and corporate adoption of Bitcoin is evident, with Microsoft's second-largest shareholder, BlackRock, offering a Bitcoin ETF to its clients. Despite the rejection of the Bitcoin investment proposal, Microsoft stated that it continues to evaluate a diverse range of assets for potential investment. The company's Global Treasury and Investment Services team will keep monitoring trends related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to guide future decisions. Microsoft acknowledged that volatility is a crucial factor when considering cryptocurrency investments for corporate treasury applications, which require stable and predictable investments to ensure liquidity and operational funding.

According to Odaily, recent monitoring by Arkham has revealed that BlackRock and Fidelity have collectively purchased Ethereum (ETH) worth over $500 million in the past 48 hours. This significant acquisition highlights the growing interest and investment in cryptocurrency by major financial institutions. The move by these two financial giants underscores the increasing acceptance and integration of digital assets into traditional financial portfolios. As Ethereum continues to be a leading cryptocurrency, its appeal to institutional investors is evident, reflecting broader trends in the financial markets. This substantial purchase may influence market dynamics and investor sentiment, potentially impacting Ethereum's valuation and market position. The acquisition by BlackRock and Fidelity is part of a larger trend where traditional financial entities are increasingly engaging with cryptocurrencies. This trend is driven by the potential for high returns and the diversification benefits that digital assets offer. As the cryptocurrency market evolves, the involvement of established financial institutions is likely to play a crucial role in shaping its future trajectory.
