The mod team of Reddit's r/CryptoCurrency community posted in the early hours of this morning that the Reddit administrator had officially abandoned the MOON contract and destroyed the remaining 98,000 MOON tokens. The community has now guaranteed that there will be no further changes to the Moon contract in the future. This allows Moons to remain on existing exchange listings without the need to deploy new tokens, and the MOON token supply is now capped at approximately 83 million. The mod team will continue to work on restoring and improving features such as membership, governance, and tipping. The mod team is also exploring restarting distribution, but exactly how that works remains to be seen.

Binance’s new CEO Richard Teng said in an interview that Binance is also in a stage of development and is moving from an unruly technology startup to a traditional financial company. He acknowledged that Binance made some “mistakes” during its hyper-growth phase, but that it has learned from those mistakes. However, Teng noted that many of the charges listed in the settlement agreement with the United States did not include accusations that Binance misappropriated customer funds, and he also pointed out that the company has a long track record of ensuring the safety of assets on its platform. Teng also believes that he will be able to take over Changpeng Zhao's position. Teng said one of his main goals is to help the cryptocurrency industry push for the adoption of unified global rules, like those that the banking industry has long enjoyed. This will include resolving the debate over whether various types of digital assets should be classified as commodities or securities (or otherwise reflect the unique blockchain technology that underpins them). Teng added that the entire industry, as well as Binance, will benefit from his special expertise.

Hong Kong Legislative Council member Huang Junshuo believed that investors may not know before investing. Actively check the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission website to check the list of unlicensed companies and suspicious websites, and suggest that relevant departments simplify the steps for investors to check information to prevent a replica of the JPEX case from happening again. When asked whether to shorten the grace period, Huang Junshuo said that the virtual asset trading platform licensing system will take effect on June 1 this year, with a one-year grace period. The amendment will take 3 to 4 months at the earliest, and the grace period will be close to the end by then. , but it does not rule out increasing the pressure on the application time limit for compliant virtual asset trading platforms.
