Visa has begun allowing U.S. banks and payment partners to settle transactions within the United States using the dollar-backed stablecoin USDC.

According to an article published on Odaily's Planet Daily, Simon Dedic, founder of Moonrock Capital, stated that as crypto infrastructure becomes cheaper, standardized, and interchangeable, the center of value is shifting upwards—applications that massively aggregate users will become the repository of value. The rise of "crypto super apps" clearly demonstrates this. The winners of the future will not be the teams best at building the underlying infrastructure, but rather the platforms that can control user identity, user flow, fund transfers, and daily user interfaces. In short, stop reinventing the wheel. Build a world-class application with a stunning user experience, and you control the users; control the users, and you control the market.

The Hyper Foundation proposes a validator vote to formally confirm that the HYPE tokens held by the Assistance Fund have been burned, permanently removing them from the circulating and total supply. The Assistance Fund, as part of L1 execution, automatically converts transaction fees into HYPE tokens. The Assistance Fund uses the system address 0xfefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefefe. Similar to the zero address, the Assistance Fund system address has never owned the private key to control its funds. These funds are mathematically irretrievable without a hard fork. Voting "Agree" means validators agree to consider the HYPE tokens held by the Assistance Fund as burned. Since these tokens are already in a system address without a private key, no on-chain action is required. This vote is a binding social consensus, promising never to authorize protocol upgrades to access this address. The result will be determined based on the staking weight consensus as of 04:00 UTC on December 24th.
