Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) have been an important component of continuous discussion in the cryptocurrency community. CBDCs are virtual forms of national fiat currencies. They are typically based on blockchain technology and are issued and regulated by the nation's official monetary organization. CBDCs differ from cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum in that they are backed by the central bank's domestic currency deposits and regulated by the central bank, whereas cryptocurrencies are not.
Ethereum has consistently followed its roadmap for continuous development toward a proof-of-stake consensus protocol and laid a solid foundation for Ethereum 2.0 in 2020. This smart contract blockchain has firmly established its platform and gained support from ETH, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, and has become a primary resource for developers to build blockchain-based applications and tools. The rise of decentralized finance has largely been built on the Ethereum blockchain, adding credibility to the platform's decentralized functionality.
Currently, Zcash has three version codenames: Sprout, Sapling, and the soon-to-be-deployed Halo 2. Each version has corresponding code and respective anonymous mining pool addresses, so these codenames will be used directly in subsequent translations.

Ben Edgington reviews the development process of the Ethereum beacon chain in the article and revisits Ethereum's triple roadmap for 2021: the "merge" between Eth1 and Eth2, sharding, and specific content related to light clients (which Vitalik announced in mid-November 2020). At the same time, Ben Edgington states in the article that assuming the beacon chain continues to run smoothly, Ethereum 2.0's task in the first few weeks of 2021 is to refine these three workflows into specific delivery plans.
If people believe in Bitcoin's value, then even if there are several crashes and bumps along this value path, it's actually normal. In fact, from a long-term perspective, Bitcoin should maintain an upward trend. Even though many people think there's a bubble, as Georgetown University finance professor James Angel said, the history of financial markets is the history of bubbles—so, while being cautious about risks, don't be afraid. On November 28, 2017, Bitcoin broke through $10,000. On December 16, 2020, Bitcoin broke through $20,000.

The end of 2020 made this year an amazing one in Bitcoin's history. Here, we might as well look back at some predictions made by crypto industry insiders about BTC's price at the end of 2020.

According to Diem's original stablecoin design, the basket of fiat currencies it pegs to includes five currencies.

Think about what you might have collected as a child - Pokémon cards, stamps, video games, books, posters, or maybe even marbles or bugs. As an adult, your collection might look very different.

Pixabay Blockchain constructs a distributed peer-to-peer system that serves as a secure and verifiable decentralized mechanism for confirming transactions, widely applied in financial economics, Internet of Things, big data, edge cloud computing, and edge intelligence fields. 1. Blockchain-empowered Edge Intelligence and IoT In application scenarios of edge intelligence and IoT such as autonomous driving, which are highly dynamic, ultra-low latency, resource-constrained, and feature decoupled data and computing, blockchain technology can effectively accelerate the implementation of edge artificial intelligence and IoT computing.
In 2021, you may hear the term "DeFi" more and more frequently. DeFi is short for Decentralized Finance. This is a category of applications on public blockchains aimed at creating financial services without centralized intermediaries. DeFi depicts a vision where everyone can directly participate in global peer-to-peer financial activities. This vision requires long-term effort, but it will ultimately change the world. However, current DeFi is also considered a permissionless casino built on Ethereum.
If we were to choose a few keywords for the cryptocurrency field in 2020, "DeFi" and "liquidity mining" would definitely be selected. Although before this, the ecosystem in DeFi fields such as decentralized exchanges, stablecoins, and collateralized lending was already quite mature, it was thanks to liquidity mining that these projects truly exploded in 2020. First, let's organize some landmark events of DeFi in 2020 from a timeline perspective.
What is Polkadot parachain slot auction? What is the auction process like? PolkaWorld: Polkadot consists of a relay chain + a bunch of parachains. Parachains can enjoy Polkadot's shared security and can interact with other parachains, making them very valuable. However, the number of parachain slots on Polkadot is limited, and these slots are called "slots". Projects that want to become parachains and connect to Polkadot need to compete for these slots. How do they compete? Through slot auctions, where each project can lock DOT tokens to participate in the bidding.
The development of blockchain technology has brought more imaginative possibilities to modern society. Bruno Maçães, Senior Fellow at Hudson Institute and former Portuguese Minister for European Affairs, argues in this article that the ultimate hope of crypto technology lies not in digital currencies, but in replacing traditional state structures. Throughout history, world powers (Spain, Netherlands, France, Britain) have often been replaced by more dynamic competitors.
Bitcoin (BTC), which rose from $20,000 to $40,000 in 23 days, experienced a major pullback. On January 11, BTC fell from an opening price of $39,674 to $32,500 at one point, plummeting 18% in a short time. The entire crypto asset market followed suit, with mainstream assets like ETH and BCH all experiencing drops of around 20%. This waterfall-like decline reminded investors of "3·12", and voices saying "the bull is gone" began to emerge again. Before this crash, the "whale" Grayscale Trust had not increased its BTC holdings for 18 consecutive days, instead reducing its position by 499 coins.
By 2021, almost no one would question the fact that "the U.S. has far greater regulatory proactivity and influence over the crypto industry than other countries."

The intentions behind these measures will affect every project team and investor. Following, understanding, and grasping U.S. regulatory attitudes to reduce future uncertainties has become a "necessary survival skill" for practitioners.

The most interesting aspect of the cryptocurrency industry is its ability to connect with many different fields of knowledge: mathematics, cryptography, computer science, game theory, economics, finance, physics, sociology, political science... But there's one discipline that seems to have no connection with cryptocurrency, and that is: biology. Today we'll explore from this perspective: if we compare Ethereum to a "plant," then the fruit it bears is "trust." In filling the gaps in a world without trust, Ethereum can play an important role.
Recent statements from the U.S. President's Working Group on Financial Markets and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regarding stablecoins both indicate that the U.S. government will not develop a USD CBDC in the near term, but will instead have the innovation industry provide USD stablecoins.

Among the various types of companies that could potentially launch USD stablecoins, U.S. commercial banks are most likely to be the first to launch USD stablecoins.
