  • Wages Paid in Bitcoin? Bill Introduced in Brazil Might Make It Possible The bill seeks to allow wages and other labor-linked payments to be partially settled using virtual assets in Brazil and also calls for educating workers about volatility and transaction security issues. Lawmakers to Review Bitcoin Wages Bill in Brazil A new bill has been introduced in Congress to regulate the payment of wages and other labor-linked obligations using bitcoin in Brazil. The bill, titled “Regulation of the Payment of Salaries, Remunerations, and Labor Benefits with the Use of Virtual Assets,” opens the door for workers to legally receive part of their salary in bitcoin or another virtual asset. Introduced and sponsored by Luiz Philippe de Orleans e Bragança, the bill will need to be analyzed and pass the scrutiny of the Chamber of Deputies, which will decide if the project advances further to the Senate. If passed, workers might be able to receive up to 50% of their wages in bitcoin, provided there is mutual acceptance from both workers and employers. The value of the assets will have to be certified by an entity authorized by the central bank. Nonetheless, full payment of wages in bitcoin is prohibited, as the bill stipulates that at least 50% of these payments must be settled in national fiat currency. The proposal also requires companies to present detailed payment statements and educate workers about market volatility and transaction security when using crypto assets. According to Livecoins, De Orleans e Bragança believes these changes are necessary to integrate Brazil into the digital finance landscape, aligning local regulations with what countries like Portugal, Japan, and Switzerland already offer. He also remarked that this might entice financial companies to invest in the country, boosting innovation and giving workers more freedom to decide how to receive their wages. This, along with the implementation of stablecoins, which are very popular in Brazil, could provide workers with a hedge against devaluation and inflation. However, the bill is still in its initial phases, and it remains to be seen whether lawmakers will take a favorable stance toward the proposal.
  • Coinbase's Government Network Expands—145 US and 29 Global Entities Onboard Coinbase is deepening ties with 145 U.S. government entities as the nation accelerates bitcoin adoption, signaling unprecedented institutional demand and a seismic shift in crypto policy. Coinbase Strengthens Ties With Governments as US Embraces Bitcoin Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted the company’s expanding partnerships with government entities in a social media post last week. He shared: Across federal, state, and local, Coinbase now works with 145 government entities in the U.S. and 29 government entities outside the U.S. In the wake of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve launching, we’re seeing many more take an interest. Emphasizing the company’s mission to support global institutions in crypto adoption, Armstrong noted: “We’d like to help everyone custody, trade, and use crypto, and that includes governments around the world. Let’s bring everyone onchain!” President Donald Trump recently issued an executive order establishing a U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The move signals a shift in national policy toward recognizing bitcoin as a strategic asset. Additionally, the White House hosted its first-ever crypto summit, where industry leaders and policymakers discussed the future of digital assets in the U.S. economy. The meeting was widely seen as bullish for the crypto industry, with participants advocating for regulatory clarity and broader adoption. Moreover, Trump has suggested the creation of a crypto reserve featuring leading cryptocurrencies such as ether ( ETH), XRP, solana ( SOL), and cardano ( ADA). On its website, Coinbase positioned itself as “the trusted crypto partner to governments” and described how public institutions are becoming more involved in cryptocurrency. The company wrote: Governments around the globe are expanding their participation in the cryptoeconomy. Whether that means embracing bitcoin as a store of value or leveraging blockchain technology to make critical systems run more efficiently, public-sector institutions are rapidly becoming major players in crypto. The firm emphasized its role as a key institutional partner in crypto, noting it secures 12% of the market capitalization, has provided institutional solutions for 13 years, and offers custody for over 430 digital assets.
  • Libra, Melania creator’s ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ memecoin crashes 99% Hayden Davies continues launching memecoins plagued with insider trading activity despite being wanted by Interpol for previous crypto scams. Hayden Davies continues launching memecoins plagued with insider trading activity despite being wanted by Interpol for previous crypto scams. The creator of the Libra (LIBRA) token has launched another memecoin with some of the same concerning onchain patterns that pointed to significant insider trading activity ahead of the coin’s 99% collapse. Hayden Davis, the co-creator of the Official Melania Meme (MELANIA) and the Libra token, has launched a new Solana-based memecoin with an over 80% insider supply. Davis launched the Wolf (WOLF) memecoin on March 8, banking on rumors of Jordan Belfort, known as the Wolf of Wall Street, launching his own token. The token reached a peak $42 million market cap. However, 82% of the WOLF token’s supply was bundled under the same entity, according to a March 15 X post by Bubblemaps, which wrote: “The bubble map revealed something strange — $WOLF had the same pattern as $HOOD, a token launched by Hayden Davis. Was he behind this one too?” Source: Bubblemaps The blockchain analytics platform revealed transfers across 17 different addresses stemming back to address “OxcEAe” owned by Davis. “He funded these wallets months before $LIBRA and $WOLF launched, moving money through 17 addresses and 2 chains,” Bubblemaps added. Source: Bubblemaps The Wolf memecoin lost over 99% of its value within two days, from the peak $42.9 million market capitalization on March 8 at 4:00 am UTC to just $570,000 by publication time, Dexscreener data shows. WOLF/SOL, market cap, 1-hour chart. Source: Dexscreener Davies’ latest token launch comes weeks after the Libra token’s collapse, where eight insider wallets cashed out $107 million in liquidity, leading to a $4 billion market cap wipeout within hours. The Libra token turned into a political issue, with Argentine President Javier Milei risking impeachment after his endorsement of the Libra coin. Argentine lawyer Gregorio Dalbon has asked for an Interpol Red Notice to be issued for Davis, citing a “procedural risk” if Davis remained free as he could have access to vast amounts of money that would allow him to either flee the US or go into hiding. Related: Milei-endorsed Libra token was ‘open secret’ in memecoin circles — Jupiter Memecoins are turning into “retail value extraction tools” Memecoins are turning against crypto’s fundamental ethos of decentralization, becoming increasingly used to exploit retail investors amid the growing number of rug pulls, according to Anastasija Plotnikova, co-founder and CEO of blockchain regulatory firm Fideum. “Memecoins have evolved from community-driven social experiments into a chaotic landscape dominated by value extraction from retail investors,” Plotnikova told Cointelegraph, adding: “Insider rings, pump-and-dump schemes, and sniper groups have replaced the organic, collectible nature of original memecoins, creating an unhealthy playing field.” Investors will also need to distinguish between memecoins that can be seen as genuine “collectibles” and “outright fraudulent activities” like rug pulls which are “not only unethical but also clearly illegal, with case law to support enforcement.” “In my view, these activities should fall firmly within the jurisdiction of law enforcement agencies,” she added. United States regulators are becoming increasingly aware of the growing memecoin scams. A New York lawmaker introduced a bill that would establish criminal penalties specifically aimed at preventing cryptocurrency fraud and protecting investors from rug pulls, Cointelegraph reported on March 6. Under the proposal, new criminal charges would be created for offenses involving “virtual token fraud,” explicitly targeting deceptive practices associated with cryptocurrencies.
  • Coinbase Ventures Debuts Base Ecosystem Group on Echo Platform Coinbase Ventures Debuts Base Ecosystem Group on Echo Platform Base has become Ethereum’s top layer two (L2) across several metrics and Base projects will now have access to onchain startup capital on Echo. Projects building on Ethereum’s largest L2 network Base will now have access to early startup capital via the Echo platform thanks to the newly created Base Ecosystem Group announced by Coinbase Ventures on Thursday. Crypto thought leader Jordan Fish, more commonly known as, “Cobie,” launched Echo in March 2024 with the goal of democratizing early stage onchain investing. Token launches are notorious for giving venture capitalist (VCs) exclusive early access, allowing said VCs to subsequently make obscene profits on the backs of unsuspecting retail investors. Coinbase Ventures Debuts Base Ecosystem Group on Echo Platform (Jordan “Cobie” Fish / monzo.com) Meltem Demirors, general partner at Crucible Capital, dubbed this phenomenon, “The Sh*tcoin Waterfall” after witnessing the 2017 initial coin offering (ICO) frenzy. “All of the ‘smart money’ or privileged insiders get access to these tokens at massive discounts,” Demirors explained during an episode of the Unchained Podcast in 2018. “And then there’s this massive waterfall, where they just dump further and further downstream and make lots of money while retail loses out,” she added. Coinbase Ventures Debuts Base Ecosystem Group on Echo Platform (Crypto VC Meltem Demirors coined the term “Shitcoin Waterfall” after witnessing the 2017 ICO craze / Meltem Demirors on Medium) And now with a more transparent onchain fundraising platform like Echo, Coinbase Ventures’ debut of the Base Ecosystem Group hopes to allow community members and actual users to invest and support their favorite crypto startups. “Like us, Echo believes in democratizing access to investing so more people can back groundbreaking startups,” Coinbase Ventures posted on X. “Access should be broader, capital should be more dynamic, investing should be for more than just a small club of insiders.” It should be noted that investing in Echo is still only available to accredited and qualified investors. But even then, that is a much larger cohort than the small exclusive pool of crypto VCs.
