Let's see what we have for this week's roundup.
Week on Hive
I was a little worried about what to include in this section because this week was slow on news for Hive. Luckily, @detlev provided some...
... memories from Hive's Presence at Web3 Berlin
EDIT: I just discovered full-length videos from the event by @louis88. Check out his account for them, if you want to see them!
Last week was Web3 Berlin and Hive was an important part there. I was hoping for some videos and pictures from the event. And we got them, although the videos are mostly some teases:
- pictures
- tease video for @starkerz' presentation
- tease video for @arcange' presentation
- tease video for @elindos' presentation
- "powered by Hive"
- A BeerSaturday on the Sunday after the event
Leofinance Updates
This week was Leo Power Up Day, but the most interesting discussions revolve around LeoAds recently.
At the beginning of the week (or during the week-end, I'm not sure), the Leofinance team added LeoAds View Counters for Threads, one of the main precursors to adding the smart contract that actually buys and distributes $LEO to stakeholders using ad revenue.
Another interesting post on the LeoAds subject came later during the week, where, among other things, the team describes how their in-house ad system will work (in detail).
And if you missed the AMA, here's a link to it.
3Speak Updates
@sagarkothari88 released a minor update for both versions of mobile apps, but also talked about development progress with other features and the status of integration 3Speak into Ecency. All that in the development update.
I haven't had time to listen to it yet, but there is also a new CTT episode named "embracing corporate attack vectors on Web3". I'll listen to it, for sure.
BROFund News
I like when projects put out updates so that people have an idea of where they stand. If they are regular, even better. This week we have some news, teasers, and status reports from the Man Cave too.
Week in the Crypto World
BlackRock Files for Spot Bitcoin ETF
The asset management behemoth BlackRock recently filed for a spot bitcoin ETF approval by the SEC. Here are more details.
SEC Tries to Treat DeFi the Same Way as CeFi
I missed that this week, but it looks like the SEC (who else?) wants to have control over the DeFi space too. Speaking of critical crypto infrastructure from my post of yesterday...
Hong Kong to Regulate Stablecoins by 2024
stablecoins must be fully backed by high-quality and high-liquidity assets at all times. Stablecoins that derive their value based on arbitrage or algorithm will not be accepted

Seems like we have a trend here of what stablecoins will be "accepted".
Binance Under Continuous Fire...
Binance exits the Netherlands after failing to obtain the necessary license and is investigated in France for "aggravated" money laundry, despite having a license.
