    Analysis: The Federal Reserve's new bond-buying program is essentially still QE, and stablecoins are currently the most urgent issue regarding currency quality
    On December 12, former Morgan Stanley NFA trader Jeff Park posted on X, stating that the Federal Reserve's recently announced reserve management-driven purchase plan, although labeled as "reserve management," is essentially still QE, but upgraded from "quantitative easing" to "qualitative easing." Under an ample reserves system, reserves have perfect balance sheet flexibility due to a 0% risk weight under LCR, far superior to short-term Treasury bonds. This also explains why the SLR rules were suddenly relaxed before Thanksgiving and why a $40 billion monthly purchase plan was quickly announced within two weeks before the end of QT. In short, short-term Treasury bonds are "near money," but reserves are "perfect money." In addition, Jeff Park added that stablecoins are currently the most urgent "money quality" issue, which is also why cryptocurrencies can never truly disappear.

    The US Congress urges the SEC to allow Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to be included in 401(k) retirement plans.
    According to ChainCatcher, market sources report that the U.S. Congress is urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve the inclusion of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in 401(k) retirement plans. Members of the House Financial Services Committee have sent a letter to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, urging him to update securities regulations so that digital assets are treated as an investment category equivalent to other alternative investments in retirement accounts. Lawmakers pointed out that Americans saving for retirement deserve more investment options, and that current rules are outdated and overly restrictive, preventing millions from accessing new asset classes. They also emphasized the need to redefine the standards for "qualified investors." At present, strict investor qualification requirements limit participation in certain private and alternative investment markets. Such plans are typically only available to wealthy or high-net-worth individuals. Now, Congress hopes to expand the rules to include people with professional licenses, relevant work experience, or those who can pass competency exams. Lawmakers also stated that the SEC should coordinate with the Department of Labor, which oversees retirement plan fiduciaries, to jointly develop regulations. They believe that both agencies need to find a safe and responsible way to include alternative assets as investment options in 401(k) plans.

    Aave will update its liquidation engine in V4, introducing optimizations such as dynamic liquidation thresholds and an automated auction mechanism.
    According to ChainCatcher, Aave's official account posted on X stating that since its inception, Aave has processed nearly 295,000 liquidations, totaling over $3.3 billion. These liquidations protect the protocol from bad debt and maintain system health. In light of this, based on the V3 liquidation mechanism, Aave V4 introduces a redesigned and optimized liquidation mechanism. The main advantages include: 1. The introduction of dynamic liquidation thresholds and an automated auction mechanism, reducing manual intervention and improving liquidation speed and capital efficiency; 2. By integrating on-chain oracles and MEV (Miner Extractable Value) protection, slippage and manipulation risks during the liquidation process are reduced; 3. Support for partial liquidation and batch processing, allowing borrowers to avoid full liquidation at a lower cost.
