2024年第四季度，Filecoin在存储模型上进行了重大转型，专注于企业采用而非单纯增加存储容量。这一策略使总存储容量从4.8 EiB降至4.2 EiB，但存储效率提升，利用率从31%上升至32%。此转型有利于长期数据存储、人工智能工作负载及合规需求。Filecoin的企业战略使客户数量环比增长10%，总数达到2263个，其中751个客户管理超过1000 TiB的大型数据集。Filecoin与Qamcom DDS的合作进一步增强了存储安全性，吸引了如YayPal和Fieldstream等客户。财务方面，第四季度存款达到9900万美元，较第三季度增长21%。尽管流出资金增加至7500万美元，但流动性需求依然强劲。此外，FIL价格上涨30%至4.9美元，流通市值增加36%至30亿美元。随着基础设施网络的重大升级，Filecoin在2025年有望继续引领企业级去中心化存储解决方案市场。

Recent court documents have unveiled that FTX liquidated $1.53 billion in assets belonging to Three Arrows Capital (3AC) just two weeks prior to the hedge fund's collapse in 2022. This revelation contradicts earlier narratives that attributed 3AC's downfall solely to market conditions. Once valued at over $10 billion, 3AC faced a significant crisis after a series of leveraged trades went awry, leading to its eventual bankruptcy amid the May 2022 crypto crash, which saw Bitcoin plummet to $16,000. The hedge fund had borrowed extensively from over 20 large institutions before its collapse. The newly discovered evidence indicates that 3AC was unaware of FTX's liquidation actions due to the latter's own bankruptcy proceedings. As a result, 3AC has sought to increase its claim against FTX from $120 million to the full $1.53 billion, asserting that it only recently became aware of the liquidations. A court has ruled that 3AC acted in good faith, allowing it to pursue this larger claim in the ongoing bankruptcy case of FTX. Meanwhile, a British Virgin Islands court has frozen $1.14 billion in assets belonging to 3AC co-founders Kyle Davies and Su Zhu, as Teneo estimates that creditors are still owed approximately $3.3 billion following the hedge fund's collapse. Despite the significant sum involved, analysts suggest that even with the additional $1.53 billion, 3AC might not have been able to avert bankruptcy. Nicolai Sondergaard, a research analyst at Nansen, indicated that the hedge fund likely would not have met creditor claims or debt repayments even with the liquidated assets. The situation has drawn attention from industry figures, including Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, who expressed curiosity about FTX's potential involvement in the broader market turmoil during that period. The fallout from 3AC's collapse continues to reverberate through the crypto landscape, raising questions about the interconnectedness of various entities in the market.

The decentralized finance (DeFi) sector is experiencing a significant shift as the U.S. Congress has voted to nullify a controversial IRS rule that mandated DeFi protocols to report gross proceeds from crypto sales and taxpayer information. This rule, issued in December 2024 and set to take effect in 2027, was deemed burdensome by industry lobby groups and was seen as an overreach of the IRS's authority. The bipartisan vote in the House of Representatives has garnered support from the White House, with President Donald Trump poised to sign the bill into law. However, the DeFi community remains concerned about finding a balance between user privacy and regulatory compliance moving forward. Privacy issues were central to the objections raised by the crypto industry against the IRS rule. Advocates like Marta Belcher, president of the Filecoin Foundation, emphasized the importance of user anonymity in transactions, akin to cash dealings. The Blockchain Association also criticized the rule as an infringement on privacy rights, warning that it could push DeFi operations offshore. While the rule has been halted, there is still a lack of established privacy guidelines, which industry leaders like Vivek Raman argue are essential for the sector's progression. He stressed the need for clear frameworks that allow for privacy while adhering to Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering requirements. As the crypto industry grapples with the dual demands of user privacy and regulatory oversight, the question of how to effectively regulate DeFi remains complex. The decentralized nature of these protocols complicates accountability, making it challenging for regulators to enforce traditional financial rules. Despite these hurdles, there is optimism that solutions such as zero-knowledge proofs could facilitate compliance without compromising user privacy. Meanwhile, the Senate Banking Committee's recent approval of the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin bill, signals progress towards a more structured regulatory environment. However, comprehensive regulations for DeFi may still be a distant goal, as ongoing studies aim to assess the risks and benefits associated with these innovative financial systems.
