Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform, stating that in the discussion of Ethereum's consensus mechanism, there is a proposal to replace the current finality component Casper FFG with a new one called Minimmit. He believes that Casper FFG employs a two-round finality mechanism (validators need to sign twice to complete "proof" and "final confirmation"), while Minimmit requires only a single round of signatures to achieve finality.As a trade-off, the fault tolerance threshold of Minimmit will be reduced from 33% in Casper FFG to about 17%. Although the fault tolerance ratio decreases, Minimmit can more likely allow the network to enter a state of "multi-chain competition rather than erroneous final confirmation" in various attack or client vulnerability scenarios, which is easier to recover through community coordination. He believes that compared to erroneous blocks being finalized, the absence of finality for a short period is safer and more recoverable, thus suggesting that Minimmit may be superior in overall security trade-offs.

The Italian Securities Market Regulator (Consob) issued a notice reminding that, according to the EU Regulation on Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCAR), virtual asset service providers (VASP) currently registered with the OAM in Italy must submit an application to transition to a regulated crypto asset service provider (CASP) by December 30, 2025, in order to continue operating. Otherwise, they will not be allowed to provide related services from that date, and must cease operations by June 30, 2026, at the latest.Consob specifically reminds investors: it is essential to confirm whether the VASP currently partnered with plans to apply for a CASP license; check if the service provider is listed in the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) or OAM registry; if the service provider is not authorized, investors have the right to request the return of their assets. Consob also reiterates its urging to VASP: those who have not applied for CASP authorization must cease operations by December 30, close all contracts, and return user funds; clearly disclose future operational plans or exit arrangements to users. This notice is part of the comprehensive implementation of MiCAR in the EU, ensuring a smooth and orderly transition in the market.
