Musk responds to his 2021 tweet about "sending a Dogecoin to the moon": The time is right.

On November 4th, Elon Musk referenced his own tweet from April 2021 stating, "SpaceX will send a real Dogecoin to the real moon," and said, "The time has come."

In 2021, after the tweet was published, the price of DOGE soared nearly 30% in a few minutes, showing Musk's huge influence on this meme coin. A few weeks later, the SpaceX founder confirmed that the company would indeed launch the "DOGE-1 lunar mission," accepting payment in DOGE.

DOGE-1 is a CubeSat mission developed by the Canadian company Geometric Energy Corporation (GEC), fully paid for with Dogecoin. Its payload will be launched on SpaceX's Falcon9 rocket, becoming the first space mission fully paid for with cryptocurrency. The launch of this mission has been delayed multiple times, but according to filings with the US Federal Communications Commission, it is still scheduled to take place by the end of 2025.

  • Drift Protocol on Solana Ecosystem Attacked, Losses Estimated at Over $200 Million

    On April 2, the derivative trading platform Drift Protocol, based on Solana, experienced a security incident. On-chain data indicates losses of at least approximately $200 million, with some estimates nearing $270 million. The project team reported that they have detected unusual activity and are currently investigating, advising users not to deposit funds into the protocol and emphasizing that 'this is not an April Fool's joke.' The attack involved multiple liquidity pools, including JLP Delta Neutral, SOL Super Staking, and BTC Super Staking. A single transaction involved the transfer of approximately 41.7 million JLP tokens, valued at around $155 million, along with other assets such as SOL, USDC, cbBTC, and wBTC being withdrawn. According to statistics, this incident may become one of the largest DeFi attacks in the Solana ecosystem since the Wormhole bridge exploit.

  • U.S. Treasury Releases First Draft Rules for GENIUS Act, Seeks State Regulatory Input for Small Stablecoin Issuers

    On April 2, the U.S. Treasury released the first proposed rulemaking notice (NPRM) for the Guidance and Establishment of the U.S. Stablecoin National Innovation Act (GENIUS Act), seeking public input on the criteria for determining the applicable state regulatory framework for small stablecoin issuers. The proposal aims to clarify that when a state regulatory system is 'substantially similar' to the federal framework, stablecoin issuers with a market capitalization below $10 billion may choose to be regulated at the state level rather than under comprehensive federal regulation. The public will have a 60-day comment period following the publication of the rule in the Federal Register. The Treasury stated that the rule will establish overall principles for determining whether state regulation meets federal standards. Currently, major U.S. banking regulators, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), are also releasing related draft rules to advance the stablecoin regulatory framework. Meanwhile, the GENIUS Act does not yet address rules for interest-bearing stablecoins, which has become a significant obstacle for Congress in advancing broader cryptocurrency market structure legislation.
