Solana memecoin platform Pump.fun has revived its live streaming feature, five months after pulling the plug over disturbing misuse. According to the platform’s co-founder Alon Cohen , the feature has returned with stronger moderation tools and “transparent guidelines” in place. For now, it’s only available to 5% of users as part of a limited rollout to test the revamped system. In its new moderation policy , Pump.fun said it’s aiming to strike a balance between creativity and safety with the goal of cultivating a social environment on the platform that “preserves creativity and freedom of expression and encourages meaningful engagement amongst users, free of illegal, harmful, and negative interactions.” The guidelines encourage open expression but crack down on illegal, harmful, or otherwise inappropriate content. That includes bans on violence, animal abuse, pornography, and anything endangering minors. Repeat or severe violations could result in account termination. The platform also reserves the right to make judgment calls on content when necessary, noting that some NSFW material might still appear but will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis using both automated and human moderation tools. The livestream feature was originally pulled in November 2024 after a string of disturbing incidents shook the community . Users had begun using livestreams to make shocking threats, including one case where a user allegedly shared a video appearing to take their own life after their token failed to hit a market cap target. The fallout was immediate. Crypto users, influencers, and safety advocates slammed the platform for not doing enough to prevent harm after Beau, a safety product manager at Pudgy Penguins, brought attention to the aforementioned incident and criticized the platform on X. Hey @pumpdotfun there is currently someone using your livestreams to threaten to hang themselves if the coin does not reach a set marketcap. Absolutely heinous and It needs to come down + see if you can get them help. Shut down the livestream feature. This is out of control. In response, Pump.fun issued a community message acknowledging the damage, expressing regret, and outlining new steps to address moderation gaps. They doubled the number of human moderators, introduced smarter automated filters, and added support resources for viewers impacted by the livestreams. Now, with a cautious relaunch and new safeguards in place, Pump.fun says it’s committed to rebuilding trust while giving creators a safe space to connect with their audience. Many in the community praised Pump.fun’s revised approach and expressed optimism about its future role in memecoin activity. See below. happy to see this back and strong rollout based on learnings. looking forward to see round 2! The latest rollout comes as Pump.fun struggles to regain momentum following a sharp drop in revenue and user engagement . As previously reported by crypto.news, the platform’s daily fees recently hit a four-month low, with data showing a 94% drop since January. Much of the slowdown has been linked to a fading memecoin frenzy that has cooled significantly since January.

JPMorgan issued a stark warning about growing economic risks on April 4, as Richard Madigan, chief investment officer of its private bank, outlined the potential consequences of escalating tariffs. In a note titled “High Anxiety: Market Implications of Tariffs,” Madigan described a dramatic shift in the market narrative, from optimism to fear, as trade tensions deepen. “Liberation to isolation,” he wrote, following China’s decision to impose a 34% counter tariff on all imported U.S. goods. He warned that the current policy path may drive the U.S. and global economies closer to recession. The JPMorgan executive projected that tariffs, if left in place, could push inflation up by “+1-2%” and take a comparable toll on economic growth. He warned: If the U.S. tariffs announced stick and we don’t see further tit-for-tat escalation, rising concern of slower growth and higher inflation may become something worse, a race to recession. Self-inflicted pain. He advised investors to monitor 10-year bond yields closely, as a drop would suggest markets are increasingly pricing in recession risk. Madigan also flagged corporate earnings expectations as overly optimistic: “I expect the 10% earnings forecast this year will quickly ratchet lower. The same for next year.” Madigan likened the U.S. trade stance to an overly aggressive opening in a negotiation: “We’re watching in real time a ‘101-class’ on negotiation. It begins with anchoring.” But when starting points are “absurdly high,” he cautioned, credibility suffers. “No one’s happy with the tariffs announced except the President,” Madigan wrote, suggesting the current approach risks alienating trading partners and dragging the global economy down. On monetary policy, he pushed back against expectations for four Federal Reserve rate cuts, stating: That strikes me unlikely. I’m anchoring on one, the second half of this year. If growth abruptly turns lower, perhaps two. Time will tell. With consumer spending faltering and companies potentially scaling back hiring, the JPMorgan executive concluded: “Tail risk is higher, markets aren’t inexpensive, the outlook’s uncertain.” 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade has now been scheduled to go live on the mainnet on May 7, 2025. The announcement was made during a call held by the blockchain’s core developers on April 3. Pectra is one of Ethereum’s most significant upgrades since the network’s transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism in 2022. It merges the Prague execution layer with the Electra consensus layer and includes 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) aimed at improving the blockchain’s scalability, efficiency, and usability. Originally planned for March 2025, the changes were postponed due to challenges encountered during testnet implementation. Specifically, the Holesky testnet experienced finality issues, preventing developers from proceeding with the original timeline. Additionally, a minor bug was discovered on the Sepolia testnet in early March, which was identified and resolved before further testing. Developers then launched the Hoodi testnet, successfully running the enhancements without major incidents. This phase led to the confirmation of the May 7, 2025, mainnet deployment date. “We’ll go ahead and lock in May 7 for Pectra on mainnet,” said Ethereum Foundation researcher Alex Stokes during yesterday’s core developers’ call . “Happy Pectra everyone.” Despite recent developments, Ethereum’s market performance has remained weak, with its native ETH token posting its worst first-quarter performance in 7 years. A recent report from CryptoQuant showed that the ecosystem continues to struggle due to low activity, declining transaction fees, and a reduced ETH burn rate, all of which have contributed to increased inflationary pressure on the network. Pectra contains several improvements aimed at making Ethereum more user-friendly and efficient. Key features in the new version include smart contract functionality for wallets, enhanced staking capabilities, account abstraction, privilege management, and the ability to sponsor transaction fees. Account abstraction will allow Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) to function similarly to smart contract wallets, introducing advanced features such as transaction batching, fee sponsorship, and custom security rules. These improvements are expected to enhance Ethereum’s flexibility, making decentralized applications (dApps) more accessible to users. Petra also increases the validator staking limit from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH. This change supports larger validators and allows smaller ones to receive compounding rewards. Another addition is Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS), which reduces costs for layer-2 solutions by allowing nodes to verify large data availability without downloading all of it. The upgrade also includes the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Object Format, which enhances EVM code to support future functionality on both layer-1 and layer-2 networks.
