Web3的加密吗喽Web3每日屁事-4月28日大家好，欢迎收听《加密吗喽》。今天是四月二十八日，让我们一起来了解下今天Web3发生的事情吧，记得点赞支持～特朗普主题迷因币TRUMP近日逆势上涨，单周涨幅达百分之八十五，尽管面临民主党议员以"出售总统访问权"为由提出的弹劾指控。该争议源于持有者获邀参加五月二十二日的私人晚宴，乔治亚州参议员奥索夫称此举涉嫌违反联邦道德准则。此前该代币刚完成三亿二千万美元的大额解锁，未来三个月还将释放价值七亿八千万美元的代币。虽然当前价格较历史高点仍下跌百分之七十七，但自晚宴消息公布后已累计上涨百分之七十。以太坊社区成员Kevin Owocki与Devansh Mehta提出一项新动态费用结构，旨在平衡应用层开发者的收入与费用公平性。提案建议，资金池规模越小，费用比例越高，规模越大则费用比例逐步降低，并在一千万美元以上封顶为百分之一。此举意在支持小型开发者，促进生态扩展，同时应对以太坊面临的竞争与收入压力。耐克因关闭其NFT平台RTFKT遭集体诉讼，原告要求五百万美元赔偿。诉状指控耐克利用品牌影响力推广未注册证券，并在平台关闭后导致投资者遭受重大损失。原告称无需界定NFT是否为证券即可审理此案。耐克于二零二一年收购RTFKT，相关NFT曾高达三点五以太币，但目前已跌至不足零点零一以太币。耐克对此未立即回应。美国总统特朗普支持的世界自由金融公司三位联合创始人近日在阿布扎比与币安创始人赵长鹏会面，讨论加密货币行业标准化及全球扩展策略。双方强调将推动创新、制定新标准，并促进行业增长。尽管面临政治压力与媒体质疑，赵长鹏与WLFI重申将持续致力于行业建设，并与新兴市场如巴基斯坦的区块链发展合作。好了，今天的内容就是这些。如果您喜欢我们的节目，别忘了订阅并分享给您的朋友哦！感谢您的收听，我们明天再见
