Vitalik Buterin emphasizes the importance of encryption privacy for local AI agents, which can prevent the leakage of user behavior during API calls. He mentioned that hybrid networks can initially hide behavior, but service providers need to implement anti-DoS mechanisms, and payment processes involve tracking risks. Encryption technology can effectively protect user privacy.

Privacy Wallet and Crypto Card Service Provider Payy Announce Launch of a Privacy-Focused Ethereum Layer 2 Network, Now Directly Integratable with MetaMask. The network defaults to privacy-preserving ERC-20 token transfers without requiring any modifications to existing smart contracts, aiming to enable on-chain financial activities to remain compliant while minimizing external traceability. Payy states that in the past, privacy often meant complex experiences, fragmented liquidity, or poor compatibility. This network's underlying architecture allows "privacy to run in the background." Its system automatically routes user transactions to private ERC-20 liquidity pools to hide the true flow of funds; when users interact with DeFi protocols, assets are transferred to newly generated addresses, further reducing on-chain linkability. Related private data is stored in an off-chain privacy vault, allowing users to choose different privacy and compliance combinations based on their needs.

A recent study has sounded the alarm for the crypto industry. Blockchain data company Chainstory released a report stating that over 60% of cryptocurrency press releases are related to high-risk or scam projects. These are being disseminated through "press release distribution networks" across numerous websites, creating a false impression of project "legitimacy and compliance." The research team reviewed 2,893 press releases published between June and November 2025 and found that most originated from projects with obvious risk signals, including anonymous teams, exaggerated and unrealistic promises, copied website structures, and marketing language with intimidation tactics. Some projects were also confirmed to have addresses that highly overlap with blacklists and scam alert systems, essentially constituting fraudulent activities.

The Ministry of Public Security announced that the "Cybercrime Prevention and Control Law (Draft for Public Consultation)" has been drafted and is open for public comments. The deadline is March 2, 2026. The bill clearly stipulates that any individual or organization shall not hide or transfer others' illegal online gains.
