<h4>Major Worldwide News Update:</h4>
<ul>

The <a href="https://www.coingabbar.com/en/crypto-currency-news/blackrock-met-sec-to-discuss-their-bitcoin-etf-application" class="f-link">SEC</a> emphasized cash creates during the call, requiring issuers to convert Bitcoin to cash before trading ETF shares. This move aims to align with the SEC's policy, preventing direct Bitcoin trading. With a looming decision deadline by January 10, the SEC may be seeking a more stringent model, and multiple calls were made to exchanges and issuers. </li> 
 <li> Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse criticized SEC Chair Gary Gensler, accusing him of hypocrisy and friendship with Wall Street figures. Gensler's comments on crypto non-compliance drew ire, with Garlinghouse referencing Gensler's meetings with FTX's former CEO amid the platform's collapse. Coinbase's petition seeking SEC clarity on crypto compliance remains unanswered. </li> 
 <li> Polkadot's relay chain achieved a significant milestone, recording one million transactions in a day, driven by a surge in inscriptions. The chain's increasing activity, supported by 50 parachains, could lead to a potential daily transaction volume of 3.6 million, according to crypto commentator asynchronous rob. Polkadot's recent success in blockchain revenue growth, with over 300% growth in the last seven days, positions it as a notable player in the industry. </li> 
 <li> The Web3 compensation survey by Variant and USV reveals resilience in the sector amid a bear market. Web3 startups, competing for talent within the sector, maintain hiring plans despite challenges. Higher talent costs, evolving compensation structures, and decentralized teams mark the Web3 landscape's dynamics. </li> 
 <li> Argentina officially approves the use of Bitcoin in contractual agreements, signaling a significant shift in the country's approach to cryptocurrency. The move, aligned with President Milei's economic vision, may lead to broader crypto adoption in Argentina and potentially influence global perspectives on cryptocurrency use. </li> 
 <li> Terraform Labs and the SEC reach a protective order agreement in their civil case, with materials labeled confidential to remain undisclosed publicly. The case, involving charges of multi-billion dollar securities fraud, holds implications for legal precedents in the cryptocurrency sector and questions the SEC's regulatory approach. </li> 
 <li> Coinbase expands into France with a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license, signaling a strategic move amidst heightened regulatory pressures in the U.S. The French expansion aligns with the country's tech hub ambitions, and Coinbase enters the market as France experiences rising cryptocurrency adoption. </li>
