1. What is a pig-butchering crypto scam?
It is a long-con fraud where scammers build trust over time before extracting large investments through fake crypto platforms.

2. Does Bitwise’s Uniswap ETF registration mean approval is coming?
No, it’s a preparatory step; SEC approval would still require a separate formal filing and review process.

3. Why is Zcash’s rally considered risky?
Because the price surge is driven mainly by leveraged derivatives, while spot investors are actively selling.

4. Why are Bitcoin ETFs seeing outflows?
ETF outflows often reflect short-term risk-off sentiment, profit-taking, or macro uncertainty rather than structural rejection.

5. What is the goal of Ethereum’s ERC-8004 standard?
To give AI agents portable identities, reputations, and validation tools so they can interact trustlessly across platforms and blockchains.
