The power of the East India Company is rooted in its monopoly over physical trade routes. They used gunboats and fortresses to ensure exclusive rights to the trade in spices, tea, and opium, and reaped huge profits from it. The new era "digital East India Company" will exercise power by controlling the financial tracks of global value flows. When a dollar stablecoin regulated by the U.S. Treasury or a specific agency becomes the default settlement unit for global cross-border payments, DeFi (decentralized finance) lending, and RWA (real world asset) transactions, its issuer has the power to define the rules of the new financial system. They can decide who can access the system, freeze assets at any address according to instructions, and set compliance standards for transactions. This is a deeper and more intangible power than controlling physical routes.

In July 1853, Commodore Perry arrived in Japan — East met West with gunboats and inked treaties.

"Midway Battle" Although it's called a commercial blockbuster, to be honest, this kind of war film has been overmade. However, the distinctive feature of this film lies in the special effects created by spending a lot of money. The sounds of guns and cannons flying all over the sky, explosions, and the grand war scenes make the viewing experience extremely rich. The cause and effect of the Battle of Midway are described in great detail. The most important part is the high-energy war scenes throughout the entire process without any dull moments, especially the aircraft Ships and gunboats are so thrilling that they make people's blood boil. That's all

Developer ports Tornado Cash to MegaETH testnet A developer known as Gunboats has ported the #TornadoCash protocol to the #MegaETH #testnet, allowing private transactions on the high-throughput #blockchain. The move comes after the U.S. Treasury Department removed Tornado Cash addresses from the OFAC sanctions list in January. #Gunboats named the new contract #ETHTornado and used the deprecated Truffle framework for deployment, noting that modern tools like Foundry have simplified smart contract development. The developer downplayed legal risks, referencing Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm, who remains in a legal battle with the U.S. Department of Justice. 👉 theblock.co/post/347632/developer-ports-tornado-cash-to-megaeth-testnet-as-treasury-department-lifts-sanctions-against-main-protocol
