Coinbase Derivatives LLC have filed certifications with CFTC to list US regulated futures for Dogecoin, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash: Summersthings

Futures are set to start trading on April 1 if there are no objections from CFTC

James Seyffart: This is interesting... wonder if the SEC objects to these being classified 'commodities futures' vs 'securities futures'. These all forked from or based off Bitcoin so "these are securities" claims would be hard to make after spot Bitcoin    ETF approvals. Might be why Coinbase chose them 🤔

"When the SEC allowed ETH Futures ETFs to trade on its regulated security exchanges, it explicitly acknowledged the status of the underlying, ETH, as being a non-security and outside of its jurisdiction": Brian Quintenz [a16z global head of policy and Ex-CFTC
Commissioner]

[3 day old news but important one]

Anyone with a lot of money in a crypto wallet on their Apple device should probably remove it for the time being, to be on the safe side, according to Robert Graham, CEO of security consultancy Errata Security: link ⚠️ 🚨

A group of researchers has found a serious security vulnerability in Apple’s M-series of chips that would allow attackers to steal secret keys from Mac and iPad devices. The problem affects Apple M1, M2 and M3 chips

Solution:
Because this is not a flaw in the Apple operating system but instead is a hardware issue in the chip, Apple can’t just release a patch the way it would for software flaws. It could, however, address the problem in subsequent chip designs.

*Their is a fix for M3 chips by implementing DIT but it will not work for M2 and M1 chips. Matthew Green, a cryptographer says they’re not clean fixes to address the problem in M1 and M2 chips.

Attack vector:
How does an attacker trick the processor? They can do this by slipping malicious code into an application that a user downloads to their computer. The GoFetch attack code they created doesn’t require root access on a machine to work; it can trick the processor into doing this with just the same level of access that any third-party application has on a machine.

**It’s also theoretically possible for an attacker to pull this off by embedding malicious code into Javanoscript on a web site. ⚠️
