BlockBeats News, January 6 — According to CoinDesk, Buck Labs has launched the cryptocurrency BUCK, positioned as a “Savings Coin” targeted at non-U.S. users, primarily offering passive income for USD-denominated crypto assets rather than traditional stablecoins.
BUCK’s initial price is set at $1, with no hard peg to the dollar, and its price can fluctuate with the market. Its yield is indirectly derived from Strategy (MSTR)-related assets: Buck Fund will hold STRC perpetual preferred shares linked to Bitcoin, which pay periodic dividends to the treasury, used to distribute returns to BUCK holders, with an current annualized target of about 7%, accruing by the minute.
Buck Labs emphasizes that Michael Saylor and Strategy are not involved, sponsor, or endorse this project. BUCK uses a governance token structure, allowing holders to participate in profit-sharing and governance votes, and the company states it is not issued as a security. BUCK aims to complement rather than replace stablecoins, targeting users who seek relatively predictable crypto yields but prefer not to trade frequently.

F2Pool co-founder Wang Chun: Bitcoin protocol upgrades should not use a “bundling bill” approach; opposed to BIP-110 and BIP-54
F2Pool co-founder Wang Chunzi said on X that a Bitcoin protocol upgrade should not be like an “omnibus bill” from American politicians, opposing BIP-110 and BIP-54. He noted that timestamp attacks offer miners no significant benefits, and that block validation efficiency has improved substantially; today, only the “repeated transaction” issue is worth fixing.
