An article in the Science and Technology Daily, titled "The Application of Digital Yuan Accelerates, Beware of These Scams," revealed that Liu Xiaochun, director of the Shanghai Financial Digitalization Research Center, disclosed that some criminals are using instant messaging tools and other channels to spread information about purchasing digital yuan wallets with the lure of high returns.

According to Odaily, Vitalik Buterin recently expressed on the Farcaster platform that prediction markets serve as a remedy for extreme opinions on emotional topics. He believes that, in theory, the worst-case scenario for prediction markets is harm induced for profit, but small-scale prediction markets on large-scale events do not fall into this category. Traditional stock markets also have similar drawbacks, where political participants can profit from disasters by shorting stocks. Buterin emphasized that prediction markets have advantages over social media and mainstream media. Social media lacks accountability, whereas prediction markets use a profit and loss mechanism to ensure the system becomes more truth-seeking over time. The probabilities displayed by prediction markets more accurately reflect the world's uncertainties compared to other systems. Since prediction market prices are confined between 0 and 1, they are healthier than regular markets and less affected by reflexivity, the greater fool theory, or pump-and-dump schemes.

In an article published on the Farcaster platform, Vitalik Buterin stated that prediction markets are the antidote to the irrational views expressed in emotionally charged issues. He believes that, theoretically, the worst-case scenario for prediction markets is inducing harm for profit, but this is not the case for small-scale prediction markets targeting large-scale events. Traditional stock markets also suffer from similar drawbacks, where political actors can profit from disasters by shorting stocks. Buterin points out that prediction markets have advantages over social media and mainstream media. Social media lacks accountability, while prediction markets, through profit and loss mechanisms, ensure that the system tends to seek the truth over time, and their displayed probabilities more accurately reflect the uncertainty of the world than other systems. Because prediction market prices are confined between 0 and 1, they are healthier than ordinary markets and less susceptible to reflexive effects, the greater fool theory, or market manipulation.
