Flashbots strategic leader Hasu stated that charging fees to passive holders, allowing them to pay for projects investing in your ecosystem (such as Lido, Aave, and DAT, which collectively fund Ethereum client teams, multiple EF derivative projects, overall DeFi construction, etc.), is actually very good. The problem with Ethereum has never been excessive ETH issuance, but rather insufficient ecosystem investment.Reducing inflation will inevitably suppress investment reduction. Unfortunately, the Ethereum research community has never been good at predicting these second or third-order effects.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, an Ethereum ICO participant (0x6a5...5e5) deposited 0.1 ETH into Coinbase after 11 years of silence.The address initially invested only $620 to participate in the ICO and received 2000 ETH, which is currently worth $3.83 million, yielding a return of 6184 times.

Analyst Ali posted on platform X that the TD Sequential indicator has recently shown two buy signals on the Ethereum monthly chart, namely "Black 9" and "S13". According to the analysis, over the past four years, ETH monthly TD Sequential signals have often corresponded to trend reversals, including a 236% increase after the buy signal in September 2022 and a 258% increase after the buy signal in April 2025.If this round of signals is validated, it may drive Ethereum to start a new round of upward momentum, with a target around the $3000 level.

Galaxy Research stated that Ethereum and Solana are re-evaluating their token issuance mechanisms, with the core issue being how to balance the token budget required for network security with long-term supply pressure. Adjusting the inflation rate may have an impact.

Joseph Chalom, CEO of the Ethereum treasury company SharpLink, posted in opposition to Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8363. According to his disclosure, the current network issues new ETH to validators as staking rewards at a variable yield rate of about 2.75%. If the proposal is passed, it will be implemented in phases over approximately a year and a half, gradually destroying part of the issuance rewards as the staking amount increases. When about 50% of ETH is staked, the staking yield will drop to 0%, and validators will only be able to rely on transaction fees, which currently account for only 15% of staking rewards, to sustain themselves.Chalom presented four points of opposition:Staking yield is the factual benchmark for all on-chain interest rates. The approximately $35 billion TVL of liquid staking tokens is the core collateral for on-chain lending. A yield of zero will raise on-chain capital costs, making actual yields approach or even become negative. Collateral will migrate to assets that still generate yields, and independent stakers and small to medium operators will be the first to be squeezed out.The native yield characteristic is precisely the key reason institutions choose ETH over Bitcoin. Erasing this difference is equivalent to voluntarily giving up its competitive advantage just as ETH is outperforming Bitcoin.Issuance is not a cost to external parties but a transfer of value to security maintainers and builders within the network. Destroying it is a destruction of value rather than a redistribution of this portion of value.The current timing is the worst; Ethereum is in a rising phase of institutional adoption, and destruction incentives will suppress this wave of adoption momentum.He stated that SharpLink agrees with the proposal authors' goal of making ETH scarce and stabilizing the staking rate at a reasonable level, but believes this should be achieved through the existing base fee destruction mechanism rather than altering the economic foundation of the protocol.

Aave founder Stani Kulechov recently stated that SharpLink Gaming opposes Ethereum Improvement Proposal EIP-8363, claiming that SharpLink is one of the largest supporters and financial contributors to the Ethereum ecosystem. Stani mentioned that SharpLink executive Joseph Chalom raised some reasonable points regarding the feasibility and implementation timeline of the proposal.He also called on the community to "protect ETH staking," emphasizing that the interests and long-term impacts of staking ecosystem participants need to be fully considered when advancing improvements to the Ethereum protocol. EIP-8363 has recently sparked discussions in the Ethereum community, with related controversies mainly focusing on its potential impacts on the ETH staking mechanism, validator economic model, and ecological security. Community members are assessing the necessity of the proposal, its implementation pace, and the possible consequences it may bring.

According to crypto analyst alicharts, based on Ethereum's nearly 6-year historical trend, ETH tends to gain support after regaining the MVRV 0.8 price level, pushing towards the realized price (approximately $2300). Additionally, this signal is consistent with the previous four MVRV momentum golden crosses, which brought increases of 50% - 166%.alicharts believes that $3000 should be regarded as a key resistance area, due to over 10 million ETH historical transaction records.

According to monitoring by the KITE Foundation, its security monitoring system has flagged abnormal KITE token transfer activities on the Ethereum mainnet. The team subsequently initiated an incident response and suspended all KITE token transfers on the Ethereum mainnet, including cross-chain functionality.The affected tokens have been frozen and will not enter the secondary market. The investigation is still ongoing.

According to official news, the Ethereum Foundation's "Trillion Dollar Security" (1TS) has announced a special grant to the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) to support the ongoing development of the open-source tool WEBCAT, aimed at addressing the long-standing front-end code verification security gap in Ethereum wallets and decentralized applications (DApps).WEBCAT (Web-based Code Assurance and Transparency) is an open-source tool designed to help browsers verify whether the code loaded by a website matches the version publicly released by the developer.This funding will promote the expansion of WEBCAT to Ethereum wallets and application scenarios, enabling users to verify whether the front-end pages they access have been tampered with.The Ethereum Foundation stated that while HTTPS can verify the website a user is connected to and encrypt communication, it cannot prove that the front-end code actually running on the website is the same version released by the developer. If an attacker controls the website's front-end code, they may modify the transaction receiving address without the user's knowledge or induce the user to sign transactions that do not match the content displayed on the page.The Ethereum Foundation noted that front-end attacks have become a significant security risk for blockchain infrastructure, with malicious modifications to web interfaces potentially leading to supply chain attacks, DNS hijacking subsequent attacks, and user interface deception.WEBCAT was initially developed by the Freedom of the Press Foundation to enhance the code credibility of secure communication systems like SecureDrop.With this expansion into the Ethereum ecosystem, it will complement security measures such as "Clear Signing" in the 1TS program: the former helps wallets confirm that the application front-end has not been tampered with, while the latter helps users understand the transaction content they are approving.
