The Ethereum community has submitted a new improvement proposal EIP "Tapered Issuance Burn," aimed at adjusting the ETH issuance mechanism to reduce the centralization and dilution risks brought by excessively high staking ratios. The proposal points out that the ETH staking ratio has exceeded 1/3 of the total supply as of April 2026 and continues to grow.Under the current issuance curve, even if all ETH participates in staking, the staking yield will not be lower than about 1.5%, leading to a lack of a "closure mechanism" for staking incentives. This EIP proposes to destroy a portion of the theoretical rewards for validators in each epoch, with the destruction ratio increasing as the staking scale grows: when the staking rate reaches about 50%, the net staking yield will gradually decrease to 0. The proposal believes that this mechanism can limit the continuous expansion of ETH supply, reduce the dilution pressure on holders; prevent excessive concentration of staking in custodial institutions and staking service providers; and maintain ETH's properties as a neutral asset and value storage tool.According to the design, under the tapered issuance mechanism, the ETH issuance will peak at a staking rate of about 20%, with an annual issuance rate of about 0.5%, and will drop to zero when the staking rate reaches 50%. Combined with the EIP-1559 and Blob fee destruction mechanisms, the ETH supply may more frequently enter a deflationary state in the future. The authors of the proposal state that this plan is not aimed at individual stakers but rather corrects the long-term dilution issues brought by the current issuance curve, allowing staking yields to ultimately be determined by market risk premiums rather than fixed algorithmic incentives.

CryptoQuant analyst Axel Adler Jr. stated that the Bitcoin UTXO Stress Score has rebounded to 71.5, re-entering the 70 threshold, indicating that most of the supply is in a state of loss, and the market remains in a high-pressure zone.A year ago, when the price of Bitcoin was $114,000, this indicator was around the neutral range of 41; over the past year, it has spent nearly two-thirds of the time in high-pressure or extreme pressure zones, having reached an extreme level of 100 during the market crash in November 2025. Currently, the weekly momentum is +3, showing that pressure has started to increase moderately after a month of easing. Over the past month, the index has mainly fluctuated between 65-76, with no rapid deterioration or substantial recovery during this period. The analyst pointed out that if the index continues to fall below 70 and the momentum is negative, it will confirm the easing of pressure; conversely, if Bitcoin falls below the monthly low of about $61,500, the index may accelerate deterioration towards the 90+ region, recreating the extreme situation of last November.

According to ChianCatcher, Illia Polosukhin, co-founder of NEAR Protocol, proposed the establishment of a protocol sovereign fund at the governance forum to enhance the long-term sustainability of the network's token economics. This fund will consist of existing and future protocol treasuries and protocol revenues, holding NEAR tokens and generating returns, with part of the returns used to cover the costs of public goods in the ecosystem, such as security, validator support programs, and MPC service providers.Polosukhin stated that using ecological revenue to purchase NEAR and fund public goods with the returns is more aligned for the long term than simply burning tokens. The initial size of the protocol treasury is approximately 30 million NEAR (about 53 million USD), and more revenue and emissions can be injected into the fund through governance, gradually reducing effective inflation and potentially transitioning to a fixed supply. This proposal is currently open for discussion for two weeks and is not mandatory.
