Regarding the EIP proposal submitted by the Ethereum community, Aave founder and CEO Stani Kulechov expressed opposition, stating that the proposal cannot achieve its intended goals and will instead harm Ethereum. He pointed out that the proposal would cap ETH staking rewards at 0% when the staking rate exceeds 50%, making staking rewards unpredictable and potentially unprofitable for many participants. This poses a negative factor for institutional buyers considering establishing ETH positions, as they may turn to other networks with more predictable cash flows, resulting in significant adoption costs.Stani Kulechov further stated that reducing rewards to 0 would make ETH lending strategies fundamentally unfeasible, effectively stifling ETH's lending and yield scenarios. At that point, the only reason to borrow ETH would be to short it; meanwhile, holders of ETH beta and yield may turn to other interest-bearing assets like stablecoins. He mentioned that from a personal perspective, this proposal would undermine the viability of ETH as an asset and limit its potential, hoping that the proposal would not advance. Otherwise, a large number of participants would shift their interest to other networks, emphasizing that Ethereum should not be penalized for its growth.

According to official news, Cloudflare announced the launch of Cloudflare Wallets, providing payment and identity infrastructure for AI Agents.Cloudflare stated that currently, when AI Agents attempt new APIs, they typically need to go through registration, login, payment, and API key generation processes designed for humans. This lack of stable identity and native payment capabilities makes it difficult for agents to autonomously explore and compare different services, limiting the development of agent commerce. The newly launched wallet system aims to address this issue, allowing AI Agents to more conveniently purchase APIs, content, and other digital services.Cloudflare Wallets will support two modes: Account Wallets and Virtual Wallets. Among them, Account Wallets are aimed at individual and business users, allowing them to recharge, manage funds, and allocate budgets for AI Agents; Virtual Wallets are specifically designed for AI Agents, operating through API keys and allowing users to set spending limits, whitelists, and single transaction caps as security rules, enabling agents to autonomously call APIs and purchase services within a controlled range.In addition, Cloudflare Wallets will support stablecoin storage, micropayments based on the x402 protocol, and will integrate with Cloudflare's previously launched Monetization Gateway, providing automated trading capabilities for websites and applications aimed at AI Agents.Cloudflare stated that the future internet will gradually form a new "agent economy" driven by AI Agents, where wallets, payments, and identity verification will become key infrastructure. Through the cloudflare.pay identity identifier, AI Agents can obtain a readable identity name, helping merchants identify their associated accounts and organizations while enhancing transaction transparency.Cloudflare claims it will continue to improve the agent commerce ecosystem, providing developers and businesses with the foundational tools to support AI Agents in autonomously purchasing, selling, and interacting, promoting the transition of the internet from a human-oriented service model to an agent-oriented automated market.

Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov stated that Telegram was briefly removed from the App Store by Apple recently due to a user embedding illegal pornographic content in a public group. The app was restored within hours.Durov mentioned that the attackers exploited a technical vulnerability to insert AI-modified illegal content into old messages in active groups, hiding the content by editing historical messages, making it difficult for regular group members to discover and report it in a timely manner. Such attacks are classified as "takedown extortion," where attackers use automated accounts to embed violations in public groups and report them to platforms like Apple, attempting to force group administrators to pay a ransom, or else the community would be banned due to platform rules.Durov further explained that Telegram continuously combats illegal content through user reports, AI filtering, content hashing, and other mechanisms. This incident is not a systemic issue of the platform but rather a targeted attack exploiting rule loopholes by the attackers.He also warned that Apple's direct removal of the app without prior contact with Telegram could pose risks to all mobile applications that provide user-generated content (UGC), and platform developers need to enhance their defenses against malicious reporting and "takedown attacks."

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.

The report shows that 99% of institutions on the European continent and 100% of institutions in the UK expect regulatory policies to support the development of digital assets. Influenced by the clarity of the MiCA regulatory framework, 53% of European institutions have completed funding commitments before 2026, higher than the global average of 42%; in the UK, due to the regulatory framework still being developed, this figure is only 36%, but another 59% of UK institutions plan to complete budget allocations within 2026.In terms of product layout, European institutions lead in tokenized money market funds (62% vs 45%) and tokenized securities; the UK is more aggressive in stablecoin issuance, with 50% of institutions planning to issue stablecoins independently, higher than Europe's 40%. Both major markets list around-the-clock settlement and real-time payments as primary application scenarios.

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.
