Jun 24: Ethereum Foundation Cuts 20% of Staff, US Senate Approves Four-Year Fed CBDC Ban

Market Snapshot

Bitcoin (BTC): $63,022 (-1.77% 24h)  |  Ethereum (ETH): $1,671.51 (-3.45% 24h)  |  Solana (SOL): $70.01 (-2.62% 24h)

Top Stories

Key Takeaways

  • Major crypto organizations are restructuring for efficiency, with the Ethereum Foundation cutting both staff and budget after a year-long overhaul.
  • US policymakers are drawing a sharp line between stablecoins and state-issued digital currencies, with a four-year Fed CBDC ban passing by a wide margin.
  • Crypto markets remain highly sensitive to leverage and macro shocks, as evidenced by $170M in ETH liquidations and BTC's vulnerability to global equity sell-offs.
  • AI competition is increasingly shaped by regulatory interventions, not just technical merit, as seen in the OpenAI-Anthropic cybersecurity rivalry.

What to Watch

All eyes are on Thursday's US PCE inflation data and Friday's $10.6 billion Bitcoin options expiry—both could drive significant volatility. In AI, the industry is awaiting any timeline for Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models to return online, which could quickly alter the competitive balance in cybersecurity benchmarks.
