Is Ethereum in trouble as Samson Mow says he feels sorry for ETH?

That weakness has fed a wider debate about whether Ethereums scaling path has helped the network or reduced demand for its base layer. Layer-2 networks have made transactions cheaper, but they have also moved user activity away from Ethereum mainnet fees.　　Layer-2 growth raises base-layer questions　　Ethereums rollup strategy helped the network handle more transactions through Layer-2 platforms such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. That approach lowered user costs and improved access.　　However, critics argue that the same model can reduce direct fee demand for Ethereums base layer. When activity moves to separate rollups, value can become spread across many networks instead of staying concentrated on mainnet.　　Concerns also remain around centralized sequencers and large staking pools. These issues have kept the decentralization debate active, even as Ethereum developers continue to push technical upgrades.　　Mow‘s criticism fits that wider debate. His post did not present a detailed technical review, but it added attention to Ethereum’s current mix of weak price action, reduced relative strength, and structural questions.　　BitMine and ETH treasury losses add pressure　　Related market updates show that Ethereum treasury holders have also faced pressure. Crypto.news reported that BitMines ETH holdings crossed 5,078,386 ETH on April 27, after the firm bought the tokens at an average

Vitalik Buterin Says Ethereum Foundation Is Not ETH’s Central Authority

Vitalik Buterin said the Ethereum Foundation is not Ethereums central authority.The foundation is reducing its scope and focusing only on Ethereums core infrastructure.Several senior Ethereum researchers and developers have exited during the restructuring.　　The Ethereum Foundation is moving toward a smaller role inside the Ethereum ecosystem, according to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.　　Buterin said the foundation should not operate like Ethereums headquarters. He described it as one “node” inside a larger network of developers, researchers, companies, and independent groups building around ETH.　　The comments arrive during a major internal transition at the foundation. Several high-profile researchers and developers have left in recent months, including Carl Beek, Julian Ma, Barnabé Monnot, Tim Beiko, Trent Van Epps, and Alex Stokes.　　The exits raised concerns across the market about whether Ethereum can maintain upgrade speed while reducing the foundations influence.　　Buterin said the restructuring is designed to reduce dependence on any single person or organization, including himself.　　Foundation Cuts Its Scope　　Buterin confirmed that the foundations board is expanding and that Bastian Aue is leading much of the transition work. He also stated that his own influence inside the organization will continue to decrease over time.　　The foundation is moving away from broad ecosystem management. Instead, it plans to focus only

Vitalik’s smaller Ethereum Foundation tests ETH holders’ demand for execution

With at least nine senior Ethereum Foundation (EF) members having left in 2026 and years of community frustration over EF-linked ETH sales, Vitalik Buterin posted his perspective on the Foundations direction.　　For Buterin, the EF should become smaller, more opinionated, and less central to Ethereums future.　　He said this reflects his view alone and that the board is expanding while his own power within the organization continues to decrease, which he described as what he wants.　　The dispute now centers on Ethereum Foundation ETH sales, treasury discipline, and whether outside groups can take over the growth functions holders want EF to own.　　That framing puts Buterin directly at odds with a vocal segment of ETH holders who want the Foundation to behave more like a growth-oriented institution, competing harder against Solana, building the ETH-as-asset narrative, coordinating business development, and stepping up execution.QuestionETH-holder demandVitaliks answerWhat should EF be？Growth-oriented institutionOne node among manyWhat should EF optimize for？ETH value, adoption, executionCROPS: censorship resistance, open source, privacy, securityWhat should EF do with ETH？Stop or reduce sellingSell less by becoming narrowerWho handles BD and asset narrative？EF should coordinate itOutside organizations should step inWhat is the risk？Ethereum under-competesEthereum becomes too centralized if EF does too much　　He describes EF as “one

Could BitMine’s Russell 1000 nod trigger an Ethereum treasury rally?

BitMine Immersion Technologies has appeared on the preliminary list for Russell 1000 inclusion, according to Fundstrats Tom Lee. BitMine made Russell 1000 preliminary list, raising passive-flow hopes for Ethereum treasury-linked BMNR shares now.Crypto.news reported BitMine holds 5.28 million ETH after adding 71,672 tokens in one week recently.FTSE Russell says reconstituted indexes take effect after market close on June 26, 2026 officially.　　The move has drawn attention because BMNR is one of the largest public Ethereum treasury plays.　　Lee said FTSE Russell published its preliminary index additions and deletions on May 23. He added that BitMine‘s market value was above the roughly $5.7 billion minimum for large-cap inclusion. Current market data places BMNR’s market capitalization near $8.58 billion.　　FTSE Russell published their preliminary index inclusions and deletions　　– Bitmine is on this list for inclusion for large-cap Russell 1000　　– $BMNR market cap above the minimum $5.7B for large-cap inclusion　　BitMine enters Russell 1000 watch　　FTSE Russell started its June 2026 semi-annual Russell U.S. Indexes Reconstitution by publishing preliminary lists of companies expected to enter or exit the Russell 3000 and Russell Microcap indexes.

XRP Price Prediction as CME Launches 24/7 XRP Futures Trading on May 29

Tech　　XRP Price Prediction as CME Launches 24/7 XRP Futures Trading on May 29　　XRP price has dropped by 0.41% today, May 25, to trade at $1.35 at the time of writing, with trading volumes of $1.33 billion. XRP could become more volatile this week and possibly move past the resistance at $1.48 because the CME is launching 24/7 futures trading for the Ripple token. The launch will make it possible for institutions to trade XRP when stock markets are closed, even on the weekends.　　CME to Launch 24/7 XRP Futures Trading on May 29　　CME released a statement in February saying that crypto futures and options are going to be available on the platform 24 hours a day and seven days a week. It is doing this will ensure that institutions can keep up with the crypto market even when the traditional financial market is not open.　　This 24/7 trading launch is also going to remove the CME gap that is created when the market is closed on Friday at a particular price and then opens on Monday at a different price. XRP value and other cryptos usually move towards this Fridays price on Monday.　　XRP will likely go up because of this 24/7 futures

Will Solana price drop under $80 as a risky pattern emerges?

The neckline support for the structure sits near the $78 level, which has repeatedly acted as a key defensive area since March. A confirmed breakdown below that region could validate the bearish pattern and potentially open the door for a larger move toward the low-$70 range.　　Pattern projections derived from the height of the structure suggest downside targets could extend toward $64 if panic selling accelerates.　　Alongside the double-top formation, Solana remains below its Supertrend resistance near $94.80, indicating that sellers continue controlling the higher timeframe trend. Daily candles have also struggled to close above the descending resistance band formed after the late-April rejection, keeping bullish momentum suppressed.　　Momentum indicators remain mixed but continue to favor bears overall. The Aroon indicator shows Aroon Up near 85.7% while Aroon Down remains near zero, signaling that short-term rebounds are still occurring. However, the indicator has historically produced several failed bullish signals during Solanas prolonged consolidation phase this year, limiting confidence in a sustained recovery attempt.　　CoinGlass liquidation heatmap data shows dense leverage clusters concentrated between $83 and $81, with another major liquidity pocket sitting near $78. Those zones could become magnets for price action if volatility increases during the coming sessions.　　Solana liquidation heatmap — May 25

XRP News: PlayStation is NOT Integrating Ripple XRP

Tech　　XRP News: PlayStation is NOT Integrating Ripple XRP　　PlayStation is not integrating XRP, and there is no partnership between Sony and Ripple in any corporate filing, press release, or regulatory disclosure reviewed for this article.　　The claim, which has circulated with renewed intensity across crypto social media, centers on the term ‘North Star,’ which Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has used publicly to describe the companys internal strategic direction, not a product code name or a consumer-brand integration roadmap.　　#Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse Reaffirms $XRP Is Key: “All Roads Lead Back to Ripples North Star, XRP”.　　Garlinghouse has again emphasized the central role of XRP to the vision and direction of the Ripple ecosystem.　　He reaffirmed Ripples north star as XRP in reaction to a… pic.twitter.com/G6L2N2C1Ov　　— TheCryptoBasic (@thecryptobasic) April 29, 2026　　This is not simply a viral rumor. It is a structural misreading of corporate strategy language, and the misreading follows a pattern that has produced phantom Sony, Amazon, and Apple partnerships for XRP at regular intervals since at least 2021.　　We suspect the confusion persists because Garlinghouse‘s rhetoric is genuinely expansive; ’all roads lead back to XRP is a statement about ecosystem design philosophy, not a disclosure, and XRP communities have developed a reading practice that treats

Zcash (ZEC) Isnt So Private? Arkham Reveals Ability to Track Transactions

In reality, the shielded pool is never reached by the majority of Zcash activity. For regulatory and compliance reasons, transparent addresses are strongly preferred by exchanges, custodians, and institutional players. This makes entry and exit points visible throughout the network, which is exactly the data that blockchain intelligence companies take advantage of.　　According to Arkham, shielded addresses are still opaque and only show up as SHIELDED, but the surrounding flows frequently reveal enough metadata to track user behavior in any case.　　The report even focuses on U.S. governance. Zcash allegedly found in one tracked wallet was taken from Alexandre Cazes, 26 year-old Canadian whos believed to be the person behind dark web marketplace AlphaWeb, following his 2017 arrest. Additionally, Arkham identified a specific trader who allegedly transferred money to Gemini weeks later, turning a $4.49 million ZEC purchase into a $6.6 million profit.　　This does not imply that Zcash privacy is compromised. Pure shielded transactions continue to be cryptographically concealed. However, Arkhams analysis reminds us of a simple rule: privacy is more dependent on how users actually use the protocol than it is on the protocol itself.
