πΊπΈ US Senate Bans CBDC for Four Years
The US Senate passed a housing bill with an 85-5 vote that includes a four-year ban on the Federal Reserve issuing a digital dollar. The law prohibits the Fed from creating CBDCs or similar digital assets, either directly or through intermediaries, until the end of 2030.
Fed Chair Kevin Warsh called CBDCs a "bad political decision" during his confirmation hearings. Trump signed an executive order banning CBDCs back in January of this year.

π Ethereum Foundation to Cut Budget by 40%
Vitalik Buterin announced that the Ethereum Foundation will reduce its budget by approximately 40% this year. The plan includes shutting down the Privacy and Scaling Explorations (PSE) unit and narrowing its institutional strategy.
The foundation will also hold smaller, less expensive Devcon conferences and focus on specialized developer teams using AI for formal code verification. Currently, it spends about 15% of its reserves annually but aims to cut this to 5% per year after 2030.

Citadel fueled fears that the Fed could raise interest rates, accelerating the selloff in AI stocks and scooping up much of Leopold Aschenbrenner's portfolio near the lows.
The AI-focused hedge fund, Situational Awareness, went bankrupt and sold all assets.
Once valued near $45 billion, it suffered heavy losses from falling AI infrastructure stocks, including SK Hynix.
Ashenbrenner launched the fund after leaving OpenAI in 2024 and gained fame for early strong results.
By Q1 2026, top holdings were Nebius Group, Sandisk, Micron, and CoreWeave, all down over 30% this month.
