On June 24, Cointelegraph reported that Ethereum is embroiled in a heated governance debate regarding the source of core development funding. Last Friday, former Ethereum Foundation contributor Trenton Van Epps warned that as existing support programs dwindle and Foundation expenditures are reduced, the core development ecosystem could face a 'slow-burning funding crisis' within three to nine months, requiring approximately $30 million annually to maintain over a dozen clients, research, and coordination teams. The debate centers around a proposal by Kleros co-founder Clément Lesaege, which suggests redirecting 0% to 10% of validator rewards to an ecosystem fund, estimating that this could generate about 50,000 to 70,000 ETH annually at current staking levels. This proposal has faced widespread opposition, with critics warning that it could entrench the power of large validators and blur the lines between operations and governance. Some community members previously argued that the Foundation has enough funding to operate for 30 years, but actual decisions by the Foundation indicate that it is actively shrinking expenditures and pushing for diversified funding models. This Monday, a non-profit organization called EthLabs, initiated by five former Ethereum Foundation researchers, was announced, aiming to directly fund development through large ETH holders. On Tuesday, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the Foundation is cutting its budget by about 40% according to established policies and has recently laid off 54 employees.

On June 24, SpaceX issued $25 billion in investment-grade bonds, marking the company's final step in replacing high-cost debt. This high-cost debt was used to finance Elon Musk's acquisition of X (formerly Twitter) in 2022, as well as loans and bonds issued by the artificial intelligence lab xAI last year to cover its rapid cash burn. Had these entities not been incorporated into SpaceX, they would have incurred approximately $1.8 billion in interest expenses on a total of $17.5 billion in debt this year. Now, the merged SpaceX will bear an annual interest cost of about $1.5 billion with the initial bond issuance size of $25 billion.

On June 24, Lindsay Rosner, the head of multi-sector investments at Goldman Sachs Asset and Wealth Management, warned that the "likelihood of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates in July is quite high," with a probability of 50%. In a recent interview, she pointed out that the upcoming inflation data, particularly the personal consumption expenditures report, is a key factor that could prompt the Fed to take action. Rosner further noted that the wealth effect from rising stock prices may be reflected in the inflation data, potentially serving as a justification for a rate hike. She highlighted that items in the personal consumption expenditures basket related to artificial intelligence spending, such as software and accessories, are expected to rise in the next report, stating, "The Fed will have to respond to this." As a result, Goldman Sachs has adjusted its internal outlook, pushing back the expected timeline for interest rate cuts to the end of 2027.

On June 24, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent differentiated between maintaining a strong dollar policy and merely focusing on exchange rates. 'When people talk about a strong dollar, I don't think it's just the Bloomberg Dollar Index,' Bessent said in response to questions after a speech at the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday evening. 'I think it means we are taking various measures to lay the groundwork for people to want to come to this country, whether it's tax certainty, regulatory certainty, or energy certainty.' He stated that a strong dollar is not contradictory to a robust manufacturing sector. 'Germany used to be an industrial powerhouse, and they relied on a strong currency'; this made Germany more efficient, innovative, and productive. Regarding the dollar's decline since early last year: 'I don't wake up thinking, great, this is helpful for the economy. I think it's just price fluctuations on the screen.' He noted that currency depreciation in low-cost manufacturing countries could be detrimental to the U.S.; 'I often think this isn't necessarily because of a strong dollar. Maybe—like Southeast Asian countries, because they manage their currencies the most—but it could also just be weakness in other currencies.' (Sina Finance)

On June 24, the Cardano ecosystem project SecondFi announced on social media that the team has identified the root cause of a recent security incident. The issue originated from their own Cardano network wallet generation software. The team has completed on-chain analysis to determine the extent of the impact. They are currently collaborating with a leading blockchain security firm to conduct an independent technical assessment to validate their findings. The estimated overall impact is approximately 16 million ADA, and they are continuing to address related operational issues while committing to support affected users. In this regard, Slow Mist founder Yu Xian stated that based on the funds traced from the hacker's address, the theoretical losses for SecondFi users should exceed $20 million (with over 129 million ADA and other tokens stolen).
