SharpLink Opposes Ethereum's Plan to Reduce Staking Yields to Zero

SharpLink CEO Joseph Shalom opposes an Ethereum proposal (EIP-8361) that could phase out new ETH issuance rewards for validators. He warns this would reduce Ethereum's staking yield to near zero, weakening its institutional appeal against assets like Bitcoin and increasing capital costs across DeFi. Currently, transaction fees constitute only about 15% of validator rewards, making them heavily reliant on issuance. Shalom argues the native yield is a key economic advantage, supporting over $35 billion in liquid staking products. EIP-8361 proposes a transition over ~18 months, gradually burning issuance rewards as staked ETH increases, reaching 100% burn at ~60.25 million ETH staked. Authors argue current issuance incentivizes excessive staking with limited security benefits. The proposal remains a draft, with debate ongoing. At publication, ETH traded around $1,916 with no direct price impact from the criticism.

Should Ethereum's Staking Rate Be Capped? EIP-8363 Proposal Ignites Heated Debate

The Ethereum community is currently engaged in intense debate over EIP-8363, a proposal aiming to cap the network's staking ratio. With the ETH staking rate exceeding 33% and rising, concerns have grown about potential centralization if a few large entities control most staked ETH and about perpetual dilution for non-stakers. The "diminishing issuance burn" mechanism of EIP-8363 would progressively burn an increasing portion of validator rewards as the total staked ETH approaches roughly 50% of the supply. At that threshold, new consensus issuance would effectively stop, leaving validators to earn solely from transaction fees and MEV until the staking ratio falls back below 50%. Proponents argue this protects ETH's monetary properties by limiting dilution and establishing a firmer supply cap, while also disincentivizing excessive growth by large stakers first. Critics, however, warn the proposal threatens DeFi vitality by destabilizing the staking yield which serves as a benchmark rate for lending and other protocols. They also argue it could make independent, home staking economically unviable as fixed costs remain while rewards shrink, potentially increasing centralization as MEV becomes a larger portion of validator income. Some suggest the proposal's economic rationale needs refinement. The proposal's procedural status for inclusion in a future upgrade is pending. Regardless of the immediate outcome, the debate centers on whether Ethereum currently overpays for security and if implementing such a cap is worth the potential disruption.

CoinShares Analysts Record RWA Growth Amid DeFi Downturn

Analysts from CoinShares and Token Terminal report significant growth in real-world asset (RWA) activity within decentralized finance (DeFi) from Q2 2025 to Q2 2026, contrasting with a broader DeFi downturn. The volume of RWAs on credit platforms and decentralized exchanges surged to $7.4 billion from $2.3 billion a year prior, while overall DeFi deposits fell by approximately 15%. This divergence suggests demand is driven by the financial utility of assets, not just market cycles. Income-generating RWAs, such as tokenized treasury funds (e.g., JTRSY, BUIDL), private credit products (e.g., JAAA), and yield-bearing stablecoins (e.g., sUSDS, sUSDe), now constitute about 6% of all DeFi deposits, up from 1.7%. Their appeal lies in continuing to generate yield even when used as collateral. Most RWA deposits are on Ethereum-based platforms. Spot trading volume for RWAs on DEXs grew 220% year-over-year, albeit from a small base, reaching about $6.3 billion (less than 2% of total DEX spot volume). Trading was concentrated in tokenized gold (XAUT, PAXG) and sUSDe. Perpetual futures trading for traditional assets exceeded $200 billion, nearing 32% of the total perpetuals market, with platforms like Hyperliquid's tradeXYZ seeing 20x growth. Despite this expansion, RWA growth has not yet offset declining revenues from crypto-native trading and lending in DeFi. The segment remains early-stage; for instance, the $2.2 billion market cap of tokenized equities is minuscule compared to the global equities market. Analysts compare its current phase to stablecoins in 2019.

Opinion: EIP-8361 is a Meaningless and Counterproductive 'Helping Hand'—Ethereum Should Not Cut Off Its Own Arms

Author: 0xTodd Discussion of the EIP-8361 proposal submitted by Ethereum France (organizer of ETHCC, considered a core Ethereum organization). In essence, this proposal aims to drastically reduce the APR for ETH staking. If the staking rate exceeds 50%, it would slash the yield to 0%. The author evaluates this as a meaningless and counterproductive proposal. The principle is that a functioning system should not be altered lightly, and Ethereum currently operates well. Based on the author's extensive experience with Ethereum staking, the current staking yield is only about 2.4%, less competitive than half the yield of U.S. Treasury bonds. For individual散户 stakers, solo staking收益 barely covers costs, resulting in minimal profit or even a slight loss, sustained mainly by dedicated supporters. Implementing EIP-8361 would push solo stakers into an untenable position, while large institutional stakers with fixed server costs would be less affected. Solo stakers are crucial for maintaining the decentralization of the Ethereum ledger. Regarding concerns about validator churn rates, the issue has already improved post the large-node era (2048 ETH), and adjusting the churn rate parameter is a low-risk, simple change. In contrast, slashing staking yields requires a hard fork,涉及 the core interests of ETH and could potentially lead to a new token split. For Ethereum in its current volatile state, this carries excessively high risk. The proposal is deemed毫无意义.

RWAs buck DeFi slowdown as tokenized assets gain traction: CoinShares

Despite a broader slowdown in decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are gaining significant traction, with deposits on DeFi platforms more than tripling year-over-year to $7.4 billion in Q2 2026, according to a CoinShares and Token Terminal report. This growth, occurring while overall DeFi deposits fell 15%, suggests demand is driven by financial utility rather than market cycles. Yield-bearing stablecoins and tokenized Treasuries like BlackRock's BUIDL fund are leading RWA deposits, offering yields from 3.2% to 5.5%. Gold-backed tokens and yield-bearing dollar products drove most RWA spot trading on decentralized exchanges, with volumes rising 220% year-over-year against a 70% overall DEX decline. RWA activity is also expanding into leveraged derivatives markets, with perpetual futures trading growing, particularly for commodities, equity indexes, and tech stocks.

Ethereum Community in Uproar! Whose Cake is EIP-8363 Cutting Into?

**Ethereum Community Debates Controversial Staking Proposal EIP-8363** A new Ethereum proposal, EIP-8363, dubbed "Tapered Issuance Burn," has ignited heated debate within the community. The core idea is to reduce and eventually eliminate new issuance rewards for validators as the total amount of staked ETH approaches 50% of the total supply (around 60.25 million ETH). The authors, including EthCC founder Jérôme de Tychey and Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, argue the current system perpetually incentivizes more staking, potentially leading to centralization as stake flows to large custodians and liquid staking tokens (LSTs). They also aim to reduce dilution pressure on non-staking ETH holders. Under the proposal, validator rewards from consensus-layer issuance would be partially burned based on a formula tied to the total staked amount. Net rewards would gradually approach zero as staking nears the 50% threshold. Notably, execution-layer rewards (tips, MEV) are unaffected. A proposed 18-month transition period would soften the initial impact. The community reaction has been predominantly critical. Key concerns include: * **Centralization Risk:** Critics like Obol's Oisín Kyne argue very low rewards could drive out solo stakers and smaller operators, leaving only large, cost-insensitive institutions, thus increasing validator centralization. * **Ecosystem Impact:** Aave's Stani Kulechov warns it could hurt ETH's predictable yield appeal for institutions and compress yields for LST-based DeFi strategies (e.g., recursive lending). * **Process & Timing:** Some, like ether.fi's Mike Silagadze, criticize the proposal's late submission ahead of a key upgrade deadline, limiting discussion time. Supporters believe the change is necessary to maintain ETH as a neutral reserve asset and avoid excessive security costs and holder dilution. If implemented, solo stakers would face higher relative operational costs and longer recovery times from penalties. LST yields would converge with native ETH, challenging their value proposition. The entire DeFi interest rate ecosystem, built around staking yield, could be pressured. While all ETH holders would benefit from reduced dilution, the net effect on ETH's price and adoption remains uncertain due to potential demand-side impacts from lower yields. The proposal is currently an early-stage draft and has not been officially slated for inclusion in any upcoming network upgrade.

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin Halved, My Digital Credit is Making Money

Michael Saylor discusses Bitcoin, digital credit, and corporate treasury strategies in a recent roundtable. He explains that while Bitcoin remains "digital capital" with no counterparty risk, its ~40% annual volatility makes it unsuitable for most institutional and retail capital. To attract this capital, he advocates for Bitcoin-backed "digital credit" and "digital currency" products. These offer low volatility against fiat currencies, generate yield, and compete with traditional money market funds, stablecoins, and other yield-bearing crypto assets. Saylor clarifies that these products are not meant to replace direct Bitcoin ownership but to onboard capital that otherwise wouldn't enter the Bitcoin ecosystem. He provides examples: during a period when Bitcoin fell 50%, his company's digital credit products (STRC, SATA) delivered positive returns of 3-4%, demonstrating their ability to strip out ~90% of Bitcoin's volatility. He frames "digital currency" as a fiat-referenced, yield-bearing, stable-value asset backed by Bitcoin, designed to meet the needs of the global capital pool. This approach, he argues, can expand the Bitcoin network's reach by 10x to 100x more effectively than pure education. The discussion also covers corporate finance for Bitcoin treasury companies. Saylor argues that equity issuance is not inherently dilutive if done above net asset value per share and if the acquired asset (Bitcoin or cash) supports future value creation. He distinguishes between debt with maturity dates and hybrid capital like preferred shares (e.g., STRC), which offer issuer options and do not force liquidation. Evaluating these companies requires modeling based on future Bitcoin price and volatility assumptions, not relying on a single metric like mNAV (market-adjusted net asset value). The business models are still evolving, and investors must analyze full disclosures to form a complete view.

Trading Volume Increased by 2.5x, Why Did Circle's Revenue Only Grow by 7%?

Circle's Q2 performance presents a seemingly contradictory picture: the transaction volume of its stablecoin USDC surged 151% year-over-year to $14.8 trillion, while its "Total Revenue & Reserve Revenue" grew by only 7% to $701 million. This discrepancy highlights the core of Circle's business model. Revenue is primarily driven not by transaction volume, but by the average amount of USDC in circulation and the yield generated from its reserves. Key points: 1. **Revenue Drivers:** Over 90% of revenue comes from "reserve income," which is a function of average USDC circulation (up 25% YoY) and the reserve yield (which fell by 66 basis points). The net effect was a mere ~5% increase in reserve income. 2. **Transaction vs. Revenue:** High transaction volume indicates robust usage of USDC for payments and settlements, but does not translate directly to revenue. It must first convert into a sustained, average circulating balance. 3. **Cost Structure:** After accounting for distribution and other costs, the metric "Revenue Less Direct Costs" (RLDC) grew faster than total revenue, with its margin improving. However, rising operating expenses (up 23% YoY) meant that Adjusted EBITDA growth was limited to 8%. 4. **New Initiatives:** Circle reported progress on new networks like the Circle Payments Network and upcoming products (Arc, Agent Stack), but these are currently measured by adoption metrics (e.g., transaction run-rate, number of services) rather than material revenue contribution this quarter. In summary, the financial results are determined by the interplay of USDC circulation, reserve yields, and cost structures, while high transaction volume signals underlying network strength that has not yet fully flowed through to the income statement.

BTC Price Reaches $64,360, but Bitfinex Warns of Downside Risks

Bitcoin's price fluctuated between $63,300 and $64,300 on Tuesday amid news that the U.S. Senate might vote on the CLARITY Act this week. Despite briefly dipping to $63,000 on August 3rd, the cryptocurrency largely held above this key level, finding support above $63,500 for most of the period. It ultimately reached a daily peak of $64,360, leading to a 0.8% gain and a market cap of $1.29 trillion. The price movement caused significant liquidations in the derivatives market, with short positions accounting for $35 million of the $42 million liquidated in 24 hours. However, the likelihood of the CLARITY Act passing in 2026, as per Polymarket, fell to 25%. Analysts at Bitfinex warn of downside risks, noting that two daily closes below $63,000 would officially trigger a bearish signal. They emphasize that Bitcoin's near-term direction will depend less on crypto-specific news and more on broader macroeconomic conditions, particularly real yields (returns adjusted for inflation) and its ability to hold within the $62,000–$65,000 support range. Current pressure from the bond and equity markets is adding to BTC's challenges.

The Ethereum Community Is in an Uproar! Who Stands to Lose with EIP-8363?

The Ethereum community is deeply divided over the controversial EIP-8363 proposal, which aims to introduce a "tapered issuance burn" to curb the growth of ETH staking. Authored by researchers including Jérôme de Tychey and Justin Drake, the proposal would gradually reduce and eventually eliminate the consensus-layer issuance rewards for validators when the total staked ETH approaches 50% of the total supply (approximately 60.25 million ETH). This is intended to discourage excessive staking concentration among large institutional providers and reduce the dilution pressure on non-staking ETH holders, potentially strengthening native ETH as a neutral asset. Currently, even at 100% staking, validators have a theoretical minimum reward of about 1.5%. EIP-8363 would implement a burn mechanism based on the staking ratio, making net consensus rewards approach zero at the 50% threshold, though execution-layer rewards (priority fees, MEV) remain unaffected. At the current ~33% staking ratio, annual consensus yield would drop from ~2.6% to ~1.2%. An 18-month transition period is proposed to soften the impact. The community reaction has been largely negative. Critics, including Aave founder Stani Kulechov and ether.fi CEO Mike Silagadze, argue it undermines predictable cash flows for institutional investors, hurts solo stakers by making their operations less viable against fixed costs, and could destabilize the DeFi ecosystem built around Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs). They also fear it could lead to further centralization, as low rewards might push out small validators while large, cost-insensitive entities remain. Supporters counter that it addresses long-term security and dilution concerns. The proposal is currently an early-stage Core EIP draft under review and has not yet been officially included in the upcoming Hegotá upgrade. The debate highlights a fundamental tension within Ethereum: balancing ETH's roles as a yield-generating "internet bond" versus a neutral store of value.
