‘Unbounding of EF continues’ — Bitmine backs ETHSystem to advance Ethereum privacy

A new Ethereum-focused non-profit, ETHSystems, has been launched to advance privacy and confidential systems on the network, with backing from Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Sharplink, and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin. Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee emphasized that institutional adoption requires privacy, viewing Ethereum as a settlement layer for confidential systems. This marks the third such non-profit supported by Bitmine as the Ethereum Foundation (EF) scales down its role, a trend some analysts describe as the "unbundling" of the EF. While these new entities are staffed by former EF members, Bitmine's central financing role raises questions about decentralization. The article also discusses whether Ethereum could surpass Bitcoin in market dominance, citing growing stablecoin adoption and institutional interest as key factors, though long-term trends remain uncertain.

Former Ethereum Foundation enterprise team launches Ethereum Institutional

Former Ethereum Foundation enterprise team members have launched Ethereum Institutional, an independent non-profit organization aimed at accelerating institutional adoption of Ethereum, its Layer 2 networks, applications, and broader ecosystem. It will serve as a neutral point of contact, offering financial institutions technical guidance, ecosystem intelligence, and engagement support for long-term infrastructure decisions involving tokenization, stablecoins, and on-chain finance. The founding team, which previously built the Ethereum Foundation's enterprise engagement function, will scale its work through five core areas: Institutional Engagement, Institutional Intelligence, Ethereum Ecosystem and ETH Marketing, Industry Discovery and Requirements, and Events and Convenings. The non-profit is backed by anchor funders Bitmine, SharpLink, and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin. This launch follows recent Ethereum ecosystem developments, including the Ethereum Foundation's organizational restructuring and the creation of Ethlabs, an independent R&D organization. These initiatives reflect a broader strategy to support specialized, independent organizations that advance Ethereum's long-term adoption.

Altman Drops Bombshell While Musk is Away: He Once Wanted His Children to Inherit OpenAI

In a California court, Sam Altman testified for the first time in the ongoing legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI. Altman made a striking claim: Musk once suggested that control of OpenAI could one day be passed down to his children. This statement reframes the long-standing conflict not as a simple governance dispute but as a foundational power struggle. Altman sought to counter the narrative that OpenAI betrayed its original non-profit, idealistic mission. He argued that from the beginning, it was Musk who sought increasing control over the organization, including a larger equity stake and ultimate decision-making authority. Altman opposed this, citing OpenAI's core principle that AGI should not be controlled by any single individual. He also addressed the key point of contention about OpenAI's shift to a for-profit structure, claiming Musk was aware of and initially supportive of exploring such a model to secure the massive funding needed for advanced AI research. Altman framed the change as a practical necessity, not a betrayal. Further testimony revealed internal concerns after Musk left OpenAI's board, with worries he might take retaliatory action. Altman critiqued Musk's management style as unsuitable for a research lab, damaging morale and culture. Throughout his testimony, Altman's focus appeared to shift from technological idealism to the realities of organizational governance and resource requirements. Regarding his brief ouster in 2023, Altman stated he seriously considered joining Microsoft but ultimately returned because OpenAI was too important to abandon.

Report Exposes Ripple Founder Larsen’s Hidden XRP Treasury Influence

A Protos report reveals that Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen exerts significant influence over Evernorth, a company planning a Nasdaq listing. Through RippleWorks—a nonprofit he co-founded—Larsen controls a majority stake in Arrington XRP Capital Fund, which is contractually obligated to consult RippleWorks on Evernorth-related decisions. Additional XRP contributions from a family trust and Ripple itself further consolidate his influence. SEC filings highlight clear conflicts of interest, as Larsen’s roles at Ripple and RippleWorks may not align with public shareholders' interests. The deal structure also allows Larsen-linked entities to benefit from XRP price increases, while public investors face governance risks.

Vitalik Buterin’s SHIB Gift Backfires? Warns Of “Authoritarian” AI Push From A Nonprofit

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has publicly distanced himself from the Future of Life Institute (FLI), an AI-safety nonprofit he supported in 2021 with a substantial SHIB token donation. Buterin clarified that FLI initially presented a broad roadmap focused on reducing existential risks from AI, bio, and nuclear threats with a pro-science, pro-peace approach. However, he now criticizes the organization for pivoting toward large-scale political advocacy, which he views as authoritarian and fragile. Buterin expressed concern that FLI’s current approach—such as pushing for restrictive AI safeguards and potential open-source bans—could backfire and lead to centralized control. Despite disagreements, he acknowledged alignment with FLI’s recent "Pro-human AI declaration." The situation highlights broader concerns about crypto-funded philanthropy, transparency, and the unintended consequences of large donations influencing AI governance.

Governance Deadlock Triggers 'Defection': Zcash Core Team Collectively Departs to Start New Venture

In early 2026, Zcash’s core development team, the Electric Coin Company (ECC), collectively resigned following a governance crisis with Bootstrap, the nonprofit overseeing Zcash’s development. ECC CEO Josh Swihart described the departure as a “constructive discharge,” accusing Bootstrap of creating an unworkable environment and deviating from Zcash’s mission. The conflict centered on the proposed privatization of Zashi, Zcash’s flagship mobile wallet. ECC advocated for a commercial approach to accelerate development, while Bootstrap, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, opposed it due to legal risks and fiduciary obligations to protect public assets. The former ECC team announced a new company and a replacement wallet named cashZ, pledging to continue Zcash protocol development without issuing a new token. They aim to uphold Zcash’s privacy-focused ethos under a more flexible commercial structure. Zcash co-founder Zooko Wilcox remained neutral, while the Zcash Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to the protocol’s decentralization, assuring users that network integrity remains unaffected. The incident highlights ongoing tension between nonprofit governance and commercial innovation in crypto.
