Aave Founder Strongly Opposes Proposed Ethereum Changes: 'This Could Cause Significant Harm'

The founder and CEO of Aave, Stani Kulechov, has strongly opposed a proposed Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) aimed at capping staking rewards. The proposal suggests reducing staking yield to 0% if the staked ETH supply exceeds 50% of the total. Kulechov argues this would make yields unpredictable and unprofitable, damaging Ethereum's ecosystem and ETH's appeal as an investment asset. He warns that institutional investors, who value predictable cash flows, may turn to alternative blockchains offering more stable returns. Furthermore, zero staking rewards would render many ETH-based lending and yield strategies ineffective, potentially shrinking Ethereum's lending markets. Kulechov believes this proposal could weaken ETH's long-term viability and cause market participants to shift focus to other networks. He urges careful consideration of any changes to Ethereum's economic incentives, emphasizing that the network should not be penalized for its success.

Bitdeer Mining Company's Stock Surges Over 12% Amid $4.7 Billion Deal

Bitdeer's stock surged over 12% after the crypto miner announced a major $4.7 billion deal. The company signed a 16-year agreement to lease part of its data center in Tydal, Norway, to Volta Tydal AS. The 180 MW facility, originally for crypto mining, is being repurposed for the AI sector. Bitdeer's subsidiary, Tydal Data Center AS, will provide 121 MW of power from the site's total 133 MW capacity, with the remainder to be leased later. The deal includes an option for an 8-year extension, potentially generating $8 billion in total revenue for Bitdeer over 24 years. All 121 MW of computing power will be configured with Nvidia GPUs for a "leading AI lab." Bloomberg reports this lab is Anthropic, which has a separate $10 billion agreement with Volta Infra Holdings Ltd, Volta Tydal AS's parent company. Essentially, Bitdeer leased the space to Volta, which will manage the Nvidia chip infrastructure for end-user Anthropic. Following the news, Bitdeer's share price jumped from $11.2 to $12.6. Like other major miners, Bitdeer is aggressively expanding into AI, a sector now seen as more profitable for its energy-intensive computing infrastructure.

French Company Sequans Continues to Reduce Its Position in BTC, Reinvesting in IoT

French semiconductor company Sequans Communications (NYSE: SQNS) significantly reduced its Bitcoin holdings in Q2 2026, selling 1,200 BTC to pay off convertible debt. Its remaining holdings fell to 314 BTC, valued at approximately $20 million. This strategic shift marks a retreat from its Bitcoin investment strategy initiated in July 2025, which once saw holdings peak above 3,300 coins. CEO Georges Karam refocused the company on its core IoT semiconductor business. In Q2, Sequans recorded a net profit of $5.3 million from these Bitcoin sales, a reversal from an $11.7 million loss in the previous quarter. The company's IoT business showed revenue growth of 23.2% sequentially, reaching $7.5 million. Excluding one-time payments from the prior year, revenue grew 84.2% year-over-year. Sequans ended the quarter debt-free with $21 million in cash. The company joins other firms like Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms in reducing Bitcoin assets recently.

Coldcard Company Publishes New Statement Regarding Large-Scale Bitcoin Hack!

Hardware wallet maker Coldcard has issued a new high-priority security warning, stating that a cryptographic threat affecting its users is far from over. The company advises all users to transfer their bitcoin to new wallets and generate entirely new recovery seed phrases. Coldcard reports a persisting risk linked to a vulnerability in the key generation system, which has led to approximately $40 million in losses. Users are recommended to update firmware and discontinue using addresses generated via outdated methods to prevent unauthorized asset transfers. The company also refuted claims that the current firmware permanently bricks Coldcard devices. In the event of a temporary random number generator (TRNG) error, fully powering off and restarting the device should resolve the issue under normal hardware conditions. Developers stated there is no evidence the current patch permanently disables the hardware. Developers are working on a new patch to make the TRNG recovery process after an error more secure. The planned update will follow the manufacturer's documented recovery procedure and include additional safety measures. Support for Coldcard Mk3 devices will be implemented in a separate software update.

Wells Fargo Joins Major US Banks in Creating Tokenized Deposit Network by 2027

Wells Fargo has joined major U.S. banks including JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Citigroup in a consortium to launch a shared network for tokenized deposits by the first half of 2027. The system, to be operated by The Clearing House, will enable the 24/7 exchange of digital versions of customer deposits on a blockchain platform. The initiative aims to provide instantaneous settlement, moving beyond traditional banking hours, with initial users expected to be large multinational corporations benefiting from enhanced liquidity for cross-border payments. While a specific blockchain partner has not yet been chosen, the network is seen as a way for banks to offer the speed and programmability of blockchain without ceding clients to crypto-native competitors. This move builds on existing bank projects, such as Wells Fargo's earlier pilot of a digital cash platform and JPMorgan's institutional tokenized deposit on Ethereum's Base network. It also comes amidst the growth of the stablecoin market and pending U.S. legislation that could allow stablecoin issuers to pay interest, posing potential competition to traditional bank deposits. Bank executives note that while customer demand for tokenized deposits is not yet overwhelming, the network prepares the industry for future adoption. The shared infrastructure, as opposed to individual bank systems, is intended to spread the benefits across the broader banking ecosystem.
