In a move that could fundamentally reshape Ethereum’s economic landscape, the Ethereum Foundation has unveiled a groundbreaking proposal to capture and burn all Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) revenue. This Ethereum MEV burn mechanism, dubbed “Execution Tickets,” represents a pivotal shift in how the network manages value extraction during block production. Reported initially by Foresight News, the proposal aims to transfer MEV profits from validators to the protocol itself for permanent removal from circulation. Consequently, this initiative forms a core component of ‘The Scourge,’ a dedicated phase within Ethereum’s ongoing roadmap targeting systemic centralization risks. The potential implications for $ETH’s supply,…

(KRAKU), a blank check company backed by U.S. crypto exchange Kraken. The company, a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) sponsored by Kraken with venture firms Natural Capital and Tribe Capital, closed its $345 million IPO in January, and is now ready to explore deals with crypto-native firms valued between $2 billion and $10 billion, Tanuku said in an interview.

For over a year now, the White House has made strong efforts to court the crypto industry, rolling out permissive regulations that have turbocharged the sector’s integration with the U.S. economy. But there’s one issue that still keeps some crypto industry leaders up at night, despite the Donald Trump administration’s many promises on the subject: protections for software developers. Last year, the Trump Justice Department made multiple commitments to stop prosecuting the developers of crypto privacy software—the types of tools used to keep crypto transactions anonymous. And yet, months later, federal prosecutors sent two Bitcoin developers to prison for creating…

World Liberty Financial ($WLFI) has released AgentPay SDK v0.2.1, an update that extends its open-source AI agent payment toolkit to support x402 and MPP (Machine Payment Protocol) HTTP payment flows, while also expanding EIP-3009 signing support and adding Tempo mainnet compatibility. What Is AgentPay SDK? Think of AgentPay SDK as a wallet and payment system built specifically for AI agents, not humans. When an AI agent is running a task, it often needs to pay for things along the way: pulling data from a paid API, accessing a service, or completing a machine-to-machine transaction. Without a purpose-built payment layer, that…

Gnosis’ push behind the Ethereum Economic Zone shows DAOs moving from tuning parameters to voting on whether whole chains become Ethereum L2s, tying governance to market structure. The Ethereum Economic Zone did not appear out of thin air at EthCC 2026; it is the visible tip of a governance process inside Gnosis that has been wrestling with a single strategic question for months: should a long‑running sidechain effectively become a native Ethereum layer‑2. GnosisDAO governance records from February 2026 show community discussions around a six‑month R&D collaboration with zero‑knowledge engineer Jordi Baylina to explore “converting Gnosis Chain (GNO) into a…

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused the Financial Times of fabricating a story claiming he supported modeling Treasury-Federal Reserve (Fed) relations on the Bank of England (BoE) framework. The explosive denial comes after the FT published its report, citing unnamed financial industry executives. Bessent vs. FT and What It Means for Crypto Markets Bessent called the FT article “explicitly false” and said journalists ignored his direct, on-the-record rejection of the premise. The FT had reported that Bessent discussed tightening Treasury oversight of the Fed by adopting elements of the BoE’s model, including letter-writing mechanisms between the chancellor and the central…
