The Ethereum Foundation published a summary of the Soldøgn Interop work, stating that key objectives for the Glamsterdam upgrade have now been largely achieved. These include reaching consensus on a post-upgrade gas limit floor of 200 million, achieving stable operation of the external builder process for ePBS, and finalizing the gas repricing parameters defined in EIP-8037. The primary focus of the Glamsterdam upgrade is to safely increase the gas limit—thereby expanding Ethereum’s throughput capacity—while EIP-8037 aims to prevent unbounded state growth under high gas limits by increasing the cost of state creation. The Ethereum Foundation also noted that most clients have achieved stable operation on glamsterdam-devnet-2 and have successfully tested the full external builder workflow. Additionally, substantial progress has been made on FOCIL, native account abstraction, and the Hegotá upgrade. Over the coming weeks, core developers will continue strengthening clients, refining tests, and merging code; final parameters will be publicly confirmed at the AllCoreDevs meeting.

According to sources familiar with the matter, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is planning to make a takeover bid for the e-commerce platform eBay, which has a market capitalization of approximately $45 billion, with the aim of transforming it into a retail giant valued at over $100 billion—while GameStop’s current market cap stands at only about $11 billion. Per Bitget market data, following the news, eBay’s after-hours stock price surged more than 10% on U.S. markets, while GameStop rose roughly 5% in tandem. The sources also revealed that GameStop has quietly accumulated shares of eBay and may submit its formal offer as early as later this month; should eBay’s board reject the proposal, Cohen could launch a direct tender offer to eBay’s shareholders. Earlier this year, Cohen explicitly stated he is scouting major acquisition targets in the consumer and retail sectors, seeking to expand the company’s business beyond video games and collectibles. He recently revised his compensation plan, under which he stands to receive up to $35 billion in stock awards if certain conditions—including achieving a $100 billion market capitalization—are met. As of the end of March, GameStop held approximately $9 billion in cash—nearly double the $4.8 billion it held a year earlier—providing financial firepower for this “snake-swallowing-elephant”-style acquisition. Over the past 12 months, eBay’s stock has risen more than 50%; in February, it acquired the secondhand fashion platform Depop for $1.2 billion, further focusing on collectibles.

Users can now generate BILL deposit addresses on the Coinbase website, Coinbase App, and Coinbase Exchange (in supported regions).

The Zcash Foundation officially announced the release of Zebra 4.4.0, which addresses multiple critical consensus-level security vulnerabilities. All node operators are strongly advised to upgrade immediately. The vulnerabilities include a denial-of-service (DoS) flaw that could permanently halt the discovery of new blocks; a signature operation (sigop) counting error in block validation that may cause consensus divergence; abnormal handling of transparent transaction signature hashes; and a memory allocation amplification attack risk. The Zcash Foundation stated that some of these vulnerabilities could cause Zebra nodes to accept blocks rejected by zcashd, potentially triggering a chain fork. Without timely upgrades, nodes risk interruption of block discovery, consensus forks, and amplified resource consumption. No alternative mitigations are currently available.
The Foundation stated that the proceeds from this sale will support EF’s core operations and activities, including protocol development, ecosystem growth, and community grants.
Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) stated in a comment letter to the CFTC that state-level regulatory measures for prediction markets are creating "barriers to fair access" and could undermine market liquidity.a16z pointed out that requiring platforms to restrict user access on a state-by-state basis would affect market uniformity, conflicting with the principle of fair access at the federal level. Additionally, frequent bans and enforcement actions could also compress overall trading depth.The institution emphasized that prediction markets play a significant role in information discovery and probability pricing, supporting unified federal regulation. The CFTC, meanwhile, maintains that the relevant contracts fall under its exclusive regulatory scope.
Paradigm researcher Dan Robinson proposed a new scheme called PACT (Prove Address Control with Timestamp), aimed at protecting long-dormant Bitcoin, including Satoshi Nakamoto's early addresses, from future quantum computing attacks.The mechanism allows users to prove control over an address via a timestamp without transferring assets or exposing on-chain activity. Should a future quantum attack occur, assets can be recovered based on this proof within a quantum-resistant version of the Bitcoin network.Compared to mandatory migration schemes such as BIP-361, PACT avoids the privacy exposure issues caused by proactively transferring assets, offering long-term holders a more flexible proactive protection path.

the Central Bank of Brazil (BCB) has issued Resolution No. 561, prohibiting the use of virtual assets for settlement in regulated eFX international payment and transfer services. The resolution stipulates that payments and receipts between eFX service providers and their foreign counterparties must be conducted exclusively through foreign exchange transactions or non-resident Brazilian Real accounts, and the use of virtual assets is strictly forbidden.This regulation also applies to eFX providers in a transition period that have not yet been included in the approved category. These companies must apply for authorization from the Central Bank by May 31, 2027, if they wish to continue providing services. This move does not constitute a comprehensive ban on crypto asset transfers within Brazil but aims to confine cross-border payment flows within the regulated foreign exchange track.The Central Bank of Brazil stated that the decision is due to a surge in the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments, which has raised concerns regarding money laundering, tax issues, and monetary sovereignty.
