: Australian authorities plan to amend the capital gains tax system in the upcoming federal budget, with the adjustment covering cryptocurrencies and other digital assets. Currently, the Australian Tax Office treats most cryptocurrencies as capital gains tax assets, allowing individual investors who hold them for over 12 months to enjoy a 50% reduction in taxable gains.According to reports, the government is currently considering lowering the 50% discount rate to between 25% and 33%, or adopting inflation indexing to replace the fixed discount, meaning only the real appreciation above inflation would be taxed. The reform applies to stocks, exchange-traded funds, and digital currencies outside of pension accounts. Analysis indicates that the new rules could reduce the after-tax returns on high-growth tokens and may prompt retail investors to adjust their portfolios before the policy potentially takes effect on July 1, 2026. Specific details are pending confirmation in the Finance Minister's budget report.

According to an official announcement, Consensys submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 11, stating that the SEC’s latest interpretive framework for digital assets may leave regulatory gaps, creating compliance uncertainty for self-custodial wallet providers such as MetaMask. Consensys requested that the SEC clarify—through a targeted safe harbor or other exemption—that self-custodial, user-directed interfaces need not register as broker-dealers solely because they facilitate transactions involving non-security digital assets that may be associated with investment contracts. Consensys stated that this measure aims to ensure U.S. users can continue using open, neutral peer-to-peer blockchain tools.

According to The Block, the Ethereum Foundation is restructuring its Protocol team, appointing Will Corcoran, Kev Wedderburn, and Fredrik as the new co-leads of the Protocol cluster. This reorganization comes as Barnabé Monnot and Tim Beiko plan to depart the organization, and Alex Stokes begins a sabbatical. The Protocol team is the Ethereum Foundation’s core team responsible for the design, research, development, and coordination of Ethereum’s base layer, covering areas such as security, cryptography, zkEVM, and peer-to-peer networking. The team is currently advancing Ethereum’s next major scalability upgrade, Glamsterdam, which aims to raise the gas limit ceiling and floor to 200 million and introduce ePBS. Subsequently, the team will shift its R&D focus toward the Hegotá upgrade and the FOCIL prototype to enhance Ethereum’s censorship resistance.
the Ethereum Foundation has disclosed the outcomes of a recent interoperability meeting among core developers held in Svalbard, Norway, and provided an update on the key technical progress of the next upgrade phase, "Glamsterdam." During the meeting, multi-client teams collaborated on network scaling and execution layer optimization, making progress in several areas. Developers confirmed that a "credible path" post-Glamsterdam has been agreed upon, based on the combined results of ePBS, BAL optimizations, and the EIP-8037 repricing mechanism.On the execution layer side, ePBS (External Proposer Separation) has been running stably on the multi-client Glamsterdam-devnet. The external block builder process has completed end-to-end testing, covering nearly all client implementations. Meanwhile, EIP-8037 has been finalized, establishing the fixed cost_per_state_byte model and completing the full repricing parameter output on bal-devnet-6.The expansion track "Hegotá" has also made progress. FOCIL-related prototypes now have operable implementations. The scope of requirements for Account Abstraction (AA) has been defined, and the next phase will move to multi-client devnet verification. Current development efforts remain focused on the final delivery of Glamsterdam, while simultaneously advancing the Hegotá expansion design and the subsequent Strawmap roadmap evolution. The devnet is now live, and features like FOCIL are expected to be further deepened in the next phase of testing.At an organizational level, this interop meeting also marked the official start of leadership restructuring within the Protocol Cluster. The new leads include Will Corcoran, Kev Wedderburn, and Fredrik. Will Corcoran will oversee zkVM proofing and post-quantum consensus coordination, Kev Wedderburn will lead zkEVM research and development, and Fredrik will be responsible for protocol security and the Trillion Dollar Security project. Former Protocol Cluster leadership team members Barnabé Monnot and Tim Beiko will gradually step back from management roles, while Alex Stokes is entering a sabbatical cycle. The Foundation stated that during their tenure, the Protocol team successfully advanced modularization and drove the Fusaka upgrade to launch (December 2025), introducing PeerDAS and increasing mainnet gas capacity.

Odaily Odaily News: In the OpenAI lawsuit, Satya Nadella testified in court as Microsoft's CEO at the U.S. District Court in Oakland, California. The case centers on the ongoing legal dispute over OpenAI's non-profit structure and its path to commercialization. The lawsuit, filed by Elon Musk in 2024, accuses Microsoft of "aiding and abetting the breach of charitable trust obligations" during OpenAI's transition from a non-profit organization to a commercial entity. Microsoft has been making strategic investments in OpenAI since 2019, with cumulative investments reaching approximately $13 billion by 2023, making it one of OpenAI's most important external supporters.During the trial, Satya Nadella reviewed the early partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI, mentioning that the two parties had established deep technological and computing power collaboration before the launch of ChatGPT. In his earlier testimony, Musk stated that Microsoft's additional investment of approximately $10 billion in OpenAI in 2023 was the key turning point that prompted him to file the lawsuit, adding that the scale of the investment altered OpenAI's original non-profit-oriented structure. During the trial, Musk stated: "We are concerned they are turning a charitable organization into a commercial tool." He also questioned Microsoft's potential dominant position in the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and pointed out that its deep integration with OpenAI could impact the competitive landscape of the industry.The case is currently still under trial, and the debate surrounding OpenAI's governance structure, non-profit status, and control over the AI industry is expected to continue.

: Marc, the head of cryptocurrency donations at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, stated that the hospital received a donation equivalent to 0.5% of the total supply of ASTEROID tokens approximately two years ago. However, due to the lack of compliant exchange channels at the time, the assets remained in the on-chain wallet.He noted that as ASTEROID's market cap rose from roughly $20,000 to over $150 million, the hospital's holdings were once valued between $500,000 and $1 million. To avoid impacting the community's liquidity, the hospital ultimately sold the holdings in 12 batches over two days, continuously monitoring liquidity throughout the process.Marc stated that the proceeds totaled over 290 ETH, worth approximately $676,000, and the funds will be used to support the treatment and research of childhood diseases at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

According to The Block, Rob Nichols, CEO of the American Bankers Association (ABA), sent a letter to senior bank executives on Sunday evening urging them to contact U.S. Senators and call for further tightening of provisions related to stablecoin rewards ahead of the Senate Banking Committee’s markup vote scheduled for Thursday. Nichols warned that the current draft fails to effectively prevent crypto firms from offering users “interest-like rewards,” which could trigger massive outflows of bank deposits and threaten economic growth and financial stability. The current draft was negotiated by Senators Angela Alsobrooks and Thom Tillis. It prohibits paying users interest or returns for holding stablecoins but permits rewards tied to genuine activity or transactions—a provision supported by Coinbase. Banking industry groups contend that these exceptions contain loopholes that could be circumvented, and on May 8, they jointly wrote to Committee Chairman Tim Scott and Democrat Elizabeth Warren, requesting technical revisions to the language of the provision.
