🔹#ETH Vitalik Buterin has outlined a long-term proposal on the Ethereum Magicians forum to replace the current EVM bytecode with the open-source RISC-V architecture, aiming to greatly enhance the scalability of Ethereum’s execution layer. He emphasized that legacy and RISC-V contracts would remain fully interoperable and suggested creating an interpreter to translate EVM contracts into RISC-V equivalents.

🔹#ETH Uniswap founder Hayden Adams shared his thoughts on the Ethereum scaling debate, suggesting that if Ethereum continues to rely on Layer 1 for DeFi, Solana might have a better roadmap, team, and scaling approach. He emphasized that Ethereum should stay committed to its rollup-focused L2 scaling strategy, which has been in development for the past five years, and criticized the community for frequently changing its narrative.

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated (https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20250416a.htm) that upcoming tariffs and policy shifts — spanning trade, immigration, fiscal, and regulatory areas — could potentially drive inflation higher and dampen economic growth, though their exact impact remains uncertain. He also acknowledged the growing mainstream adoption of crypto, emphasizing that creating a legal framework for stablecoins is a logical step. Additionally, Powell mentioned that crypto-related banking regulations are likely to be “partially relaxed” moving forward.

Vitalik shared (https://warpcast.com/vitalik.eth/0x15ed32c4) on Warpcast that for the application layer to truly thrive, it needs to be grounded in a strong social philosophy and built by developers who genuinely believe in decentralization. He cited Railgun, Farcaster, Polymarket, and Signal as examples of well-aligned applications. In contrast, he pointed to Pumpfun, Terra/Luna, and FTX as examples of poor applications, emphasizing that the difference lies in the underlying intentions and beliefs of the developers behind each project.

U.S. crypto advocate David Sacks hailed (https://x.com/davidsacks47/status/1904540971171512459) the FDIC’s decision to eliminate “reputational risk” as a factor in bank regulation as a major victory for the crypto industry. He argued that this vague and subjective standard had been used to unjustly de-bank legitimate crypto firms, contributing to what he termed “Financial Blockade 2.0.” Sacks emphasized that bank oversight should be based on objective, quantifiable criteria rather than public perception.

The SEC has clarified (https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/statement-certain-proof-work-mining-activities-032025) that mining and mining pool activities under the PoW mechanism do not qualify as securities offerings. According to the statement, Protocol Mining on PoW networks solely involves contributing computational resources rather than depending on the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others. As a result, it does not meet the Howey Test criteria for an investment contract.
