3/ The real bottleneck starts at step zero: onboarding. Wallet management across so many chains = overwhelming complexity. This slows adoption since users face learning inertia, not because they don’t care, but because it’s just too hard. Hard UX = no usage. @NEARProtocol recognises this.

Zeus Layer adoption begins as @SolvProtocol delivers yield bearing Bitcoin. Remember the gamification right now is the pursuit of yield on Bitcoin which produces zero yield natively if held. Methods: 1) $MSTR and Twenty One - yield via services of company with Bitcoin reserves. 2) Permission-less Pegged Bitcoin on DeFi yield producing Solana app layer via @ZeusNetworkHQ Option 1 relies on counterparty risk and the performance of company strategies. Option 2 relies on Solana volume - no counterparty risk and benefits from incoming trillion $$ Stable Coin economy.

Shocking news came from Gitcoin co-founder Kevin Owocki. In an open statement, he announced a tough decision that had to be taken: Gitcoin officially shut down Grants Lab, their main software development unit. “Today, I am sharing one of the hardest decisions we have had to make since Gitcoin was founded,” Owocki wrote. He added that several talented and mission-aligned team members had to part ways, after a thorough discussion with them. Today, I’m sharing one of the most difficult decisions we’ve had to make since the inception of Gitcoin. We’ve made the call to wind down Grants Lab, the primary software development unit behind Gitcoin, and are parting ways with several deeply talented and mission-aligned team… — Kev.Ξth (@owocki) April 25, 2025 Undeniably, the rapid changes in the Web3 world are one of the main factors behind this decision. On the other hand, Gitcoin sees that the Layer 2 ecosystem is maturing, new coordination is emerging, and many new players are starting to enliven the public funding space. Furthermore, the departure of several key Grants Lab members has made the team’s direction less solid, making it difficult to maintain the work culture that had previously been built. Perhaps the most difficult is the fact that Grants Lab has not found a sustainable financial path. While Gitcoin remains active overall through programs such as Gitcoin Passport (now known as HumnPassport), Gitcoin Grants Program, KERNEL, Public Works, and Allo Capital, the Grants Lab expenses have exceeded their ability to survive. With all of this in mind, Gitcoin has decided not to submit a new budget for the second half of 2025. However, this does not mean that Gitcoin is giving up. Imagine a startup that initially had many business lines, then chose to strengthen one of its flagship products to stay relevant amidst the competition. More or less, that is Gitcoin’s current strategy. They will continue to run the Gitcoin Grants program with a leaner team, while continuing to manage their existing asset portfolio. While navigating this transition, Gitcoin has not forgotten about supporting its former employees. They are providing severance pay, continued token vesting, and career assistance such as personal recommendations from team leaders. On the other hand, existing programs are still receiving attention. For example, on February 26, 2025, Gitcoin launched the ZKsync Community Program to encourage the development of zero-knowledge technology. In addition, last March they also successfully distributed funding to DeFi and Gaming projects in the Avalanche ecosystem. Not only that, Gitcoin had actually prepared a new direction. On December 19, 2024, they released their 2025 funding strategy which focused on decentralization, efficient distribution of funds, and support for Web3 public infrastructure. This shows that behind the closure of Grants Lab, Gitcoin still maintains its adaptive spirit. Even so, the effects of this announcement are still felt. Gitcoin’s native token, GTC, has fallen 1.93% in the last 24 hours to about $0.3397. But interestingly, in the last 7 days, GTC has actually increased sharply by 32.74%. Gitcoin also promised to continue to provide updates to the community, including the big GG24 event which is still scheduled to be present. For anyone with questions or clarification, Owocki opened up a direct line of communication via DMs and their governance forum. One chapter is over, but Gitcoin clearly has a long way to go.

Brazil now has the world’s first spot XRP ETF. Asset manager Hashdex launched its XRPH11 fund on Brazil’s B3 stock exchange on April 25th. This launch is a significant step for crypto investment access in Latin America and puts Brazil ahead in offering regulated crypto products. The XRPH11 ETF is designed to track the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index. It does this by holding at least 95% of its assets in XRP , either directly or through related instruments like futures. Hashdex’s bold move now makes Brazil a leader in this space. It has also intensified pressure on the United States, where regulators haven’t yet approved a similar spot XRP ETF, even though XRP has American roots via Ripple Labs. This XRPH11 launch received approval from Brazil’s CVM (Securities and Exchange Commission) earlier in the year. Hashdex also recently got the green light for a Solana spot ETF in Brazil , showing their quick expansion in the region. XRPH11 is now the ninth crypto ETF offered by Hashdex on the B3 exchange, alongside others tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The fund, officially named the Hashdex Nasdaq XRP Fund de Índices, is managed by Genial Investimentos. Genial Bank SA acts as the custodian, responsible for securely holding the ETF’s assets. Related: Hashdex Seeks SEC Approval to Add Litecoin to Its Nasdaq Crypto Index US ETF The fund aims for simple XRP exposure with competitive fees: a total annual fee capped at 0.8% (0.7% management + 0.1% custody) and zero structuring fees for investors. This partnership between Hashdex and Genial also shows Brazil’s financial market is quickly maturing and embracing digital assets. While Brazil surges ahead, the US still lags on approving a spot XRP ETF, despite growing investor demand and multiple filings. Recent political shifts under the Trump administration, which aims to make the US a global crypto hub with clearer regulations, could speed things up. Big players like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton have already submitted applications for US spot XRP ETFs, signaling their confidence that approval might be coming.

Despite legal setbacks, CZ continues to engage in crypto advisory roles, defending his reputation against Bloomberg’s renewed claims. Binance remains the top crypto exchange by volume, with BNB showing bullish technical patterns despite regulatory pressures. Following previous Crypto News Flash (CNF) report on the filing of Binance CEO defamation lawsuit against Bloomberg’s subsidiary in Hong Kong, Changpeng “CZ” Zhao is once again at the center of controversy, responding to renewed scrutiny from Bloomberg regarding his advisory roles in global crypto policy. Despite stepping down as Binance CEO in November 2023 after pleading guilty to U.S. money laundering charges and serving a four-month sentence in 2024, CZ remains active in shaping digital asset regulations worldwide. In his recent tweet, he pointed out that: Instead of writing an issue with evidence, they pick a person and write fictional attacks with zero evidence. I heard that Bloomberg may cancel its entire investigative journalism division soon, due to its low ethical standards. Beforehand, in recent months, CZ has advised governments in Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, and Malaysia on developing crypto-friendly frameworks. His meeting with Malaysia’s Prime Minister to discuss the country’s potential as a crypto hub was notably highlighted in a Bloomberg article. The publication emphasized his past legal issues, questioning the appropriateness of his involvement in regulatory matters. CZ criticized Bloomberg for what he perceives as a pattern of misrepresentation, stating that his comments were taken out of context to sensationalize the story. In addition to CNF updates earlier, BNB price was reported to have surged, and it was spotted that two bullish patterns in the BNB price chart have tipped the asset to hit $1,500 this year. According to reports, despite the controversies surrounding its founder, Binance continues to thrive. The exchange remains the largest by daily trading volume, and its native token, BNB, has shown resilience in the market. To this end, the broader cryptocurrency market also shows signs of recovery, with Ethereum experiencing a 11.75% surge over the past week, reaching $1,771. This positive momentum indicates growing investor confidence, even as regulatory challenges persist, according to Binance. At the time of writing, Binance Coin (BNB) is trading at approximately $605.75 USD, reflecting an increase of 1.41% in the past day and 2.65% in the past week, according to Coin Market Cap data.
