A certain exchange published an analysis on the X platform, pointing out that against the backdrop of recent geopolitical turmoil disrupting traditional financial markets, sentiment in the crypto market may be undergoing a shift, especially as bitcoin is showing relative strength. Since the beginning of this year, bitcoin's performance has outpaced the US stock market, and market opinions suggest that the crypto market may be gradually emerging from an "extremely pessimistic period." The latest macro data shows that US non-farm employment growth is cooling, challenging the previous narrative of a "resilient labor market." Meanwhile, bitcoin's value proposition as a relatively independent asset may be further enhanced in the eyes of institutional investors. In addition, the rise in systematic leverage ratios also reflects improving participation in the crypto market. However, the market remains cautiously optimistic, with investors still waiting for further confirmation of the trend and closely monitoring whether market participation can support a sustained upward movement.

Jinse Finance reported that Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform to interpret the Ethereum Foundation's new mission statement, "EF Mandate." He stated that Ethereum holds a unique role in the global digital ecosystem, with its mission to become a "sanctuary technology" to uphold technological self-sovereignty and promote collaboration in an environment free from coercion and domination. Ethereum's core goal is to ensure that no individual, organization, or ideology can achieve absolute control in cyberspace, and to provide users with an "exit mechanism." As the "guardian" of the network, the Ethereum Foundation will continue to focus on the CROPS principles: anti-censorship and anti-capture, open source, privacy, and security. At the protocol layer, it will prioritize decentralization, verifiability, network activity, and security, while advancing capability upgrades such as account abstraction to reduce reliance on intermediaries. At the application layer, the Ethereum Foundation is committed to creating a "zero option" user experience that balances security, privacy, and user autonomy, and will complement broader ecosystem projects to jointly drive the development of the Ethereum ecosystem. Vitalik Buterin also pledged to double down on Ethereum and expressed great anticipation for its future development.
