SkyBridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci stated in an interview with Bankless that the U.S. Senate will approve a large-scale Bitcoin purchase plan because "Trump wants the plan to succeed, and he has gained support from the Senate Banking Committee."
Anthony Scaramucci revealed that the strategic Bitcoin reserve bill proposed by Senator Cynthia Lummis has received enough support, but he believes that the plan to purchase 1 million BTC is unrealistic. He expects the U.S. government to retain its current holdings of about 200,000 BTC and then purchase an additional 400,000 to 500,000 BTC.

Evan Van Ness, founder of "Week in Ethereum News" (WiE), announced on social media: "Due to a conversation with the leadership of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) earlier this year, I am announcing the termination of this newsletter, as communication indicated they believe continuing to operate WiE is not valuable.
In the remaining time of 2024, WiE received very little funding support from the Ethereum Foundation. Although this support was mostly symbolic, the EF leadership's choice to cut this meager support clearly indicated that it was time for WiE to end.
The withdrawal of support from the Ethereum Foundation made it more clear than any other way that it was time for WiE to conclude.
WiE had previously achieved good results. Over the years, many developers have told me at conferences that WiE has impacted their Solidity or security careers. They often mentioned that this newsletter influenced their decision to purchase ETH. Once upon a time, this established newsletter was the upstream source for most Ethereum news supporters.
But unfortunately, WiE failed to find a sustainable business model. Advertising and sponsorships are hard to sell because the marketing director does not value developers. I have high standards for content, but completing it in a profitable way is simply too time-consuming."
