2. Leadership Changes at the Ethereum Foundation, Aya Miyaguchi to Become President

Aya Miyaguchi, Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, announced on Tuesday that she will be stepping down and will soon take on the new role of President of the organization. At the time of this announcement, the nonprofit organization is undergoing leadership changes, and Ethereum has seen a decline in its appeal to new builders in recent months, with some attributing the lagging token prices of the blockchain compared to other cryptocurrencies to Miyaguchi's leadership. In a blog post, Miyaguchi wrote, "This new opportunity will allow me to continue supporting EF's institutional relationships and to broaden the impact of our vision and culture." The Ethereum Foundation is a nonprofit organization that supports the development of the Ethereum blockchain. Miyaguchi joined the Ethereum Foundation in 2018 and has served as Executive Director. CoinDesk reached out to a spokesperson for the Ethereum Foundation to inquire about who will take over the Executive Director position but did not receive a response before publication. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin wrote in a post on X, "Every success of the Ethereum Foundation—steady execution of Ethereum hard forks, client interoperability workshops, Devcon, Ethereum's culture, and a steadfast commitment to its mission and values—has been, to some extent, a result of Aya's management."

4. U.S. Congress May Pass Stablecoin Bill, Market Could See Influx of Funds

According to Zack Shapiro, policy director at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, the U.S. Congress may pass a stablecoin bill in the coming months, and regulatory clarity could open the floodgates for institutional funds. He explained that especially after the passage of the stablecoin bill, the banking system could see a wave of "compliant stablecoin" issuances, injecting new momentum into the market. "I believe all banks want to do this and compete with Tether, but currently, there is a lack of sufficient regulatory clarity. Therefore, once Congress passes the stablecoin bill, it could potentially bring in a large influx of funds." However, uncertainty in the legislative process may lead to short-term selling pressure, but in the long term, it will solidify the value foundation. -Original
