Aerodrome launches upgrade suite and Aero hub, expands to Ethereum and Arc

Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund has exited its ETHZilla Ether treasury position, pointing to market volatility and pressure on its balance sheet. The move highlights wider difficulties for public Ether treasury strategies among institutional holders.

RedStone has launched native price feeds on the Stellar network after a recent $10 million exploit exposed oracle vulnerabilities. The integration is meant to support Stellar’s growing DeFi experiments in lending and tokenized assets while improving on-chain price reliability.

Analysts report large investors, including corporates and exchanges, are increasingly staking ETH to earn yield rather than keeping it liquid to sell into price rallies. The shift could tighten available supply and create a more supportive backdrop for ETH prices.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin called the network a “wrong-shaped tool” for directly addressing major global issues, saying many problems require institutional and political solutions rather than on-chain fixes. His comments could shift developer and investor focus toward infrastructure, scaling and pragmatic use cases.

Vitalik Buterin told the Ethereum community to stop chasing Big Tech-style polish and instead prioritize building Ethereum as a refuge from rising authoritarianism and corporate control. His remarks refocus attention on decentralization and governance over flashy consumer product mimicry.
