The European Central Bank (ECB) will launch a blockchain settlement pilot through a new program called 'Pontes' by the end of 2026, aiming to connect distributed ledger technology (DLT) platforms with the Eurozone's core payment systems. The ECB approved a dual-track plan for settling DLT transactions in central bank currency on Tuesday, which may pave the way for the modernization of the European financial system.
The first path 'Pontes' will focus on short-term solutions, connecting blockchain-based DLT platforms with the 'TARGET' financial services system developed and operated within the Euro system (which aims to facilitate payments and securities circulation within the Eurozone). The pilot is expected to launch by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
The ECB stated that the pilot will utilize its findings from its 2024 DLT exploratory experiments (including over 50 experiments and 64 participating institutions) to test a unified settlement system for central bank currency. 'This decision aligns with the Euro system's commitment to support innovation while ensuring the security and efficiency of financial market infrastructure.'

Bit Digital raised $163 million through stock issuance to support its Ethereum reserve program.

The Ethereum Community Foundation has been officially established, planning to promote the price increase of ETH.
The Ethereum Community Foundation has been officially established and has raised millions of dollars in ETH to support 'immutable, non-token' neutral technology projects, aiming to promote institutional adoption of Ethereum infrastructure and boost ETH prices.
The foundation was initiated by Ethereum ecosystem developer Zak Cole, who stated that all supported integration projects must 'promote ETH destruction' to ensure network adoption aligns with the interests of ETH holders. Additionally, the foundation will prioritize funding real-world asset projects that can bring stocks, bonds, real estate, etc., on-chain, as well as public goods projects aimed at fixing blob space pricing.
The foundation will use 'token voting' to decide on funded projects, and all funding usage and discussion processes will remain completely transparent. The first funding program is the 'Ethereum Validator Association,' aimed at empowering validators to participate in network development and fund its infrastructure construction.
Zak Cole emphasized: 'We fund projects that destroy ETH, adhere to immutability, reject token games, align incentive mechanisms, and fill the gaps left by the Ethereum Foundation.'

The cryptocurrency tax incentive provisions were not included in Trump's (Beautiful Big) bill.
On Tuesday local time, the U.S. Senate narrowly passed President Donald Trump's (Beautiful Big) bill, but to the disappointment of crypto industry leaders, the bill failed to include the key tax amendment they had previously advocated for crypto users.
In the last few hours of intense negotiations before the bill was passed, pro-crypto senators led by Senator Cynthia Lummis (Republican from Wyoming) and industry policy leaders attempted to attach an amendment containing multiple crypto-related tax incentives to the bill, covering crypto miners, stakers, enterprises holding large amounts of cryptocurrencies, and ordinary digital asset users. However, time ultimately ran out, and the amendment did not enter the Senate's review process. One crypto policy leader described this outcome as a 'missed opportunity' and stated that they 'just ran out of time.'

The U.S. SEC is exploring universal listing standards for token-based ETFs.
Cryptocurrency journalist Eleanor Terrett posted on platform X that the U.S. SEC is exploring universal listing standards for token-based ETFs to streamline the approval process. Currently, the agency is coordinating with exchanges, and the idea is that if a token meets the standards, the issuer can skip the 19b-4 process and directly submit an S-1 document, waiting 75 days for the exchange to list it. This approach can save the issuer and the SEC a lot of paperwork and time spent on repeated consultations. What these listing standards entail is currently unclear, but there is speculation that market value, trading volume, and liquidity are being considered. A spokesperson for the SEC declined to comment.
