The Ethereum Glamsterdam hard fork entered the final development testnet phase on Tuesday, locking in ten EIP proposals, positioned as the largest protocol upgrade since the merge.The two core proposals are: EIP-7732, which directly writes the proposer-builder separation (ePBS) into the consensus layer, replacing the current reliance on off-chain relays like MEV-Boost; and EIP-7928, which introduces block-level access lists (BALs), allowing validators to process unrelated transactions in parallel. The combination of these paves the way for a 200 million Gas limit, increasing approximately three times from the current level of about 60 million, with theoretical throughput reaching around 10,000 TPS.On the user side, EIP-2780 is expected to make standard ETH transfers up to 71% cheaper. The mainnet activation date has yet to be determined and must first complete validation on the Holesky and Hoodi testnets. Based on historical rhythms, it is expected to go live between September and December 2026. The 200 million Gas limit is a design goal rather than a fork-enforced value, ultimately to be gradually increased by validators through Gas voting signals.

According to The Defiant, after the market correction in early June, the fees for major DeFi lending protocols and DEXs have significantly declined.In the past 7 days, Aave V3 fees decreased by 60% to $6.72 million, Morpho Blue decreased by 60% to $3.27 million, and Maple Finance decreased by 59% to $1.25 million; on the DEX side, Uniswap V3 decreased by 57% to $3.74 million, and Curve decreased by 65% to $891,000.However, from a 30-day perspective, Morpho Blue fees increased by 23%, Maple increased by 49%, Uniswap V3 increased by 27%, and Curve increased by 71%.

According to The Block, the activities of Pump.fun, the meme coin launch platform that once dominated Solana, have continued to deteriorate, with token graduation rates, revenue, and network fees all significantly declining. The 7-day average token graduation rate for Pump.fun dropped to 0.26% last week, an 80% decrease over three months. Daily revenue is only about $800,000, far below the $4.8 million from six months ago. The PUMP token has fallen 40% in the past six months. The decline of Pump.fun has affected the Solana network, with daily fees on the Solana network dropping to 5,300 SOL, well below the 33,000 SOL in January. Analysts believe that a large amount of capital that previously participated in Solana meme coins has shifted to perpetual contract trading on Hyperliquid, consistent with the rapid growth of HIP-3.

According to Reuters, Zimbabwe's Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube has announced new regulations requiring all cryptocurrency businesses engaged in the buying, transferring, or custody of virtual assets to register annually with the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) under the central bank and pay a $500 annual fee. Operating without registration will be considered illegal.The new regulations provide the first dedicated regulatory framework for the local cryptocurrency market, which has long lacked legal structure and primarily operates in over-the-counter and social media channels. Zimbabwe previously banned financial institutions from participating in cryptocurrency trading in 2018, leading the public to turn to digital assets like Bitcoin and cross-border remittances due to hyperinflation and multiple currency reforms, driving a surge in cryptocurrency usage.

Russian Deputy Finance Minister Ivan Chebeskov stated that Russia may introduce fees, recommendations, and technical protection mechanisms for "unfriendly" cryptocurrency transactions to protect Russian investors. During the preparation for the second reading of the cryptocurrency market regulation bill, one of the core topics is whether to allow specific digital assets (including USDT and BNB) to participate in trading. Ivan Chebeskov pointed out that the operation of such tools may pose high risks to Russian users, and therefore additional protective measures are being considered, including economic incentives such as fees or recommendations to encourage citizens to hold other assets.Previously, the Russian Ministry of Finance considered excluding USDT from the cryptocurrency market regulatory framework, but industry participants expressed their willingness to bear the risks of using the tool themselves. Additionally, in the regulatory concept proposed by the Central Bank of Russia last December, it was suggested that digital currencies and stablecoins be classified as foreign exchange assets, allowing buying and selling but prohibiting their use for domestic payments for goods and services. Ineligible investors may purchase the most liquid cryptocurrencies after passing specific tests, and the annual limit for purchasing assets through a single intermediary does not exceed 300,000 rubles.
