The latest funding crisis in Ethereum has sparked intense debate, focusing on whether staking rewards should be taxed

According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum is embroiled in a fierce governance debate over the source of core development funding. Last Friday, former Ethereum Foundation contributor Trenton Van Epps warned that as old support programs deplete and foundation expenditures shrink, the core development ecosystem could face a "slow-burning funding crisis" within three to nine months, requiring approximately $30 million annually to maintain over a dozen clients, research, and coordination teams.The core of the debate stems from the "validator redirect income" proposal put forward by Kleros co-founder Clément Lesaege, which suggests redirecting 0% to 10% of validator rewards to an ecosystem funding pool, estimated to generate about 50,000 to 70,000 ETH annually at current staking levels. This proposal has faced widespread opposition, with critics warning that it could entrench the power of large validators and blur the boundaries between operations and governance. Some community members previously countered that the foundation's funds are sufficient to operate for 30 years, but the foundation's actual decisions indicate that it is actively shrinking expenditures and pushing for diversified funding models.On Monday, a nonprofit organization called EthLabs was announced, initiated by five former Ethereum Foundation researchers, aiming to directly fund development through large ETH holders. On Tuesday, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that the foundation is cutting its budget by about 40% according to established policies and has recently laid off 54 people.

BIT's US stock financing trading is about to launch public testing, with professional trading capabilities continuously upgraded

BIT (formerly Matrixport) announced the official launch of its U.S. stock margin trading feature, which will be open for public testing starting June 26. BIT is the first platform in the cryptocurrency industry to offer margin trading functionality. Users can now submit margin loan applications through the official website or app. BIT will review applications based on account status and risk management requirements, gradually increasing the margin limits. Additionally, features such as securities lending are also in preparation and will be gradually opened based on regulatory requirements and product progress.During the public testing period, BIT will simultaneously launch the "First Margin Loan · Limited Time Interest-Free" and "Interest Cashback Gift" promotions: Users who use margin trading for the first time during the promotional period will enjoy 30 days of 0% interest on their first loan, allowing users to experience the efficiency of leveraged funds without interest. Elio Cui, head of brokerage services, stated: "BIT is the first to provide margin trading functionality, enhancing the customer journey from account opening, trading to fund leverage. This allows BIT customers to improve investment efficiency and strategically position themselves in the world's most wealth-generating assets without relying on bank cards or leaving the digital asset ecosystem."BIT also reminds users that while margin trading enhances the efficiency of fund usage, it also comes with corresponding risks. Users should fully understand margin rules and risk control mechanisms and participate cautiously based on their own risk tolerance.
