According to ChainCatcher, WLFI CEO Zach Witkoff responded on X to a recently circulated article on the platform, which was allegedly written by a “WLFI Web3 Ambassador” and contained doubts about WLFI. After verification, the author of the article is not a member of the WLFI team and has no connection to WLFI. Zach Witkoff stated: 1. The article equates WLFI with the Trump Meme Coin, but they are completely unrelated; 2. WLFI has no connection with “fight fight fight” or CIC CIC digital; 3.  Early holders of WIFI bought in at prices of $0.015 and $0.05, and today’s price is $0.08; 4.  WIFI does not use “transaction fees” as its main product. The main product of WIFI is stablecoins, which generate income by holding government bonds. Based on trading volume and market capitalization, WIFI’s stablecoin is the second largest compliant stablecoin. Zach Witkoff also responded: “More thorough research should be done before writing a long thread.”

Foresight News reports that the Ethereum Foundation recently released its latest development brief, indicating that the next Ethereum upgrade, Glamsterdam, is progressing steadily. Although the implementation of ePBS (in-protocol PBS) is rather complex, its relevant test networks are stabilizing, and the development of block-level access lists (BALs) is advancing smoothly. The current goal is that if the ePBS testnet remains stable, the first general Glamsterdam testnet will be launched next week, followed by client releases, security audits, and testnet testing. Additionally, EIP-7954, which aims to increase the maximum contract size, is very likely to be prioritized. The subsequent Hegotá upgrade has selected FOCIL (EIP-7805) as its core consensus layer feature, while the proposal for account abstraction (AA), EIP-8141, has not reached consensus and is now in a Condition for Inclusion (CFI) status. Non-core feature proposals for Hegotá were launched on April 9. In terms of Network Gas Limit, the current benchmark target is set at 60 million, and testing with higher limits is still ongoing. As for the timing of upgrades, the likelihood of Glamsterdam going live in the second quarter is low, while Hegotá's progress will heavily depend on the completion of the former.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, macro investor Jordi Visser stated that Bitcoin and Ethereum are not far from key price levels which may signal a trend reversal this year, despite increasing opinions within the industry that the market has entered a bear cycle. He said: “If Bitcoin breaks above $76,000 and Ethereum surpasses $2,400, I believe this will mark the start of a sustainable rally this year, as I do not expect a recession.” Visser also said: “I believe inflation will remain high, and people will need to find profitable assets in a world where the S&P Index sees no gains.” On prediction market Kalshi, the probability of a recession in 2026 is currently priced at 24%, down 10 percentage points over the past 30 days. Visser’s view contrasts with the growing pessimism within the crypto industry—some even expect Bitcoin to drop below this year’s low of $60,000 on February 6. Veteran trader Peter Brandt stated on March 31 that Bitcoin may retest or even “slightly undercut” that price level in September or October this year, which would mark the cycle’s bear market low.
