Viewpoint
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said on the Bankless Podcast that he did not stake all of his Ethereum holdings, but only a "fairly small part" because secure staking requires multi-signature, which is still a tricky process.
Vitalik said, "If you want to stake ETH, the access to its key must be publicly available on some online system. For security reasons, it must be multi-signature, and the multi-signature used for staking is still quite difficult to set up. It becomes complex in many ways."
The co-founder of NDV, a crypto fund, and Azuki whale Christian posted on social media that he had just had a phone call with ZAGABOND.ETH, the founder of the Azuki project, and that the offer of 40 million may still be too low. He will wait to participate in the community meeting later.
BlockBeats previously reported that on June 28th, Christian mentioned Azuki on social media and said, "It is not wise to destroy a project worth $1 billion (and the most loyal community on earth) in order to obtain a profit of $38 million. I am willing to offer $40 million to buy the entire company."
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed regret for projects like Solana that have been classified as securities in his Twitter AMA when asked about "how do you view US crypto policy".
If Ethereum ultimately "wins" because of this, it will not be a glorious victory and may not even be a victory in the long run. At the same time, he hopes that these projects can achieve fair results.
Justin Sun, founder of TRON and member of Huobi Global Advisory Committee, announced on social media that "the first RWA track product in the TRON ecosystem, stUSDT, will be launched soon and will be operated through the decentralized platform JustLend. stUSDT will become the Yu'ebao of the cryptocurrency field, providing users with more diversified investment options."

Translation:The US SEC will respond to Coinbase's first legal defense on July 13th
According to CoinDesk, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will respond to Coinbase's first legal defense on July 13th, as ordered by the court. The hearing date is much earlier than previously expected, due to Coinbase's "creative" defense strategy. Judge Katherine Polk Failla will decide during the July 13th court appearance whether to allow Coinbase to proceed with its motion to dismiss filed yesterday.
It is reported that Coinbase submitted its first response within 40 days prior to the deadline (August 7th). Therefore, the pre-trial conference was changed to a motion hearing and the date was moved up from August 24th to July 13th. The pre-trial motion hearing is an application made by the prosecutor or defense lawyer requesting the court to make a decision on a certain issue before the trial.
Previously reported by BlockBeats, Coinbase claimed in its first legal response to regulatory lawsuits that the digital assets listed on the platform do not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
