‍Hoskinson Skeptical of CLARITY Act, Calls for Crypto Czar's Resignation Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, expressed doubt about the CLARITY Act's passage and urged David Sacks, Trump's crypto advisor, to resign. Hoskinson cited market declines (40-50% since the administration took office), lack of regulatory clarity, and stalled innovation as reasons for his criticism. He also opposes the GENIUS Act, fearing it will centralize crypto around traditional finance giants, effectively giving "Wall Street the keys to the crypto kingdom."

‍Bank of Italy Warns of Ethereum Infrastructure Risks from ETH Collapse A new study from the Bank of Italy explores the potential infrastructure risks to the Ethereum network should Ether (ETH) experience a catastrophic price decline. Economist Claudia Biancotti's research, "What if Ether Goes to Zero?", views Ethereum not just as a speculative asset but as critical financial infrastructure. The paper highlights that a zero ETH value could undermine network security and settlement capabilities due to the incentive structure of Proof of Stake validators. This could lead to susceptibility to attacks, transaction delays, and increased operational risk for DeFi services, stablecoins, and tokenized assets built on the network. The findings suggest a challenging regulatory landscape, with options including classifying public chains as unsuitable for regulated financial services or permitting their use under strict risk mitigation measures. The focus is shifting from price volatility to the structural integrity of decentralized systems.

‍Standard Chartered Explores Crypto Brokerage, Revises ETH Price Targets Standard Chartered is reportedly developing a crypto prime brokerage platform through its SC Ventures arm. This move aligns with its increasing institutional involvement in digital assets. Simultaneously, the bank has adjusted its medium-term price forecasts for Ether (ETH). The 2026 year-end target was lowered to $7,500 (from $12,000), and the 2028 outlook to $22,000 (from $25,000). This revision is attributed to Bitcoin’s market dominance. However, the 2030 price target was raised to $40,000. This strategic expansion occurs as other financial giants like Morgan Stanley and Bank of America increase their crypto offerings.
