Ethereum issuance-cut plan withdrawn from Hegota candidates, to be handled separately

Ethereum proposal EIP-8363, aimed at reducing issuance, has been dropped from consideration for the next network upgrade, Hegota. The move reflects the view that changes to issuance policy should be discussed through a separate governance process rather than bundled with a standard fork. Ethereum France representative Jerome de Tychey said he withdrew the proposal from Hegota review. The proposal has drawn extensive debate and mixed reactions from market participants.

XRPL burn rate surges 848 percent, but signals of real-world use still unclear

XRP Ledger\'s fee burn rate jumped sharply, but the rise may not signal broader real-world use because about 1 million of 2.9 million transactions failed. Network activity increased, with transactions and payments rising and 24-hour payment volume reaching 929.6 million XRP. Some measures weakened, including active users and transactions per ledger, while active and new accounts surged. XRP price action remained rangebound around $1.50 after retreating from $1.66.
