This week, developers agreed on a new strategy to test Pectra based on the progress of the Holesky and Sepolia upgrades; developers will continue to work to restore Holesky to a stable state, which is expected to take about three weeks; in addition, developers will initiate the Holesky shadow fork, inheriting the same status and on-chain environment as the original public test network.

Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried recently appeared on the Tucker Carlson podcast, the latest stop on his media "image reshaping tour." In the program, SBF claimed that part of the reason he was sentenced to 25 years in prison was his increasingly close relationship with the Republican Party.

"In 2020, I was leaning towards the left, donating to Biden's campaign," SBF said, "but by the end of 2022, my private donations to the Republican Party were equivalent to those to the Democratic Party. This became known around the time of the FTX collapse and may have played a role."

In fact, SBF donated over $40 million to 196 members of Congress, including senior Republicans and Democrats, with about one-third of lawmakers receiving funds from him. He also criticized former SEC chairman Gary Gensler and the regulatory approach to the crypto industry in the interview.

A Google document exposed during SBF's trial showed that he had considered various ways to reshape his image, including "publicly criticizing political correctness" and "appearing on the Tucker Carlson show to show himself as a Republican." Now, with Republicans in control of Washington, this strategy is being implemented.

Reportedly, SBF's parents - former Stanford Law School professor Barbara Fried and Joseph Bankman - are meeting with lawyers and others in Trump's circle, trying to secure a presidential pardon for their son. SBF recently posted comments on social media about the difficulties of layoffs, which were criticized by the crypto community as an attempt to please the Trump administration.

Astar Network founder Sota Watanabe revealed on X platform: "In Japan, cryptocurrencies may not be considered securities, but rather regulated as a new asset class under the new framework of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act. If the bill is passed, it will be a victory for the cryptocurrency industry. The Japanese government has been in talks with industry leaders in Japan, and this is a positive outcome of their collaboration."

Ryan Rasmussen, research director of Bitwise, wrote that the ultimate goal has never been for the US government to buy all the bitcoins. The US strategic bitcoin reserve means:

· Other countries will buy bitcoins;

· Wealth managers have no excuses;

· Financial institutions have no excuses;

· Pension/donation funds have no excuses;

· Concerns about selling bitcoins to the US disappear;

· The US may buy more bitcoins;

· The possibility of states buying bitcoins increases;

· The possibility of the government banning bitcoins is zero.

This will change everything, looking ahead.

In response to the "Trump signs executive order to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve," Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan commented: "I am not sure how the market will view this in the short term. But I am confident that in the long run, this is extremely beneficial for Bitcoin."
