EigenLayer, an Ethereum restaking protocol, has launched the EIGEN token, distributed through a stakedrop to its community, sparking widespread interest and debate. The protocol has secured substantial funding and a total value locked (TVL) in the billions, influencing the Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) market significantly. Despite the potential, the recent release of its whitepaper detailing the token's design and distribution has divided opinions, raising concerns about its long-term viability and effectiveness. EigenLayer's innovative approach utilizes Ethereum's security for other applications without fragmenting it, introducing a new token model that includes Universal Objective and Intersubjective Work Tokens, aiming to enhance Ethereum's scope beyond just securing its own blockchain. This dual-token system also includes mechanisms for managing intersubjective faults and decentralizing decision-making, albeit with some skepticism regarding the actual demand and effectiveness of such a model. |

Drew Ferguson (R-GA) and Wiley Nickel (D-NC) introduced a bill to clarify that digital asset rewards from staking or mining are not taxable until the assets are sold or disposed. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) and House Financial Services Chair Patrick McHenry (R-NC) criticized SEC Chair Gensler for misleading Congress, following allegations suggesting the SEC considered ETH a security prior to an oversight hearing at which Chair Gensler refused to clarify ETH's regulatory status. Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) pushed back against recent DOJ efforts to classify certain non-custodial software as a money transmitter business subject to the BSA, vowing to "do everything I can to fight for your rights to hold your own keys and run your own node." As for stablecoins, negotiations continue, but it is unlikely a deal will be attached to an FAA reauthorization bill expected to move next week. Finally, Senator Warren fired off two more letters focused on crypto and illicit finance concerns.
