Yesterday in Ethereum, Tuesday, March 25, 2025

The Trump family's World Liberty Financial (WLFI) is testing a stablecoin called USD1 on Ethereum and BSC (Binance's EVM blockchain). They've also been working on a lending market that's a fork of Aave. WLFI recently closed their token sale after raising $550 million. Their assets are primarily kept in ETH, most of which was moved to Coinbase Prime (institutional services) in February.

There's a new proposal to change blob pricing (data for rollups). Under EIP-7915, price adjustment would be influenced by the long-run average price. There's been debate about blob pricing. The price doesn't adjust fast enough after a time where supply has exceeded demand. Some people also think we should increase blob prices to generate more revenue for Ethereum (but I think that's about as useful as increasing car prices before the Model T made them mainstream).

/u/LogrisTheBard has some advice in the Daily for someone wanting to earn more on their ether than they get from staking: diversify, understand what you're investing in, and spend time every month to shift your positions.

Fidelity Investments, the third-largest asset manager in the US, will record ownership of a Treasury fund on Ethereum, in addition to the primary ledger being kept the old-fashioned way, creating a blockchain account for each buyer of the fund. Hopefully it's a step towards offering a Treasury fund directly on the blockchain someday. See: news item, explanation of how it works in the SEC filing.

The last Yesterday in Ethereum, from Sunday, was a big one, so don't miss it.
