The U.S. Senate is currently negotiating a compromise on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget with both Democratic and Republican parties. According to PANews, even if the Senate separates the DHS budget from six spending bills and approves the other five, there is still a risk of a 78% government shutdown this Saturday. Differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill require the House to readjust the legislation and address the DHS budget separately. However, the House is not in session this week, preventing swift action. Additionally, disputes over the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have intensified partisan divisions.

Unchained podcast host Laura Shin released a video featuring Griff Green, who announced the revival of The DAO nearly a decade after the 2016 hacking incident. According to Foresight News, unclaimed ETH from the hack is being utilized to establish an Ethereum security fund valued at $250 million. Subsequently, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin confirmed that the DAO Security Fund has officially commenced, deploying over 75,000 ETH to enhance Ethereum's security. On June 17, 2016, a vulnerability in The DAO contract allowed hackers to steal approximately 3.6 million ETH. This incident ultimately led to an Ethereum hard fork, resulting in the creation of two separate chains: ETH and ETC.
