According to Cointelegraph, Solana Labs CEO Anatoly Yakovenko has expressed his desire for Solana to remain a dynamic and evolving network, continuously adapting to meet the changing demands of its users. This vision contrasts with Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's perspective, which emphasizes Ethereum's development into a self-sustaining blockchain. Yakovenko articulated his thoughts in a post on X, stating that Solana must never cease its iterative process. He emphasized that the network should not rely on any single entity or individual for its evolution, warning that stagnation could lead to its demise. His comments were in response to Buterin's assertion that Ethereum should eventually reach a stage where it can pass the "walkaway test," becoming self-sufficient without ongoing developer intervention for decades. Ethereum and Solana are prominent players in the competitive landscape of layer 1 blockchains. Ethereum is recognized as the most decentralized smart contract platform, leading in stablecoin and real-world asset tokenization activities. In contrast, Solana is noted for its speed and popularity among consumer applications, generating significant fees. Despite their shared prominence, their strategic paths diverge significantly. Buterin's approach prioritizes decentralization, privacy, and self-sovereignty, even if it means sacrificing mainstream adoption. Yakovenko, on the other hand, envisions Solana as an ecosystem that continuously evolves to incorporate new features, addressing real-world needs. Critics of Buterin's strategy argue that excessive feature additions could introduce bugs, security vulnerabilities, and unintended protocol consequences, potentially increasing the risk of centralization. Yakovenko advocates for a diverse community of contributors to drive Solana's protocol updates, rather than relying on a limited number of development teams. He even envisions a future where Solana network fees could support AI-assisted development, enhancing the network's codebase. Yakovenko's philosophy is encapsulated in his statement that there should always be a next version of Solana. Meanwhile, Buterin acknowledges that Ethereum is not yet ready for a hands-off approach. He identifies several areas requiring improvement, including quantum resistance features, scalable architecture, and a block-building model that resists centralization pressures. These enhancements are deemed necessary for Ethereum to endure over time.

Patrick Witt, head of the White House Crypto Council, stated that the United States is still moving forward with the establishment of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, but some "less prominent legal provisions" are slowing down the process. Currently, multiple government agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Office of the Legal Counsel (OLC), are discussing the legal and regulatory authority issues related to the strategic Bitcoin reserve. Witt pointed out that while the arrangements appear straightforward on the surface, differences in the legal authority of different agencies complicate the process at the implementation level, and related issues are still being coordinated. Furthermore, the strategic Bitcoin reserve remains a current policy priority. Previously, in March 2025, Trump signed an executive order establishing a "strategic Bitcoin reserve" and a "digital asset reserve pool," but this order only allows the inclusion of BTC seized by the judiciary in the reserve and does not authorize the government to purchase Bitcoin through the open market, sparking dissatisfaction among some members of the Bitcoin community. Cointelegraph points out that despite the policy controversy, the US government is still exploring potential implementation paths that are compliant and do not increase the fiscal deficit.
