🚀 Ethereum's price is soaring, up 21% this week, fueled by optimism over potential U.S. approval of spot Ethereum ETFs. But beneath the surface, there's tension in the Ethereum developer community over the blockchain's future and progress toward decentralization. 💥

👀 This week, two of the Ethereum Foundation's biggest stars accepted multimillion-dollar token incentive packages from EigenLayer, a restaking protocol that could pose a systemic risk to Ethereum. This sparked a debate about potential conflicts of interest.

🗣️ Amidst this, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin praised the blockchain's culture of freedom to express "negative feelings" and shared a 3,000-plus word post from Kenya.

🎉 Meanwhile, CoinDesk's annual Consensus conference is NEXT WEEK IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, featuring a plethora of discussions and events related to blockchain tech.

📈 This week also saw a big rally in the ether (ETH) price and over $170 million in blockchain project fundraisings.
