Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs vetoed a bill that would have allowed the state to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, citing Bitcoin as an "untested investment." In response, Senator Wendy Rogers announced her intention to refile the bill in the next legislative session, emphasizing that "Arizona needs Bitcoin, not the other way around." Meanwhile, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed a five-year plan to simplify Ethereum’s base protocol to make it as "beautifully simple" as Bitcoin. His proposal includes the Fusaka fork, a new consensus layer, and a potential shift to a RISC-V virtual machine to enhance scalability and resilience. In cryptocurrency market updates, Bitcoin traded around $94,000, Ethereum near $1,825, and Solana approximately $146. Solana also addressed a zero-day exploit related to the Token-22 standard. Additional crypto developments include Tether announcing Tether AI, a peer-to-peer network for AI agents, and the SEC delaying its decision on a Litecoin ETF. BlackRock invested $2.7 billion into Ethereum, and Nvidia is reportedly considering adding Bitcoin to its treasury.
