Grayscale’s Strategic Ethereum Trust Retraction Filing Raises Questions Per a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Grayscale has withdrawn its 19b-4 filing for listing and trading its ether trust, known as ETHE. This development unfolds at a juncture when the general consensus among the community is that the prospects of the SEC greenlighting an ETH-based ETF are fairly low. Analysts and prediction markets have assigned a minimal probability to the SEC’s approval, with some even suggesting the likelihood is nil. After the withdrawal, James Seyffart, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, addressed the retraction in a post on the social media platform X. “This is interesting,” Seyffart said. “Grayscale just withdrew their 19b-4 filing for an ethereum futures ETF. This was essentially a trojan horse filing in my view, in order to create the same circumstances that allowed Grayscale to win the GBTC lawsuit (approve futures deny spot)” [I don’t know] why they’d do this honestly. In my mind might as well make the SEC write up an approval or denial for an ETH futures ETF and go from there? Maybe the SEC spoke with Grayscale about this… And whatever was said convinced Grayscale to withdraw? (This is a complete guess). While the reasons behind the decision remain unclear, speculation persists and the likelihood of approval has diminished further. As the crypto community ponders the implications, this withdrawal could mark a complete recalibration of expectations regarding ethereum-based, physically-settled ETFs.#BTC##HotTopicDiscussion##GateioBountyCreator#

About the performance of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Every operation on the Ethereum mainnet costs a certain amount of Gas. If we put all the calculations required to run the basic application on the chain, either the app will crash or the user will go bankrupt. This gave birth to L2: OPRU introduces a collator to bundle a bunch of transactions before committing to mainnet. This not only helps the app to undertake the security of Ethereum, but also gives users a better experience. Users can submit transactions faster, and fees are cheaper. While operations have become cheaper, it still uses the native EVM as the execution layer. Similar to ZK Rollups, Scroll, Polygon zkEVM uses or will use EVM-based zk circuits, and zk Proof will generate...

Putting together scattered puzzle pieces into a panoramic picture is what @SentientAGI aims to do. The GRID it is building is not a single point breakthrough, but a full-chain AI network. It encompasses the computing power, models, and verification layers of AI, making the entire ecosystem transparent, open, and trustworthy. Computing Power Layer: Leveraging partners like Akash, Aethir, etc., to ensure that training and inference run smoothly. Model Layer: Secure arbitration through Eigenlayer, resolving complex disputes with Judge Dobby; collaborating with KGeN to train the game large model using real player data. Verifiable Layer: Phala, Nillion, Lagrange, Lit Protocol, Atoma, and others combine to ensure that AI no longer makes unfounded statements; all operations are verifiable and traceable. In other words, other AI projects may focus only on a specific link, while Sentient's goal is to "connect the entire chain from Computing Power to verification." Developers do not need to reinvent the wheel; they can directly integrate to build applications, and users do not need to worry about data leaks or AI fabrications, as the entire process is open and transparent. In addition, the $85 million financing from Sentient, along with the Yappers Group program launched by @KaitoAI, is the icing on the cake. By joining Yappers, you can enjoy: Kaito exclusive leaderboard rewards + DC AGI character rewards, the official has clearly stated that they do not dilute each other. Exclusive Yapper Group and Curated Content Package Closer community interaction and exclusive access Early participants have obvious advantages; the earlier you get on board, the earlier you can obtain yaps and AGI role rewards. The application channel has been opened: In summary, the gameplay of SentientAGI is not about single-point rewards, but rather about a comprehensive approach that builds an open, transparent, and secure AI network. Here, developers can innovate with confidence, users can use it with peace of mind, and community contributors can receive exclusive rewards. The great voyage has set sail, and the panoramic view of the future of AI is slowly unfolding within the GRID. #SentientAGI #KAITO
