Standard & Poor's global analysts stated that the proposed Ethereum ETF may increase concentration risk within the Ethereum network if approved. The analyst stated: "A US Ethereum ETF that includes staking functionality may become large enough to change the concentration of validators in the Ethereum network, for better or for worse. Therefore, understanding how the ETF issuer's choices will drive concentration risk is crucial." The analyst also stated that new cryptocurrency custodians may help ETF issuers achieve stake diversification, thereby reducing this risk.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the US's 125% tariff increase on China: China does not want to fight a tariff war, but is not afraid of it

regarding the US announcement of imposing a 125% tariff on China, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said that the US, out of selfish interests, is using tariffs as a weapon to exert extreme pressure and seek private gains, severely infringing on the legitimate rights and interests of all countries, seriously violating the rules of the World Trade Organization, seriously undermining the rules-based multilateral trading system, and seriously disrupting the stability of the global economic order. This is openly defying the will of the world and going against the entire world. I want to emphasize once again that there are no winners in a tariff war or trade war. China does not want to fight, but is not afraid to fight. We will never allow the legitimate rights of the Chinese people to be deprived, and we will never allow the international economic and trade rules and multilateral trading system to be destroyed. If the US insists on waging a tariff war or trade war, China will definitely fight to the end. The US is prioritizing its own interests over the common interests of the international community, sacrificing the legitimate interests of all countries in the world to serve its hegemonic interests, which will inevitably face even stronger opposition from the international community.
