Investor Fred Krueger has submitted an ambitious economic proposal to the U.S.: a permanent interest rate of 3%, a flat 20% income tax, and no crypto and capital gains tax. He blamed the existing Fed policies for the slowing of GDP and inflation. Krueger also forecasted that Bitcoin would hit 250K by the end of the year, as he thinks that crypto has already won and only requires favourable regulation.

On 5 August 2025, Coinbase Base Network had a 19-minute block production stoppage because of an unsafe head delay, resulting in delays in transactions, deposits, and withdrawals. Services were restored at 14:44 (UTC+8), and the issue was resolved. The fast and open response of Base reassured users and highlighted the role of real-time monitoring and communication in the stability of blockchains.

Its ambitious $10K ETH forecast is causing a stir in the market and drawing parallels to the MicroStrategy Bitcoin playbook.

MicroStrategy Buys Bitcoin for $18.3 billion in only 7 months of 2025, totalling its funding to $40.9 billion since 2024.
