Seven core protocol team members have left the Ethereum Foundation since February, and the timing couldn't be worse. The latest upgrade is delayed.
The Glamsterdam upgrade was supposed to ship in June. It's now been pushed to Q3 2026.
On May nineteenth, Ethereum spot ETFs saw sixty-two point three million dollars in single-day outflows. Nearly all of it tied to BlackRock clients.
ETH closed the week at two thousand one hundred and twenty-eight dollars, down seven point five-five percent. That's four consecutive losing weeks, underperforming Bitcoin each time.
Separately, a GitHub supply chain attack is actively targeting crypto developers. The malware, called Mini Shai-Hulud, spreads through poisoned VS Code tasks and steals wallet files, seed phrases, and GitHub tokens from developer machines.
The macro environment is adding its own weight. Oil prices up significantly since February, geopolitical tension, and a cautious Fed are all compressing risk appetite.
