Odaily News According to official news, OKX will support the Siacoin (SC) network upgrade and hard fork, and suspend the deposit and withdrawal functions of SC and other related tokens in its network at 13:00 (UTC+8) on June 6, 2025. If you hold SC or its network-related tokens in your OKX account, you do not need to do anything. After the upgrade is completed, OKX will reopen the deposit and withdrawal services of SC tokens and related network tokens when the network is running stably.

However, it is recommended that users pay attention to the potential volatility risks of related tokens in the spot, leverage and derivatives markets, and add margin in advance to reduce the risk of forced liquidation. To ensure the safety of funds, please do not perform deposit and withdrawal operations on related tokens during the upgrade period.

Odaily News The Texas State Legislature is advancing a bill called SB21 to establish the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The bill has been submitted to the state House of Representatives and is expected to be reviewed for the second time on May 20. If it is finally passed, Texas will become the third state government in the United States to approve the establishment of a Bitcoin reserve after New Hampshire and Arizona. The bill authorizes the state comptroller to establish a special fund outside the Treasury Department to purchase digital assets with a market value of more than $500 billion, currently only including Bitcoin. Funding sources may include legislative appropriations, airdrops, forks, investment income, and public or private donations. The reserve assets will be stored in cold wallets and supervised by an advisory committee. (DL News)

Odaily News According to @ralexstokes, the 157th Ethereum Consensus Core Developers Meeting (ACDC) has been held, and the main progress is as follows: Pectra upgrade has been successfully completed, core developer Trent has summarized technical feedback from different teams, and "Pectra Pages" is still open to collect more community views; Pari is working on the analysis report after the blob data is increased. Fusaka direction: peerdas-devnet-7 has been running stably, and the client team is focusing on the development of BPO support, with the goal of launching fusaka-devnet-0 on May 26, covering EIPs such as PeerDAS, BPO and MODEXP Gas cost increase. The relevant specifications for validator hosting are being discussed asynchronously on Discord. The ACD meeting structure is planned to be reorganized: Tim proposed that ACDT focus on the current fork (N), and ACDE/C focus on the next fork (N+1). It is hoped that through structural adjustments, a wider community will be involved in the proposal formulation process earlier, and a tracking mechanism for the entire process from EIP proposals to the main network will be established. The new proposed structure will lock in the main functions by early July, and the remaining small EIPs will be integrated later.
