Nijkerk also reported the Ethereum Foundation's updated treasury policy with a 15% operational expense cap, enhancing ETH's long-term sustainability and market confidence. Sam Reynolds stated that Bitcoin Core 30 will increase the OP_RETURN data limit to nearly 4MB, potentially affecting BTC transaction utility and fee dynamics.
