Bitcoin Price Spikes as Trump Announces $2,000 in Dividends to Some Americans

Bitcoin’s price experienced another uptick in the past few hours as the asset tapped $104,000 for the third time in the past week.

This one came after a rather interesting promise by US President Donald Trump, who said that many Americans, aside from high-income people, would get a dividend of at least $2,000 per person.

Trump’s promise came after he defended the tariffs against numerous nations that he imposed during his current presidential run. The US Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments on whether these tariffs are even legal, while multiple experts have spoken against them.

These dividends of at least $2,000 reminded of similar ‘free money checks’ that many Americans received – the stimulus sent during the first days of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, when countless businesses had to close temporarily and people were left without jobs, the US government began sending checks of $1,200 to people.

The ever-vigilant and vocal crypto community started to speculate whether these funds were used to purchase crypto, and many altcoins exploded shortly after, which intensified the rumors.

Interestingly, BTC’s price, alongside most altcoins, spiked in the past few hours after Trump made his announcements, which brought comparisons between the two events.

For now, though, bitcoin jumped from under $102,000 to $104,000 within minutes, while ETH is up by more than 4% and trades above $3,500. ZEC continues to outperform following another 24% surge to $650. XMR follows suit with a 19% pump.

Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl

Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl

The post Aave V4 roadmap signals end of multichain sprawl appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Aave Labs has released its official launch roadmap for V4, laying out the final steps ahead of the major upgrade’s Q4 mainnet launch.  Alongside new architectural and security improvements, the roadmap introduces a fundamental shift in how user balances are tracked and highlights a strategic pullback from economically underperforming deployments across layer-2 and alternative layer-1 networks. The V4 release moves away from aTokens’ rebasing-style mechanics toward ERC-4626-style share accounting, a change that promises cleaner integrations, easier tax treatment, and better compatibility with downstream DeFi infrastructure.  In a recent technical development update, Aave Labs confirmed that “tokenization is to remain optional and built using ERC 4626 vaults,” and that internal accounting will eliminate the use of exchange rates or scaled balances. The goal is to “further improve the overall reliability of the protocol.” ERC-4626 is a widely adopted Ethereum standard that expresses user deposits as shares of a vault rather than balances that grow over time. In Aave V3, aTokens accrue interest by increasing a user’s balance directly — behavior that resembles rebasing tokens and often confuses integrations and portfolio accounting tools.  By contrast, ERC-4626 tracks yield through a rising price-per-share metric, leaving token balances unchanged. The result is more predictable behavior for integrators, auditors and tax software, as well as a clearer cost basis for users. The roadmap also outlines a series of release milestones, including a formal codebase publication, a public testnet launch with a redesigned interface, and the completion of a multi-layered security review involving formal verification and manual audits. Aave Labs said the roadmap reflects the protocol’s “final stages of review, testing, and deployment,” and that additional documentation and launch preparation materials will be released in the coming weeks. But the most pointed strategic shift comes not from the codebase, but from Aave’s own governance forums. “Aave…
