🚨 ETHEREUM FOUNDATION SUED OVER MANDATE REQUIRING EMPLOYEES TO PLEDGE TO “TAKE HIS OR HER OWN LIFE WITH A SWORD”

Former Ethereum Foundation employee Kayleen Fulton alleges she was fired just 13 days after disclosing her ovarian cancer diagnosis and 12 days after organizing opposition to the Foundation’s controversial Mandate.

According to the lawsuit:

• The Mandate contained a pledge to commit suicide with a sword for violating its terms.

• 79 employees voted to remove the provision, but the Foundation published it unchanged.

• Vitalik Buterin allegedly promised “significant changes” before the document was permanently inscribed on Ethereum.

• 53 employees signed a letter opposing forced affirmation of the Mandate. Both organizers were subsequently fired.

• The plaintiff alleges she was fired just 13 days after disclosing her cancer diagnosis and 12 days after organizing the protest.

The lawsuit alleges disability discrimination and retaliation. The allegations have not been proven in court.

🇺🇸 COINBASE WINS FULL FEDERAL APPROVAL TO RUN A NATIONAL TRUST BANK

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved Coinbase National Trust Company on Friday, Coinbase said Monday, upgrading the conditional approval it got in April.

It's a trust bank, not a commercial bank. It can't take deposits or make loans.

Coinbase says it will start with crypto custody under one federal regulator, with stablecoin issuance and payments planned after that.

"Trusted custody is essential for bringing more of the financial system onchain," CEO Brian Armstrong said.

Ripple and Circle already hold full trust charters, and a community bank group is suing the OCC to stop crypto firms entering banking this way.

NEW: Solo miners find 36 Bitcoin blocks in 2026 so far, worth about 113.1 BTC including fees.

Seven land in the first week of November alone.

The latest: a miner with about 581 TH/s solves block 974,893 on CKPool Solo, against a network running near 1,000 EH/s.

CKPool's operator puts the odds for a miner that size at roughly one in 35 per year.

Long odds, but not zero.

NEW: California orders Bitcoin ATM operator Coinflip to pay more than $4.8M to victims of scams.

Regulators at the DFPI find that since 2021 Coinflip fails to properly identify users or flag suspicious activity across roughly 500 kiosks.

Some transactions break the state's $1,000 daily limit, and Coinflip must also return over $350K in excessive fees.

The playbook is familiar: a fake support call, a cash withdrawal, and a QR code that sends the coins to the scammer.

No real bank, agency or help desk asks you to protect your money by feeding a Bitcoin ATM.
