AI summary of the linked article

Week in Ethereum News for July 20, 2024 reports on the Pectra upgrade, security incidents, and market data, and announces that the newsletter itself is being discontinued. Core developers kept EOF in Pectra for now, pending extensive testing and fuzzing across clients, though Geth strongly opposed it. The newsletter reports a $230M WazirX exploit via multisig compromise and a $11.6M LiFi exploit, and says Virgil Griffith's sentence was reduced by 7 months. Spot ETH ETFs are set to launch in the US on July 23, and ETH was trading at $3,488 at the time of writing.

Reading this today I thought that it is actually a very specific flavor of Ethereum news. Kudos to them for sticking to their guns, …or maybe not?
Sometimes I feel like their newsletter would feel more alive if they‘d cover more adjacent topics. And if they‘d remove other topics, like the LST stats, which they have there every week.

But then again, them sticking to their guns and keeping it simple is what made it work. Albeit, it doesn‘t seem to work for them anymore…
