The Aptos community now stands at a critical crossroads. Now with this proposal to decimate staking rewards by almost 50%, the timing is incredibly suspect.

So, the SEC punted again. Big surprise. For one, they’re kicking the can down the road on Grayscale’s Ethereum ETF, which would let you earn staking rewards. Now suppose that they decide to wait until June 2025 to announce it. Life goes on as the world continues to turn, but...
