PANews reported on January 31 that Eric Conner, a core developer who has announced his withdrawal from the Ethereum community, posted on the X platform that "Solana is the core circle in Washington", and Ethereum is terrible, and no one in the Trump administration supports Ethereum.

In response, Joseph Lubin, founder of Consensys and co-founder of Ethereum, said: “As far as I know, a project of the Trump family recently purchased more than $250 million worth of ETH so that they can build a DeFi business.”
