Ethereum’s record staking queue looks bullish, but one corporate giant is secretly distorting the real signal
A single corporate treasury has effectively hijacked Ethereum’s validator mechanics, executing a billion-dollar maneuver that has flipped the network’s flow data from a steady exodus to a sudden traffic jam.For the first time in six months, the queue to stake ETH, locking up tokens to secure the blockchain in exchange for yield, significantly outstrips the line to exit.Data compiled by the Ethereum Validator Queue tracker shows approximately 734,299 ETH waiting for entry, implying a mandatory delay of nearly two weeks before these coins can begin earning rewards. By comparison, the exit queue holds roughly 343,179 ETH, with a delay of…
Alt5 Sigma faces scrutiny after missing filings and hiring an auditor whose licence expired earlier this year. Trump-linked crypto deal draws attention as governance gaps and auditor penalties raise oversight concerns. Board exits, audit delays, and legal disclosures put Alt5 Sigma at risk of Nasdaq delisting. Alt5 Sigma, a US-listed crypto firm that struck a high-profile deal with a Trump-backed digital asset venture, is facing growing regulatory and governance scrutiny after a series of audit, filing, and board-level disruptions, Financial Times reported.

Uniswap executed a massive burn of 100 million UNI tokens worth nearly $600 million following a nearly unanimous governance vote to overhaul the protocol’s economic model. The “UNIfication” proposal activates a fee switch for Uniswap v2 and v3 on the Ethereum mainnet which redirects a portion of trading fees toward permanent token burns. This shift transitions UNI from a pure governance asset into a deflationary token where ongoing supply reductions are directly linked to trading volume and protocol revenue. Leading decentralised exchange Uniswap has burned 100 million UNI tokens worth about US$596 million (AU$911.8 million) after token holders approved its…
Financial giant Mirae Asset Group is in negotiations to acquire Korbit for up to $100 million in a deal aimed at securing a fully licensed entry into the South Korean crypto market. The acquisition is being led by a non-financial affiliate to navigate strict domestic regulations that separate traditional banking from virtual asset businesses. This move follows a massive $10 billion merger between Naver Financial and Upbit’s operator as major traditional firms consolidate power ahead of expected institutional easing. Global financial company Mirae Asset Group is looking to purchase Korbit, one of South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchanges. The deal, according…
Police in India arrested a former worker involved in a customer data theft and a 20-million-dollar ransom demand.

Armstrong credited Hyderabad Police for the arrest in a post on X on Friday,…
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan expects Bitcoin to enter a period of steadier gains and lower volatility as institutional investors replace speculative retail traders.

Despite a recent drop from a record high of 126,000 dollars in October, experts remain optimistic as major banks and firms continue to adopt crypto. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan is back again with some bold predictions for Bitcoin (BTC). This time, however, he expects BTC to deliver “strong” but “less dramatic” returns over the next…
What if Bitcoin blocks signaled the New Year? Creating Universal Bitcoin Time but trapping holders in a tax nightmare
Bitcoin miners produced block 929,699 on Dec. 27. What if that was the signal for a New Year’s moment, rather than our traditional calendar?The pitch is that block height, the ordered count of blocks every full node can verify, can act as a calendar layer for a market that trades and settles across jurisdictions.For argument’s sake, we’ll use Bitcoin Block Explorer and the last observed chain tip in this snapshot at height 929,699, timestamped Sat, 27 Dec 2025 09:47:19 UTC, with a mempool around 5,324 transactions at the time of the page’s update.The same source listed difficulty near 148.26T.According to…

Ethereum’s 2026 roadmap centers on two tracks: expanding rollup data capacity through blobs while pushing base-layer execution higher through gas limit changes.Those gas limit changes depend on validators moving from re-executing blocks to verifying ZK execution proofs.The first track is already anchored by Fusaka, which shipped Dec. 3, 2025.FusakaFusaka sets up PeerDAS plus blob parameter only (BPO) changes that can raise blob throughput in measured steps, according to ethereum.org.The second track is less mechanized because it relies on draft EIPs, client implementation, and validator operations that have to stay within decentralization constraints, including bandwidth, block propagation, and proving market structure.…
Asia is quietly building a counterweight to the dollar stablecoin empire, and the West isn’t ready
The following is a guest post and opinion from Anurag Arjun, Founder of Avail.The global stablecoin narrative is about to shift fast. What began as a US-dominated experiment in digital liquidity is morphing into a multipolar fight over who controls the rails of tomorrow’s monetary system. And the most consequential moves are unfolding in Asia—quietly, deliberately, and at increasing speed.For a decade, dollar-backed tokens (such as USDT and USDC) have dominated the market. But 2025 is the year that the reign begins to crack. Behind closed doors in Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Jakarta, a different plan is being…
