Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has signaled a fundamental shift in the blockchain’s roadmap that declares the era of the “branded shard” effectively over.On Feb. 3, Buterin argued that the industry’s previous “rollup-centric” vision no longer makes sense, citing faster scaling on the main Ethereum layer and the sluggish pace of decentralization among major rollups.This philosophical correction lands squarely on the Coinbase-backed Base network.Over the past years, the Ethereum layer-2 solution has grown into one of the largest consumer-facing rollups in the crypto ecosystem, with more than $11 billion in total value secured (TVS).However, Buterin’s new roadmap position calls into question…

Julio Moreno, head of research at CryptoQuant, recently declared that Bitcoin is in a bear market that could extend through the third quarter of 2026.He’s not alone. Matt Hougan at Bitwise and a growing chorus of institutional voices are using the “bear” label more freely than at any point since early 2023.Yet the same analysts often hedge with structure: many institutions are holding or adding exposure even as they acknowledge the regime shift.This creates a definitional problem. If a bear market no longer means capitulation and exodus, what does it mean?And if the famous four-year cycle is dead, as VanEck,…

Solana dropped to $90 amid massive liquidations across the crypto market. Bitcoin and Ethereum fell to under $73,000 and $2,150. Standard Chartered forecasts SOL rally to $250 in 2026 and $2,000 by 2030. Cryptocurrencies are bearish, and Solana’s price has experienced one of the sharpest declines among top altcoins. In the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency has dropped nearly 10% to under $91, with many traders caught off guard amid heightened market volatility. As can be seen in the crypto heat map below, Solana’s plunge aligns with broader market pressure. Billions of dollars in leveraged positions have been wiped out…

Ripple’s XRP dropped nearly 5% in 24 hours and 20% in the past week. Bitcoin’s dip to $72,900 saw XRP come close to breaking below $1.50. XRP saw over $19 million in ETF inflows on February 3, 2026. XRP has fallen sharply, shedding about 20% over the past week to trade near the critical $1.50 level. The Ripple cryptocurrency, which has declined by about 5% over the past 24 hours amid a broader crypto market downturn, risks dipping below a key level despite witnessing a fresh uptick in exchange-traded fund inflows. Overall bearish pressure has led the cryptocurrency market cap…

The White House’s end-of-February deadline for banks and crypto firms to resolve the “stablecoin yield” debate exposes a structural fault line that was never going to stay buried.This isn’t a speed bump on the road to crypto-friendly regulation. Instead, it’s a core collision that happens when digital dollars scale large enough to threaten the business model of deposit-taking itself.According to multiple reports, the White House convened banks and crypto representatives with an explicit mandate: find common ground on whether platforms can offer rewards on stablecoin holdings, or risk broader market structure legislation collapsing in 2026.Reuters confirmed the summit’s focus on…

Hyperliquid has broken ranks with the broader digital asset market, posting a massive double-digit rally while Bitcoin and other major altcoins like XRP suffer from the bear market.According to CryptoSlate’s data, Hyperliquid’s HYPE is one of the crypto market’s top performers over the past two weeks, jumping roughly 71% to a high of $35, its highest price since last December.This price performance reflects crypto traders’ positive sentiment about the protocol’s potential to expand product offerings.Notably, the price action stands in sharp contrast to the ugly tape elsewhere. Over the past weeks, a sharp risk-off wave has hit corners of the…

Ethereum was cheaper than expected in 2020, and rollup decentralization was slower than promised in 2021. Those two realities are forced the ecosystem to rewrite what “a layer-2” is for.Vitalik Buterin’s recent post on Ethereum Research bluntly frames the shift: the original vision of layer-2 (L2) blockchains as “branded shards” of Ethereum is no longer viable, and the ecosystem requires a new path.However, this isn’t abandonment. Instead, it is a re-tiering of expectations and a sharper definition of what different types of rollups are actually building.The question now is the new job description, since the premise underlying the rollup-centric roadmap…

While price action has always been volatile and, arguably, exciting, the Bitcoin network itself is built to feel boring. Ten minutes per block, tick tock, rinse and repeat, a metronome you can set your watch to.Then every so often, it gets very human again.Early this morning, block production slowed enough that the average block time briefly spiked to 19.33 minutes. On the surface, it appears to be a technical issue. Below, it reads like a real-time pulse check of an industry that operates on thin margins, loud fans, cheap power, and a lot of stress.Bitcoin block times over the past…

Nevada regulators sued Coinbase on February 2, 2026, to block its new sports prediction markets, alleging the platform offers unlicensed gambling. The state recently won a similar fight against Polymarket, which was forced to geo-block Nevada users after a judge ruled that federal oversight doesn’t override state gambling laws. Coinbase argues it is a federally regulated exchange via its partner Kalshi, but states like Massachusetts and Tennessee have already joined Nevada in issuing bans. Nevada gaming regulators have moved to shut down Coinbase’s new sports prediction market platform, escalating a broader clash between state gambling laws and federally regulated event-contract…

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds recorded $561.8 million in net inflows on Feb. 2, ending a four-day streak of nearly $1.5 billion in outflows.Investors could interpret the number as a return of conviction after punishing outflows, but Jamie Coutts, chief crypto analyst at Real Vision, offered a different read.According to him:“Aggregate ETF flows are not buying the dip. Net institutional demand is coming almost entirely from a shrinking group of Treasury-style buyers with remaining balance-sheet capacity. That’s not sustainable under continued pressure. A durable Bitcoin bottom likely requires these actors to reverse their positioning — not just slow their selling.”The…
