Bitcoin and Ethereum both crashed about 12% in November and over 30% in Q4. But these reasons will determine which coin performs better in December.

Markets open in green after a week of recovery, but the movement isn't enough to call it bullish yet. The death cross looms large over both Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Ethereum is up nearly 11% on the week, and top ETH treasury firm BitMine is still adding to its $12 billion stash.

Gold has popped 4,000% following CFTC's approval in the 1970s, leaving Bitcoin and Ethereum with a similar scaling setup. On Thursday, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced that spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) products will begin trading for the first time on its registered futures exchanges. Here are three reasons why this is a big deal for the top two cryptocurrencies heading into 2026. Key takeaways: Read more

Corporate Ether acquisitions declined 81% in the past three months, but the largest corporate ETH holders continued to scoop up billions of dollars in Ether. Cryptocurrency markets saw another week of consolidation following last week’s long-awaited market recovery. While Bitcoin (BTC) remained above the key $90,000 psychological level, investor sentiment continued to be dominated by “fear,” with a marginal improvement from 20 to 25 within the week, according to CoinMarketCap’s Fear & Greed index. In the wider crypto space, the Ether (ETH) treasury trade appears to be unwinding, as the monthly acquisitions by Ethereum digital asset treasuries (DATs) fell 81% in the past three months from August’s peak.

Bitcoin is back below the $90,000 mark as Ethereum flirts with another dip below $3,000—all while major stock indices stay green.

Ethereum holds above key support at $3,150. Analysts point to $3,700 as the next target, with resistance ahead at $3,900 and $4,800.

A 25% dip in Ethereum’s voting participation coincided with a bug in the Prysm consensus client shortly after the Fusaka upgrade, with the network just 9% away from losing finality. Shortly after the Fusaka network upgrade, the Ethereum network saw a sharp drop in validator participation after a bug in the Prysm consensus client knocked a chunk of votes offline. According to a Thursday Prysm announcement, version v7.0.0 of the client unnecessarily generated old states while processing outdated attestations, a flaw that Prysm core developer Terence Tsao said prevented the nodes from functioning correctly. Developers recommended that users launch the client with the “--disable-last-epoch-targets” flag as a temporary workaround. Beaconcha.in network data shows that at epoch 411,448, the network achieved only 75% sync participation (the percentage of 512 randomly selected nodes signing chain heads) and 74.7% voting participation. Voting participation being down 25% is under 9% shy of the network losing the two-th...

Ethereum completed its Fusaka upgrade on Dec. 3, marking one of the network’s most essential steps toward long-term scalability. The upgrade builds on a series of changes since the 2022 Merge and follows the earlier Dencun and Pectra releases, which lowered Layer 2 fees and increased blob capacity. Fusaka goes further by restructuring how Ethereum […] The post Ethereum prepares a controversial 2026 overhaul that will forcibly strip power from the network’s most dominant players appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Ethereum holds above $3,200 and key CME support zone, with rising volume and RSI breakout signaling possible move toward $3,700.

Exclusive data shows that MEV attacks hit hundreds of traders on Ethereum each month and continue to result in millions in losses. Maximal extractable value (MEV) refers to the economic value diverted from users by block builders through the manipulation of transaction ordering. The most harmful type of MEV are sandwich attacks, where an attacker simultaneously frontruns and backruns a victim’s swaps. This gives the victim a suboptimal execution price while the attacker pockets a spread. Most MEV activity occurs on Ethereum because it has high activity on DEXs and features an open block-building market that exposes order flow to searchers. In this article, Cointelegraph Research provides insights into sandwiching activity from November 2024 to October 2025, based on a data set of more than 95,000 sandwich attacks exclusively provided by the data platform EigenPhi.  Our research indicates that, despite the slowdown in sandwich extraction, the risk to ordinary users persists. While attacks result in about $60 m...

How Ethereum's new PeerDAS feature slashes fees, boosts data capacity and paves the way for lightning-fast user experiences on the network. Ethereum’s second major upgrade of the year, Fusaka, has gone live, bringing forward supercharged data capacity, reduced transaction costs and enhanced usability.   The upgrade officially went live on the Ethereum mainnet at 9:49 pm UTC on Wednesday at Epoch 411392, with the headline feature being peer data availability sampling (PeerDAS), which provides significant scaling capabilities to Ethereum and layer 2s. Earlier this week, the Ethereum Foundation posted a detailed thread via the Ethereum X account, breaking down what it means for users, developers, node operators, Layer-2s and rollups, and enterprises.  Read more

Corporate Ether acquisitions continue to decline, leaving the world’s largest corporate ETH holder to scoop up billions in Ether, aiming to amass 5% of the total supply. The Ethereum treasury trade appears to be unwinding as monthly acquisitions continue to decline since the August high, though the largest players continue to scoop up billions of the Ether supply. Investments from Ethereum digital asset treasuries (DATs) fell 81% in the past three months, from 1.97 million Ether (ETH) in August to 370,000 ETH in November, according to Bitwise, an asset management firm. “ETH DAT bear continues,” wrote Max Shennon, senior research associate at Bitwise, in a Tuesday X post.

Ethereum trades near $3,065 with $30B volume after it tested the $2,800 support; high leverage and falling open interest signal volatility ahead.

Ethereum’s Fusaka hard fork goes live, boosting data availability, increasing throughput up to 8x, and lowering Layer 2 transaction fees.

Bitcoin has fallen from October’s record near $126,080 as markets have cooled, while XRP, Ethereum and emerging layer-2 project Bitcoin Hyper have been framed as some of the best options in discussions about crypto positioning into 2026.

Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade activates Dec. 3, deploying a suite of changes designed to increase rollup throughput, tighten gas markets, and add native support for passkey-style signatures. The fork introduces PeerDAS data-availability sampling, doubles the default block gas limit, and prepares the network for blob-only parameter expansions scheduled for later this month and January. Fusaka is […] The post Ethereum gets huge mainnet upgrade tomorrow – Here’s why you should care about ETH’s ‘sloping side road’ appeared first on CryptoSlate.

Bitwise Onchain Solutions discusses how Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade trades big‑bang hard forks for faster, targeted changes that make the network more strategic. Ethereum’s upcoming Fusaka upgrade on Wednesday is being framed as just another scaling step, but it marks a shift in how the network ships change. Instead of massive, multi‑year overhauls, Fusaka is the first proof that Ethereum can deliver focused, high‑impact upgrades in something closer to six months. At the center of Fusaka is Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)‑7594, Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS), the technical headline that changes how Ethereum handles data from rollups without forcing node operators to buy data‑center hardware or compromise on decentralization, in line with the roadmap the Ethereum Foundation laid out for the next 12 months. “Ethereum is now trying to be more strategic in what it’s delivering and how quickly it’s delivering it,” Chris Berry, head of onchain engineering at Bitwise Onchain Solutions, one of the longes...

Bitcoin fell as low as $85,000 today, with Ethereum likewise down nearly 10%. Prediction markets are beginning to reflect what the charts are suggesting.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin is rapidly expanding on Ethereum rather than the company’s native XRP Ledger (XRPL). According to CryptoSlate data, RLUSD’s total circulating supply has surged to $1.26 billion within 12 months of its launch. Of this, roughly $1.03 billion, or 82% of the total supply, resides on Ethereum, while the $235 million balance is on […] The post RLUSD supply hit $1.26B, and 82% of it now sits on Ethereum, not XRPL appeared first on CryptoSlate.
