Dragonfly’s Rob Hadick says “there’s a lot of room” in crypto for more than one blockchain as networks race to win market share of tokenized assets. Solana and Ethereum will both thrive in the tokenization race and neither blockchain will push the other out of the space, says Dragonfly general partner Rob Hadick. “They are both Facebook,” Hadick told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on Wednesday, when asked which blockchain will gain market dominance like social media platform Facebook or fall behind like the once-popular MySpace. Hadick said that with growing interest in tokenization and increasing economic activity onchain, there’s room for multiple blockchains to coexist.  Read more

Trend Research’s 46,379 ETH purchase vaults the private company into the top tier of ETH treasuries, behind only SharpLink Gaming and BitMine Immersion Technologies. Trend Research purchased 46,379 Ether (ETH) on Wednesday to raise its holdings to about 580,000 ETH, making it larger than most public Ethereum treasuries tracked by CoinGecko. Only two listed companies, SharpLink Gaming and BitMine Immersion Technologies, currently report bigger ETH balances, with 859,853 ETH and 4,066,062 ETH, respectively. Trend Research is not a publicly listed company and therefore does not appear in most Ethereum treasury rankings. Still, it has drawn industry attention for its rapid ETH accumulation. Read more

Ethereum has been described by William Mougayar as a public good akin to the Internet. His framework values captured fees, wide flow value across apps and markets, and trust surplus from lower verification costs and counterparty risk, as dependency on the settlement layer grows over years, globally.

Ethereum (ETH) broke its 2021 all-time high in August, brushing $4,945 and a $600 billion market cap, while exchange balances hit record lows. Corporate treasuries and spot ETFs now control nearly 11% of the circulating supply. By every structural metric, ETH should feel like it's having a moment. It doesn't. No Bored Apes are selling […] The post Ethereum is vanishing from exchanges, and the massive wallets absorbing it prove you aren’t the target audience anymore appeared first on CryptoSlate.

This year, global power centers like Wall Street learned to love Ethereum—and Ethereum learned to love them back.

Ethereum is increasingly powering tokenized money, faster settlement and regulated onchain infrastructure — even as institutions avoid naming it outright. Wall Street’s adoption of Ethereum is closely tied to its ability to automate settlement through smart contracts, reducing reliance on slow, manual reconciliation processes. Stablecoins and tokenized dollars now serve as a primary entry point for banks, allowing regulated US dollar transfers to move continuously on Ethereum-based rails. Financial institutions often avoid naming Ethereum directly, instead describing it as neutral blockchain infrastructure that supports compliant financial systems. Read more

Ethereum’s transparency has long been one of its greatest strengths—but for many real-world applications, it has also become a structural limitation. From MEV-driven trading inefficiencies to data leakage in DeFi, gaming, and AI-driven workflows, the assumption that everything must be public in order to be verifiable is increasingly being challenged. TEN Protocol is built around […] The post TEN Protocol redefines Ethereum’s privacy with ‘compute in confidence’ approach appeared first on CryptoSlate.

If you’ve ever bought a stock and assumed you “owned it” the moment you hit confirm, you’ve already met the least glamorous part of markets: settlement. Settlement is the back-end handoff where the system ensures that the buyer’s cash and the seller’s security actually swap places for good, with no take-backs and no missing pieces.

Synthetix founder Kain Warwick expects other perpetual decentralized exchanges to follow Synthetix back to Ethereum, which is faster than ever. Perpetuals trading platform Synthetix is returning to Ethereum’s mainnet, with its founder arguing the network is now more than capable of supporting high-frequency financial applications after years of network congestion drove derivatives activity elsewhere. “By the time perp DEXs became a thing, the mainnet was too congested, but now we can run it back,” Synthetix founder Kain Warwick told Cointelegraph during an interview on Wednesday.  “It’s kind of crazy that there really hasn’t been a Perp DEX on mainnet,” he added, explaining that reduced demand after the perp DEX exodus, combined with ongoing scaling improvements, has made Ethereum layer 1 more viable again.

Ethereum trades near $2,800 after a 12% weekly drop, with analysts warning of further downside as key support levels continue to break.

Ethereum could see another rise in transaction speed in January, with developers considering raising the gas limit to 80 million after the next blob parameter-only hard fork. Transaction throughput on the Ethereum network is set to be boosted again next month, with developers aiming to increase Ethereum’s gas limit from 60 million to 80 million in January. Christine Kim, vice president of the research team at Galaxy Digital, shared a summary of the All Core Developers meeting on Monday, in which Nethermind representatives said developers should be ready to move forward with a gas limit increase after the next BPO hard fork on Jan. 7. Ethereum Foundation developer operations engineer Barnabas Busa, however, noted that two client-level optimizations are needed before another increase in the block gas limit — namely, partial blob responses on the execution layer and the max blobs flag on the consensus layer.
