    Bitmain cut prices on Bitcoin mining rigs on Dec. 23 after miner revenue per unit of hashrate fell in November.

  • Ethereum’s record staking queue looks bullish, but one corporate giant is secretly distorting the real signal
    CryptoSlate - 11:41 Dec 29, 2025
    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 post Ethereum’s record staking queue looks bullish, but one corporate giant is secretly distorting the real signal appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    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.

    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.

    In 2025, crypto regulation stopped being mostly about courtroom theater and started focusing on actual infrastructure. Debates over how or whether to regulate crypto became less philosophical and more operational. Regulators spent the year answering the “boring” questions that decide whether a market can scale: who is allowed to issue a “digital dollar,” what backs […] The post We mapped every major 2025 crypto regulation change to show you which rules actually protect your wallet appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Bitcoin ETF headlines have turned into a scoreboard with “record inflows,” “largest outflows ever,” and “institutions dumping.” The problem is that most stories isolate a single day or a single fund.

    On a cold ‘Betwixmas' December morning, the mood around Bitcoin feels familiar and strange at the same time. Familiar, because the story still swings between euphoria and anxiety.
