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.

Crypto prices are falling again Monday, but Bitcoin, XRP, and Ethereum funds are coming off a strong week for flows following recent losses.

Buterin warns that quantum computers could threaten Ethereum’s cryptography sooner than expected and outlines how the network can prepare safely. Buterin sees a nontrivial 20% chance that quantum computers could break current cryptography before 2030, and he argues that Ethereum should begin preparing for that possibility. A key risk involves ECDSA. Once a public key is visible onchain, a future quantum computer could, in theory, use it to recover the corresponding private key. Buterin’s quantum emergency plan involves rolling back blocks, freezing EOAs and moving funds into quantum-resistant smart contract wallets. Read more

Eclipse combines high-throughput execution with Ethereum settlement in a way no other L2 has attempted. Cointelegraph Research breaks down the architecture and the milestones that will define its trajectory. The majority of Ethereum rollups have converged on a single model, in which the EVM is still the execution engine. So parallel execution remains a vague ambition rather than a feature of most Ethereum L2s. Eclipse takes a different path. It brings the Solana Virtual Machine into an Ethereum-anchored environment and restructures the rollup stack around it. The latest report by Cointelegraph Research examines how this design emerged, the problems it solves and what questions it raises for the broader layer-2 ecosystem. It highlights where Eclipse diverges from existing rollups and why these differences matter for developers, users and institutions. Read the full report here to explore Eclipse’s architecture, economics and path toward verifiable rollup status. Read more

Ether price held $2,800 support amid ETF inflows and undervalued signals, but $3,000 resistance and Bank of Japan rate hike fears stopped the recovery. Ether (ETH) fell to $2,800 on Monday, failing to hold $3,000 as surging expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike unnerved the market. Meanwhile, technicals and onchain data sent mixed signals on Ether’s ability to buck the downtrend.  Key points: Ethereum price fell 5.5% on Monday, dropping below $3,000 again amid Bank of Japan rate-hike fears.

Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said Ethereum’s gas limit could climb beyond three times next year, with some developers pushing for a fivefold increase. Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said the goal to significantly increase Ethereum’s gas limit to 180 million next year is a baseline rather than a best-case scenario. “I think that’s the floor, that’s the minimum, I think we can go higher than that,” Sassano said during an interview on the Bankless podcast on Friday, just a day after Ethereum’s gas limit, which is the maximum amount of work the network allows in each block, was raised from 45 million to 60 million. “The general consensus that has been set by the core developers and researchers is that they want to aim for at least a 3X increase in the gas limit for the next couple of years,” he said.  Read more

Despite the market downturn and some OG investors selling, the biggest Ether whales continue their steady accumulation, while Ether ETF buyer sentiment continues to improve. While some Ethereum OGs are cashing out, the top 1% richest Ether holders continue to quietly accumulate the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency, despite the market downturn. An Ethereum initial coin offering (ICO) participant sold another $60 million in Ether (ETH) on Wednesday after generating a 9,500-fold return on investment over the past 11 years. During the ICO, the investor purchased their Ether for about $0.31 per token, spending a total of $79,000 on 254,000 Ether tokens, now worth over $757 million, according to blockchain data platform Lookonchain.  Read more
