Cryptocurrency analytics company Novaque Research, in its latest assessment of Solana’s price outlook, pointed to a notable divergence in the market. According to the report, despite increasing selling pressure in the futures market, whale accumulation is regaining strength in the spot market.

This, the analysis argued, points to late-cycle market behavior and makes leveraged rallies fragile. On the other hand, data…

The Ethereum Foundation and a group of major crypto wallet developers are rolling out a new security standard designed to stop users from accidentally signing away their funds, a problem that has fueled some of the industry’s biggest hacks and scams. The initiative, called “Clear Signing,” aims to replace the confusing walls of code users currently see when approving Ethereum transactions with simple, human-readable explanations of what they’re actually agreeing to. The effort comes after years of phishing attacks and wallet drains that often boil down to the same issue: users unknowingly approving malicious transactions they don’t understand. The Ethereum…
