Inspired by Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin playbook, Joseph Lubin believes Ethereum treasury companies could provide outsized returns on yield and investment opportunities to their Bitcoin counterparts. Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph at Token2049 in Singapore, the Ethereum co-founder unpacked his thesis for why Ether (ETH) digital asset treasuries (DATs) present superior opportunities to the Bitcoin (BTC) treasury movement popularized by Saylor’s Strategy Bitcoin play. “I’d much rather have something that potentially has more impact. It certainly is as solid as Bitcoin, and I would argue more solid because of the functionality and the organic demand for it to pay for transactions and…

U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis is pushing to eliminate taxes on small Bitcoin transactions, a move aimed at reshaping how the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) treats everyday crypto spending. Currently, the IRS classifies cryptocurrency as property, meaning each transaction, no matter how small, could trigger a capital gains report. This has long been viewed as a barrier to using Bitcoin for daily purchases. Lummis’s proposal aims to simplify this process and promote broader cryptocurrency adoption. As she finalizes her plans, analysts advise investors to monitor new legislative developments, particularly regarding the de minimis exemption threshold, inflation adjustments, and the timeline for…

Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) made important assessments about the future of the cryptocurrency industry in the Threadguy podcast broadcast he attended today. CZ said during a livestream, “The cryptocurrency industry won’t always be a smooth ride. Even strong founders, strong projects, and strong communities will face challenges from time to time. However, as long as the industry continues to do the right thing and build together, there are many different areas for deep development. This industry will continue to grow thanks to developers.” Zhao also touched on the importance of blockchain technology, saying, “Blockchain is a…

Summary ETH price trades near $4,490, consolidating between key support at $4,450 and resistance at $4,600 after a rally driven by ETF optimism. On-chain metrics remain strong, with rising staking, DeFi activity, and capital rotation back into Ethereum from altcoins. Bullish scenario: A breakout above $4,600 could trigger a move toward $4,800–$5,200, supported by ETF inflows and the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. Bearish risk: A drop below $4,450 may lead to liquidations, sending ETH down to $4,200 or lower. Outlook: The Ethereum price prediction stays cautiously bullish while $4,450 holds as key support. After a quick rally on ETF optimism, ETH…

The third quarter is turning out to be a tough period for companies that followed in the footsteps of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy). The stock prices of these companies are slipping as their total share value dip below the worth of their crypto holdings. Several digital asset treasuries, or DATs, began buying back their own stocks. FT reporter Nikou Asgari says this may be a sign of imminent collapse. Summary The stock prices of several Strategy copycats peaked shortly after the announcement of the cryptocurrency pivot. Now they have to borrow up to $250 million to repurchase…

Block founder Jack Dorsey has called for a federal tax exemption on everyday Bitcoin transactions, urging for the revival of a legislative effort that fell short just months ago when pro-crypto senators ran out of time to attach critical tax reforms to President Trump’s massive reconciliation bill. “We need a de minimis tax exemption for everyday bitcoin transactions,” Dorsey tweeted, as his payments company announced it is debuting a new Bitcoin payments and crypto-integrated wallet targeting small businesses using its Square point-of-sales system. “Working on it. If this is of interest to you, please tell your Senators/House member!” Senator Cynthia…

Ethereum developers are preparing for the network’s second major upgrade this year, known as Fusaka, set to go live at the end of November or beginning of December, pending final testnet results. Fusaka — a blend of the names Fulu and Osaka — consists of two simultaneous upgrades to Ethereum’s consensus and execution layers, respectively. The upgrade is focused on making the Ethereum blockchain more scalable and efficient, and should benefit institutions and users as transaction costs on rollup networks should fall further, while operating nodes should become less cumbersome and expensive for newcomers looking to run nodes. Fusaka includes…
