A major security difference between the Ethereum ($ETH) and Cardano (ADA) blockchains has been highlighted amid a hack that led to the loss of $4.13 million. A Cardano DRep, known as “dori” on X, shared the security of Cardano over Ethereum in a post detailing how the compromise took place. Ethereum MEV design blamed for $4.13 million exploit According to dori, the hacker exploited a vulnerability on the DeFi protocol, Makinafi, on Ethereum. They argue that Ethereum’s transaction-ordering design allowed MEV bots to profit from the hack before the malicious actor did. Notably, due to Ethereum’s security structure, the MEV…

One of the strongest derivatives signals Ethereum has displayed in months is flashing. The volume of futures trading has increased by over 1,250%, which is uncommon without a significant change in the structure of the market. This is not random noise; rather, it is deliberate capital rotation back into $ETH rather than passive spot accumulation. Ethereum price stays pressured Technically, Ethereum is still under pressure on the price chart. The 200-day MA serves as a strong overhead ceiling around the $3,300-$3,400 range, and $ETH is still trading below its important moving averages. Price action has remained compressed and directionally undetermined…

According to analysts, the Federal Reserve’s next chairman nominee could be announced publicly this weekend. Analysts at the US-based financial news site InvestingLive stated that the latest information they received regarding the FED chairmanship process was shared last week, and at that time it was reported that Donald Trump could make his decision before or after his visit to Davos. With Trump’s departure from Davos yesterday and return to Washington, it is considered highly likely that the issue of the Fed chairmanship will be on the agenda this weekend. Analysts point out that Trump may have largely finalized his decision.…

The Senate Agriculture Committee announced Monday it will push an anticipated vote on a crypto market structure bill by two days, to accommodate a major snowstorm that continues to delay travel in and out of Washington. But the markup, initially scheduled for Tuesday and now set for Thursday, still faces plenty of hurdles. Those include the possibility that the vote will fail to gain the support of any Senate Democrats, and the likelihood that the federal government will shut down again on Friday night, pushing an already stalled crypto legislative process further down the list of lawmakers’ priorities. Democrats and…

Investing in crypto assets like ether, the native token of the Ethereum network, once followed a simple path: traders bought coins on platforms like Coinbase or Robinhood, or stored them in self-custody wallets such as MetaMask, and held them directly. Then came staking, or pledging a certain amount of cryptocurrencies to a network to validate transactions and earn rewards. This was seen as a way for investors to generate passive income while holding the tokens through crypto exchanges in anticipation of price appreciation. However, as crypto has moved closer to mainstream finance, new products such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that…

Changpeng “CZ” Zhao is pushing back on the idea that he had business ties to President Donald Trump’s family, calling the claims a full-on misunderstanding. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, CZ told CNBC, “There’s no business relationships whatsoever.” He said people were reading too much into the events that followed his 2025 pardon, especially around the use of a stablecoin linked to Trump’s relatives. The rumors began after Trump’s October 2025 pardon, which came a year after CZ was released from prison. He had served four months following a 2023 guilty plea for allowing money laundering at…

Writing on X in response to Justin Drake’s announcement that the Ethereum Foundation (EF) had created a dedicated post-quantum cryptography team, Franklin Bi, a general partner at Pantera Capital, challenged conventional assumptions about which sector is better positioned for the quantum transition. “People are over-estimating how quickly Wall Street will adapt to post-quantum cryptography,” he wrote. “Like any systemic software upgrade, it’ll be slow & chaotic with single points of failure for years.” Quantum computing continues to advance from a theoretical field to practical applications, and as more progress is being made, so is the attendant threat it poses to…
