Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has finally addressed some concerns over the lengthening Ethereum staking exit queue, which has now grown to 45 days. His response came after Galaxy Digital’s head of DeFi, Michael Marcantonio, called the exit queue length “troubling” on X and compared it to Solana which only needs two days to unstake.

Nasdaq’s Sept. 8 filing to launch tokenized stocks is being called a landmark step for Wall Street, but experts warn the exchange could face major hurdles in adapting blockchain trading to existing U.S. settlement and regulatory systems. If approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), this would mark the first time tokenized securities are listed on a major U.S. exchange. But with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) already processing billions of equity trades daily, integrating blockchain-based settlement could be both costly and complex, experts say. On April 9, the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC), a subdivision…

Buyers have defended the $4,520–$4,547 area, where short-term EMAs are stacked, keeping price action constructive.

A Fed rate cut in September is increasingly considered a strong possibility. JPMorgan announced that it expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at its September meeting, despite uncertainties surrounding inflation data. The bank forecasts the August Consumer Price Index (CPI) to remain at 2.9% year-over-year, and the core CPI at 3.1%. However, it noted that higher-than-expected inflation data could lead to a rate cut being postponed until October or December. JPMorgan also highlighted the potential market impact of inflation data.
