Ethereum’s latest All Core Devs dwelled on process, not just code: whether to honor a previously stated 30-day window between client releases and the first testnet fork as the Fusaka upgrade inches forward. Some participants pushed to reaffirm the commitment so infrastructure and app teams have time to adapt; others argued for flexibility to avoid broader roadmap slippage. The debate unfolded against a backdrop of mixed devnet results. On Devnet-3, a planned non-finality exercise ran long, per Barnabas Busa from the Dev Ops team. “We wanted to do approximately two days first, and now we’re hitting day five,” he said,…

Decentralized exchanges (DEX) processed a combined $1.15 trillion in spot and perpetual contract volumes during August, marking the first time monthly DEX activity surpassed the $1 trillion threshold.

Ethereum price is down by more than 5% today, trading around $4,300. This marks one of its sharpest daily drops in weeks. Yet, monthly gains remain intact at more than 13%, showing that the broader uptrend is not broken. The question now is whether today’s fall is just noise or the start of something deeper. On-chain and technical signals suggest the dip may not last long, with profit booking easing and whales stepping in. Profit Taking Eases As Whales Add $1 Billion ETH The Spent Coins Age Band, which tracks when long-held coins are sold, has dropped to a month-low…

Japanese cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck, whose Netherlands-based holding company listed the trading platform on the Nasdaq last year (CNCK), has acquired Aplo, a digital asset prime brokerage firm regulated in France by the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF). The acquisition will help Coincheck, a popular exchange in Japan, expand into Europe, the companies said on Tuesday. The financial terms of the deal were not revealed. Coincheck was established in Tokyo, Japan, in 2014, having rebranded from an earlier bitcoin wallet and payment company called ResuPress, founded in 2012 by Koichiro Wada and Yusuke Otsuka. Coincheck Group N.V., which is headquartered in…

Ethereum’s price today is around $4,355, which is a little lower than it was after a rough August when it kept going back and forth between $4,200 support and $4,800 resistance. The market is moving up inside a channel, and traders are divided on whether the next big move will be a breakout or a correction. Recent data shows how fragile the balance is. Whale flows show that there is still a lot of selling pressure, with $12.8 million in net outflows on August 30. Leveraged positions near $4,200 are also at risk of cascading liquidations. At the same time,…

Ethereum remains in a corrective phase after failing to break convincingly above its all-time high near $4.9K. The price has slipped below key supports, raising doubts about short-term momentum. The coming sessions are likely to determine whether ETH maintains its broader bullish trajectory or enters a deeper correction. ETH Price: Technical Analysis By Shayan The Daily Chart On the daily chart, ETH continues to trade within its ascending channel, though momentum has clearly weakened following the rejection at the channel’s upper boundary. The asset has now pulled back toward the midline support around $4.2K, which has repeatedly acted as a…

Rumors are flying online that Binance may be offloading huge amounts of XRP. There are speculations that the exchange could also be influencing XRP’s price through wash trading, by shifting tokens between wallets at high speed to make trading activity look bigger than it really is. How Did The Claim Start? In a recent post on X, an account with the name Pumpius claimed that Binance may be purposely keeping pressure on XRP’s price. According to the thread, the exchange is driving the token lower to discourage retail investors, while bigger players and insiders quietly stock up at cheaper levels.…

Tech giants like Google and Amazon are in the business of predicting where society is headed, and in recent months, both companies have started making moves to corner the development of AI agents—automated assistants authorized to zip around the internet, completing complex tasks on behalf of their human overlords and other machines.  The push to develop a formidable AI agent economy is still far from complete. But when robots are eventually let loose en masse to transact efficiently with both the existing economy and each other, experts predict their productivity and output will rival that of humans.  The main question…
