Since its inception, blockchain has been the foundation on which decentralized assets such as cryptocurrencies are built. Although they bring transparency, they’re not very scalable, especially globally. So, a blockchain that scales to global proportions can, in theory, serve as the infrastructure on which businesses can build. There are two capabilities that matter most here. The first is economic: the ability to move very small amounts of money without fees eating into the payment. The second is about trust: the ability to prove that data existed at a certain time and has not been altered since. Both capabilities benefit from…

Coinbase analysts have adopted a “neutral” Bitcoin and broader crypto market outlook for Q3 2026. After printing a yearly low of $57.8K in H2 2026, $BTC has recovered by nearly 10% but has failed to reclaim $68K or the $70K level. According to Coinbase analysts, led by Colin Basco, Bitcoin appears to be transitioning from a corrective phase toward accumulation. He cited $BTC’s Supply in Loss metric, which was at 50% and matched previous market cycle bottoms. With valuation compressed, we read this as the early innings of a bottoming process rather than a durable low already in place. Source:…

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has outlined what he sees as a potentially major evolution of Ethereum’s transactions. He claims recent work on account abstraction, state design, and cryptographic proof aggregation is contributing to a clearer separation between what transactions do and what must be proven before they can do it. Buterin said recent research surrounding EIP-8141, alternative state models, keyed nonces and recursive STARK-based mempools has produced a more explicit conceptual model of transactions. The key is to distinguish between two components: “actions” and “dependencies.” “An action is an effect that a transaction has,” Buterin explained. The distinction may sound…

While the Shiba Inu community remains focused on the sharp decline in reported Shibarium transaction activity, long-term $SHIB proponent Mazrael emphasized that the network continues to reduce $SHIB’s circulating supply. Mazrael made the disclosure over the weekend after an X user asked whether Bone ShibaSwap (BONE) remains relevant to the Shiba Inu ecosystem. In response, Mazrael explained that BONE remains directly connected to Shiba Inu’s burn mechanism through Shibarium. As the network’s gas token, BONE is collected through transaction fees. A portion of those fees is then used to facilitate $SHIB burns through ShibTorch. Shibarium Burns Hundreds of Millions of…

Circle expanded its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol to native $EURC transfers on September 2, moving the interoperability service beyond its original focus on $USDC. According to Circle’s official announcement, the euro-denominated stablecoin can initially move between Ethereum and Base through the same production infrastructure used for $USDC. $EURC Starts With Ethereum and Base The first deployment connects $EURC on Ethereum and Base. Circle says CCTP uses a burn-and-mint model: tokens are destroyed on the source chain and newly issued on the destination chain. That process leaves users with native $EURC on the receiving network rather than a wrapped representation issued by…
