An Ethereum ($ETH) whale that had been largely inactive for about three years has become active again. According to on-chain data, the address in question transferred millions of dollars worth of $ETH to the Kraken exchange, and it was calculated that if the transaction had been made for selling purposes, the investor could have realized a loss of approximately $6 million. The address 0x7C5…77b86 withdrew a total of 23,834.17 $ETH between February 15 and March 21, 2022, at an average price of $2,723.2. At that time, the total value of these Ethereums was approximately $64.9 million. The investor subsequently staked…

Ten once-prominent cryptocurrency networks now carry a combined market value of $12.06 billion, trading an average of 97.13% below their all-time highs. A recent report by Taurex noted that recovery needs across the group range from roughly 21.5x for Avalanche, the largest of the ten at $2.91 billion, to roughly 323x for Internet Computer, which sits furthest from its peak at 99.7% below. Blockchains fund security, developer grants and network growth through token issuance, validator rewards and treasury spending, models that work best when prices climb, and newly minted tokens still carry real dollar value. At this scale of drawdown,…

$BNB Chain, the blockchain ecosystem developed by cryptocurrency exchange Binance, has announced that it has obtained ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certifications. The certifications, awarded following an assessment by the British Standards Institution (BSI), underscore the network’s commitment to robust information security and privacy management practices. What the Certifications Mean ISO 27001 is an internationally recognized standard for information security management systems (ISMS), providing a systematic framework for managing sensitive company information and ensuring data security. ISO 27701, on the other hand, extends these controls to privacy information management, helping organizations comply with data protection regulations like GDPR. For $BNB…

I’ve been vocal about accumulating Bitcoin aggressively at current levels. Now I’m starting to look seriously at Strategy too. The same kind of confluence that flagged Bitcoin as a sizeable accumulation opportunity is appearing on MSTR, and in some cases, the readings are even more extreme. This week at a glance: The RSI has only been lower on a handful of occasions since Strategy adopted a Bitcoin standard. The Mayer Multiple for MSTR has just reached the lower percentiles. The $BTC vs MSTR ratio is close to entering a zone that has historically preceded sustained MSTR outperformance. At the previous…

Cryptocurrency research firm Galaxy Research stated that Ethereum ($ETH) and Solana ($SOL) are assessing significant changes in their token supply and inflation policies, and that investors should pay attention to potential shifts in supply structure. According to the firm, the fundamental question facing both networks is how to balance the incentive budget needed to ensure blockchain security with the long-term pressure on token supply. Galaxy Research highlighted EIP-8361, or “Tapered Issuance Burn,” a proposal submitted by six researchers, including Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake, on the Ethereum side. The proposal envisions burning an increasing portion of the rewards given to…

$NEAR governance has voted to remove the network’s 30% developer gas rebate program, redirecting all execution fees toward a protocol-level burn once the change is implemented through the nearcore v2.14 upgrade. The proposal, listed as HSP-027 on House of Stake, passed as part of a broader tokenomics adjustment. The change is expected to take effect with nearcore v2.14 in August 2026. That timing matters because the rebate is not gone from mainnet until the upgrade happens. Still, the decision is notable. $NEAR’s gas rebate model was originally designed to reward developers when their applications generated activity. The logic was simple:…

Traditional finance is moving bonds, funds and collateral onto blockchain networks as real-world asset adoption accelerates. RWA deposits reached $7.4 billion in Q2 2026, more than triple their year-earlier level despite a wider DeFi contraction. Beyond deposits, CoinShares and Token Terminal said distributed tokenized funds, stocks and commodities had surpassed $40 billion by Q1 2026.

According to Lookonchain, a Bitcoin [$BTC] whale recently withdrew 2,341 $BTC worth $144.68 million from OKX. This outflow from a centralized exchange might not have been an isolated incident though. Exchange reserves have been shrinking lately, with flow data pointing to persistent accumulation. And yet, on the other hand, demand conditions have been “deeply unfavorable,” too, according to a crypto on-chain analyst. For instance – The 200-week moving average and the 200WMA quantile metric revealed that Bitcoin may be nearing the depths of the current bear market, despite the accumulation. A comparison of the press time price action with that…

An Ethereum whale with a history dating back to the 2015 initial coin offering (ICO) has abruptly resumed activity, shifting a portion of a position that had been idle for about seven years. The address is especially noteworthy because it is one of the network’s oldest identifiable holders, having initially amassed 40,000 $ETH during Ethereum’s early stages. Ethereum balance isn’t stabilizing But rather than the whale’s $ETH balance, the most recent move concerns its Maker (MKR) holdings. The investor amassed 7,020.84 MKR between September 2018 and May 2019 at an average acquisition price of roughly $828.92, according to the on-chain…

Cardano activated the Van Rossum Hard Fork and upgraded its mainnet to Version 11, introducing improvements to Plutus smart contracts while keeping the user experience unchanged for $ADA holders.

Version 11 prepares Cardano for the future Ouroboros Leios scalability upgrade, which aims to increase network throughput while preserving the security of its proof-of-stake consensus. Cardano Van Rossum Hard Fork officially moved the network to Version 11, marking one of the most significant…
