Crypto Data and Research Reports

Ethereum plans to let validators verify blocks using zero knowledge proofs instead of re-executing every transaction. EIP 8025 introduces optional execution proofs so attesters can validate blocks with constant cost and lighter hardware. The L1 zkEVM roadmap depends on ePBS and zkVM

CertiK's "2026 Skynet Prediction Market Report" indicates that the predicted trading volume of prediction markets will reach $63.5 billion in 2025, with risks increasing accordingly. Legalized in the United States but banned in some EU countries, future efforts will need to address liquidity, security, and revenue models to achieve sustainable development.

20 new Chainlink integrations rolled out across 8 services and 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Linea, World Chain, and zkSync. MegaETH joined Chainlink Scale and launched with Data Feeds, Data Streams, and CCIP enabled from day one. Chainlink has announced 20 new integrations to its

In January, the global cryptocurrency mining sector faced challenges with declining profits due to high energy costs and increasing network difficulty. MARA has managed to transfer over 2,125 BTC while holding over 52,000 BTC, ranking second globally in corporate Bitcoin reserves. Mining efficiency has dropped significantly, leading to price reductions by Bitmain. North America’s market share has fallen to 35% as some operators shift to AI. Nationally, various countries are adjusting their mining regulations, with some cracking down on illegal operations while others legalize mining activities.

ChainCatcher reports that, according to Arkham data, at 20:45, 52.92 BTC (worth approximately $3.43 million) was transferred from an anonymous address (starting with 168Bveij...) to Cumberland DRW.

Zhongchi Chefu Internet Technology Co., Ltd. completed the acquisition of digital assets worth $1.87 billion from a crypto institution, including a variety of mainstream and potential tokens. At the same time, the company reached a cooperation agreement with the institution, and both parties will conduct in-depth collaboration in the digital asset repository and crypto payment infrastructure fields, marking the company's transformation towards global digital asset allocation.

The number of active addresses on the Axie Infinity (AXS) network has nearly doubled in the past 24 hours. Is the sudden surge in trading activity, along with the concentration of supply in the hands of large investors, enough to sustain AXS's strong growth momentum? The explosion of address activity

Cardano Foundation has upgraded Cardano Rosetta Java to v2.0.0, enhancing backend infrastructure for faster data access with a 30% reduction in synchronization time. This upgrade improves exchange onboarding, reliability, and scalability, potentially boosting ADA adoption and price.

The latest on-chain fee comparison data shows that in mid-January 2026, among mainstream blockchain networks, Solana's median transaction fee ranks second lowest, only behind Avalanche, and is significantly lower than high-transaction-volume networks like Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, and Arbitrum. This result further highlights Solana's structural advantages in high throughput and low-cost execution layers. From a data structure perspective, Solana's fee curve has long been at the bottom of the logarithmic coordinate chart, indicating that its low fees are not a temporary phenomenon but are determined by its underlying architecture. The network's design, which features parallel execution and high TPS, allows it to absorb traffic spikes during increased transaction demand, unlike rollup-dependent networks that shift the pressure into higher per-transaction costs.

As of February 10, the Hyperliquid platform's 24-hour trading volume was $6.64 billion, leading other platforms. The trading volumes of the remaining platforms did not exceed $4 billion, and the overall open interest reached a nearly 9-month low, indicating a decline in market activity.

Ethereum will undergo its most groundbreaking architectural upgrade since the "Merge." Today marks the official launch of the first L1-zkEVM Workshop, where a brand-new block verification system based on zero-knowledge proofs is being showcased for the first time. This solution is expected to enable faster block confirmation, reduce resource consumption, and significantly lower operational barriers. Ladislaus.eth, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, stated that this could be one of the most impactful upgrades in network history. The core of this roadmap is EIP-8025 "Optional Execution Proof," which allows some validators (zkAttesters) to confirm blocks through cryptographic proofs without re-executing each transaction. For existing nodes, this is an optional upgrade and will not be mandatory, but adopters will gain clear efficiency advantages.

February 10 News, global payments giant Visa has officially launched an on-chain settlement system based on the Ethereum network, using USDC as the settlement medium. The service was quietly launched in December 2025, but its on-chain annualized transaction volume has already exceeded $3.5 billion, marking an acceleration of the traditional financial system's migration to blockchain infrastructure. By transferring some cross-border and institutional payments on-chain, Visa provides corporate clients with 24/7 fund settlement capabilities, eliminating delays caused by banking hours and multiple intermediaries. The settlement cycle has been compressed from several days to just a few minutes, while also enhancing the traceability and transparency of fund flows. This change demonstrates that Ethereum is no longer just a smart contract platform but is evolving into a global settlement network.
