Vitalik Praises Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade

According to official Ethereum network documentation, Ethereum has officially deployed the Fusaka upgrade. This upgrade aims to improve the network’s transaction processing capacity while maintaining existing security standards and decentralization levels. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on X Wednesday evening, saying: “Hearty congratulations to the Ethereum researchers and core developers who have worked hard for years to achieve this result.” The Fusaka upgrade was launched on Ethereum’s final testnet, Hoodi, in October. Its core is the EIP-7594 proposal—PeerDAS (node data availability sampling protocol). This protocol allows Ethereum nodes to verify data integrity without downloading the full block data, achieving the core goal of “scaling without compromise”—increasing network capacity while preserving current security parameters and decentralization features.

CryptoOnchain: BitMine Now Holds About 3% of Total Ethereum Supply; Any New Buying Could Trigger ETH Price Surge

CryptoOnchain analyzed on X: Is Ethereum’s supply squeeze approaching? The BitMine effect is evident. Institutional dominance: Reports indicate that BitMine now controls about 3% (3.7 million ETH) of Ethereum’s total supply. Over the past 30 days, there has been a net outflow of $1.6 billion from exchanges, confirming this large-scale accumulation trend. Liquidity continues to dry up: Ethereum reserves on exchanges have dropped sharply, with a single-day outflow of $3.1 billion on November 23, setting a record high. The number of withdrawal addresses currently exceeds deposit addresses by 40%, and circulating inventory is rapidly shifting to cold wallet storage. A supply shock is brewing: Record-high staking deposits, combined with ongoing accumulation by whales like BitMine, has led to a continuous reduction in market depth. This forms a classic supply squeeze scenario—tradable sell orders on the market will drop sharply. Conclusion: Data shows that the current market is exhibiting active hoarding behavior, not just holding. As tradable supply shrinks, any new buying could trigger explosive price increases.

Ethereum Treasury Companies’ Total Holdings Surpass 6 Million ETH; Ethereum ETFs Hold Over 6.3 Million ETH

According to strategicethreserve data, Ethereum treasury strategy companies now hold a total of 6.47 million ETH, accounting for 5.35% of the total supply; Ethereum ETFs hold a total of 6.31 million ETH, accounting for 5.22% of the supply.

Vitalik: Need for Reliable and Trustless On-Chain Gas Futures Market

Ethereum founder Vitalik stated that we need a reliable and trustless on-chain gas futures market (similar to a prediction market for BASEFEE). Although gas fees are currently low, many people are concerned about future fee trends and question whether measures such as increasing the gas limit, BAL, ePBS, and future ZK-EVMs can maintain low fees. Vitalik believes an on-chain gas futures market could help solve this problem: users would have clear insight into others’ expectations for future gas fees and could even hedge future gas prices, effectively prepaying a specific amount of gas for a given period.
