Targeted changes introduce PeerDAS, easier blob adjustments, and a recalibrated L1–L2 fee balance Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade, scheduled for release this week, marks a shift in how the network evolves. Rather than waiting years for sweeping overhauls, developers are leaning into smaller, high-impact updates designed to expand rollup capacity while preserving access for everyday node operators. PeerDAS Reduces Duplication, Boosts Data Efficiency The centerpiece of Fusaka is EIP-7594, known as Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS). The change lets nodes verify only small portions of rollup data instead of downloading entire packages, reducing bandwidth and allowing more data to move through the…

Key Levels Signal Uncertainty as DOGE Tests Crucial Structure Dogecoin is hovering at a decisive point after briefly slipping below a major support zone, raising debate over whether the move represents a temporary liquidity grab or the early phase of a deeper downturn. Recent sessions show the market pressing into a long-established demand band, making the coming days pivotal for determining trend direction. Price action has dipped beneath the critical support region near $0.1350, withH repeated wicks suggesting liquidity hunts rather than a confirmed breakdown. Historically, this zone has acted as a foundation for reversals, but sustained pressure reflects weakening…
Internal tests show automated systems exploiting real-world vulnerabilities at scale Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping blockchain security — and not in a hypothetical way. A new report from Anthropic says today’s autonomous AI agents can already identify and exploit smart contract weaknesses that mirror some of the industry’s most damaging real-world attacks. AI Agents Replicate — and Expand on — 2025 Exploits Anthropic evaluated several advanced models, including Claude Opus 4.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5, inside a controlled blockchain environment. When tested against recently deployed contracts with known exploit histories, the agents successfully breached 17 of 34 targets, siphoning a…
Bitcoin buying leads modest gains, but sector-wide equities slump despite earlier momentum Corporate digital-asset treasuries saw a marked cooldown in November, ending a months-long surge that had defined much of the year. New data indicates that inflows fell to $1.32 billion, the weakest monthly total of 2025, as enthusiasm across major tokens and publicly traded treasury firms waned. Inflows Cool After Record Quarter Digital asset treasuries absorbed far less capital in November, with inflows dropping 34% from October and landing well below September’s unusually high totals. Bitcoin remained the month’s primary driver, attracting $1.06 billion in new allocations. Two large…
New funding aims to grow on-chain U.S. Treasurys and support broader RWA product development Real-world asset platform OpenEden has secured new backing from major venture firms, trading desks and crypto infrastructure providers as it expands its tokenized U.S. Treasury products — one of the fastest-growing segments in digital finance this year.

The raise follows OpenEden’s earlier 2024 investment from YZi Labs and reflects rising demand for regulated pathways to move…
Veto centers on concerns over overregulation, innovation and website-blocking powers Poland’s President Karol Nawrocki has vetoed a sweeping cryptocurrency bill, setting off a sharp confrontation with government leaders who argue the legislation is essential for consumer protection. The decision has been welcomed by industry groups but condemned by senior officials who accuse the president of undermining regulatory stability. President Warns of Regulatory Overreach Nawrocki refused to sign the Crypto-Asset Market Act, saying its measures “pose a real threat to the freedoms and property of citizens.” The bill, introduced in June, would have imposed far-reaching controls on digital-asset firms, including a…

Partnership aims to optimize renewable energy use while tokenizing mining output Bitcoin miner and hardware producer Canaan has announced plans to co-develop an adaptive, renewable-energy-focused mining platform with SynVista Energy. The initiative leverages artificial intelligence to synchronize mining operations with variable clean-energy supply, reflecting a broader industry push toward sustainable Bitcoin production. AI and Renewable Integration The platform will feature a scheduling engine designed to adjust hash-rate demand in real time to match energy availability, reducing waste and enhancing grid stability. Canaan described the approach as a step toward “green mining from isolated pilots to an engineered, replicable solution,” offering…
Research firm argues current market dynamics differ sharply from past bull runs Grayscale Research says bitcoin may reach new all-time highs in 2026, rejecting the idea that the asset is entering a long downturn tied to its traditional four-year halving cycle. The firm outlined its view in a report released Monday, countering concerns that recent volatility marks the start of an extended correction. Grayscale Pushes Back on Cycle Theory Analysts at Grayscale said the widely cited four-year pattern — in which bitcoin rallies to a peak and then slides into a deep pullback — does not reflect current market conditions.…
