CCA runs fully on-chain auctions that clear bids block by block for gradual price discovery. After auctions end, liquidity is automatically added to a Uniswap v4 pool at the final cleared price. The model aims to reduce sniping, front-running, and bundled transactions during token launches. Uniswap has rolled out its Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA) feature on Base, giving developers a new way to launch tokens fully on-chain with built-in price discovery and automatic liquidity setup. The decentralised exchange confirmed the rollout on Jan. 22, with the CCA framework now available to builders using Uniswap v4 on the Base network. The…

Ethereum (ETH) holds near $3,000 as institutions accumulate despite mixed short-term sentiment. Strong staking, wallet growth, and ETF inflows support Ethereum’s price floor. ERC-8004 could unlock AI-driven on-chain demand and long-term ETH value. Ethereum is entering a pivotal phase as price action, institutional flows, and protocol-level innovation begin to converge. After a volatile start to the year, ETH has reclaimed the $3,000 level, signalling renewed confidence among both traders and long-term holders. At the time of writing, Ethereum is trading near $3,010, with a market capitalisation of roughly $364 billion and a 24-hour trading range between $2,899 and $3,028. This…

Ethereum (ETH) is stabilising near $1,800–$1,900 after a prolonged sell-off. Whale accumulation and falling leverage hint at reduced downside risk. Strong fundamentals support a potential shift from decline to consolidation. Ethereum (ETH) is showing early signs of stabilisation after weeks of steady downside pressure. The price has been trading near the $1,800–$1,900 zone, an area that has repeatedly acted as support during recent sell-offs. This level matters because it reflects a point where sellers appear to be losing momentum. The broader market context remains cautious, but Ethereum’s behaviour suggests the panic phase may be fading. Over the past month, ETH…

Ethereum rally above $2,100 follows a sharp spike in open interest. A break above the resistance at $2,175 could open the path toward $2,500. Large ETH withdrawals from exchanges point to tightening supply. Ethereum has climbed above the $2,100 after a strong daily rally that pushed the asset higher amid renewed interest in derivatives markets. The move follows a period of consolidation that had kept the price trapped near the $2,000 level for several sessions. The surge has now placed the $2,500 region firmly on the radar of short-term traders. At the same time, comments from Vitalik Buterin about the…

Ethereum (ETH) price shows early signs of a potential bullish trend reversal. On-chain data suggests accumulation and weakening selling pressure. A break above $2,300 could trigger further upside momentum. Ethereum has slipped below the $2,200 mark, but the broader picture suggests something more interesting is unfolding beneath the surface. The recent dip reflects short-term weakness, although it does not fully capture the growing signals pointing toward a potential shift in trend. While the price action over the past week shows mild selling pressure, zooming out reveals that Ethereum is still holding onto gains built over the last month. This creates…

Bitmine has increased its Ethereum (ETH) holdings to over 4.73 million. The company is adding to its ETH treasury strategy despite market struggles. Ethereum price holds near $2,000. Bitmine Immersion Technologies, led by Tom Lee, has accelerated its Ethereum acquisitions, marking its largest purchase of 2026 so far. According to a company update, Bitmine’s total Ethereum holdings have risen to more than 4.73 million ETH, while its combined crypto and cash reserves now exceed $10.7 billion. The firm has also expanded its staking activity, even as Ethereum trades near the $2,000 level amid broader weakness in the crypto market. The…

BitMine tripled its weekly ETH buy to 126,971 tokens, now holding 4.59% of supply. Only 11% of ETH supply is in threefold profit, the lowest reading since Feb 2017. A weekly close below $1,500 could push ETH toward the $1,000 support zone. The Ethereum price dropped to a low of $1,522 last week before bouncing back within the $1,670–$1,712 range at the beginning of this week. While the recovery is modest, the ETH price is still down 15.3% over the past seven days and 28.1% over the past 30 days. From its all-time high of $4,946 set in August 2025,…

An Ethereum Working Group consisting of wallet developers, security firms and the Ethereum Foundation’s Trillion Dollar Security Initiative today launched an open standard designed to end blind signing — a structural flaw that has contributed to billions in user losses, including the Bybit hack. Ethereum Foundation’s Trillion Dollar Security Initiative is taking an active role as a credibly neutral steward of the Clear Signing registry. Across major exploits in crypto and blockchain applications, the final step often isn’t a bug in code, but a user approving a transaction. Even when phishing or an infrastructure compromise initiates the breach, the last…

A semi-regular gathering of Ethereum core devs from various client teams, or interop, recently took place in Svalbard, Norway. Over the week-long event, teams focused on hardening and preparation for the next upgrade, Glamsterdam. Several important milestones came out of the week, including: 200M gas limit floor established: Credible post-Glamsterdam target derived from convergence of ePBS, BAL optimizations, and EIP-8037 repricingePBS stabilized: Multi-client Glamsterdam-devnet running with external builders pipeline tested end-to-end across nearly all clientsEIP-8037 finalized: Fixed cost_per_state_byte adopted; full repricing numbers delivered by Friday on bal-devnet-6Hegotá groundwork laid: FOCIL prototypes are functional; native AA requirements were scoped; the multi-client…

This past week, just over 100 Ethereum core contributors gathered above the Arctic Circle — in Longyearbyen, Svalbard — for the Soldøgn Interop: a week of intense work on the Glamsterdam network upgrade. Soldøgn followed last year’s Berlinterop, but returned to the format used by Amphora 🏺, Edelweiss 🏔️, and Nyota ✨: a single-track week of focused, multi-client progress toward a specific upgrade — in this case, hardening Glamsterdam. By Friday, the group had delivered on its three core goals: alignment on a post-Glamsterdam gas limit floor of 200M, stable ePBS implementations running with external builders, and final EIP-8037 repricing…
