Ethereum Praises Fusaka Upgrade According to official Ethereum network documentation, Ethereum has officially deployed the Fusaka upgrade. This upgrade aims to improve network transaction processing capacity while maintaining existing security standards and decentralization. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform Wednesday evening, "Warmest congratulations to the Ethereum researchers and core developers who have worked tirelessly for years to make this possible." The Fusaka upgrade was launched on Ethereum's final testnet, Hoodi, in October. Its core is EIP-7594 proposal—PeerDAS (Node Data Availability Sampling Protocol). This protocol allows Ethereum nodes to verify data integrity without downloading the complete block data, achieving the core goal of "scaling without degradation" (i.e., increasing network capacity while preserving existing security parameters and decentralization). CryptoOnchain: BitMine Currently Holds Approximately 3% of Ethereum's Total Supply; Any New Buying Could Trigger a Price Surge in ETH. CryptoOnchain, in an analysis published on its X platform, suggests an impending Ethereum supply crunch and the emergence of the BitMine effect. Institutional Dominance: Reports indicate that BitMine currently controls approximately 3% of the total Ethereum supply (3.7 million ETH). Net outflows from exchanges over the past 30 days have reached $1.6 billion, confirming this large-scale hoarding trend. Continued Liquidity Depletion: Ethereum reserves on exchanges have declined sharply, with a single-day outflow of $3.1 billion on November 23, setting a new record. Currently, the number of cash-out addresses exceeds deposit addresses by 40%, and circulating inventory is rapidly shifting to cold wallets. Supply Shock Brewing: Record-breaking staking deposits, coupled with the continued absorption of circulating tokens by whales like BitMine, are causing market depth to shrink continuously. This constitutes a typical supply-tightening scenario—the number of tradable sell orders in the market will decrease sharply. Conclusion: The data indicates that the current market is exhibiting active hoarding behavior, rather than simple holding. As the tradable supply shrinks, any new buying could trigger a price surge. **Coinbase-incubated Ethereum L2 Base launches Solana asset bridge** Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network incubated by Coinbase, announced the official launch of its cross-chain bridge service, supporting native Solana ecosystem assets and allowing assets on Base to be bridged to Solana.

Ethereum Treasury holdings surpass 6 million, Ethereum ETF holdings exceed 6.3 million. According to strategythreserve data, Ethereum Treasury holdings have reached 6.47 million, representing 5.35% of the supply; Ethereum ETF holdings have reached 6.31 million, representing 5.22% of the supply. Vitalik: A reliable and trustless on-chain Gas futures market is needed. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated that a reliable and trustless on-chain Gas futures market (similar to the prediction market for BASEFEE) is needed. While gas fees are currently low, many are concerned about the future trend of fees, questioning whether measures such as increasing gas caps, BAL, ePBS, and subsequent ZK-EVM can maintain low fees. Vitalik believes that on-chain gas futures markets can help solve this problem: users can clearly understand others' expectations of future gas fees and even hedge against future gas prices, effectively prepaying a specific amount of gas fees for a specific period. Other Projects SoFi Plans to Raise $1.5 Billion Through Share Issuance to Expand Product Line Fintech company SoFi Technologies is seeking to raise $1.5 billion through a share issuance to expand its product line beyond lending.
