On December 21, Ethereum developers successfully completed the Fusaka upgrade and reduced node costs. They have now begun to fully plan the "Glamsterdam" upgrade, targeted for 2026. The name "Glamsterdam" is a combination of two upgrades happening simultaneously on the Ethereum core layers. The execution layer (where transaction rules and smart contracts reside) will undergo the Amsterdam upgrade, while the consensus layer (which coordinates validators and finalizes blocks) will undergo the Gloas upgrade. The core of this upgrade is the separation of proposer builder (ePBS) and block-level acc

On December 20th, Arthur Hayes published his latest article titled "Love Language," stating that the Fed's RMP (Reserve Management Purchase) is essentially equivalent to a new version of quantitative easing (QE), which means liquidity will be re-released and the long-term devaluation risk of fiat currency will increase, with the crypto market, especially Bitcoin, expected to benefit significantly.
He predicts that in the short term, BTC may fluctuate between $80,000 and $100,000; once the market recognizes that "RMP = QE," Bitcoin could return to $124,000 and quickly surge to $200,000; a pha

Bitcoin will reach a new high in 2026, with the halving effect significantly weakened. The appearance of 10.11 has reduced the likelihood of a major market crash.
Cryptocurrency investment firms and index fund management institutions like Bitwise believe that even though the past two months have been sluggish, Bitcoin will hit a new all-time high again in 2026.
CEO Matt Hougan stated that Bitcoin historically follows a four-year cycle, with three years of significant growth followed by a deep correction year. According to this cycle, 2026 should be a correction year. But we believe this will n

On December 16, according to Decrypt, Grayscale stated in its latest "2026 Digital Asset Outlook" report that although quantum computing presents long-term security challenges, its impact on cryptocurrency market prices in 2026 is minimal, calling it a "false alarm" for the coming year. The asset management firm believes that the quantum threat is real but unlikely to affect the cryptocurrency market or valuations in the short term.
The report cites estimates that quantum systems capable of cracking Bitcoin cryptography may appear as early as before 2030. Grayscale analysts pointed out that re

On December 14, Michael Saylor reposted news that Bitcoin Crypto Treasury (DAT) company's Strategy will remain in the Nasdaq 100 Index and stated: "We will continue to accumulate Bitcoin until market complaints stop." Previously reported, Strategy will continue to stay in the Nasdaq 100 Index, maintaining its status as a component stock. Some market observers believe that Strategy's pioneering business model, which focuses on "buying and holding Bitcoin long-term," is more akin to an investment fund rather than a traditional operating enterprise. Meanwhile, concerns about the sustainability of

On December 8, despite the market seemingly having priced in another Fed rate cut and pushing the U.S. stock market close to record highs last Friday, the real driving force for the bull market in stocks and other risk assets from this week’s Fed policy meeting may not come from interest rates. After quietly halting quantitative tightening, how the Fed manages its massive balance sheet—and whether it injects new liquidity into the market—is key.
Bank of America Global's rates strategy team said last Friday that they expect the Fed to announce this week that, starting in January, it will purcha
