Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure Vitalik Buterin is pushing back against the dominant narrative shaping today’s artificial intelligence industry. As major AI labs frame progress as a competitive sprint toward artificial general intelligence (AGI), the Ethereum co-founder argues that the premise itself is flawed. In a series of recent posts and comments, Buterin outlined a different approach, one that prioritizes decentralization, privacy, and verification over scale and speed, with Ethereum positioned as a key piece of enabling infrastructure rather than a vehicle for AGI acceleration. Buterin likens the phrase “working on AGI”…
Bitcoin’s long-standing narrative as “digital gold” is being put to the test as its recent price action increasingly resembles that of a high-risk growth asset rather than a traditional safe haven, according to new research from Grayscale.Report author Zach Pandl said on Tuesday that while Grayscale still views Bitcoin (BTC) as a long-term store of value due to its fixed supply and independence from central banking authorities, recent market behavior suggests otherwise.“Bitcoin’s short-term price movements have not been tightly correlated with gold or other precious metals,” Pandl wrote, pointing to record rallies in bullion and silver prices.Instead, the analysis found…

The crypto market downturn has been particularly hard on leading American exchange Coinbase (COIN), which has seen its stock plunge more than 50% since bitcoin’s early October record above $126,000, including a 27% decline in 2026 alone.Attempting to catch up to that fast tumble, JPMorgan’s Ken Worthington slashed his price target on COIN to $290 from $399 ahead of the company’s fourth quarter earnings report coming after the close on Thursday.Worthington remains a bull on the stock and his reduced target still suggests 75% upside from COIN’s current price of $1655.Worthington projects adjusted EBITDA of $734 million, down from $801…
Ethereum researcher ladislaus.eth published a walkthrough last week explaining how Ethereum plans to move from re-executing every transaction to verifying zero-knowledge proofs.The post frames it as a “quiet but fundamental transformation,” and the framing is accurate. Not because the work is secret, but because its implications ripple across Ethereum’s entire architecture in ways that won’t be obvious until the pieces connect.This isn’t Ethereum “adding ZK” as a feature. Ethereum is prototyping an alternative validation path in which some validators can attest to blocks by verifying compact execution proofs rather than re-running every transaction.If it works, Ethereum’s layer-1 role shifts from…
What to Know: Bybit’s Stockholm Open partnership underscores a broader push for mainstream adoption and brand legitimacy across crypto. That push spotlights the need for scalable infrastructure that can handle mass-market volumes, an area where Bitcoin’s base layer still struggles. Bitcoin Hyper proposes an SVM-powered Layer 2 for Bitcoin, bringing high-speed smart contracts to BTC while settling to Layer 1. Crypto exchange Bybit has secured the title partnership for the Stockholm Open, a move that plants the industry’s flag squarely in the Nordic market. The tournament, now officially the ‘Bybit Stockholm Open,’ signals more than a standard sponsorship; it’s a…
Malicious MEV attacks pose a significant threat to traders on Ethereum. Our latest research shows that almost 2,000 sandwich attacks happen daily and more than $2 million is extracted from the network each month. Even traders who execute large WETH, WBTC or stable swaps remain at risk and can lose a substantial portion of their trades. MEV thrives because of the transparent nature of blockchains, where transaction data is visible before transactions are executed and finalized. One path toward mitigating MEV is mempool encryption, particularly through the use of threshold encryption. In our earlier articles, we examined two different models for…
Michael Saylor defended Strategy’s bitcoin-buying approach on CNBC’s Squawk Box earlier today, dismissing concerns that the company could be forced to sell its holdings during a prolonged downturn and reiterating plans to keep adding bitcoin on a regular schedule. “We’re not going to be selling; we’re going to be buying bitcoin,” Saylor said. “I expect we’ll buy bitcoin every quarter forever.” Saylor pushed back against speculation within parts of the bitcoin community that Strategy’s leverage and cash position could create pressure to liquidate if prices remain depressed. He called those fears misplaced, arguing the company has structured its balance sheet…

Bitcoin’s sharp correction at the start of the month may represent a critical “halfway point” in the current bear market, according to Kaiko Research.Bitcoin (BTC) fell to $59,930 on Friday, marking its lowest level since October 2024, before the re-election of US President Donald Trump, according to TradingView data. The decline suggests the market has moved out of the euphoric post-halving phase and into what Kaiko described as a historically typical bear market period that lasts about 12 months before a new accumulation phase begins.In a research note shared with Cointelegraph on Monday, Kaiko said Bitcoin’s 32% crash was the most…
