The post Corporate Ether Acquisitions Fall 81% as Top Holders Persist in Buying Amid Crypto Consolidation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Corporate Ether acquisitions dropped 81% in the past three months amid market consolidation, yet top holders like BitMine Immersion Technologies added billions in ETH. Bitcoin held above $90,000 as investors await Federal Reserve rate decisions, with DeFi facing regulatory pushback. Ethereum treasury buys fell from 1.97 million ETH in August to 370,000 in November, signaling an unwinding trend. Key players continue accumulating despite the slowdown, including BitMine nearing 5% of ETH supply. Crypto lending market reached $25 billion in Q3 2025, up 200% year-to-date, led by transparent platforms like Tether and Nexo.

Stay informed on market shifts—discover key insights today. What is happening with Ethereum corporate acquisitions in late 2025? Ethereum corporate acquisitions have significantly declined, with monthly buys by digital asset treasuries dropping 81% over the past three months from August peaks. This unwinding reflects broader market caution, though major holders persist in building positions. Investors eye Federal Reserve moves for further direction amid Bitcoin’s stability above $90,000. How has the Fear and Greed Index influenced crypto sentiment? The Fear and Greed Index, tracked by CoinMarketCap, rose marginally from 20 to 25 this week, indicating persistent fear among investors despite Bitcoin’s hold above the $90,000 mark. This sentiment aligns with consolidation following recent recoveries, as traders brace for macroeconomic cues. Data from the index’s all-time chart shows volatility tied to policy expectations, with current levels suggesting caution rather than outright panic. Cryptocurrency markets entered another week of sideways movement after last week’s rebound. Bitcoin maintained its position above the critical $90,000 threshold, a psychological barrier that has bolstered confidence. However, overall sentiment remains subdued, dominated by fear as measured by established metrics. In the Ethereum ecosystem,…

The post Prysm Bug Knocks Ethereum Consensus Participation After Fusaka appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Shortly after the Fusaka network upgrade, the Ethereum network saw a sharp drop in validator participation after a bug in the Prysm consensus client knocked a chunk of votes offline. According to a Thursday Prysm announcement, version v7.0.0 of the client unnecessarily generated old states while processing outdated attestations, a flaw that Prysm core developer Terence Tsao said prevented the nodes from functioning correctly. Developers recommended that users launch the client with the “–disable-last-epoch-targets” flag as a temporary workaround. Beaconcha.in network data shows that at epoch 411,448, the network achieved only 75% sync participation (the percentage of 512 randomly selected nodes signing chain heads) and 74.7% voting participation. Voting participation being down 25% is under 9% shy of the network losing the two-thirds supermajority needed to maintain finality and regular operation. At the time of writing, the current Ethereum network epoch (411,712) is experiencing nearly 99% voting participation and has reached 97% sync participation, indicating that the network has recovered. Prior to the issue, epochs routinely saw well over 99% of vote participation. The decline in vote participation roughly matches the share of validators using the Prysm consensus client, estimated at 22.71% on Wednesday, before falling to 18% after the incident. This suggests that the attestation failure was likely concentrated among Prysm validators. Client diversity chart.

Related: Exclusive data from EigenPhi reveals that sandwich attacks on Ethereum have waned Brushing with finality loss If voting participation falls below two-thirds of the total staked Ether (ETH), the Ethereum network loses finality. Under Ethereum’s design, blocks can still be produced in that scenario, but the chain is no longer considered finalized. As a likely consequence of such an outage, layer-2 bridges would…

PANews reported on December 6 that, according to on-chain analyst Yu Jin, Ma Ji (Huang Licheng) has basically given back the profits from his long ETH position, and is now only $42 away from the liquidation price. Maggie used $500,000 to roll over his long position in ETH, starting at $2,840. When ETH rose to $3,200 two days ago, his $500,000 had grown to $3.34 million. While rolling over his position to amplify profits, he also raised the liquidation price to $3,000. However, ETH retraced and fell below $3,000 early this morning, resulting in two liquidations. His position value has now fallen from $3.34 million to $730,000, essentially erasing all the profits from this long position. The remaining position is only $42 away from the liquidation price.

The post Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Raises Blob Fees, Impacts Network Economics appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Ethereum’s Fusaka raises blob fees, boosting ETH burn rate. Alters L2 transaction costs and network efficiency. Yi Lihua highlights market realignments in post-upgrade analysis. Yi Lihua of Liquid Capital revealed on X that Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade sharply increased blob base fees by 15 million-fold due to the EIP-7918 mechanism change. This adjustment prevents rollup misuse, realigns network costs, and significantly boosts ETH burning, potentially up to 50% by 2026, affecting Ethereum’s market dynamics. Fusaka Upgrade Sparks Changes in Ethereum’s Fee Structure The recent Fusaka upgrade, implemented on December 5, marked a significant shift in how Ethereum handles blob fees. Initiated through EIP-7918, this upgrade established a higher base fee floor for blob transactions, aligning them with Layer 1 gas costs. The adjustment aims to prevent excessive use of network resources without adequate compensation. Ethereum’s primary objective is to reflect actual resource usage, ensuring rollups do not use data “for free”. This correction, advocated by Ethereum researchers, aligns with their vision of a rollup-centric scaling approach. Blob fees have been revised to meet a minimum threshold, linked to L1 execution costs. The expectation is to stimulate an increase in ETH burning, potentially doubling current rates over time. The introduction of PeerDAS technology further enhances storage capacity, effectively managing network congestion. This decisive cost-based regulation is expected to affect L2 transaction volumes, realigning usage and economic sustainability on the Ethereum network. Yi Lihua of Liquid Capital suggests this initiative corrects prior undervaluation of blob space, potentially boosting network efficiency. “The Fusaka upgrade’s new mechanism corrects earlier underpricing of blob space,” says Yi Lihua. Industry reactions highlight possible bearish impacts on L2 entities that rely heavily on low-cost data options. However, there is a broad consensus on its bullish potential for ETH due to increased burn rates and enhanced network economics.…
