NFT

NFTs are unique digital identifiers recorded on a blockchain that certify ownership and authenticity of a specific asset. Moving past the "PFP" craze, 2026 NFTs emphasize utility, representing everything from IP rights and digital fashion to RWA titles and event ticketing. This tag explores the technical standards of digital ownership, the growth of NFT marketplaces, and the integration of non-fungible tech into the broader Creator Economy and enterprise solutions.

Gold outperforming bitcoin by 2X in 2025

Gold outperforming bitcoin by 2X in 2025

The post Gold outperforming bitcoin by 2X in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Despite thousands of years of history and an 11X larger market capitalization, gold has returned double the performance of bitcoin (BTC) to its investors this year. Since January 1, gold has rallied 32% versus BTC’s far more modest 16%. Today’s gold price is also historic for another reason, namely that its price rally has reached exactly 100X since the US dollar abandoned the gold standard at $35 per ounce in 1971. One ounce of gold now costs $3,500. These numbers are somewhat disappointing for BTC promoters who advertised the asset as “digital gold.” For more than 4 years, Gold has been a far better asset to hold than Bitcoin. While the returns have been similar since 1Q21, Gold has had 1/4 the monthly vol and drawdowns, and a mere 14% correlation to stocks vs. Bitcoin’s near 60%. pic.twitter.com/DKcV3BGcm3 — Bob Elliott (@BobEUnlimited) June 13, 2025 In fact, depending on the exact time frame you choose, gold has outperformed BTC for nearly four years. Since their November 2021 highs, for example, gold has rallied 85% versus the 61% rally in BTC. Bitcoin lags gold during Donald Trump’s second term In March, Protos noted that BTC performed better during Donald Trump’s first term as president. That analysis holds true when expanding the price comparison through today. When Trump first became president in 2017, BTC was trading under $900. By September 2, 2017, it had rallied to $4,600. Compare that 411% rally with its woeful underperformance during the same 225-day calendar stretch of this year. On Trump’s 2025 inauguration day, BTC was trading at $102,000. It’s rallied just 9% to $111,000 as of publication time. In other words, BTC performed 40,000 basis points better during Trump’s first 225 days as president in 2017 than it has during his 225 days in 2025. Read…

Starknet stutters, turns off and on again twice in one day

Starknet stutters, turns off and on again twice in one day

The post Starknet stutters, turns off and on again twice in one day appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum layer-two network Starknet has experienced two outages in short succession, following its latest “Grinta” upgrade. The transition hasn’t gone smoothly, to put it mildly.  Starknet went offline for just over two hours this morning, between 2:23am and 4:36am UTC, before the team announced that the network was “back online and fully operational.” Not two hours later, however, another announcement came that Starknet was “experiencing another downtime.” The team’s latest update states it’s “deploying a fix now” and “expects the network to be operational shortly.” Status update: Starknet is experiencing another downtime. Our engineers are hard at work fixing the issues. More details will be shared when we know more. We understand this situation can be frustrating and thank you for your patience. https://t.co/dU025BVcbq — Starknet (@Starknet) September 2, 2025 Read more: Coinbase Base network halts for 44 minutes due to ‘unsafe head delay’ The Grinta upgrade, a move to decentralize transaction ordering, opens up the process to “three independent sequencers running consensus and taking turns building blocks.” However, a series of incidents logged on Starknet’s incident reporting page show a variety of issues, ranging from “block production halted” to “cario0 code unrecognized by the sequencer,” and a “reorg” in which 192 blocks were dropped. At the time of writing, the site’s mainnet uptime tracker has logged a total of five hours and 38 minutes of outage so far today. The previous time the network experienced downtime was July 18, for 13 minutes. Starknet, which DeFiLlama ranks as the 42nd largest chain by total value locked (TVL), is classed as a “Stage 1” rollup by ecosystem watchdog L2BEAT, though this was achieved months prior to the upgrade. Rollup breakdown Starknet is far from the only network to experience downtime recently. Less than a month ago, Coinbase’s own Base network was…

Ethereum user activity revisits 2021 peak as NFTs charge to two-year highs in August

Ethereum user activity revisits 2021 peak as NFTs charge to two-year highs in August

The post Ethereum user activity revisits 2021 peak as NFTs charge to two-year highs in August appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum user activity reportedly surged in August, reaching levels not seen since the peak levels of 2021. This activity coincided with a resurgence in non-fungible token (NFT) activity to the highest level since 2023.  Ethereum reportedly reached its highest level of monthly active addresses in years — 19.45 million unique addresses in August 2025. Monthly active addresses measure how many unique wallets interact with the Ethereum blockchain within a given month and capture all kinds of activity in the network, including transfers, DeFi, NFTs, and staking. Ethereum network activity set new records in August 2025. Source: Block.co Ethereum reclaimed milestones in August According to data from Block.co, there has been a clear upward trend in Ethereum’s user activity over time. Back in January 2018, Ethereum had 17.49 million active addresses but by May 2021, the number had crossed 20 million. It has endured a steady decline since then and has struggled to reclaim those highs. This year, the active addresses hit 19.45 million, the closest it has ever come to its 2021 peak. Analysts claim this growth highlights not only growing interest but also the expansion of the ecosystem with more projects, developers, and users now actively building on Ethereum. It also indicates robust on-chain usage across on Ethereum’s Layer-1 (L1) and L2 networks, which is proof of increased adoption and utility beyond speculative trading. Transaction volume only saw a notable uptick last month, suggesting growing engagement with decentralized applications (dApps), decentralized finance (DeFi), and NFTs. Are NFTs back? The NFT market has not been the same since the 2021 craze. Since then, trading volumes have dropped, collections lost momentum, and bag holders have become the butt of some witty jokes. Matas Čepulis, Founder and CEO of LuvKaizen, is one of those who refuse to believe the NFT season will…
