Ethereum in 2026 → What you need to know.... Today ETH price is $2,104 which is almost 57% down from its all time high of $4,954 in August 2025. Fear and Greed index stands at 28. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching oversold conditions and retail interest is absent. However every on chain metric is hitting an all time high. - There are almost 35.5 million ETH staked. - Stablecoins on Ethereum have surpassed $158 billion. Tbh ETH exchange reserves are at their lowest since 2016. Spot ETH ETFs have attracted $11.6 billion in total net inflows. The network is more used, more secure and more embedded in institutions than ever yet the price remains in the fear zone. That disparity outlines the whole Ethereum narrative in 2026. - Pectra launched in May 2025 increasing the validator cap from 32 to 2,048 ETH. - Fusaka followed in December. - Glamsterdam is set for the first half of 2026 aiming for 10,000 transactions per second and over 78% reduction in gas fees through full account abstraction. - Hegota arrives in the second half with Verkle Trees pushing towards a stateless Ethereum. This upgrade pace is not slowing down. And the good thing is institutional side looks promising too. Ethereum Foundation staked 70,000 ETH in April 2026. This shift from selling ETH to fund operations to earning staking yield is significant. Yet there is an uncomfortable truth that many ignore → Layer 2 solutions like Base keep most fee revenue instead of returning it to ETH holders. Standard Chartered estimated that Base alone took $50 billion from ETH market cap. Increased Layer 2 activity does not directly translate to higher ETH value. So far this issue is unresolved concern underlying every optimistic outlook. The bullish scenario here is hinges on Glamsterdam delivering results, ETF inflows returning and the Federal Reserve lowering rates. and the bearish scenario suggests that Layer 2 value capture issue remains unresolved. Its crazy that the divergence between fundamentals and price is not a temporary dislocation but a structural issue. Right now the critical level to watch is $2,080. If it drops below that the bearish case becomes serious. Honestly fundamentals keep getting stronger while the price continues lagging behind. Next six months will determine which perspective will prevail.show more

Sadly Draft Kings announced today that their Sportsbook at... Wrigley Field will be closing May 31st. This is a video I took when I first went there a few years ago. It really was a fantastic setup. The numbers are what they are. The % of people betting on their phones as opposed to in-person retail with cash continues to increase year over year, so unfortunately this trend of brick-and-mortar books closing is going to continue.show more

🔥 Announcing the BETH Builder Grants 🔥 The Ethereum... Community Fund is launching its first Proof of Burn grant round, with $50,000 available for projects that grow the BETH ecosystem through adoption, tooling, or direct integration. BETH is live, immutable, and fully permissionless. Each token represents ETH that has been permanently removed from circulation, serving as an open and verifiable record of contribution to Ethereum’s monetary base. It’s a new primitive that builders can plug directly into their contracts, applications, and systems without external dependencies. This first grant round funds teams that can move fast, experiment, and deliver functional proofs of concept within a one-month epoch. The goal is to accelerate early integrations and establish the first generation of tools, infrastructure, and experiments that bring proof of burn to life on Ethereum.show more

🤣The first cold joke of China in 2026 has... been born! 🎇 To prevent people from gathering and “making trouble” while celebrating the New Year, the Chinese Communist Party deployed a large number of police for prevention, and also shut down New Year’s Eve countdown big screens in many places! 🎇These three videos were filmed in the Hubin District of Hangzhou. 1⃣In the first video, the entire screen is filled with police officers. 2⃣In the second video, the number of police officers and security personnel is almost the same as the number of people who came out to celebrate the New Year. 3⃣The third video shows that the countdown big screen was shut down, and people “entered” the New Year on their own without a countdown big screen.show more

Today we're dropping the "beta" tag from Adaptyv, launching... our new website and announcing our $8M seed round. When we started Adaptyv a few years ago, our core belief was: AI models for biology are only as good as the experimental data they're trained on and the hypotheses they can test in the real world. Now, after a year of working with many great partners, we’ve scaled our infrastructure to the point that we're now open to anyone who wants to use our platform! Overall, this year, over 30 companies started using Adaptyv to validate their protein designs - from some of the biggest pharmas to frontier AI labs to many, many techbio startups. We've run hundreds of experiments, tested well over 10,000 proteins this year and are generating the data that validates the best AI models currently in development.show more

Tesla’s new Megapack factory in Houston will be their... most capable yet, with an annual production capacity of 50 GWh—25% more than their other two Megapack factories. Once fully ramped, Tesla’s three Megafactories will produce a combined 130 GWh of battery energy storage a year, enough to power ~50 million homes. That's nearly 4.2x more battery energy storage than Tesla deployed in all of 2024. The Houston facility will be the first to manufacture the all-new Megapack 3 in late 2026. This product will partly source LFP cells from Tesla's brand new LFP manufacturing plant in Nevada (next to Giga Nevada). The Nevada facility will begin production in the coming months, making it the first time Tesla will produce and source LFP cells domestically — and from its own operations. Tesla Energy is just getting started🔋show more

Tom Lee said Ethereum's funding crisis had "zero chance."... Four days later, he helped fund the fix. Ethereum just got a new core-research lab, and the timing isn't subtle. Ethlabs (Ethlabs), a nonprofit founded by five former Ethereum Foundation researchers, launched with Tom Lee's (Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com) Bitmine as an anchor funder alongside Sharplink and co-founder Joe Lubin. Just four days ago, a former EF contributor warned Ethereum's core development faced a "slow-burning funding crisis," roughly $30 million a year going unmet as old funding sources dry up. Lee fired back on X: "zero chance," and "Funding secured." Bitmine (Bitmine (NYSE-BMNR) $ETH) holds about 4.7% of all ethereum:native and earns hundreds of millions in staking rewards a year, giving Lee both the means and the motive to bankroll the network he's betting his balance sheet on.show more

🚨LATEST: AVALANCHE LANDS BROADRIDGE DEAL AS $8T GIANT MOVES... SHAREHOLDER VOTES ON-CHAIN Broadridge Financial Solutions, one of Wall Street's most powerful technology firms, has chosen Avalanche (Avalanche🔺) to host its new on-chain proxy voting infrastructure. The platform, which already handles $8 trillion in tokenized assets monthly, will now allow broker-dealers, wealth managers, and retail investors to vote on corporate matters directly on a public blockchain. Galaxy will be the first U.S. public company to put its shareholder vote on-chain, starting with its May annual meeting. Broadridge says the move is designed to support the large-scale adoption of digital assets as tokenization sweeps across global finance. The announcement marks one of the most significant real-world institutional deployments on Avalanche to date.show more

2025 was a year of rapid growth, major milestones,... and relentless innovation. We surpassed 30 million agent sessions in testnet and deployed over 1 million AI agents. Our Mainnet launch on Base was a huge success, so much so that we distributed over $1 million in rewards in just a few months. We introduced ALFA, the first prediction market for AI agents with NEAR Protocol. We launched our FOXX collection which was sold out in under 48h. And we kept shipping without hitting the brakes. With Stable-Up, we took a massive step toward the evolution of DeFi into DeFAI by bringing stablecoins into the agentic economy. Throughout every launch and milestone, our community remained the driving force, and we introduced FAPS to guarantee that your creativity and passion never went unrewarded. There was no better way to cap off this amazing run than launching on the Baseapp and putting DeFAI at your fingertips. Thank you to our community and all our partners who made this possible. Together, we will continue to build a thriving agentic economy for everyone. Happy New Year. Let's turn up the heat in 2026!show more

My daughter wanted to have lunch with me today.... On weekdays, that is almost never possible. But today was the first of January, and I promised her I would come. Sharp at 2.00 pm. At 1.30, just as I was about to leave, a 30 year old man, Mr. Mahesh (name changed), was rushed in with severe chest pain. He was having a massive heart attack. There was no choice. An emergency angioplasty followed. Over the next ninety minutes, he was given a new lease of life. His angio pics are posted below. My daughter missed her lunch with her dad on the first day of the new year. But Anya (name changed), the kindergarten going daughter of Mr. Mahesh, will now have her father with her on her birthdays, school days, and all the important moments of her life. Not all doctors are saints. But the wives and children of doctors who work in emergencies, they are the true angels. Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉show more

James Wynn just opened another 40x Bitcoin short. For... him this barely counts as news anymore. A year ago he ran a $1.25 BILLION Bitcoin position, the largest ever seen on Hyperliquid, then lost over $100 MILLION in a month. Instead of stopping, he kept going, getting liquidated more than 200 times and grinding his account from $100 MILLION down to under $1,000. Today it's a 12.57 $BTC short, around $830,000, at the same 40x that already destroyed him once. One small move and it's gone again. Everyone keeps waiting for him to learn his lesson. At some point you have to accept he isn't trading to win, he's just chasing the rush.show more

NEW: A s*xually frustrated dolphin is accused of s*xually... assaulting and injuring 45 people in Wasaka Bay, Japan. The bottlenose dolphin is accused of going on a multi-year rampage, s*xually assaulting beachgoers about 200 miles west of Tokyo. The dolphin will reportedly bite people and rub its genitals on them if they get close. "Dolphins, when they are mating, can be very wild," said marine researcher Putu Mustika. Researchers don't have definitive proof that all the attacks are from the same dolphin but agree that it's likely the same dolphin. "It is reasonable to assume that it is the same individual, as the wounds on the tail fin are similar to those of the dolphins seen off the coast last year," said a professor in Japan Tadamichi Morisaka.show more

Here are some NCAA Transfer Portal statistics: Only 30%... of Division II student-athletes who enter the portal find a new program. Of that 30%, just 33% move up to the Division I level, while 60% remain in Division II. These figures apply to first-time transfers only. Allowing unlimited transfers without restrictions hinders many student-athletes and makes timely graduation far more difficult. The one-time transfer exception often referenced was once the standard rule, and it worked effectively. Coaches at every level, particularly in certain sports, are already experiencing significant burnout due to annual roster turnover. We must regain control of this issue and begin pushing back. While we have adapted - and will continue to adapt - to the "new normal," we risk losing sight of the true value of an education and a degree. College is not a four-year decision - it is a forty-year decision.show more
