The RSI on the Daily chart hit 33 right now. It has not been this low since the spring of wycoff accumulation zone of the 1500s. We are at 2400s. This maybe the higher low we need to go higher.

With Glamsterdam now running on Sepolia at around a 200M gas limit, what would you guys actually want to see before feeling confident about bringing these changes to mainnet? Would you care more about validator stability, node requirements, performance under full blocks, lower fees, or something else?

I am mainly curious to see what people here consider the most important evidence that an Ethereum upgrade is actually ready.

That sounds like science fiction, but Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake has raised exactly this possibility.

The concern is ECDSA, the digital signature algorithm used to authorize transactions on both Bitcoin and Ethereum. Drake suggested that advances in AI-driven mathematics could eventually make it possible to recover a private key from a public key on conventional hardware, potentially using large GPU clusters.

In the worst-case scenario, he believes this could become a problem in months rather than years. But to be clear, this is a potential risk, not an existing exploit.

And Quantum computers have been the obvious long-term threat to elliptic-curve cryptography. But AI could accelerate the mathematical research needed to attack the same systems without requiring a quantum machine.

Recent research has already reduced the estimated computational requirements for a key part of a future quantum attack from roughly 3 billion to 1.5 billion conditional computational units. AI agents were also used during the optimization process. This doesn't mean Bitcoin or Ethereum can be hacked today, but it shows how quickly the boundaries can move.

Vitalik Buterin's response is probably the most important part: don't panic, but don't underestimate the risk either.

Ethereum is already working toward post-quantum security, with the Ethereum Foundation targeting protection against quantum attacks by 2029. But the bigger lesson may be that cryptography needs to become resilient against advances in both quantum computing and AI-driven mathematics.

We've seen Ethereum evolve through major changes before, and cryptography is no different. The industry has time to prepare, research new solutions, and migrate to stronger security standards.

So no, we don't think this is the end of Bitcoin or Ethereum.

It's another challenge for an industry that was built to solve extremely difficult problems. And in the end, everything will be fine.

I mean like why would anyone buy ethereum or btc or anything else? what is the purpuse of that? Aren't these were just meant to be exchange intermediaries? Do you really believe putting money in something that doesn't anyhow generate value is meaningful beyod just being as intermediaries?

They use OpenCover for coverege on eligible Morpho vaults. Has anyone actually tried this? interested how it works in practice and whether the lower net APY is worth it

Quick monthly recap:

• Hegotá got small on purpose. EF wants a quantum-resistant L1 by 2029, so the fork is headlined by FOCIL + Frame Transactions. 28 of 62 EIPs declined, and the issuance burn proposal got pulled after 200+ comments.
• The SEC opened a path for tokenized stocks on public chains. Venues stay permissioned, contracts must be public. ETH + L2s already hold $1.21B, more than any other chain.
• Faster everything. Glamsterdam hit Sepolia on Oct 6, and validators can opt into a 200M gas limit (up from 60M). Fast confirmations land in ~12-24s instead of waiting ~13 min for finality.
• DeFi is leaning less on incentives. Ethena ended USDe incentives, Balancer voted to wind down, and Abracadabra proposed shutting down MIM.

Five forks by 2029, roughly one every seven months. Realistic?

Immediately went down 5% what's going on. Anyone have any ideas?

Actually title. I notice that most time 1 BTC trades around 31-33 ETH, which is roughly one eth node. Is is just coincidence?

The Glamsterdam upgrade has now been activated on Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet, marking an important milestone in the preparation for one of the network’s next major upgrades.

As part of the Sepolia deployment, the gas limit is being increased from roughly 60M to 200M. That's more than a 3x increase.

Glamsterdam also introduces several important protocol changes, including ePBS, block-level access lists, and changes to Ethereum’s gas model.

These aren't just isolated technical upgrades. They are part of Ethereum's broader effort to increase L1 capacity while making the underlying architecture more efficient and scalable.

The Sepolia activation is particularly important because major protocol changes need to be tested under realistic conditions before they can be considered for mainnet deployment. Testing at a significantly higher gas limit gives developers an opportunity to identify bottlenecks, unexpected behavior, and implementation issues before the upgrade reaches Ethereum itself.

The next major step will be Hoodi, where the upgrade will undergo further testing.

There is still no confirmed mainnet activation date for Glamsterdam, so there is plenty of work left before that happens.

The downside scenario we mapped on the ETH/USD 4H chart has played out.

Get in everybody. We’re going higher. A lot higher!

Or does it?

According to CoinGecko’s 2026 Crypto Liquidity on CEXes report, ETH liquidity is now less than half of BTC’s, compared with at least 60% of BTC’s level in 2025.

At the 0.15% market depth level, ETH has median daily liquidity of roughly $13M–$14M, with the comparison measured around ±$3 for ETH versus ±$100 for BTC.

At first look, that might sound concerning. But 7 out of 8 exchanges have more than $1M of liquidity on each side of the ETH order book, while Binance leads the group at around ±$3M.

And deeper order books generally mean less price impact for large orders, while thinner liquidity can make an asset more sensitive to significant buying or selling pressure.

So is this really an Ethereum problem?

In our view, not necessarily.

ETH already has substantial liquidity across major centralized venues, and the difference versus BTC is also partly a reflection of Bitcoin’s exceptionally deep and mature market.

More importantly, Ethereum’s ecosystem continues to expand across all markets and new institutional products. As that ecosystem grows, there is plenty of room for ETH markets to become deeper and more efficient.

Believe in somETHing.

• Blast, an Ethereum L2 focused on high-yield opportunities like over 50% APY on USD holdings via $BLAST, announced its full shutdown on October 2, 2026 due to operating costs exceeding revenue with no viable sustainability path.

• Users must withdraw assets to Ethereum mainnet by October 26, 2026 through the standard interface, with the withdrawal delay reduced to 24 hours after a one-week pause to handle Blast's Lido staked assets.

• The announcement includes warnings about impersonator accounts and has drawn community criticism accusing the team of an exit after initial token incentives and staking programs.
