This week, Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade went live, bringing major enhancements to scalability, staking efficiency, and user experience. Key upgrades include: Programmable wallets, gasless transactions, expanded blob space (boosting L2 performance), and gas payments in non-ETH tokens. No action is required as a user—the upgrade happened automatically on the backend. Stay alert for scams falsely claiming you need to transfer funds or take other steps.
Ethereum Leads Crypto Rally With Biggest Weekly Gain Against Bitcoin Since May 2024
Ethereum surged 13% this week, marking its biggest gain against Bitcoin since May 2024. BTC rose 2%, while XRP and Solana climbed 5% and 7%, respectively. The rally boosted the crypto market cap to 3.36 trillion, triggering over a billion in liquidations.
Investor optimism grew after U.S. tariff concessions, but experts warn that thin liquidity is amplifying volatility. Despite ETH's rise, its ETFs saw 16 million outflows, while Bitcoin ETFs attracted 117 million. Traders remain cautious ahead of key U.S.-China trade talks.
