Ethereum is taking a strategic turn in 2026, with two major updates planned within a few months: Glamsterdam in the first half, followed by Hegota at the end of the year.

This acceleration marks a turning point in the protocol's governance and opens a new technical phase for Ethereum, as the sector enters an era of consolidation.

Uniswap thus initiates a new phase of its evolution, focused on active management of the value created.

Bitcoin lost momentum during U.S. trading hours, keeping the broader crypto market confined to a narrow range.

Regulation sometimes looks like a room too neatly arranged. Nothing sticks out. Not a draft. And that's precisely what Vitalik Buterin criticizes about the European Union: wanting a "clean" internet, without rough edges, to the point of reducing the oxygen available for crypto innovation.
