Ethereum News

First described in a 2013 whitepaper by programmer Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum (ETH) is a cryptocurrency and blockchain platform that allows developers to create programs and run smart contracts using its native language. It can thus be viewed as a virtual computer, whose resources are paid for using Ether. In 2020, Ethereum began the transition to Ethereum 2.0, in which its proof-of-work consensus mechanism is replaced by a proof-of-stake model. The aim of the upgrade is to increase Ethereum’s scalability and security.

    If You Bought Ethereum When Eric Trump Said So, You’re Finally in the Green

    If you followed Eric Trump’s advice earlier this year to add Ethereum to your portfolio, that position is finally paying off. Looking at Ethereum from February 4, when Trump first made the call, to July 9, the second-largest crypto has endured a rollercoaster run.  Ethereum experienced significant declines throughout March and April, bottoming out near $1,500 as pessimism and broader geopolitical factors dominated the market. Still, if you had followed his advice, your investment would be up by...

    Bitcoin Shorts Get Rekt as BTC Tops $116K for First Time

    The price of Bitcoin just shot above the $116,000 for the first time ever, continuing a recent string of all-time high jumps over the last two days—and non-believers are getting pummeled with short liquidations. Bitcoin is currently sitting at a price of $116,734 according to data from Coinbase, marking a 4.8% climb over the last 24 hours after weeks of being rangebound below the previous record price just under $112,000. According to data from CoinGlass, Bitcoin shorts are getting slammed. More...

  • Securities On-Chain? There's Only One True Way, Says BlackRock-Backed Firm's CEO

    There’s only one way to truly represent securities on-chain, and that’s through “native” tokenization, Carlos Domingo, CEO of BlackRock-backed digital asset securities firm Securitize, told Decrypt on Thursday. That distinction could become more important, as firms’ experimentation with security-based tokens potentially leaves investors confused—a concern raised by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this week. A stock that’s natively tokenized on Ethereum, for example, would car...

    IRS Formally Removes Anti-DeFi Broker Rule From Tax Code

    The IRS announced Thursday it formally removed a controversial rule from the federal tax code that would have obligated decentralized finance platforms to collect and report the same financial information as traditional brokers.  The so-called DeFi broker rule was adopted in the last weeks of former President Joe Biden’s administration, though it never went into effect. It was shortly thereafter repealed via a resolution supported by bipartisan majorities in both chambers of Congress.  In April,...

  • What Is Tokenization?

    Traditional asset management is a laborious process. It often requires the involvement of numerous middlemen, including various state bodies and regulators. Assets such as stocks, bonds, property, or even land can often be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming to manage, putting them beyond the reach of the vast majority of the world’s population. What’s more, traditional asset management typically involves complex legal agreements and lots of paperwork, which makes it all very difficult to...

    Crypto Exchange GMX Drained of Bitcoin, Ethereum in $40 Million Exploit

    GMX, a cross-chain decentralized exchange specializing in perpetual futures trading, warned on Wednesday that an initial version of its platform was exploited. Roughly $40 million worth of tokens were siphoned from GMX V1, which debuted on the Ethereum layer-2 scaling network Arbitrum in 2021, to an unknown wallet, GMX said on X. In response, GMX V1 trading was disabled, alongside the minting and redeeming of GMX’s GLP token on Arbitrum and the layer-1 network Avalanche, GMX said. GMX was recent...

    Why Are Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana Prices Still Rangebound? Experts Weigh In

    Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana edged up on Wednesday, largely shaking off a jolt from the U.S. reentering negotiations with several of its foreign trading partners. But despite the tepidly good news, analysts say the assets remain rangebound. Bitcoin, for instance, has largely traded between $107,000 and $110,000 over the last several weeks, up a modest 1.5% over the last 30 days, but still within striking distance of its all-time high. Ethereum has traded sideways over the last month at aro...

The holder originally received the 900 ETH at the address in 2015 when the coin was priced at less than 50 cents. Those were "genesis" coins, digital tokens created during the first block of Ethereum. Before transactions took place on Ethereum, early contributors and developers to the project received "pre-mined" ETH—when it was worth pennies....
