At the same time, the perpetual contract funding rate limit will be reduced from 4% to 0.5% per hour. Officials stated that this limit is rarely touched in actual transactions.
Vitalik: Hegota may be the last "regular" upgrade of Ethereum, and will then transform into an "encrypted world computer"
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, published an article "The cryptographic world computer" stating that Ethereum is evolving from a traditional blockchain to a "cryptographic world computer" that integrates blockchain, cryptographic privacy and verification, and decentralized off-chain components. He predicts that the Hegota upgrade planned for next year may be the last "regular" upgrade of Ethereum. The core directions thereafter will include recursive STARK, automated formal verification, highly optimized consensus algorithms and quantum security. Vitalik said that by 2030, Ethereum's block verification will shift from complete downloads and re-executions to SNARK verification and PeerDAS data availability sampling; consensus will shift to optimized PoS with less time slot finality and available chain mechanisms, and block construction will also shift from a single block producer to multi-party participation. The user side is expected to gain stronger censorship resistance, privacy protection, lighter node operation requirements, as well as time slots of approximately 4 to 8 seconds and final confirmation times of approximately 8 to 32 seconds. He said that PeerDAS has started the transformation of Ethereum from a simple blockchain to a stronger system. After Hegota, this transformation will become the main narrative of Ethereum.

But she said Democrats defeated legislative attempts to tighten regulations on money laundering at offshore crypto exchanges by voting against the bill in the vote.

Trump plans to host Anthropic CEO at private dinner at White House on Sunday night
U.S. President Trump plans to host a private dinner at the White House on Sunday night to entertain Anthropic CEO Amodei. The dinner will be the first one-on-one meeting between Trump and Amodei, and also shows that the relationship between Anthropic and the Trump administration is easing. Government officials and their allies have long had tensions with Anthropic. Trump and House Speaker Johnson plan to meet with a number of top artificial intelligence company CEOs at the White House on Tuesday, and this private dinner can be regarded as a "warm-up" for the meeting.
Bloomberg Analyst: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have underperformed in the past decade, and the peak of cryptocurrencies has passed
Mike McGlone, a senior analyst at Bloomberg, wrote that from a risk and portfolio management perspective, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may be classified as underperforming assets over the past decade. The Market Vector Digital Asset 100 Index (MVDA, about two-thirds Bitcoin) has been essentially sideways since 2017, while the Nasdaq 100 Index (NDX) has continued to rise over the same period. Although MVDA volatility is about 3 times higher on average and is positively correlated with the stock market, it fails to provide effective diversification of risk and underperforms from a risk and portfolio management perspective. McGlone believes that after the launch of Bitcoin futures in 2017, cryptocurrencies entered the mainstream, and MVDA will no longer outperform NDX; the listing of US ETFs and Trump’s change of stance before the 2024 election may be the peak moment of cryptocurrencies. This situation is unlikely to change.

Ministry of National Security: The so-called "anonymity attribute" of virtual currencies is fundamentally a false proposition
The official account of the Ministry of National Security issued an article "Virtual currency crimes cannot be traced?" Thinking too much! ”, which pointed out that virtual currency has become an important tool for criminals to engage in various illegal and criminal activities, and breeds security risks in many aspects, including a “hotbed” for money laundering crimes, a “bunker” for cyber attacks, and an “accomplice” for spies to steal secrets. However, the so-called "anonymity attribute" of virtual currency is fundamentally a false proposition. The blockchain completely retains transaction records and other data, providing a basis for full-link traceability. Looking at the ledger, traces of the entire transaction are left; checking the link, it is difficult to hide the true identity; when it comes to private keys, there is no guarantee of asset security.

DYORSWAP: The DYOR contract was not attacked, and more than 200 ETH compensation has been issued.
DYORSWAP issued a statement stating that the recent incident was not that the DYOR contract was attacked, but that its application was affected by the fraudulent network "GIWA Chain 9134". The network was initiated by operators who controlled the bridging infrastructure, ultimately draining the real ETH that supported the network. The recovered data set shows that about 1,335 addresses bridged funds, about 767.65 ETH entered the bridge, and finally about 766.25 ETH was withdrawn; DYOR has 1,479 operation records on the chain, of which 1,148 were successful, involving 298 wallets and 104 pools; DYOR has used its own funds to issue more than 200 ETH compensation to affected users. The team is continuing to trace the deployer, source of funds, batch processing infrastructure and the flow of funds, and distinguish attackers from real victims based on on-chain evidence. According to previous news, DYORSWAP said that the fake GIWA mainnet fraud caused users to lose approximately 766 ETH.
