Bitcoin BTC$91,504.50 briefly slipped below its network value based on Metcalfe value modeling for the first time in nearly two years, according to network economist Timothy Peterson. This is typically a signal that often marks the late stages of market resets, he said.”While this does not necessarily signal a bottom, it does indicate that most leverage has been removed and the ‘bubble’ has deflated,” Peterson said.

Ethereum’s upcoming Fusaka upgrade on Wednesday is being framed as just another scaling step, but it marks a shift in how the network ships change. Instead of massive, multi‑year overhauls, Fusaka is the first proof that Ethereum can deliver focused, high‑impact upgrades in something closer to six months.At the center of Fusaka is Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)‑7594, Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS), the technical headline that changes how Ethereum handles data from rollups without forcing node operators to buy data‑center hardware or compromise on decentralization, in line with the roadmap the Ethereum Foundation laid out for the next 12 months.“Ethereum…

In a move to revolutionize financial decision-making, NVIDIA has unveiled its Quantitative Portfolio Optimization developer example, designed to accelerate portfolio optimization processes using GPU technology. This initiative aims to overcome the longstanding trade-off between computational speed and model complexity in financial portfolio management, as noted by NVIDIA’s Peihan Huo in a recent blog post. Breaking the Speed-Complexity Trade-Off Since the introduction of Markowitz Portfolio Theory 70 years ago, portfolio optimization has been hampered by slow computational processes, particularly in large-scale simulations and complex risk measures. NVIDIA’s solution leverages high-performance hardware and parallel algorithms to transform optimization from a sluggish batch…

Alongside, Tether has become one of the globe’s most profitable companies, earning more…
