Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin personally addressed recent Prysm client vulnerability that nearly caused a finality interruption, downplaying community concerns: "Occasional loss of finality is completely fine; what’s truly dangerous is finalizing the wrong blocks." He emphasized that a delay of a few hours is harmless, and the chain can still operate normally; the only critical red line is: never finalize the wrong things. (Background recap: Quick overview: What benefits does the Fusaka upgrade bring to Ethereum?) (Additional background: Vitalik’s call: Ethereum’s 2026 gas limit will increase fivefold again, but inefficient operations will be penalized fivefold!) Shortly after the Ethereum mainnet completed the Fusaka upgrade on December 3, the Prysm client (approximately 23% market share) experienced a vulnerability in version v7.0.0, causing a large number of validators to be unable to correctly vote.

Written by Paula Albu Compiled by: AididioJP, Foresight News In a recent interview, Fabienne van Kleef, Senior Analyst at Global Digital Finance, delved into the current state of tokenized assets, their application scenarios, and their potential reshaping of financial markets. She pointed out that tokenization is quickly becoming a core driver of financial infrastructure evolution, and its impact may extend beyond short-term fluctuations to touch the deep logic of market structure, liquidity, and global capital flows. Tokenization is skyrocketing, and some (like the BlackRock CEO) claim that its importance may surpass AI in the future, what do you think of this trend? Paula Albu: Yes, tokenization, as a transformative force, is rapidly rising in the financial sector. According to 21.c

Daily market key data review and trend analysis, produced by PANews. 1. Market observation In a complex macroeconomic environment, the Fed's policy decision this week has become the focus of the market. The market generally expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, with a probability of 88.6% to 95%, but Bank of America and other institutions believe that given the structural cooling of the labor market with "low hiring, low turnover, and rising layoffs", the Fed may send a "hawkish rate cut" signal, that is, cut interest rates but hint at the possibility of future policy tightening. This uncertainty has led to fluctuations in U.S. Treasury yields, while Goldman Sachs has warned of early signs of a recession through indicators such as Las Vegas consumption data. In the commodity market, spot silver performed well, breaking through $60 per ounce for the first time to hit a record high, with an increase of more than 100% during the year, significantly outperforming gold, and the gold-silver ratio fell to its lowest level since 2021. However, ARK In

CN： Panorama of crypto assets BTC(+2.07% 丨 Current Price 92,005 USDT) BTC briefly fell back to the $92,000 range and saw buying intake, and although the price pulled back from the high of $94,500, it remained in the short-term bullish structure as a whole. In terms of moving averages, MA5 and MA10 have slightly retraced, but they are still above MA30, indicating that the trend has not yet weakened and has only entered a short-term consolidation. The MACD red bars converged from the highs, the momentum slowed down but was still above the zero axis, and the market was in a cooling phase after strength. If BTC can stabilize the $91,800–92,200 zone, it can continue the repair trend; A break below the MA30 could further backtest the $90,500 support.

The disappearance of the "unlimited money loophole" that underpins microstrategies and BitMine has forced the crypto asset bank (DAT) to transform.

After surging, Bitcoin (BTC) saw a slight pullback and was temporarily quoted at around $92,190 on December 10. The U.S. Senate version of the crypto market structure bill (the "Responsible Financial Innovation Act") is expected to be released this week, with a hearing and vote scheduled for next week.

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) of Japan has released a revised regulatory Q&A, confirming that contracts for difference (CFDs) linked to overseas crypto ETFs are "not acceptable." The ban takes immediate effect, with companies such as IG Securities ceasing to offer CFD products tracking US Bitcoin ETFs.

Since Japan has not approved spot crypto ETFs, the investor protection framework remains incomplete.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued an interpretive letter confirming that national banks can act as riskless principals in facilitating crypto transactions without having to include the assets on their balance sheets. The guidance confirms that facilitating crypto transactions for clients falls within the scope of "banking activities," citing 12 U.S. Code § 24 as the legal basis. Banks can act as principals in transactions with clients while simultaneously hedging with another client, a structure similar to riskless principal transactions in traditional markets.

In the late autumn of 2025, the global crypto asset market experienced a sharp correction, with price panic and liquidity concerns reaching their most “extreme” levels since 2022. However, while widespread pessimism shrouded the market, most people collectively overlooked another event of greater strategic significance—the Fusaka upgrade completed by Ethereum on December 3. In previous years, Ethereum upgrades always began to warm up at least six months in advance; this year, due to the prevailing bearish sentiment, the upgrade barely entered the public’s view. However, upon our analysis, we found that Fusaka is not a simple technical patch—it is an adjustment to Ethereum’s economic model and ecosystem performance, systematically addressing two core bottlenecks that have plagued it for years: “value capture” and “user experience.” So, what exactly was upgraded?—Widening and making the “road” for L2 cheaper, along with adding “speed limit signs” and “guardrails.” The strategic significance of Fusaka...

BTC remains fluctuating in the $89,000–$93,000 range, and is still in a short-term weak recovery phase. ETH is relatively more resilient, but technical indicators show that selling pressure above has not been fully released. 2Z surged over 31.63% last week, becoming the standout token; Polygon PoS led the way, with Polygon’s strong performance driven by both stablecoin payments and the Polymarket prediction market, with scale and trading volume both hitting new highs. In contrast, after Monad’s mainnet launch, its popularity quickly faded, with trading volume and user activity dropping significantly. The ecosystem still lacks native applications with sustained depth, making it difficult to attract incremental capital in the short term.
