Ethereum has decided to stop using its custom Poseidon hash function after eight years and significant investment, returning to conventional cryptographic standards like SHA and BLAKE2s. This shift is supported by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back, who favors well-studied, reliable cryptographic algorithms over experimental ones. Advances in binary-field mathematics have made traditional hashes more efficient for zero-knowledge systems, removing the need for custom solutions. Ethereum plans to complete this post-quantum cryptography upgrade by 2028, starting with the LeanVM virtual machine launch in 2027.
Ethereum price surged past its $2,550–$2,575 resistance zone on September 20, now using this level as support. The token climbed over 75% from $1,510 to $2,650 in three months, marking its second-best quarterly gain on record. Institutional ETF inflo...
Russia's Moscow Exchange (MOEX) will launch perpetual futures contracts for XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and TRON on September 22. These contracts, quoted in USD but settled in Russian rubles, allow qualified investors to gain price expos...
Bitcoin surged above $81,700 and Ethereum topped $2,600 following the Federal Reserve's unanimous 25 basis point rate hike, the first since 2023, signaling an end to the rate cut/pause cycle. The rally was further fueled by fresh regulatory moves: th...
Ethereum's price recently climbed from $2,360 to nearly $2,668 but cooled near $2,600, still about 47% below its October 2025 peak of $4,946. Analysts offer varied year-end targets ranging from $4,000 to $10,000, contingent on factors like Bitcoin's ...
Most major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance Coin, experienced price declines today, with Bitcoin down nearly 1% and Ethereum over 2%. However, some tokens like Avalanche (AVAX) and HBAR showed significant gains, rising 14.35...
