This article explores the impact of ETF futures products on the market, covering their key features, critical points for investors to consider, potential risks, and future development trends. We will analyze how futures ETFs affect market liquidity and price volatility, the fees, roll-over costs, and regulatory factors investors need to be aware of when participating, and the role they may play in institutional investment, market maturity, and changes in the regulatory environment.
BNB Chain has announced the upcoming Fermi hard fork upgrade for the BSC mainnet. By reducing block intervals, this upgrade will enhance transaction processing efficiency and increase network throughput. Recognized as a key milestone in optimizing BSC’s core performance, all relevant nodes are required to update their versions ahead of time.
Ethereum is set to roll out the Fusaka upgrade on December 3, 2025, introducing PeerDAS technology. With this enhancement, nodes will store just one-eighth of blob data. This will cut storage demands by about 80%. The upgrade will deliver up to eightfold scalability for Layer 2 Rollups. It will also boost transaction throughput and reduce costs. These improvements are anticipated to reinforce the competitive edge of both L1 and L2 networks. They are also expected to support upward movement for ETH.
Omni Network is an interoperability layer and L1 network on Ethereum, designed to connect various Roll-ups such as Optimism, Arbitrum, zkSync, and Starkware. It employs foundational technology innovations like re-staking via Eigenlayer, the Cosmos SDK, and the Tendermint consensus mechanism to offer a secure, modular, and high-performance Web3 infrastructure. Omni Network supports cross-Rollup interactions, aggregates liquidity, and simplifies user processes. It also introduces a dual-staking model, offers sub-second verification, and integrates with multiple Rollup architectures and applications. Omni Network has completed two rounds of funding, backed by prominent investors such as Pantera Capital, and has conducted a token sale on Binance's launchpool.
Ethereum is preparing to roll out the ERC-8004 standard on its mainnet, enabling AI agents to carry portable identities, establish on-chain reputations, and access native payment capabilities.

IoTeX is at the forefront of IoT and blockchain technology. The IoTeX platform combines hardware with connectivity and a highly scalable technology architecture that allows trusted devices to connect with trusted data to enable a wide range of real-world applications and use cases.
This article reviews the process of IoT devices generating data, storing data, and rolling up to the blockchain. It also introduces the DePIN infrastructure platform, which can help project teams quickly launch DePIN application projects. DePIN utilizes blockchain for incentive distribution and token allocation, requiring the use of public-private keys to generate and verify physical proof of work. To prevent Sybil attacks, DePIN device manufacturers monopolize the generation authority of identity information and expose malicious behavior through social consensus. DePHY provides DID authentication services to ensure the credibility of data sources. DePHY also provides a co-processor to listen to finalized messages on the message network and perform state transitions. Both DePHY and IoTeX choose to collect data off-chain and then roll up to the chain, with DePHY focusing on decentralized data availability layers and IoTeX emphasizing binding handlers to different events.
Puffer Finance's UniFi solution aims to address Ethereum's fragmentation issues and improve network efficiency. This article analyzes how UniFi's Rollup Stack and Preconfirmation AVS enable seamless interoperability between L2<>L2 and L2<>L1 transactions, and their impact on the Ethereum ecosystem.
IoTeX (IOTX) is a decentralized platform for Internet of Things (IoT) devices, ensuring privacy, scalability, and secure device interactions on the blockchain.
