Ethereum’s next upgrade is about more than just scaling.
Glamsterdam is now entering testing on Sepolia, and two changes matter most: ePBS + BALs.
Here’s the TL;DR 👇
✦ ePBS brings Proposer-Builder Separation into Ethereum’s protocol.
Builders create block payloads, while validators handle proposing them.
This moves a key part of block production closer to Ethereum’s core protocol and reduces reliance on external infrastructure.
✦ BALs track the accounts and storage touched during execution.
That gives clients better information about state access and execution, which becomes increasingly impo

From $8.9 billion in monthly ETF outflows to $18 billion in monthly inflows! Many people ask: Why has gold still fallen even though central banks have been buying for 23 consecutive months? Because pricing power is not in the hands of buyers, but in the speed of sellers. Central banks invest monthly, buying a record 740k ounces in September; leveraged traders dump within minutes, while ETFs sold $8.9 billion in one month. But flip the ledger: central banks bought 345 tons in six months, while ETFs sold just 45 tons in their worst quarter—losing on volume but winning on speed. The turning-point

A trade isn’t only about getting the direction right.
It’s also about choosing the right way to express that idea.
That’s something I’ve been paying more attention to with @ClickOptions_ai.
Instead of entering a leveraged position and constantly worrying about margin requirements, you start with a defined setup:
→ Pick your direction
→ Choose your strike
→ Decide how much you want to commit
→ Know the potential outcome before entering
Your strike can also reflect how aggressive your thesis is.
Expecting a major move?
You can look further OTM.

Alarm bells are ringing! 197,000 people tear away the fig leaf concealing the macro picture! The liquidity scythe is swinging toward crypto retail investors!
The macro never sleeps; data is the scythe. Any blind trading detached from liquidity fundamentals is simply meat on the market makers’ chopping block.
At 20:30 on October 8, U.S. initial jobless claims came in at 197,000, falling well below the 200,000 forecast and the previous 199,000.
This seemingly unremarkable employment data is in fact pulling the rug out from under rate-cut expectations.

$BTC 9-month FOMC minutes released, most officials inclined toward another rate hike
The minutes of the Fed’s September FOMC meeting were released, sending a hawkish signal, with most participating officials believing that further rate hikes remain possible this year. Officials were broadly concerned that inflation was easing more slowly than expected, while geopolitical energy shocks and AI-related capital expenditures could both push up prices. Some policymakers even suggested that the current interest rate was not restrictive enough and that rates needed to be raised further to lock in the

ETH is currently around $2,530, remaining weak intraday. Yesterday, ETH briefly plunged rapidly from around $2,700, with a daily decline of approximately 4.6% on October 7, indicating that the short-term trend has shifted from range-bound strength to a clear risk-release phase.
My short-term conclusion: It is not suitable to blindly chase longs right now; prioritize waiting for key levels to confirm. The risk-reward for shorting a rebound is temporarily better than directly bottom-fishing.

Why hasn’t crypto been able to rally even though the Fed isn’t raising rates?
Many people’s first reaction is: With rate hikes paused, risk assets should finally get some relief. But what trading really focuses on has never been just whether rates are being raised—it’s whether money in the market has become cheaper and more willing to flow into risk assets. That’s exactly the problem now: The Fed pausing further rate hikes doesn’t mean liquidity has already shifted toward easing. The dollar remains relatively strong, Treasury yields are still high, and funding costs haven’t fallen significantl

Since they didn't lock the added liquidity for TON tokens from the start:

That time has come!
So let them sell all the bags they have and leave.
