According to Cointelegraph, Edward Felten, co-founder of Offchain Labs, stated in his keynote speech at EthCC 2026 that Ethereum's layer two networks need to introduce a "dynamic pricing" mechanism to support billions of users and reduce fee fluctuations during network congestion.Felten pointed out that the current drastic fluctuations in Gas prices remain the main means of resisting network overload, but this volatility poses a significant barrier to mainstream users. He stated that a dynamic pricing mechanism could accommodate more transaction volume at lower Gas prices while avoiding infrastructure overload.In response, developer Julian Kors noted that the main drawback of dynamic pricing is its predictability, which is lower than that of EIP-1559. Cyprien Grau, head of the Status Network project, believes that while this model improves fee accuracy, it still does not address structural issues— as competition for scaling intensifies, layer two network Gas fees trend towards zero in the long term, and dynamic pricing is essentially still an income model built on continuously depreciating assets.

According to Jinshi News, the Bank of England will announce its interest rate decision and meeting minutes at 20:00 Beijing time tonight, and the European Central Bank will announce its interest rate decision at 21:15.Due to the impact of the conflict in the Middle East, the monetary policies of the two central banks are facing uncertainties. It is expected that this decision will maintain a wait-and-see approach, but market expectations for future interest rate hikes are rising, and investors should be aware of potential risks.

Ethena announced that the unbonding cooldown period for sUSDe will change to a dynamic mechanism, linked to the amount of liquid stablecoins in the USDe reserves. This means that the current unbonding period for sUSDe, which has been a fixed 7 days since the project launched, will be adjusted to just 1 day. In the future, the cooldown period will dynamically vary between 1 day and 7 days based on the composition of liquid assets in the USDe reserves.

Chinese cryptocurrency analyst Banmuxia stated, "In terms of Bitcoin's daily chart, the MA5, MA10, and MA30 have formed a golden cross, thus creating a subsequent support area in the range of $90,500 to $91,300.If you have previously gone long on Bitcoin in the range of $89,000 to $90,000, $98,000, $103,300, and $112,500 can be considered as planned take-profit points, adjusting judgments based on market dynamics. However, the take-profit levels are no longer suitable entry points for going long, as the risk-reward ratio is very low."

Aave officially announced on platform X that since its inception, Aave has processed nearly 295,000 liquidations, amounting to over $3.3 billion. These liquidations protect the protocol from bad debt and maintain system health. In light of this, based on the V3 liquidation mechanism, Aave V4 introduces a redesigned and optimized liquidation mechanism.Its main advantages include:Introduction of dynamic liquidation thresholds and automated auction mechanisms, reducing manual intervention and improving liquidation speed and capital efficiency;Reduction of slippage and manipulation risks during the liquidation process through the integration of on-chain oracles and MEV (Miner Extractable Value) protection;Support for partial liquidations and batch processing, allowing borrowers to avoid full liquidations at a lower cost.

According to CoinDesk, the Zcash core development team Shielded Labs has released a detailed proposal for a dynamic fee market aimed at addressing network congestion and rising transaction costs.The proposal suggests adopting a dynamic pricing mechanism based on the median fees of the first 50 blocks, and opening priority channels during periods of high demand. Currently, Zcash uses a static fee model, initially set at 10,000 zatoshis and later reduced to 1,000 zatoshis. Although the previous ZIP-317 proposal introduced a behavior-based billing method, it still maintained a predictable low fee structure. With the recent rebound in ZEC prices, an increase in retail users, and heightened institutional interest, developers believe the existing fee model is no longer sustainable. The new proposal will be implemented in phases, starting with off-chain monitoring, then as wallet strategies, and finally with consensus changes after approval. This mechanism avoids the complexities similar to EIP-1559 while preserving Zcash's privacy features.

According to 4E observations, the risk of long positions held by the most watched "CZ counterpart giant whales" on-chain is rapidly easing. Their ETH long positions, which fell to $2623 last week, were only $28 away from the liquidation price of $2595, resulting in a floating loss of $44 million. Now, the floating loss has shrunk to $16.13 million, recovering $27.87 million. To fully break even, the position still requires ETH to rebound to $3200.On the other side, there has been a rare movement from "ancient giants" on-chain. A whale that holds 254,900 ETH obtained from early ICOs has seemingly sold 20,000 ETH after eight months, valued at approximately $58.14 million, with an entry cost of only $0.31. The whale recently deposited 20,000 ETH into FalcoinX at a price of $2906 and currently still holds 3,070 ETH on-chain.On the staking side, SharpLink (SBET) added 443 ETH staking rewards in the past week, accumulating a total of 7,846 ETH since June this year, indicating that the ETH staking yield structure remains robust.In public opinion, Arca CIO Jeff Dorman once again refuted the rumor that "Strategy (MSTR) was forced to sell BTC," emphasizing that unless BTC falls to a level that makes selling meaningless, Strategy does not need to sell assets at all, and the market rumors are largely misunderstandings.4E Commentary: The combination of four signals—whales reducing losses, ancient whales cashing out, stable staking yields, and institutional refutations—indicates that current ETH sentiment is shifting from extreme pessimism to neutrality. Short-term volatility remains high, but the structural risks on-chain are decreasing, and the market is re-entering a "cautiously bullish" observation window.

Canton Network recently issued a statement to clarify the market's misunderstanding regarding its native token, Canton Coin (CC), which has a "supply cap" of 100 billion, and to explain its dynamic supply model.The official statement indicated that CC adopts a supply mechanism similar to Ethereum and Solana, with an infinite cap but a stable actual supply. CC does not have a fixed cap, but each transaction burns CC, offsetting new issuance. The higher the network usage, the more is burned, resulting in lower net issuance, ultimately forming a mint-burn equilibrium (BME).The official emphasized that the value of CC should be measured by market capitalization rather than theoretical supply cap.Supply outlook and key milestones:After entering BME, the total supply will fluctuate stably around network demand. According to the current model, if balance is achieved by 2026, the total supply may be below 50 billion by 2034.On January 1, 2026, a "double halving" will occur: the total block issuance will be halved, and the Super Validator (SV) share will decrease from 48% to 20%.Three years later, another "double halving" will occur, further reducing the SV issuance share to 10%, making it the only major source of inflation that gradually shrinks.Canton Network stated that it has burned over 1 billion CC to date, with a daily burn value of approximately 900,000 USD. As issuance decreases, it is expected that by the early 2030s, the inflation rate of CC will become one of the lowest among mainstream Layer-1s.

According to the analysis conducted by on-chain analysts Ai Yi, Onchainlens, and others, the movements of on-chain whales today are summarized as follows:The "100% Win Rate Whale" slightly increased its positions in BTC and SOL long positions last night. As of the time of writing, its holdings are as follows:ETH Long Position: Holding 39,000 ETH, valued at $151 million, opening price $3,845.33;BTC Long Position: Holding 1,070.02 BTC, valued at $111 million, opening price $110,114;SOL Long Position: Holding 569,050.58 SOL, valued at $105 million, opening price $198.22.On the other hand, the "1011 Insider Whale" deposited 500 BTC into Kraken today. Over the past three weeks, this whale has deposited a total of 6,503 BTC into CEX, valued at $726.54 million.In addition, the "Suspected HYPE Coin Insider" whale continued to increase its position in 5x XPL long positions this morning. Meanwhile, the large holder 0xC26...7869C, which has been looping long on ETH via Aave, sold 2,500 ETH (approximately $9.67 million) 8 hours ago, reducing some of its leverage.The above on-chain information indicates that there is currently a significant divergence between long and short positions, and trading whales are becoming more cautious during the weekend information silence period.
