Amid growing interest in practical ways to scale and safeguard blockchains, hardware‑based approaches are coming into focus. The role of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) in blockchain systems has gradually expanded from privacy-preserving projects to applications that improve scalability and enable secure offchain computation. Currently, over 50 teams are working on TEE-based blockchain projects. In this article, Cointelegraph Research explores the technical foundations of TEEs in blockchain systems and examines key use cases of this technology.Mechanics of TEEs in blockchainsMost blockchain technology relies on cryptography and distributed computing to maintain security. TEEs add a different approach, namely, hardware-level trust. A Trusted…

Finance ministers of European Union member states agreed Friday on a pathway to set limits on how much digital euro an individual can hold, moving the bloc closer to launching a central bank digital currency.The decision was announced during a Eurogroup press conference following the Economic and Financial Affairs Council meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Friday.

The upgrade introduces major scalability changes, aimed at making the network more efficient. ​​Two follow-on Blob Parameter Only upgrades will gradually raise blob capacity from 6 to 15, then 21 blobs per block, boosting data throughput for rollups. Ethereum developers have officially confirmed that the Fusaka upgrade, the next major network update, will roll…

This Sunday, more than a hundred well-dressed guests gathered inside a sunlit warehouse in Brooklyn’s Navy Yard for the unveiling of Canadian designer Jason Wu’s latest collection. But what they encountered first was not clothing, but a ten-piece installation. Arranged in a loose maze across the floor were seven-foot-high framed screen prints by American artist Robert Rauschenberg, presented as part of the artist’s centennial and on loan from his New York–based foundation. Then the main event began, with models dressed in clothes referencing Rauschenberg’s textiles. The pieces were layered with image transfers from 1970s newspapers and magazines, sourced from months…

Spotting early accumulation activity before a price rally is a challenge for crypto traders. The risk is that even whales that accumulate early cannot always predict the next move. However, as market sentiment around altcoins improves, several tokens show exchange reserves hitting new lows. This trend could be a positive sign in the current market context. 1. Pepe (PEPE)Sponsored PEPE benefits from being an Ethereum-based meme coin at a time when ETH is delivering the strongest market performance. Despite this, PEPE’s price has not pumped as strongly as expected. Technical analysts observe that its price action has been narrowing within…

By Omkar Godbole (All times ET unless indicated otherwise)The SEC, as market regulator, now couldn’t be more pro-crypto if it tried! On Thursday, a spot ETF tied to one of the least “serious” cryptocurrencies — dogecoin DOGE$0.2707 — debuted in the U.S. alongside payments-focused XRP.Unlike bitcoin BTC$116,252.79, ether (ETH) and stablecoins, which act as a stores of value and facilitate decentralized finance, memecoins like DOGE are driven entirely by tweets, and cult-like fandom, just like baseball or pro-wrestling cards. Some observers are understandably worried that wrapping such an asset in an ETF gives it a false veneer of legitimacy, putting…

The Securities and Exchange Commission approved generic listing standards that allow NYSE Arca, Nasdaq, and Cboe BZX to list spot crypto exchange-traded products without a product-specific 19b-4, compressing the path to market to as little as 75 days.Per Reuters, exchanges now have a clear rulebook for accelerating the market introduction of spot products for eligible assets, and issuers are preparing lineups that extend beyond bitcoin and ether.This change reframes the near-term ETF roadmap into a launch calendar and a flows contest. The calendar depends on whether an asset meets the generic tests that exchanges reference, including the presence of regulated…

The crypto market continues to trade cautiously as it seeks fresh catalysts following the Fed rate cut. BTC has settled into a tight range, with $118,000 serving as resistance for the bulls to overcome.Open interest in bitcoin futures has jumped to 149K BTC, ending a two-month downtrend.

This Friday, we examine Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, Binance Coin, and Hyperliquid in greater detail. Ethereum (ETH) Ethereum closes another week around $4,500 with barely any change in price compared to our last update. Since early August, ETH has been found in a flat trend with momentum stalling while volume is falling. Because of this, the price is stuck in an extensive range between $4,868, acting as resistance, and $4,000, acting as support. Until one of these levels breaks, it is unlikely for Ethereum to make any significant moves. Looking ahead, the longer the asset consolidates in this range, the larger…
