$ETH #ethnews Ethereum can move beyond Bitcoin-style limits as new scaling tools mature: Vitalik Buterin
PeerDAS is already live on Ethereum's mainnet, while zkEVMs are at an advanced stage, focusing on safety and scalability.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the network is approaching a turning point as two major upgrades, PeerDAS and zkEVMs, move from research to working code.
In a post on X, Buterin argued that the combination could shift Ethereum into “a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of decentralized network,” because it targets the core tradeoff that has historically limited blockchains where a system can be decentralized and have consensus, but bandwidth and throughput stay low.
He framed the problem through two internet-era models. Systems like BitTorrent can move enormous amounts of data in a decentralized way, but they do not need consensus. Bitcoin has strong decentralization and consensus, but it stays low-bandwidth because every node effectively re-checks the same work instead of dividing it up. Ethereum’s next phase, he said, is about getting all three at once.
The first leg is already live. PeerDAS (data availability sampling) is now on Ethereum mainnet, letting nodes verify that data is available without downloading the full dataset.
PeerDAS is a prototype for Data Availability Sampling (DAS), which is essential for Ethereum's scaling via sharding. It allows light clients to check if all shard data has been published by sampling small portions, greatly enhancing scalability while maintaining decentralization and security. The second leg, zkEVMs, is now “production-quality on performance,” Buterin said, meaning the remaining work is safety and proving robustness at scale.
Buterin described this as a practical step toward solving the so-called “blockchain trilemma,” not as a theory, but through “live running code," adding that zkEVM nodes could start appearing in limited form in 2026.
$BTC #btcnews Bitcoin drops below $90,000 after early January pop as BTC ETFs see $480 million outflows
The crypto market's movements are influenced by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and a rally in global government bonds.
Bitcoin fell under $90,000 on Thursday as the early-January crypto rebound cooled, even as the broader risk backdrop stayed supportive with a rally in global government bonds and growing bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Bitcoin was down about 2% over 24 hours but still up more than 3% over the past week, while ether slipped around 3% on the day and remained roughly 6% higher over seven days, according to CoinGecko data.
Spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. saw over $486 million in outflows, with losses spilling over to their second-straight day for the first time this year.
XRP led losses among majors, down about 4.5% over 24 hours but still up 17% on the week. Dogecoin held onto the strongest weekly gain, up more than 22%. Treasuries extended gains across the curve, pushing the U.S. 10-year yield down to around 4.14% as weak economic data reinforced expectations that the Fed may have room to cut rates later this year, per Bloomberg.
A December increase in a gauge of private-sector payrolls fell short of the median economist estimate in a Bloomberg survey, with ADP Research data released Wednesday showed an increase of 41,000, versus a median estimate of 50,000.
Some rate markets briefly nudged up bets that the Fed will deliver at least two more quarter-point cuts by year-end.
A similar bid spread across bond markets in Asia, with Australia and New Zealand debt rising and Japanese bond futures holding gains after a 30-year auction.
That matters for crypto because easier policy expectations tend to support higher-risk assets, particularly when cash is looking for a home.
“Macroeconomics is a crucial factor,” analysts at payments firm B2BINPAY said in an email, describing crypto as a risk asset that depends heavily on bitcoin-led sentiment.
