Ethereum Research Hub | ETH information, history and analysis
Ethereum is a decentralized open-source blockchain system with its own cryptocurrency, Ether. ETH acts as a foundation for many other cryptocurrencies, as well as for decentralized smart contract execution.
Ethereum was first described in a 2013 white paper by Vitalik Buterin. Buterin, along with other co-founders, underwrote the project during its initial public offering in 2014 and officially launched the blockchain on July 30, 2015.
Ethereum’s own goal is to be a global platform for decentralized applications, allowing users from around the world to write and run software that is resistant to censorship, downtime, and fraud.
Launched on April 1, Binance Seeds targets early-career professionals and students, offering mentoring and real-world training through two distinct programs: the Pioneer Talent Program and the Binance Accelerator Program.
The program comes at a time when cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana are experiencing volatility due to political events, influencing investors’ confidence and market stability.

Before confessing, O’Brien destroyed evidence and contemplated fleeing to Dubai when faced with legal scrutiny regarding his activities.
Scheduled for May 7, 2025, Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade addresses prior testnet issues, promising improved scalability and flexibility in transaction fee payments with multiple tokens alongside ETH.
The upgrade will significantly increase validator staking limits and introduce account abstraction, allowing users to settle gas fees with stablecoins in addition to ETH.
Ethereum’s recent price struggles were marked by decreased network activity and a notable increase in supply. Experts highlight that the current inflation rate of 0.73% is not a major concern, signaling a focus on market sentiment and macro trends rather than short-term fluctuations in supply and transactions.
Despite March’s challenges, the upcoming month for ETH may hinge on broader market developments rather than immediate supply changes. Analyst Gabriel Halm emphasizes the importance of network activity and macroeconomic factors in determining Ethereum’s trajectory this April.
Ethereum (ETH) is under pressure, with forecasts suggesting a 15% drop to 1,500 USD if it breaches the support level of 1,770 USD. Intraday traders are predominantly shorting ETH, indicating strong bearish sentiment.
The recent U.S. Tariffs have negatively impacted cryptocurrencies. A crypto whale recently withdrew 2,774 ETH, suggesting opportunistic accumulation despite the bearish market outlook.
Ethereum’s price has decreased by 45%, reaching its lowest point in five years. This decline follows the Dencun upgrade, which has not effectively curbed inflation.
The number of active addresses on the Ethereum network has dropped significantly, from 525,000 to around 333,000. This suggests a decline in user engagement and transaction activity.
The Dencun upgrade aimed for sustainability, yet its aftermath sees Ethereum’s total supply increasing, raising debates about inflation’s impact on the network’s long-term health.
EY transitioned Nightfall to a zero-knowledge rollup, improving speed and efficiency while maintaining privacy. The upgrade reduces complexity and aligns with regulatory changes favoring privacy technology.
The new cryptographic approach enhances transaction finality and eliminates the handling of incorrect blocks, making Nightfall more efficient for corporate clients.
Ethereum’s price has risen to 1,861 USD, marking a 6.4% increase since its low of 1,768 USD on March 30. However, the cryptocurrency struggles to reach the 2,000 USD threshold, with pro traders showing little interest in buying ETH.
Pro traders express indifference toward purchasing ETH, signaling a bearish outlook. Ether futures premiums remain below the neutral threshold, indicating lack of bullish sentiment and risk-averse behavior among traders.
Despite a 49% drop in revenue from Ethereum DApps, stablecoin holdings on the network hit 124.5 billion USD, showing potential for growth. The market remains cautious, with both professional and retail investors displaying reluctance to engage aggressively.
The incident involving a South Korean investor attacking Delio’s CEO highlights the increasing desperation and frustration among investors impacted by the collapse of crypto platforms. Both the attacker’s fine and ongoing court cases signify the rising tensions within the crypto community.
