Ethereum is expected to increase the Gas Limit to 80 million in January 2026.

2025.12.18 15:09:44

On December 18th, Ethereum’s transaction throughput is set to rise again next month as developers plan to increase the network’s gas limit from 60 million to 80 million in January. However, Ethereum Foundation Developer Operations Engineer Barnabas Busa noted that two client-side optimizations must be completed before the limit is raised again: partial Blob responses at the execution layer and setting a maximum Blob flag at the consensus layer. All Ethereum core developers will reconvene on January 5th to confirm the timeline for raising the gas limit following the second BPO hard fork. The first BPO hard fork occurred on December 9th, boosting blob capacity by 66%; the second, scheduled for January 7th, will add another 66% increase. Ethereum developers and research community members have reached a consensus that the network’s gas limit should hit 180 million by the end of 2026. (Source: Cointelegraph)

Meme coin ANTHROPIG briefly hits a new all-time high of $9 million, paired with ANTHROPICx1L via the Long.xyz platform.

According to GMGN data, the on-chain meme coin ANTHROPIG on the Robinhood chain briefly hit a new high of $9 million, currently trading at $7.61 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of $6.7 million. ANTHROPIG’s core narrative is “Anthropic Pig / Pigified Anthropic”, directly capitalizing on the hype around Long.xyz’s upcoming/already supported Anthropic tokenized 1x long position (ANTHROPICx1L). Trading is conducted via pairing on the Long.xyz platform with ANTHROPICx1L (Anthropic’s 1x long tokenized position). Long.xyz is a meme coin issuance platform on the Robinhood chain, focusing on an innovative “crypto-stock meme” model that ties traditional meme coins directly to tokenized U.S. stocks, forming a dual-driven mechanism of “sentiment speculation + real asset anchoring”. The platform allows users to issue meme tokens and pair them directly with on-chain U.S. stock tokens (such as NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, etc.) instead of traditional USDT or ETH pairs. A portion of transaction fees flows back to the community treasury to accumulate the corresponding U.S. stock tokens, creating a unique value capture model. Anthropic currently has high IPO expectations, but as it remains unlisted, direct long positions are difficult in traditional markets. On-chain platforms like this provide speculative exposure through such tokenized long positions paired with meme coins, representing an upgraded version of the earlier trend of pairing meme coins with stock tokens like NVDA. BlockBeats reminds users that related tokens have high price volatility and significant uncertainty, so users should exercise caution in their investments.

Its current market cap stands at $15.62 million, with a 41% gain in the past hour. CATGPT trades in a pair with OPENAIx1L (OPENAI 1x Long tokenized position) via the Long.xyz platform.

OPENAI currently has high IPO expectations, but as it remains unlisted, traditional markets cannot easily go long on it.

Well-known Trader: Bitcoin’s Persistent Short-Term Volatility Aims to Hunt Longs and Crush Their Confidence

Renowned trader Killa published an analysis noting that Bitcoin has been in repeated choppy swings recently, with the market repeatedly hunting long positions below previous lows—aimed at liquidating leverage and gradually eroding the confidence of long-position holders. Killa argues that this continuous stop-hunting behavior typically signals the market’s ultimate intent to reward longs, with the final sweep marking a local bottom before prices extend higher. A BTC-focused quantitative trader, Killa correctly predicted the peak of the current bull market in May 2025 and boasts over 200,000 followers on X. In mid-April, he shorted Bitcoin at $74,688, and shifted to a long position on June 5 amid the market’s broad sell-off.

Viewpoint: U.S. core inflation has been on a steady downward trend for a long time, so the Federal Reserve has no urgency to raise interest rates in September.

Crypto analyst Darkfost cited market data, noting that based on the latest CPI figures, the U.S. core CPI has hit a low not seen in over five years. While monthly inflation remains elevated, the long-term downward trend since 2022 is clear. Darkfost argues the Federal Reserve (Fed) bases its decisions on long-term developments rather than monthly noise. Although market forecasts put the probability of an interest rate hike as high as 85-90%, Darkfost asserts there is no urgency for the Fed to raise rates in September.
