Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency created by the people and for the people. Driven by the grassroots spirit and a bottom-up belief, it has grown from nothing to an asset with a market capitalization exceeding 2 trillion dollars. The concept of a store of value based on trust in mathematics rather than trust in people has changed the world. But today, Bitcoin has become the preferred institutional asset of big companies and governments. One entity holds more than 2.5% of Bitcoin. There are no practical applications built on Bitcoin to attract newcomers. In addition to a store of value, Bitcoin lacks other use cases to expand the market. Ethereum is a trust-neutral, internet-native store of value asset that powers a development platform including stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, prediction markets, decentralized social, decentralized iden

SlowMist Issues Security Advisory for Potential New Risks After Ethereum Pectra Upgrade

On May 8th, the cybersecurity firm SlowMist published a post regarding the potential new risks brought about by the Ethereum Pectra upgrade: For users: The protection of private keys should always be a top priority. Be aware that the contract code at the same address on different chains may not always be the same. Before taking any action, understand the detailed information of the delegated target. For wallet providers: Check if the delegated chain matches the current network. Remind users to be cautious of the risk associated with using a delegation signature with chainID 0, as this signature may be replayed on a different chain. Display the target contract when users sign a delegation to reduce the risk of phishing attacks. For developers: Ensure to perform permission checks during wallet initialization (for example, verifying the signature address via ecrecover). Follow the namespace formula proposed in ERC-7201 to mitigate storage collisions. Do not assume that tx.origin is alw

Analysis: Compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum may currently be severely undervalued

On May 8th, CryptoQuant stated in a post that the ETH/BTC MVRV data indicates that ETH is currently extremely undervalued when compared to BTC, marking the first occurrence since 2019. Historically, such a situation has often led to Ethereum outperforming Bitcoin. Nevertheless, supply pressure, weak demand, and subdued activity may prevent a rebound. The MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value) ratio is an indicator that measures an asset's market value against its "realized value" (generally based on holders' average cost). The ETH/BTC MVRV represents the ratio of Ethereum's market value to realized value in relation to Bitcoin. As depicted in the analysis chart, when the ETH/BTC MVRV drops to the undervalued zone (for example, in 2019), Ethereum has subsequently frequently shown strong performance compared to Bitcoin (price increase). Currently (2025), the ETH/BTC MVRV has once again dropped to the undervalued zone (around 0.4), suggesting that Ethereum may be undervalued relative to
