Binance will airdrop 3500 EPT tokens to eligible users

According to HTX market data, the crypto market remains in sideways consolidation, awaiting a directional shift. Bitcoin is trading at $62,800, down 0.3% in 24 hours; Ethereum stands at $1,876, with a 0.35% 24-hour drop. The total crypto market cap fell 0.3% over the same period to $2.226 trillion. Multiple crypto firms and analysts have recently reached a collective consensus that major market volatility is imminent. BTC’s token accumulation at the $63,000 level has hit an extreme peak; technical indicators including Bitcoin’s Average Directional Index signal volatility is set to return, as the sideways range has persisted for a considerable time. The massive short-term token accumulation near $63,000 acts as a potential volatility trigger, with any external event potentially serving as a catalyst. The market is now in a tense pre-directional phase, with significant swings ahead, and investors are urged to exercise high caution. Some altcoins are seeing unusual movements: PORTAL rose 51.3% in 24 hours to $0.0165; ALICE gained 11.7% to $0.1376; DODO climbed 11.4% to $0.022.

According to GMGN market data, the Meme coin "Niu Lai" on BNB Chain has hit a new all-time high, with its market cap surging past $40 million early this morning before pulling back to $26 million at press time. The token’s 24-hour trading volume stands at $44.4 million, and it has rallied 45.6% in the past 24 hours. BlockBeats reminds users that most Meme coins lack practical use cases, are highly volatile, and investors should exercise caution when investing in them.

According to GMGN market data, the BSC-based Meme coin MarsCoin (contract address starts with 0x1706) experienced a rollercoaster intraday price swing. Late yesterday, its market cap surged past $36 million, hitting an all-time high, with a single-day rally of over 400x. The market cap then crashed to $3.3 million, a drop of more than 90% from its peak, leaving only $240,000 in its liquidity pool. A wallet address linked to CZ showed unusual activity yesterday afternoon, burning 4,444 MarsCoin tokens. Last night, CZ announced he will deactivate his public wallet address to prevent his actions from being overinterpreted by the community, and will donate BNB and "Binance Life" to Giggle Academy. BlockBeats reminds users that most Meme coins lack real use cases, are highly volatile, and require cautious investment.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik published an article outlining the core goals of Ethereum’s current scaling strategy. He first acknowledged the Bitcoin community’s pioneering technical contributions, then clarified that Ethereum’s proposed scaling strategy is advancing along that direction. Vitalik emphasized: “We want Ethereum to have both UTXO-style state, dynamic state, and all the advantages of both.” This means Ethereum is seeking to integrate the Bitcoin UTXO model’s strengths in efficient state management, light node verification, and scalability with its own flexible account model, smart contract ecosystem, and dynamic state capabilities. Vitalik reiterated that the ultimate goal of Ethereum’s scaling efforts is to achieve “hyperscaling” for the vast majority of activities on the network, without sacrificing three core attributes: decentralization, node operation convenience, and censorship resistance. Ethereum’s roadmap is shifting from a sole focus on scalability to a systematic effort to strike a better balance between scalability and decentralized resilience.

According to HTX market data, after CZ announced he would donate the 'Binance Life' token from his public address to Giggle Academy and deactivate that address, the Binance Life token rallied 8% in the short term, breaking above $0.54. It is now trading at $0.51, with a 24-hour gain of 8.2%.
