Brazil's largest asset management company advises investors to allocate 3% of their funds to Bitcoin
On December 14, Brazil’s largest asset management firm Itaú Asset Management recommended investors allocate 3% of their funds to Bitcoin to hedge against foreign exchange and market impact risks. The firm cited Bitcoin’s low correlation with traditional local assets as a key reason, calling it a valuable diversification tool. Itaú noted market timing isn’t required and advised sticking to a disciplined long-term investment strategy.
This recommendation aligns with Bitcoin allocation guidance from other major asset managers. Earlier this month, Bank of America approved a maximum 4% Bitcoin allocation proposed by its wealth advisors, while BlackRock has advised a 2% allocation.

Prysm Team Releases Post-Mortem Report on Prysm Beacon Node Resource Exhaustion Incident During Fusaka Upgrade
December 14: The Prysm team published a post-incident review report detailing that on December 4—during Ethereum mainnet’s Fusaka period—nearly all Prysm validator nodes experienced resource exhaustion while processing specific attestations. This led to delayed responses to validator requests and a large number of missed blocks and attestations.
The incident impacted 42 epochs (spanning epoch 411439 to 411480), with 248 missed blocks out of 1344 total slots—an approximate 18.5% miss rate. Network participation briefly dropped to 75%, and validators lost roughly 382 ETH in attestation rewards.
The root cause was Prysm receiving attestations from potentially out-of-sync mainnet nodes that referenced the block root of the prior epoch. To verify these attestations’ legitimacy, Prysm repeatedly replayed historical epoch states and executed resource-intensive epoch transitions, which caused resource exhaustion under high concurrency.
The Prysm team deployed a temporary fix by enabli
