January 21 – Per GMGN market data, the BSC ecosystem’s new meme token "memes" surged over 160% in roughly two hours. Its market cap jumped from a low of $2.68 million to $13.69 million, while its 24-hour trading volume hit $75.40 million. The token’s latest spike traces to a tweet from the official White House account earlier today that read: "The winning will continue. The deportations will continue. The memes will continue." After Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) retweeted the post, the token rallied sharply—before CZ deleted the retweet. BlockBeats Note: Meme coins are highly volatile, often driven by market sentiment and hype tied to a concept, with no intrinsic value or practical use case. Investors are advised to be mindful of the risks.

On January 21st, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin put forward a "Native DVT (Distributed Verifier Technology)" proposal on the Ethereum Research Forum, calling for directly integrating DVT into the Ethereum staking protocol layer to boost network security and advance validator-level decentralization. Under the proposal, validators can register multiple independent keys and operate collectively as "grouped validators"; a block proposal or attestation is only considered valid once a set threshold of key signatures is met. This mechanism significantly cuts the risk of validator downtime from single points of failure or node compromises, while preserving existing slashing protections when thresholds are set reasonably. Vitalik noted that unlike current DVT schemes—which rely on external coordination layers and have deployment complexities—Native DVT will be embedded directly into the protocol itself. Validators holding multiples of the minimum staking threshold (32 ETH) can set up
