World Liberty Financial bets $10m on Falcon’s cross-chain stablecoin play

Ethereum has turned 10 years old. And instead of looking back, the team behind 
the second-largest cryptocurrency is laying down a bold plan for the future.

Made—Expert The Ethereum Foundation has released a long-term roadmap called 
the &#8220;Ethereum Lean Plan.” The focus: scale the network massively, keep it 
online 100% of the time, and prepare for future threats—including powerful 
quantum computers. Big Goals For The Next Decade The Foundation says Ethereum 
will continue operating with no downtime, just as it has since its launch in 
2015. The team wants to make sure that even if nation-states or supercomputers 
try to take it down, Ethereum will survive. In addition to that, Ethereum also 
intends to scale considerably. The strategy involves 10,000 transactions per 
second (TPS) on the layer 1 chain and 1 million TPS on layer 2 chains. All of 
these will be accomplished with improved tools, such as zkVMs and Data 
Availability Sampling (DAS), to assist users in being able to verify the chain 
more quickly without having to download everything. All Eyes On Lean Consensus 
And Speed Upgrades The Lean Plan will enhance all three sublayers of 
Ethereum&#8217;s foundation layer. The crew would like to implement what it refers 
to as a &#8220;lean consensus,&#8221; or quicker transaction confirmations and better data 
handling. New technology such as SNARK-friendly code for the Ethereum Virtual 
Machine (EVM) is being developed to speed up and make the network lighter. 
These upgrades will provide finality in seconds instead of minutes, a 
significant boon for users seeking quick and trustworthy results. The 
Foundation also intends to advance cryptography to secure Ethereum against 
quantum attacks. The mission is straightforward: safeguard user balances and 
smart contracts prior to quantum computers posing an actual threat. Related

Ethereum Reserves Reach $10 Billion The big announcement came during 
Ethereum’s 10th anniversary celebration. At the same time, reports showed that 
Ethereum’s strategic reserves have grown to $10 billion. Corporate holdings 
have also jumped, with total assets reaching 2.73 million ETH. ETH is also 
doing well on the market. At the time of the report, the token was trading at 
$3,610 after gaining 47% over the last month. The Foundation called the new 
vision a “generational oath” to keep Ethereum alive, safe, and ready for the 
next wave of users and developers. This 10-year roadmap is ambitious, but if 
the team delivers, Ethereum could become much faster and stronger than it is 
today. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Ethereum has faced an 8% correction since Monday, cooling off from its recent 
rally and slipping below the key $3,850 level. This move suggests that the 
bullish momentum that carried ETH higher in July is beginning to fade, with 
price now entering a critical consolidation phase. Bulls are still holding key 
support levels, but the threat of a deeper correction is growing as selling 
pressure intensifies. Related Reading: Bitcoin New Investor Dominance Rises – 
No Signs of Mass Profit-Taking Yet On-chain data shows signs of profit-taking 
from large investors, adding to short-term volatility and uncertainty. Heavy 
selling volume over the past two days has sparked speculation across the 
market, especially as Ethereum remains below recent local highs. Analysts are 
split in their outlook—some argue that this is a healthy pullback within a 
broader uptrend, while others warn of a potential slide toward the 
$3,400–$3,500 range if sentiment worsens. Despite the recent drop, Ethereum’s 
long-term structure remains intact, with fundamentals like growing DeFi usage 
and Layer 2 adoption continuing to support the narrative. However, the next 
few days will be critical. If bulls can defend current levels and regain 
momentum, ETH could attempt another move toward $4,000. If not, the market may 
see extended downside pressure before a clearer recovery emerges. Ethereum 
Sees Massive Sell-Off In Two Minutes According to top analyst Maartunn, 
Ethereum experienced a dramatic spike in taker sell volume, reaching $335 
million in just two minutes. This massive wave of sell orders signals a key 
moment in the market, one that could mark either the peak of profit-taking or 
the end of panic-driven capitulation. While some interpret the event as large 
investors securing gains after the recent rally, others believe this could 
reflect emotional selling from retail traders spooked by short-term 
volatility. Despite the heavy selling pressure, Ethereum’s long-term bullish 
narrative remains intact. Large players continue to accumulate, taking 
advantage of dips and buying from weaker hands. This activity suggests 
strategic positioning ahead of expected growth in adoption, especially as 
Ethereum cements its dominance in decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world 
asset (RWA) tokenization. ETH spent months in a downtrend earlier this year, 
weighed down by macro uncertainty and regulatory fears. Yet, while the broader 
market showed weakness, sophisticated investors appeared to accumulate. Now, 
with sentiment shifting and the price structure strengthening, Ethereum seems 
well-positioned for the months ahead. The $335 million sell-off highlights 
market vulnerability—but also shows that whales are stepping in. If price 
holds current levels and sentiment stabilizes, Ethereum could see a renewed 
push toward the $4,000 mark as confidence returns. Related Reading: Whale Buys

Tests Support After Breakdown Ethereum (ETH) has officially broken below its 
critical resistance zone near $3,860, signaling increased selling pressure and 
short-term weakness. After maintaining a steady range for nearly two weeks, 
the price has dropped to $3,619 on the 4-hour chart, finding temporary support 
just above the 100-period SMA (green line), currently near $3,670. This 
breakdown comes amid an uptick in bearish volume, suggesting momentum may 
favor sellers in the short term. The 50-period SMA (blue line), located around 
$3,762, has now turned into near-term resistance, capping any immediate 
recovery attempts. If bulls fail to reclaim the $3,760–$3,800 zone, Ethereum 
could risk deeper downside toward the next key support around $3,175 (200 SMA, 
red line) or even $2,852, which served as a base in early July. Related

this weakness, the broader trend remains structurally bullish as long as price 
stays above the 200 SMA. However, bulls must reclaim the $3,860 level and 
build momentum above it to regain strength. Until then, volatility is 
expected, especially as profit-taking and macro uncertainty weigh on 
sentiment. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView
