BlockBeats News, February 28th, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a post discussing Ethereum's scaling roadmap, pointing out that scaling should be divided into two stages: short-term and long-term. Short-term scaling mainly relies on the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, which will be achieved through block-level access lists to enable parallel validation, extending the ePBS mechanism's block validation window, and Gas repricing to measure actual operation time, while introducing multi-dimensional Gas to differentiate different resource consumption and avoid state bloat issues.During the Glamsterdam upgrade phase, the "state creation cost" will be initially separated, allowing state creation Gas to not count towards the regular Gas limit, thus supporting larger contract creation. The EVM will maintain compatibility through a "reservoir" mechanism to ensure that subcalls and Gas operations continue to function as normal. The future will gradually transition to multi-dimensional Gas pricing to achieve long-term economic sustainability while retaining flexibility.The long-term scaling will focus on ZK-EVM and blobs. Through iterations of the PeerDAS, the ultimate goal of blobs is to achieve 8MB/s data availability, enabling block data to directly enter blobs for validation without the need for full download. ZK-EVM will adopt a phased rollout, first allowing 5% network usage in 2026, expanding to a larger proportion in 2027, and ultimately transitioning to a "3-of-5" multi-proof system that allows nodes to verify without re-execution, ensuring security and a very high Gas limit.

The US President Donald Trump blacklisted Anthropic, mandating a federal ban on its technology following an intense disagreement between the AI firm and the Pentagon on matters regarding the military’s application of this technology. At this moment, negotiations between Anthropic and the Department of Defense has stalled, as both sides refused to compromise while the deadline to reach an agreement approached. Concerning the Pentagon’s request , sources said officials at the United States Department of Defense headquarters demanded that Anthropic loosen its ethical guidelines, failure to which could result in severe repercussions. Meanwhile, Trump shared a post on Truth Social outlining his viewpoint on the matter. In the post, he noted that, “The Leftwing extremists at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE by trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War and forcing them to follow their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution,” further adding that, “WE will determine our Country’s future – NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI firm led by people who don’t understand what the real world is like.” Notably, during this time, the deadline was merely one hour away. Anthropic-Pentagon’s dispute sparks security concerns Earlier, Anthropic declined Pentagon officials’ request for contractors to grant approval for the utilization of their systems for any lawful purpose. At this point, the AI firm refused to ease limitations that prevented Claude from being used effectively for mass domestic surveillance or for fully autonomous weapons. Given the intensity of the situation, Trump characterized the incident as a significant threat to US troops and national security. In a statement, he argued that, “Their selfishness is putting American lives at risk, our troops in danger, and our national security in jeopardy.” Following Trump’s argument, reports highlighted that Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, demonstrated efforts to calm things down. Even so, several analysts admitted that reducing tensions remains a tough task . On the other hand, Pete Hegseth, the United States Secretary of Defense, argued that labeling Anthropic a supply chain risk threatened to terminate the connection between US military vendors and the AI company. Hegseth made these remarks roughly 24 hours after the CEO of Anthropic, Dario Amodei, issued a statement alleging that his firm cannot comply with the Defense Department’s request. According to him, the request was against Anthropic’s conscience. This situation prompted analysts to conduct research, which revealed that the defense contract dispute centers on AI in national security. In the meantime, after months of private dialogue, the AI firm recently decided to make the discussion public, noting that the new contract language, framed as a compromise, was written in legal jargon that effectively rendered the stated protections susceptible to constant neglect. Generative AI secures popularity among several companies amid the AI boom era Regarding the heated conflict between Anthropic and the Pentagon, reports highlighted that the generative AI field leverages advanced models to create realistic but inaccurate software code, text, images, and other outputs that closely mimic human creativity. To achieve this outcome, some sources noted that the models function by identifying underlying patterns in the training data to produce context-aware responses to user inputs. At this point, it is worth noting that Generative AI moves beyond mere analysis to actively generating content. According to analysts’ research, this capability could revolutionize numerous industries, including defense. At the same time, developing these models poses serious challenges, including ethical concerns and potential existential risks. Get seen where it counts.

Ethereum is attempting to stabilize around the $2,000 level as the broader crypto market shows tentative signs of relief. After weeks of persistent pressure, price action has paused its decline, but sentiment remains fragile. The recent rebound has helped ease immediate downside momentum, yet the technical structure still reflects a market recovering from significant damage rather than entering a confirmed uptrend. Related Reading: Engine Stalled: How The $8 Billion ‘October Shock’ Left Bitcoin’s Spot Market In A Liquidity Trap According to a CryptoQuant analyst, Ethereum endured a severe liquidation-driven sell-off in recent weeks, falling sharply from local highs near $3,300 to lows around the $1,850 region. The intensity of this move becomes particularly evident when analyzing the Net Taker Volume (30-day moving average), a metric that measures aggressive market order activity. In February, this indicator plunged to its most negative level since last November, highlighting the dominance of aggressive sellers during the decline. Such extreme negative readings typically reflect panic-driven execution rather than orderly repositioning. When taker volume skews heavily to the sell side, it often signals forced exits, stop-outs, and cascading liquidations across derivatives markets. While Ethereum’s attempt to hold $2,000 suggests that immediate selling pressure may be easing, the underlying data confirms that the market recently absorbed one of its most intense bouts of downside aggression in months. Net Taker Volume Signals Capitulation — But Not Confirmation The dominance of towering red bars in Ethereum’s Net Taker Volume underscores how aggressively sellers controlled the order books during the recent decline. When taker sell orders consistently exceed taker buy orders by such a magnitude, it reflects urgency. This is not passive distribution; it is market participants hitting bids aggressively, often under stress. The combination of panic-driven exits, systematic short positioning, and forced long liquidations likely amplified the move from $3,300 to sub-$1,900 levels. Notably, the only meaningful cluster of green bars — representing aggressive buying — emerged in mid-January, coinciding with Ethereum’s local peak near $3,400. That brief resurgence in demand failed to sustain itself, after which sell-side momentum reasserted control. Structurally, this pattern suggests that upside liquidity was exhausted before a broader deleveraging cycle unfolded. Extreme negative Net Taker Volume readings are often associated with capitulation phases. Historically, such flushes can mark exhaustion points, as aggressive sellers eventually deplete themselves. However, capitulation alone does not confirm reversal. For a structural shift to materialize, the imbalance must normalize. A contraction in red bars followed by sustained green dominance would signal renewed conviction from aggressive buyers.

The chart shows a clear breakdown from the $3,400–$3,600 region earlier this year, followed by a sequence of lower highs and lower lows — a textbook downtrend formation. The recent bounce has not altered this structure. Price is currently trading below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, all of which are sloping downward. This alignment confirms bearish momentum across short-, medium-, and long-term horizons. Notably, the 50-day average has accelerated lower, reflecting sustained selling pressure rather than a temporary liquidity vacuum. Related Reading: Digital Gold Is Dead: The Institutional Architecture Binding Bitcoin To The Nasdaq In The 2026 Downturn The sharp decline toward the $1,850 zone was accompanied by a significant spike in volume, suggesting forced liquidations and aggressive distribution. Since then, volume has moderated during consolidation, indicating that while panic may have eased, conviction among buyers remains limited. Technically, $2,000 functions as a psychological pivot rather than confirmed support. A sustained move above the 50-day average would be required to signal improving momentum. Conversely, failure to hold the current range could reopen downside risk toward deeper liquidity pockets. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

It has been a brutal few months for Dogecoin in terms of price action. At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading just below $0.10, below all of its moving averages, and sitting more than 86% below its all-time high. The price action looks bad for Dogecoin; however, a look at the on-chain data tells an entirely different story of resilience and network activity that’s being ignored. If history is any guide, this is exactly the kind of environment before a major recovery. Dogecoin’s Network Growth Price is often the last thing to move during rallies. Before any significant rally materializes, bullish sentiment tends to show up first in the data, and right now, Dogecoin’s network data is showing signs that demand serious attention. At the time of writing, daily active addresses are currently around 54,500, having recently spiked to nearly 58,000 this week. Even more notable is the longer-term trend. As noted by crypto analyst PennybagsCX on X, average address activity has grown from 806,000 earlier in the year to above 1.05 million in recent readings. This growth is happening during a price dip, showing participants are choosing to engage with the network at a time when it would be easy to walk away. For context, Dogecoin currently ranks third among all Proof-of-Work blockchains by 24-hour active addresses, commanding a 12% share of total PoW activity and outperforming blockchains like Dash and Bitcoin Cash. Buyers Are Hunting, Long-Term Holders Holding Derivatives’ positioning is also starting to tilt bullish. According to Coinglass’ long/short ratio data across Binance, OKX, and Bybit, retail traders are heavily positioned on the long side. On Binance, the retail long/short ratio stands at 2.29, while whale accounts show a ratio of 2.73, both indicating bullish sentiment. Whale positions on Binance also have a 1.94 long bias. Retail positioning on OKX is more pronounced, with a long/short ratio of 3.49, categorized as extremely bullish. Whale accounts on OKX show a 1.61 ratio leaning bullish, although whale positions currently have a more cautious stance in open exposure at 0.79. Bybit data shows similar optimism, with retail at 2.98 and whale accounts at 2.99 on the long side. Whale positions on Bybit are also close to neutral at 0.99, suggesting balanced positioning but not outright bearish pressure. The only note of caution in the data is Smart Money Sentiment, which reads as bearish across all three of the biggest Dogecoin exchanges. Another telling signal has been the Taker Volume Ratio, which recently climbed to around 63%. This means traders executing market buy orders are dominating the activity. When the ratio moves above 50%, it means a stronger demand, as buyers are willing to pay prevailing prices. Furthermore, Dogecoin’s Profit-Days metric has surpassed 1,100 for the first time in its history . This long-cycle indicator moves based on sustained profitability among holders. History shows that moves above 800 days are major turning points that were followed by parabolic runs in subsequent months.

The MVRV Z-score reached -3.38 in the first week of February. The previous two cycle bottoms saw readings of -1.6 and -1.4, respectively.

Gox, proposed a Bitcoin hard fork yesterday to recover around 80,000 bitcoins stolen in the 2011 hack, currently worth over $5.2 billion, which have been dormant in the related addresses for 15 years.The proposal suggests adding specific consensus rules to allow the use of these funds through signatures from Mt. Gox recovery addresses and to return them to the creditors through an existing court-supervised rehabilitation process. The proposal has sparked controversy, with supporters seeing it as a limited measure to address a specific theft case, while opponents are concerned that this move could undermine Bitcoin's immutability principle and set a dangerous precedent.
