Cryptocurrency Live News & Updates : Ethereum PoS Network Sees Major Queue Adjustments
Recent developments in the cryptocurrency landscape highlight various shifts and concerns. The Ethereum PoS network is currently facing notable changes in its validator queues, with a substantial exit queue of 888,416 ETH, valued at approximately $3.97 billion, and a withdrawal delay of 15 days. In contrast, the demand for new validators has waned, as indicated by a drop in the activation queue to 286,175 ETH. Meanwhile, financial expert Robert Kiyosaki has raised alarms about a potential stock market crash, suggesting that this could benefit assets like Bitcoin and gold, while posing risks for traditional pension holders. Additionally, Jamie Coutts from Real Vision forecasts that sovereign wealth funds will become significant players in Bitcoin and blockchain staking, potentially using these assets to support national prosperity and even fund social projects in the future. Lastly, Cardano's EMURGO has decided to stop delegating Genesis ADA to community representatives, aiming to enhance governance inclusivity. These developments reflect the dynamic and evolving nature of the cryptocurrency market.
