Ethereum's developers have finally delivered a timeline for the chain's next big upgrade, Pectra, which promises to introduce an array of speed and efficiency improvements to the second-largest blockchain. At a developer meeting held virtually on Thursday, Ethereum's core team set the upgrade's target release date for March 2025.Pectra combines together eight major upgrades, or "Ethereum improvement proposals" (EIPs), into one package.Among the most anticipated upgrades is EIP-7702, aimed at improving the user-experience of wallets. The upgrade, which was reportedly sketched out by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin in a mere 22 minutes, enables user wallets to be programmed like smart contracts. It's part of a broader strategy to bring account abstraction to Ethereum — a series of features that make setting up and using wallets a lot less clunky.Another highly-anticipated upgrade, EIP-7251, increases the maximum amount validators can stake from 32 to 2,048 ETH. The change addresses a massive nuisance faced by the validators who stake ETH to keep the chain running today: Those who want to invest more than 32 ETH with the network must split their stake between dozens — or sometimes, hundreds — of separate nodes. This isn't just burdensome. It has also resulted in weeks-long lines for setting up new nodes.Pectra was originally on track to be Ethereum’s biggest hard fork to date, and it's the first major improvement to the chain since 2024's Dencun upgrade. A blockchain hard fork is a particularly major kind of software upgrade that, in essence, moves a network over to an entirely new chain.While still significant, the upgrades included in Pectra are stripped-down from some earlier plans. Developers decided in September that earlier plans for Pectra were too ambitious, and they agreed to split the original package into two.Developers plan to test Pectra on Ethereum's Sepolia and Holesky test networks throughout February. If all goes well, developers will proceed to bring Pectra to mainnet in early or mid-March.Ethereum Developers Confirm Plan to Split 'Pectra' Upgrade In Two

BlockBeats News: On January 17th, according to the official website of the SEC, the SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission) filed settlement charges against two consulting firms, Wells Fargo and Merrill Lynch, for their violations in cash clearing plans. The two companies agreed to pay a total of $60 million in civil fines. The reason for filing a settlement claim is that it failed to implement a reasonably designed written policy and procedure to prevent violations of the Consultant Law and its rules related to the company's cash liquidation plan. According to SEC orders, Wells Fargo Advisors and Merrill Lynch offer the Bank Deposit Settlement Plan (BDSP) as the only cash settlement option for most consulting clients, and have gained significant economic benefits from consulting clients' cash in the BDSP. The two companies and their subsidiaries have set the interest rates provided in BDSP, and during periods of interest rate increases, the yield difference between BDSP and other cash settlement alternatives can sometimes grow to nearly 4%.

According to CoinDesk, Galaxy Digital stated in a research report on Wednesday that despite the recent rise in digital asset prices, cryptocurrency venture capital (VC) activity remains below previous bull market levels. In 2024, the total capital allocation of venture capital funds to the cryptocurrency industry is $11.5 billion, lower than in 2023. Galaxy pointed out that in the first few bull markets of 2017 and 2021, VC activity was highly correlated with cryptocurrency prices, but in the past two years, despite the rise of cryptocurrencies, VC activity has remained sluggish. There are multiple reasons for the stagnation of the venture capital market. Galaxy stated that these reasons include the 'barbell market', where Bitcoin and its new spot ETFs dominate the center stage, while Meme's' marginal net new activity 'is limited. These meme coins are difficult to obtain funding support and have a questionable lifespan. The report states that new projects at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency are receiving increasing attention, and upcoming regulatory changes may bring more opportunities for stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), and tokenization. The report suggests that some large investors may gain cryptocurrency exposure through spot Bitcoin ETFs, "rather than turning to early-stage VC investments Galaxy stated that the United States completed the most transactions and invested the most funds in the fourth quarter. Galaxy added that early transactions accounted for 60% of the total investment in the fourth quarter, with stablecoin companies raising the most funds. The report also points out that in 2024, venture capitalists invested a total of $11.5 billion in startups focused on cryptocurrency and blockchain. These funds invested $3.5 billion in 416 transactions in the fourth quarter, a 46% increase compared to the previous quarter.
