Ethereum (ETH) has been closely tracking Bitcoin’s price action over the past several days and weeks, although it has been able to climb slightly today in spite of BTC’s bout of sideways trading around its current support level at $8,800.

Ethereum co-founder and founder of Consensys, Joseph Lubin, said that he hopes China’s Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) will allow for interoperability with public permissionless blockchains, including Ethereum.

Recently, Ethereum Co-founder Vitalik Buterin published a proposal regarding the implementation of cross-shard transactions on the Ethereum network. According to the post, one of the main requirements of phase 2 is the ability to move ETH quickly between shards. Buterin added that while cross-shard transactions are feasible in general through receipt mechanisms, cross-shard ETH requires more enshrined in-protocol activity.

Over the past few weeks, Ether (ETH) has tracked Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action and observant traders have deftly played reversals off double bottoms and back to back bounces at the $162 and $153 support. A comparison of the daily and weekly charts of Ether and Bitcoin highlights a number of similarities, chiefly, the Doji candle set right outside the upper arm of a wedge pattern. Ether, like Bitcoin, is consolidating into a tightening range as Bitcoin cools off and searches for direction after the meteoric 42% rally on Oct. 25.

Further to its previous blockchain exploits, the United Nations Children’s Fund, more commonly known as UNICEF, is now taking donations in cryptocurrency. According to an announcement earlier today, UNICEF is setting up a “cryptocurrency fund” so that it can “receive, hold, and disburse donations of cryptocurrencies,” specifically Bitcoin and Ethereum. Thankfully it looks like UNICEF…

Chartering through numbers and data, it is evident that Ethereum (ETH) has some nice gain potential in the coming Bull Run. As quoted by Baron Rothschild himself, “Buy when there’s blood in the streets, even if the blood is your on” pretty much sums up the current Altcoins scenario across the board.

In a world plagued by banking bailouts, galloping debt and currency devaluations, a solution is needed. Enter decentralized finance, or DeFi, the future of banking where you are the bank. Ethereum is the platform of choice for DeFi, the Dai stablecoin is hitting new highs, and Maker is moving.

Bitcoin’s surge from $7,300 to $10,600 woke up cryptocurrency bulls after a long slumber. And as normal, bulls have pushed extremely bullish price predictions, calling for BTC and its ilk to surge much higher by the end of the year.

The inflow of DeFi projects based on Ethereum (ETH) has coincided with a recent uptick in development activity. Ethereum core developers keep adding new EIP to the protocol, and the recent uptick follows a period of low activity around the date of DevCon.

Axie Infinity, an Ethereum-based collectible game with PvP battles, is steadily becoming one of the more popular blockchain games available today.

Once you’ve decided to become an Ethereum miner and have your hardware ready to go, the next big question you’re likely to consider is whether you should join an Ethereum mining pool.

Dan Conway, a former middle manager from San Francisco, has recently shared a fascinating story about how one bold bet on Ethereum completely changed his life.

In a recent poll, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin asked whether it would ever be appropriate to conduct a hard fork to revert chain activity after a serious hack. The overwhelming response was no.

Vitalik Buterin, Creator of Ethereum, spoke on the Proof-of-Work v. Proof-of-Stake debate, during an interview at ETHWaterloo 2. Buterin gave his opinion on why depending on transaction fees once the block issuance has hit the mark can pose security risks to a network.

Ethereum (ETH) has been caught in a bout of consolidation within the mid-$180 region, which has been largely guided by Bitcoin’s inability to garner any momentum that pushes it away from the lower-$9,000 region, which is where it has been trading for the past several days.

Perhaps no one is more involved in turning Ethereum into a new way of doing business than Joe Lubin, an Ethereum cofounder along with Vitalik Buterin and others, and the founder of ConsenSys, a company that largely consists of interconnected startups building every aspect of what they call the Global Computer. After skyrocketing to a leadership position in 2015 in the blockchain world, thanks to the founding of ConsenSys and his willingness to see potential in far-fetched ideas, Lubin and his amorphously-governed company suffered a setback at the end of 2018 when he had to lay off more than 10% of his staff thanks in part to longer than expected time to build the technology, and slower than expected adoption.

Ethereum has been preparing for its most recent upgrade, the “Istanbul” hard fork which is scheduled for December 4. This is the latest fork in the eventual transition to the new network, Ethereum 2.0, which is expected to be launched next year.

The world of cryptocurrencies has developed at a breakneck pace over the past few years, and now it has emerged that tech behemoth Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) is going to work with Ethereum to create new digital assets.

Over the past week Ether (ETH) has shown that it is not permanently hinged to Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action and notably, a number of altcoins are also beginning to forge their own paths higher.
