double

Vitalik Buterin posted on the X platform to interpret the Ethereum Foundation's new mission statement, "EF Mandate." He expressed that he will double down on Ethereum and is full of expectations for its future development.Vitalik Buterin pointed out that Ethereum has a unique role in the global digital ecosystem, with its mission being to become a "sanctuary technology" to maintain technological self-sovereignty and promote collaboration in a non-coercive, non-dominant environment. The core goal of Ethereum is to ensure that no individual, organization, or ideology can achieve absolute control in cyberspace and to provide users with an "exit mechanism." The Ethereum Foundation, as the "guardian" of the network, will continue to focus on advancing the CROPS principles, which include censorship resistance and anti-capture, open source, privacy, and security. It will prioritize decentralization, verifiability, network activity, and security at the protocol level while promoting capability upgrades such as account abstraction to reduce reliance on intermediaries.At the application layer, the Ethereum Foundation will strive to create a "zero option" user experience that balances security, privacy, and user autonomy, complementing broader ecosystem projects to jointly promote the development of the Ethereum ecosystem.

According to CoinDesk, DoubleZero, a crypto infrastructure startup co-founded by former Solana Foundation executive Austin Federa, will launch the second phase of its delegation program on March 9, reallocating 2.4 million SOL from its 13 million SOL pool to reward validators operating in underrepresented regions such as São Paulo, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.Each region will receive up to 600,000 SOL in additional delegated staking incentives, aimed at reducing the increasingly concentrated geographical distribution of Solana validators in Europe and introducing the "multicast" data transmission capabilities widely used in traditional finance.Federa stated that one of the unintended consequences of blockchain acceleration is that validators are more likely to co-locate, similar to how early high-frequency trading on Wall Street competed to place servers close to the New York Stock Exchange.

Cryptocurrency market analyst Axel posted on social media, stating that data from the past week reveals an increasingly widening gap between institutional demand narratives and actual capital flows. ETF inflow momentum remains unstable, while net exchange flows continue to stay positive, with tokens flowing into rather than out of trading platforms. Over the past 7 days, the total net outflow from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs reached 11,042 BTC, with only two trading days recording net inflows.On February 12, the single-day outflow reached 6,120 BTC (approximately $416 million), marking the largest outflow day of this period. On February 17 and 18, there were consecutive trading days with outflows of 1,520 BTC and 1,980 BTC, respectively, indicating that institutional accumulation momentum has yet to form.Meanwhile, supply on trading platforms continues to increase. Since early February, net exchange flows have remained positive, ranging from +391 BTC to +841 BTC over the past week. Today's reading is +553 BTC, continuing a trend of positive inflows for two consecutive weeks. This stands in stark contrast to the negative pattern (tokens flowing out of exchanges) observed in January.Axel noted that both key indicators point in the same direction: over the past week, the ETF channel saw an outflow of 11,042 BTC, while supply on trading platforms continues to grow. Institutional demand has not only failed to absorb the new supply entering the market but has also become an additional source of selling pressure. The establishment of a positive accumulation trend requires at least three consecutive trading days of positive ETF net inflows, along with net exchange flows turning negative (indicating tokens are being withdrawn from exchanges for custody accumulation). The ETF flows over the next 3 to 5 trading days will be a key variable in determining market direction.

Due to the previous U.S. government shutdown, the U.S. January non-farm payroll report has been postponed to February 11 (next Wednesday) at 21:30, and the January CPI report has been postponed to February 13 (next Friday) at 21:30.Next week is the last trading week before the Spring Festival, and the dual heavyweight data may trigger a new round of market volatility. Investors are advised to pay attention.

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost published an analysis stating that as Bitcoin's price gradually retraced from its historical high in October to around 50%, the amount of stablecoins flowing into exchanges is increasing. By the end of December 2025, the weekly average inflow of stablecoins (7-day moving average) had dropped to $51 billion, reflecting a lack of demand faced over the past few months. Today, the inflow has reached $98 billion, doubling and just surpassing the 90-day average of $89 billion.This indicates that the pace of capital deployment has accelerated in recent weeks, and the market clearly needs funds. Although the selling pressure in the market remains too high and has not been fully digested, this is still a positive signal as it suggests that investor interest is gradually recovering.

The overall market is still in a deep clearing phase, with no widespread cyclical recovery signals yet.

The prediction market platform Kalshi set a new record with a trading volume of $2.3 billion in the week ending December 21, 92% higher than its competitor Polymarket's $1.2 billion, marking the first time it surpassed the $2 billion mark in a single week.The surge in trading volume is related to Kalshi's integration with the TRON network, supporting TRX and USDT deposit and withdrawal services.

Currently, the sports market remains the largest trading category, with the single market predicting the American professional football championship exceeding $65.8 million in trading volume.The prediction market has experienced explosive growth over the past year due to the U.S. presidential election.
