P2P.org has joined the $4 trillion Canton Network as a validator, marking a significant expansion of institutional blockchain infrastructure. The staking provider will now operate nodes verifying transactions on the network designed for regulated financial institutions. This move strengthens Canton’s validator set alongside major banks like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan.

TRON’s native token TRX has remained largely stagnant, with only a 5% weekly gain and a 0.50% 24-hour uptick, despite a significant spike in on-chain activity. Daily transactions surged to over 9 million, and active addresses hit 2.7 million—the highest since June 6. However, this activity is largely driven by stablecoin transfers rather than new investment, with $185 million in stablecoins exiting the network. TRON’s revenue plunged to a four-year low of $114,000 in a single day, while total value locked (TVL) dipped by 0.50% ($26 million). Though TRX holds above key support levels, continued outflows could pressure its price further as competitors undercut TRON’s low-fee advantage.

Ethereum’s networking bottleneck may soon see relief as key validators, representing 14% of the network’s stake, begin testing OptimumP2P. This new solution leverages MIT-developed Random Linear Network Coding to optimize data propagation, replacing traditional gossip protocols with algebraic equations for efficiency. Initial tests demonstrate 10x lower latency, support for larger message sizes (up to 10MB vs. Gossipsub’s 4MB), and zero message loss under stress. OptimumP2P’s summer deployment on Ethereum’s Hoodi testnet could pave the way for broader Layer 1 blockchain adoption.

The IOTA blockchain network is preparing for its major Rebased protocol upgrade, scheduled for May 5, 2025. This update will transition IOTA into a fully decentralized, delegated Proof-of-Stake network, with 13 highly trusted validators overseeing the Genesis Ceremony to ensure a seamless migration of funds and data from the current Stardust network. The validators, including IOTA Foundation and other key entities, will independently verify the Genesis state to ensure a 1:1 transfer of balances. Post-ceremony, the network will open to new validators, with transaction fees introduced to sustain operations. IOTA anticipates processing over 50,000 transactions per second post-upgrade while expanding its initiatives in Africa.

Ethereum’s upcoming Pectra upgrade, set for testing on the Holesky testnet on February 26 and Sepolia on March 5, aims to enhance staking efficiency and validator operations. Key features include an increase in the Max Effective Balance to 2048 ETH, auto-compounding of rewards, and the introduction of partial withdrawals, all designed to improve profitability and flexibility for stakers. If tests proceed smoothly, the mainnet upgrade could launch in early April.

Rumors of a “second foundation” for Ethereum were dismissed by Lido and P2P.org founder Konstantin Lomashuk, who emphasized the need for a clear purpose if such an entity were to form. Shortly after, a new group called Etherealize launched, funded by the Ethereum Foundation, aiming to serve as an institutional marketing and product arm for the Ethereum ecosystem. Led by Vivek Raman, Etherealize seeks to enhance Ethereum’s appeal to traditional finance, promoting its strengths in security, decentralization, and regulatory clarity.

Konstantin Lomashuk, founder of Lido, has announced the establishment of a Second Foundation for Ethereum amid internal challenges and leadership changes within the Ethereum Foundation. This initiative aims to reinforce decentralization and counteract the growing scam culture in the crypto space, reflecting concerns shared by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. As the Ethereum ecosystem faces declining demand and strategic funding debates, Lomashuk’s stable leadership at Lido positions him to pursue this new direction.

However, bearish pressure persists, and a close below $2,817 would invalidate the bullish outlook.
