researchers and developers expect 2026 to be a key year for Ethereum to achieve exponential scaling based on zero-knowledge proofs (ZK). At that time, some Ethereum validators will no longer re-execute transactions but will directly verify ZK proofs, fundamentally changing the way the blockchain operates, with a scale comparable to Ethereum's 2022 transition from PoW to PoS known as "The Merge."Ethereum researcher Justin Drake stated that the first batch of validators will begin verifying the ZK proof of each block instead of re-executing all transactions, which will bring immediate scaling effects to Layer 1 and lay the foundation for 10,000 TPS in the future. Currently, the Ethereum mainnet throughput is about 30 TPS. During Devconnect, Drake demonstrated that ZK proof verification can be completed using an old laptop, and it is expected that by the end of 2026, about 10% of validators will switch to ZK verification mode (Lean Execution Phase 1). This shift will significantly reduce hardware requirements for validator nodes while maintaining network decentralization.Ethereum Besu client engineer Gary Schulte pointed out that in the future, computationally intensive tasks will mainly be undertaken by block builders and ZK provers, while ordinary validators will only need to perform lightweight verification, creating conditions for increasing the gas limit and overall throughput. In the roadmap, Ethereum is currently still in Phase 0 (voluntary validation), expected to enter Phase 1 (partial validator switch) in 2026, and move into Phase 2 in 2027, which will mandate block producers to generate ZK proofs, achieving full ZK execution.

Liberal Democratic Party of Japan and the Japan Innovation Party announced the tax reform outline for the fiscal year Reiwa 8 on December 19, proposing to classify cryptocurrencies as financial products that contribute to the formation of national assets and plan to introduce a separate taxation system.According to the plan, spot trading, derivatives trading, and ETFs of cryptocurrencies will be included in the scope of separate taxation, and trading losses will be allowed to be carried forward and deducted for three years, aligning the tax system with that of financial products such as stocks. It is worth noting that this reform plan does not cover all cryptocurrency transactions; income-generating transactions such as staking and lending may still be subject to the current tax system. At the same time, NFTs are not explicitly included in the reform scope and may continue to be comprehensively taxed as miscellaneous income. Exchanges will submit user trading reports to tax authorities, and higher tax compliance requirements will be imposed on investors in the future. Experts advise investors to organize their trading records in advance to smoothly cope with the implementation of the new tax system.

according to Coinglass data, if Ethereum falls below $2900, the cumulative long liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach 802 million. Conversely, if Ethereum breaks above $3000, the cumulative short liquidation intensity on major CEXs will reach 228 million.The liquidation chart does not show the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the exact value of contracts being liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually represent the relative importance of each liquidation cluster compared to nearby clusters, that is, the intensity. Therefore, the liquidation chart shows the extent of impact when the underlying price reaches a certain level. Higher "liquidation bars" indicate a stronger reaction caused by a liquidity wave when the price reaches that point.

&nbsp;according to CoinPost, Japan announced the tax reform outline for fiscal year 2026, which proposes different directions for the taxation system of virtual currencies and gradually positions crypto assets as "financial products that contribute to the formation of national assets."The tax reform outline lists "spot trading," "derivatives trading," and "ETFs" of virtual currencies as subjects for separate taxation, but not all crypto transactions are included in the new system; staking, lending income, and NFT transactions may still be subject to comprehensive taxation.
