Ethereum’s biggest protocol overhaul in years moves into its final development stage
Ethereum developers have entered the final development phase of Glamsterdam, running devnets with all planned EIPs before moving to testnets.
The upgrade, expected in the second half of the year, is being described as one of the network’s biggest changes since the Merge.
Ethereum developers are entering the final stretch of work on Glamsterdam, the network's next major upgrade, as teams begin testing a version of the fork that includes the planned protocol changes.

Developers are currently running developer networks, or "devnets", early testing environments used by Ethereum developers to trial new code and protocol changes before they reach public testnets, containing the full suite of Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) slated for the upgrade, marking what they describe as the final phase before the codebase is hardened and deployed to public testnets.

"We're working on devnets with all the EIPs in them right now," said Parithosh Jayanthi, a core developer at a devops engineer at the Ethereum Foundation. "This is the last phase before we work on hardening and then shipping the testnets. There's no fixed timeline, but we've made massive progress."

While a firm activation date for the upgrade has yet to be determined, Glamsterdam is currently expected to go live during the second half of the year.

Stellar has climbed more than 14% over the past 24 hours, making $XLM the best-performing asset among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization as fresh ecosystem developments have drawn renewed buying interest.

According to CoinGecko data, $XLM traded near $0.22 on June 16 after surging from levels below $0.19 earlier in the week.

The rally transpired alongside a sharp rise in trading activity, with Stellar network volume reportedly jumping to nearly $880 million from about $153 million over the weekend.

Strong buying interest has emerged as payment-focused decentralized finance projects, commonly known as PayFi, continue to attract capital.

Market participants have linked part of Stellar's advance to the sector's recent outperformance, which has exceeded gains across much of the altcoin market.

Institutional adoption has also added support. Spiko Finance recently announced that it had tokenized $1 billion in assets on the Stellar network, a milestone that strengthens Stellar's standing in the real-world asset tokenization sector.

The development has increased attention on the network's role as infrastructure for regulated financial products and on-chain asset issuance.

Enterprise payment activity expanded further after Zebec launched its payroll platform on Stellar.

The service allows employees and contractors to receive salary payments directly into digital wallets, while Mastercard-backed debit cards and local currency conversion tools provide additional spending options.

The rollout adds another real-world use case to Stellar's payment network and could contribute to sustained transaction activity.

Simultaneously, in a recent SEC filing, London-headquartered VersaBank outlined its Digital Meteor initiative, which introduces Real Bank Tokenized Deposits on Ethereum, Algorand, and Stellar.

Coinbase Is Bringing 1:1 Backed Tokenized Stocks!

A New Standard for Tokenized Equity

@Coinbase is entering the tokenized stock space with a product it says sets a higher bar than what the market currently offers. The exchange plans to introduce tokenized stocks backed one-for-one by underlying U.S. equities, allowing users to own, trade, hold, and redeem equities on a blockchain while receiving dividends automatically.

CEO Brian Armstrong said the new products differ from many existing tokenized stock offerings by providing direct equity ownership rather than derivative or synthetic exposure. That is a meaningful distinction. Most competing products in this space are structured as IOUs or synthetic contracts that track a stock's price without granting the holder any claim to the underlying shares.

Zcash [$ZEC] has shown relative upside strength over the past three days, closing at higher highs. The altcoin breached the $500 resistance and touched a local high of $545 before slightly retracing.

As of this writing, Zcash traded at $525, up 5.94% on the daily charts, signaling dominant upside volatility. With Zcash trading above $500, short-position holders are incurring massive losses.

As the market’s upside momentum continued, bears were forcefully flushed out, while others closed positions to avoid further losses. According to Onchain Lens, a wallet linked to karna0x fully closed its $9.8 million $ZEC short position.

In the process, the whale incurred a loss of over $3.8 million. The decision to close indicated the whale saw the risk of liquidation as the market continued to pump.

In fact, Zcash short-position holders have seen massive liquidations. CoinGlass data showed that over $11 million in short positions were liquidated, while only $2.2 million in longs were liquidated.

Historically, a short squeeze has always inspired an uptrend. As traders continue to fund their positions to avoid liquidations, demand for the asset recovers. As a result, momentum strengthens, further flashing out more bears and leading to a strong market reaction.

Ideally, the prevailing market conditions position Zcash towards such an outcome.

On top of that, threatened by rising short liquidations, other traders flipped to longs. In fact, the altcoin’s Long/Short Ratio jumped to 1.095 at press time.
The ratio’s reclamation of 1 suggests that most traders turned bullish and have been anticipated more gains.Zcash has recovered significantly since crashing from $630 to $251. Amid this market recovery, upside momentum has strengthened significantly, with bulls retaking control.
