Square Introduces Bitcoin POS Payments In Major US Expansion

Square, a financial services company, has launched a major US expansion of its Bitcoin point-of-sale payment system. As part of the initiative, businesses that accept Bitcoin will pay no processing fees for the next two years, until the end of 2026. The program is designed to help small merchants adopt new payment methods without incurring transaction fees. By default, merchants receive US dollars in their accounts instantly, eliminating exposure to Bitcoin's price volatility. However, they can also choose to "stack" a portion of their daily sales in Bitcoin. The rollout began in October 2025 and is scheduled to be available to all eligible Square users by November 10, though businesses in New York are currently excluded due to state regulations. This move is part of a larger trend of financial companies integrating digital assets into traditional services, such as using cryptocurrency as collateral for mortgages and loans.

Ethereum Treasury Bitmine Nears 4% Supply Share After New 71,179 ETH Buy

Ethereum treasury company Bitmine has purchased an additional 71,179 ETH (worth approximately $146 million) over the past week, increasing its total holdings to 4,732,082 ETH. This represents 3.92% of the total ETH supply, bringing the firm closer to its goal of owning 5%. Bitmine chairman Thomas Lee stated the company is accelerating its accumulation, believing ETH is in the final stages of a "mini-crypto winter." The firm has also staked 66% of its reserves (3,142,643 ETH) to earn passive income. In related news, the Ethereum Foundation has also staked a record $46.2 million worth of ETH. Despite recent market dip below $2,000, ETH has since recovered to over $2,060.

BitMine enters Ethereum staking race with new MAVAN platform – Details

BitMine Immersion Technologies, the world's largest Ethereum treasury firm, has launched a new ETH staking platform called MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network) with the goal of becoming the leading staking provider. The company has already staked 3.14 million ETH worth over $6.8 billion and holds a total of 4.6 million ETH, representing 3.8% of the total supply. It aims to control 5% of the circulating supply and generate $300 million in annual yield. While staking all its ETH would make it the second-largest platform, surpassing Binance, it would still need an additional 5 million ETH to overtake current leader Lido, which holds nearly 9 million staked ETH. BitMine also plans to expand into other proof-of-stake networks and blockchain infrastructure in the future.

Top 7 staking platforms of March 2026

Staking allows users to earn rewards by holding cryptocurrencies using the Proof-of-Stake mechanism. It can be done through centralized (CeFi) or decentralized (DeFi) platforms. The top staking platforms include Rocket Pool (ETH staking with rETH tokens), Gate.io (CeFi and DeFi options), Bitfinex (soft staking with no fees), Nexo (flexible staking with high security), eToro (user-friendly with CopyTrader), Gemini (regulated with Basic and Pro options), and SushiSwap (DeFi staking with governance rights). Staking offers passive income and supports blockchain networks, but users should research platforms based on their needs.

「Cyberpunk Currency」, Why Do I Continue to Hold ETH?

Summary: The author argues that Ethereum (ETH) should be viewed as "cyberpunk money" rather than through traditional narratives like "digital gold" or "system equity." Unlike Bitcoin, which is a pure store of value, ETH is fundamentally tied to the Ethereum network, granting holders executable system rights—such as purchasing transaction inclusion, participating in consensus via staking, and accessing a neutral execution layer. This makes ETH a routing tool in a cyberpunk world where adversarial entities (corporations, governments, individuals) coexist and transact on a credibly neutral platform. Key to ETH's value is its role in a circular economy: utility drives demand for block space, which burns ETH and increases scarcity, thereby enhancing security and reinforcing Ethereum's neutrality. The author emphasizes that ETH must maintain economic coupling with Layer 2 solutions and resist fragmentation to preserve its cyberpunk character—where no single entity can control the settlement layer, ensuring property rights and execution even under pressure.

Buterin Puts Ethereum On Notice: Pass The ‘Walkaway Test’

Vitalik Buterin argues that Ethereum's long-term credibility depends on passing the "walkaway test," meaning the blockchain must remain usable and secure even if its core developers abandon it. He emphasizes that Ethereum should not rely on continuous human-managed upgrades to stay competitive. Instead, the protocol must reach a state where it can "ossify" without losing value, ensuring it remains a trustless base for applications. Key prerequisites include achieving quantum resistance, scalability through ZK-EVM and PeerDAS, managing state growth via statelessness and expiry, and hardening proof-of-stake economics. Buterin stresses addressing these issues now to avoid perpetual redesign and ensure decentralization and censorship resistance endure.

ETH Staking Data Reversal: Exits Drop to Zero VS Entries Surge by 1.3 Million—When to Buy the Dip?

Ethereum's staking dynamics have recently undergone a notable shift. As of January 7, the exit queue for ETH staking has been fully cleared, indicating that the prolonged period of withdrawal pressure has been absorbed. Concurrently, the entry queue has surged significantly, with approximately 1.3044 million ETH now waiting to be staked—a stark contrast to the situation in mid-September when over 2.66 million ETH were queued to exit amid higher prices. This reversal, while reflecting improved market structure, is largely driven by institutional reallocation rather than broad retail momentum. Notably, BitMine, a major digital asset treasury, staked around 771,000 ETH in recent weeks, accounting for a substantial portion of the new entries. This suggests the trend is influenced more by long-term yield strategies than immediate bullish sentiment. Beyond staking, Ethereum's fundamentals show signs of broader improvement: Q4 2024 saw a record 8.7 million smart contracts deployed, stablecoin transfer volume exceeded $8 trillion, and gas fees hit all-time lows. Exchange reserves of ETH remain near multi-year lows, reducing immediate sell-side pressure. Additionally, the significant disparity between Ethereum’s TVL dominance (59%) and its market cap share (~14%) may indicate undervaluation relative to its economic activity. In summary, while the staking shift alone may not signal a price turnaround, it aligns with other strengthening on-chain metrics, suggesting Ethereum is undergoing a phase of structural recovery after a deep correction.

Vitalik May Not Realize That Ethereum's Transition to PoS Actually Buried a Financial 'Hidden Bomb'

After transitioning from Proof-of-Work (PoW) to Proof-of-Stake (PoS), Ethereum introduced staking rewards for ETH, creating a "maturity mismatch" arbitrage opportunity with Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs) and Liquid Restaking Tokens (LRTs). This led to leveraged lending, recursive borrowing, and yield arbitrage on platforms like Aave, becoming a major DeFi use case—similar to traditional finance’s reliance on arbitrage. However, this arbitrage does not generate additional liquidity or value for the Ethereum ecosystem. Instead, it creates persistent selling pressure, as institutions cash out their staking rewards. This dynamic forms a delicate balance between sell pressure, ETH buy demand, and deflationary mechanisms. Unlike traditional banking, where maturity mismatch helps transform savings into productive capital (e.g., long-term loans funding economic growth), DeFi’s version is purely speculative. Institutions engage in recursive staking—staking ETH via Lido to get stETH, using it as collateral on Aave to borrow more ETH, and repeating the process—amplifying staking yields without contributing to real economic activity or dApp development. This套利套利behavior essentially exploits Ethereum’s security budget. With over 34 million ETH staked—far exceeding the estimated 15 million needed to resist state-level attacks—the network experiences "excess security." Post-Dencun upgrade, with reduced gas fees and renewed ETH inflation, the selling pressure from staking rewards structurally suppresses ETH’s price. ETH’s staking yield, currently around 2.5%, trails behind U.S. Treasury yields, making ETH a less attractive asset institutionally. The rise of Real-World Assets (RWA) on-chain could create external demand, potentially boosting ETH’s value, but for now, the PoS shift has turned ETH into a perpetual bond with negative yield spread versus Treasuries, posing a financial risk rather than fostering organic growth.

Staking 'Net Outflow' Ends: Can Ethereum Achieve a Strong Breakthrough?

By the end of 2025, the Ethereum network has reached a pivotal moment: the validator entry queue has surpassed the exit queue for the first time in months. This reversal indicates that more capital is seeking to stake ETH than to unstake, signaling a potential shift in market sentiment and underlying network strength. Currently, approximately 739,824 ETH are waiting to enter the staking queue, with an estimated wait time of nearly 13 days, while only 349,867 ETH are in the exit queue, requiring about 6 days to process. Total ETH staked stands at around 35.5 million, accounting for 29.27% of the total supply, with over 983,600 active validators. This change reflects reduced selling pressure and suggests growing confidence among institutional players. Key drivers include large staking moves by treasury firms like BitMine, which staked over 342,560 ETH in late December, and SharpLink, which has staked nearly all of its ETH. The Pectra upgrade—implemented in May 2025—also improved staking efficiency by raising the maximum validator balance and enabling reward compounding. Additionally, the deleveraging process in DeFi, which previously caused significant exit pressure, appears to be nearing its end. While challenges remain and the sustainability of this trend is yet to be confirmed, the shift toward net staking inflow marks a possible turning point for Ethereum’s security and capital accumulation cycle heading into 2026.

After the Wealth Effect Disappears, The Myth or Elegy of Decentralization

The article "After the Wealth Effect Disappears: The Myth or Elegy of Decentralization" examines the evolution of Ethereum and Bitcoin, arguing that both have strayed from their original decentralized ideals. While Ethereum shifted from PoW to PoS to enhance scalability and value capture (ETH), it sacrificed node decentralization and embraced centralized governance, despite retaining smart contracts. Bitcoin maintained minimal governance but failed to support smart contracts, limiting its utility beyond being "digital gold." The author highlights how institutional adoption (e.g., BTC ETFs, DTCC’s blockchain migration) prioritizes long-term, low-risk gains, contrasting with retail’s speculative expectations. As centralized exchanges (CEXs) become less influential, activity migrates on-chain, but this shift may not yield the envisioned decentralized utopia. Stablecoins like USDT/USDC are increasingly replacing ETH as primary assets, further centralizing the ecosystem. Ultimately, the piece critiques the compromise between decentralization and wealth generation, noting that Ethereum’s "middleman" role—embodied by Vitalik Buterin and ETH’s capital-driven model—has eroded its foundational principles. The conclusion suggests that both decentralization and wealth effect narratives are being overshadowed by pragmatic, institution-friendly financial computing.
