美CFTC代理主席Caroline Pham将在新主席上任后辞职

According to BlockBeats, on May 18th, according to the website of the Salvadoran Ministry of Finance, Salvador increased its holdings of one Bitcoin this morning. Currently, it holds 6180.18 Bitcoin, worth over 638 million US dollars. In the past 7 days, it has increased its holdings by 8 bitcoins, and in the past 30 days, it has increased its holdings by 31 bitcoins, still maintaining its daily plan of buying 1 bitcoin. It is worth noting that in recent months, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been pressuring El Salvador to stop accumulating decentralized value storage assets. In December 2024, El Salvador reached an agreement with the International Monetary Fund to obtain a loan of $1.4 billion. As part of the agreement, the Salvadoran government has agreed to revoke BTC's legal tender status in the country and reduce public sector participation in Bitcoin. On April 27th, Rodrigo Valdes, Director of the Western Hemisphere Department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), stated at a spring meeting press conference that El Salvador is still adhering to its commitment to no longer accumulate Bitcoin in the overall fiscal sector, which is a key performance indicator reached between the country and the IMF.

According to BlockBeats, on May 18th, on chain data analyst Murphy published an article analyzing the cost base distribution of ETH in the past six months. There is a million level chip accumulation area, and if ETH continues to rise, it will need to cross three key nodes. ETH needs support around $1500 to $1600, which is the position that Whale established 2 years ago. Although it has been partially sold over time, nearly 1.2 million ETH still remain at this position and are firmly held. If the support level is breached, it may drop below $1200 and turn these 1.2 million ETH chips into a lock up. Currently, it appears that this level has been safely passed. The first strong resistance level for ETH after rebounding from $1500 is between $1800 and $1900, which was the position where Giant Whale established its position in June 2023. Nearly 2 million ETH still remain to this day, and it appears that ETH has broken through at this level. And so far, there have been no obvious signs of reducing holdings of chips in the above two cost ranges, indicating that whales are not satisfied with the current prices; ETH has accumulated nearly 4.7 million high volume chips in the range of $2700 to $2800, and is currently in a floating loss state. But the holders of these chips are obviously staunch believers. They started holding ETH at a high of around $3500 in January 2025, and then the price continued to decline and replenish their positions, finally reducing the average cost to around $2700 to $2800. If ETH can successfully break through this position, there will be no obvious concentrated area of trapped disks above. From the data, the biggest selling pressure currently comes from nearly 2.27 million ETH that have opened positions around $1800. As the price rose to $2600, they gradually sold, and as of May 16th, there are still 1.01 million ETH left. This analysis is only for learning and communication purposes and is not intended as investment advice.

According to Foresight News, ralexStokes released a summary of the 157th Ethereum Consensus Layer Core Developers Conference (ACDC) at Ethereum Magicians. The conference mainly discussed: reviewing the Pectra upgrade process and looking forward to the future, the upcoming analysis report on Blob addition, and the release and stable operation of Fusaka (peerdas-devnet-7); The client team is currently focused on implementing BPO support; Fusaka-devnet-0 is expected to be launched on May 26th; Authenticator custody aims to enhance the management of pledged keys and verifier credentials, improve security, modularity, and user experience.

It is also suggested to create a new platform or upgrade Ethereum Magicians to lower the participation threshold for external contributors.
