According to ChainCatcher, Ethereum developers are refining a zero-knowledge protocol aimed at enhancing privacy for on-chain interactions. The initiative begins with a system akin to a 'Secret Santa' matching process, which could evolve into a broader private collaboration tool. Solidity engineer Artem Chystiakov revisited this research in a post on the Ethereum community forum, highlighting work he initially published on arXiv in January. The concept seeks to replicate the anonymous gift exchange game on Ethereum, where participants are randomly paired without knowing who is gifting whom. Implementing this on a transparent blockchain requires addressing longstanding issues related to randomness, privacy, and resistance to Sybil attacks. Chystiakov noted the core challenge: "Everything on Ethereum is visible to everyone." The blockchain lacks true randomness, and the system must prevent users from registering multiple times or assigning gifts to themselves. The proposed protocol employs zero-knowledge proofs to verify the sender-receiver relationship without revealing identities. It also uses transaction relayers to submit operations, preventing a single wallet from being linked to specific actions. This type of zero-knowledge layer could be applied to anonymous voting, DAO governance, whistleblower channels, and private airdrops or token distributions that avoid disclosing recipient information.

On Dec 02, 2025, 08:09 AM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum has dropped below 2,800 USDT and is now trading at 2,799.060059 USDT, with a narrowed 1.58% decrease in 24 hours.

According to PANews, Ethereum's mainnet reached a historic peak in transaction throughput in November 2025. The Ethereum ecosystem's peak transactions per second (TPS) recently hit an all-time high of 32,950. Lighter, a significant player in Ethereum's Layer 2 solutions, accounts for approximately 90% of the daily TPS on Ethereum's Layer 2 network, while incurring only about $685 in daily on-chain costs to Ethereum.

On Dec 01, 2025, 23:16 PM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum has crossed the 2,800 USDT benchmark and is now trading at 2,800.800049 USDT, with a narrowed narrowed 7.29% decrease in 24 hours.

On Dec 01, 2025, 15:16 PM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum has dropped below 2,800 USDT and is now trading at 2,794.649902 USDT, with a narrowed 7.71% decrease in 24 hours.

According to Foresight News, an early participant in the Ethereum ICO has moved 40,000 ETH after a decade of inactivity. The participant has now started staking their ETH on ETH2.0. This significant movement was monitored by Onchain Lens, highlighting the transition of dormant assets into active staking within the Ethereum network.

According to Odaily, monitoring data from Lookonchain reveals that the address pension-usdt.eth established a 2x leveraged short position on Ethereum approximately one hour ago. The position, valued at around $18 million and comprising approximately 6,358 ETH, has resulted in an unrealized profit of about $1 million as the market subsequently declined.

On Nov 30, 2025, 23:37 PM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum has dropped below 3,000 USDT and is now trading at 2,997.280029 USDT, with a narrowed narrowed 0.26% increase in 24 hours.

According to BlockBeats, data from Ultrasound.money reveals that Ethereum's net supply has increased by 77,380 ETH over the past 30 days. The total supply of Ethereum has now reached 121,253,101 ETH, with a current annual growth rate of 0.777%.

According to PANews, data from ValidatorQueue.com indicates that approximately 1.5 million ETH are expected to be withdrawn from staking by the end of December. The recent surge in withdrawals has been notable, with a significant increase observed since September. Currently, the withdrawal queue remains at a high level. Industry analysts suggest that this wave of withdrawals may be linked to institutional rebalancing, adjustments by staking service providers, and market volatility. The specific impact of these withdrawals requires ongoing observation.

On Nov 30, 2025, 01:05 AM(UTC). According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum has crossed the 3,000 USDT benchmark and is now trading at 3,005.5 USDT, with a narrowed narrowed 1.04% decrease in 24 hours.

According to PANews, a licensed virtual asset management company, Pandu, has announced the upcoming listing of its Ether ETF on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Scheduled for December 3, the ETF will trade under the stock code 3085.HK and will directly hold Ether. The fund is benchmarked against the CME CF Ether-Dollar Reference Rate (Asia Pacific closing price). Hong Kong investors can trade using their existing securities accounts, opting for either cash or physical redemption methods. Each trading unit consists of 100 shares, with a minimum subscription amount set at 850 Hong Kong dollars.

An early Ethereum investor has taken another significant profit after selling $60 million worth of Ether (ETH), even as the largest holders continue to steadily accumulate the asset during the ongoing market downturn.Blockchain data shows that an original Ethereum ICO participant offloaded a new tranche of ETH on Wednesday, extending a methodical profit-taking pattern that began in early September. But despite the high-profile sale, onchain data indicates that the richest 1% of Ether holders are buying aggressively, signaling that long-term conviction among whales remains intact.ICO Whale Realizes 9,500x Return After Eleven YearsAccording to Lookonchain data, the early Ethereum backer purchased 254,000 ETH during the 2014 ICO for roughly $79,000 — averaging about $0.31 per token. Those holdings are now valued at more than $757 million.The wallet, labeled 0x2Eb, has been gradually reducing its position for months. Following Wednesday’s $60 million sale, the wallet holds about $9.3 million in ETH, according to Nansen.While some traders interpreted the sale as a possible warning sign for further downside, the transaction fits a long-term, incremental de-risking strategy rather than panic selling.Top 1% Ether Holders Increase AccumulationEven as select early investors take profits, the largest Ether holders continue to add aggressively.Glassnode data shows that the top 1% of ETH addresses now hold 97.6% of supply, up from 96.1% one year ago. The chart indicates consistent steady accumulation throughout 2024 and 2025 despite market volatility.This trend has reinforced the view that institutional players and high-net-worth investors are positioning for a longer-term recovery in Ethereum, not exiting the ecosystem.ETH ETFs Return to Net Inflows After Eight Days of OutflowsUS spot Ether ETFs are also showing renewed strength.After eight consecutive days of net outflows, ETH ETFs logged four straight days of net inflows, including $60 million on Wednesday, according to data from Farside Investors.ETF flows have become a critical sentiment gauge for institutional demand. The return to positive inflows suggests that professional allocators are gradually rebuilding market exposure.Why the Market Reaction Remains MeasuredDespite the positive ETF flows and whale accumulation, analysts say investor sentiment has been cautious.Iliya Kalchev, dispatch analyst at digital asset platform Nexo, described the reaction as “measured,” noting that derivatives activity shows a selective rebuilding of exposure rather than broad rotation into Ethereum.“The combination of steady inflows and rising derivatives activity suggests investors are rebuilding exposure selectively rather than rotating aggressively across the complex,” Kalchev told Cointelegraph.Uncertainty surrounding the macroeconomic outlook and reduced onchain activity following the October flash crash have contributed to a slower ETH recovery.

Ethereum’s recent move to increase its block gas limit is only the beginning, according to Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano, who believes the network could see a threefold — or even fivefold — gas limit expansion over the next year.Speaking on the Bankless podcast on Friday, Sassano said the push to reach a 180 million gas limit in 2026 is not an upper target but a conservative baseline.“I think that’s the floor — that’s the minimum. I think we can go higher than that,” Sassano told host Ryan Adams. His comments came just one day after Ethereum raised its block gas limit from 45 million to 60 million, the network’s largest capacity expansion in four years.Developer consensus forming around 3x increaseSassano noted that Ethereum core developers and researchers are increasingly aligned on the desire to raise the gas limit at least threefold over the next couple of years. Some are openly discussing a fivefold increase as feasible with the right technical adjustments.“A few devs are already talking about a 5x increase within 12 months,” he said.Repricing transactions may unlock higher gas limitsA higher gas limit allows Ethereum to process more swaps, transfers and smart contract interactions per block. Sassano argued that the path to such increases lies in repricing specific transaction types, making some cheaper and others more expensive depending on computational load.“We can lower the cost of a basic ETH transfer from 21,000 gas to around 6,000 gas, a reduction of more than 70%, while keeping the gas limit the same,” he said. By redistributing gas costs based on efficiency, the network could safely support higher throughput.Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has similarly suggested raising gas costs for operations that are “relatively inefficient to process,” while freeing capacity for more common transactions.Fusaka upgrade arrives next weekThe gas-limit expansion comes as Ethereum prepares for its next major upgrade, Fusaka, slated for mainnet activation on Dec. 3. The upgrade is designed to improve scalability and lays groundwork for more ambitious throughput increases in 2026.Sassano and core developer Ben Adams co-authored the EIP tied to future gas limit reforms, aiming to include it in Ethereum’s planned Glamsterdam upgrade, expected in the first half of 2026.The increase to a 60 million gas cap was backed by more than 513,000 validators, a level of consensus that took the debate from “too risky” to “already live” in less than a year, Adams noted.Ethereum researcher Toni Wahrstätter emphasized the speed of progress:“That’s a 2× increase in a single year — and it’s only the beginning.”

According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum dropped below 3,000 USDT and is now trading at 2,998.929932 USDT, with a 0.43% decrease in 24 hours.

According to BlockBeats On-chain Detection, BlackRock has recently received substantial cryptocurrency transfers. In the last 10 minutes, the firm acquired 300 BTC, valued at $27.51 million, and 16,629 ETH, worth $50.64 million, from a centralized exchange (CEX). Over the past three days, BlackRock has received a total of 4,044 BTC, valued at $354 million, and 80,121 ETH, worth $235 million.

According to Foresight News, Onchain Lens has detected that a newly created wallet has received 20,532 ETH from BitGo, valued at approximately $62.85 million. The address is speculated to potentially belong to BitGo.

Ether has rebounded 15% from last week’s lows, but on-chain data and derivatives positioning show that large holders remain unconvinced. With Ethereum’s total value locked (TVL) shrinking, network fees falling and whales reducing exposure, the probability of a near-term rally toward $4,000 continues to weaken.ETH derivatives show fading bullish appetite as network activity softensETH has recovered to the $3,080 level, but derivatives metrics suggest traders are unwilling to deploy fresh leverage. Perpetual futures funding rates — which typically sit in the 6%–12% annualized range during healthy bullish periods — have hovered near zero since Monday.Much of this hesitation can be traced back to ETH’s 20% flash crash on Oct. 10, which triggered heavy liquidations across centralized and decentralized venues. The impact continues to be felt across Ethereum’s core metrics:Ethereum TVL dropped from $99.8B (Oct. 9) to $72.3B today (DefiLlama)Network fees fell 13% over the past weekTransaction count remains stable, creating a divergence that worries analysts  Lower fees signal weaker demand for block space. Because ETH’s burn mechanism depends entirely on on-chain activity, softening fee revenue risks pushing supply dynamics back toward inflationary territory — a trend that whales are watching closely.At OKX, aggregated spot, futures and margin data shows top ETH traders leaning 23% net short, reinforcing a lack of conviction. Market makers have repeatedly avoided building long exposure even during ETH’s rebound.Macro uncertainty and weakening labor data erode ETH investor confidenceBeyond on-chain weakness, U.S. macroeconomic data is adding pressure.Yahoo Finance and Reuters report:U.S. consumer spending slowed following the prolonged government shutdownMore than 25,000 job layoffs were announced in NovemberCompanies cite rising operating costs and tightening margins“You don’t have mass layoffs when the economy is strong,” said Adam Sarhan, CEO of 50 Park Investments.  A softening labor market typically weighs on risk assets, including ETH. At the same time, broad economic fragility forces the U.S. government to continue expanding debt to support growth. Historically, such conditions have increased investor interest in alternative assets — a potential tailwind for Ether — but that shift has not yet materialized in derivatives markets.The Federal Reserve’s next policy steps could play a pivotal role. A weaker economy raises the probability of a more accommodative stance in early 2026, but traders are waiting for clearer signals before rotating back into ETH at scale.Can ETH still reclaim $4,000? Liquidity will decideFor now, ETH remains constrained by three bearish forces:Shrinking TVL and lower network feesNo bullish leverage from whales or top tradersMacro uncertainty tied to U.S. labor markets and slower consumer demandThe path toward $4,000 requires a clear shift in liquidity conditions — either from improving macroeconomic signals, renewed on-chain demand, or a recovery in risk appetite.At present, institutional and whale behavior suggests investors are still prioritizing tech equities and bonds rather than rotating aggressively into Ether.Until fresh liquidity enters the market, the probability of ETH staging a decisive rally back to $4,000 remains limited.
