Ethereum developers are preparing a major architectural change centered on EIP-8025 and an L1-zkEVM roadmap that introduces Optional Execution Proofs for block validation. A first breakout call on February 11, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. UTC will coordinate work across six areas, aiming to let nodes either keep full execution or verify zero-knowledge proofs to support higher activity while keeping validation more accessible.

According to U.Today, in recent sessions Shiba Inu steadied after a steep slide as buyers returned near local lows, hinting at a possible double-bottom setup. Ethereum recovered back above $2,000 following a sharp sell-off, while Dogecoin fell below $0.10 and traded around $0.09, with oversold readings suggesting only tentative relief.

On Feb. 9, Binance confirmed that its Secure Asset Fund for Users converted roughly $300 million in stablecoins into Bitcoin, lifting the fund's holdings to 10,455 BTC valued at about $734 million. The reserve, created in July 2018 as an insurance pool and now holding around $1 billion in crypto assets as of February 2026, also fulfills regulatory capital roles under the Abu Dhabi Global Markets framework.

Following an extended period of selling, XRP has recorded a bounce-related trading volume of nearly $991 million across major exchanges, hinting at a tentative return of risk appetite. Ethereum has reclaimed levels above the $2,000 psychological mark, while Shiba Inu is trading in one of its most oversold technical conditions in recent periods, suggesting that downside momentum may be easing.

According to U.Today, XRP spot flows surged about +2,860% in the past eight hours after an extended slide, signaling a tentative shift toward risk. The move comes during a lower-liquidity weekend, while XRP Ledger payment activity has dropped, suggesting institutions pulled back. Whether this becomes a trend may hinge on Monday trading and continued inflows.

The crypto market has come under heavy selling, with Bitcoin sliding below the $70,000 mark and wiping out months of consolidation gains. Shiba Inu has so far stayed above key support, while Ethereum is nearing the crucial $2,000 area after breaking several technical levels. Further downside in Bitcoin could keep pressure on major altcoins if risk-off sentiment and liquidations persist.

According to blockchain tracking data, wallets associated with Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin have traded about 2,961.5 ETH, worth roughly $6.6 million at an average price near $2,228, over the last three days. This on-chain activity is unfolding as ETH loses key supports around $2,800 and $2,700 and trades close to the psychologically important $2,000 area, raising concerns about further downside and potential panic among market participants.

According to U.Today, momentum gauges show bears are overextended, placing many assets in oversold territory. XRP remains capped beneath $1.60 after failed rebounds, while SHIB's roadmap centers on reclaiming the 26/50 EMA and $0.0000078. Ethereum prints its most oversold daily RSI in 300 days, hinting at room for a technical bounce if sentiment steadies.

According to U.Today, the whale cohort known as '7 Siblings' accumulated 12,771 ETH for roughly $31 million at an average near $2,427 over the past 10 hours as Ethereum slid toward $2,400. ETH has broken below key moving averages and a January range; if $2,400 gives way, price could approach $2,200, while continued accumulation may aid stabilization.
