Domains in the form of NFTs can be traded on leading marketplaces such as Looks Rare or OpenSea. However, ENS.Vision, specialized in ENS domains, became the largest platform in terms of trading volumes. According to the platform, the most expensive addresses were “333.eth” and “metaverse.eth”, sold for 100 and 99 ETH respectively.
Domains are becoming a form of identification in the crypto community. The minimum price (floor price) for addresses in the “999 Club” category, that is, three-digit addresses consisting of numbers, is at around 20.22 ETH (more than $46,000 at the exchange rate on January 2).

The developer claims that this makes BNB Chain “the largest layer 1 blockchain in the world.” However, blockchain data shows that the Bitcoin network is still larger than both BNB Chain and Ethereum.
According to Etherscan, Ethereum currently has over 217 million unique addresses. By contrast, BNB Chain has over 233 million unique addresses, according to BscScan. This implies that BNB Chain is larger than Ethereum as judged by this metric.

"Is this right? Only 3 months after ETH goes PoS, 69% of blocks are OFAC compliant?
Meaning Ethereum is already under control by the US government.
This means all DeFi apps running on ETH are not decentralised finance. And transactions are not censorship resistant."
That's bad honestly. Before, ETH has been one of the shining projects in the market that leads all of the decentralized projects that it has started. But this shift of POS changed a lot of things, I own some ETH and this is concerning me although most of them sold at top, I still got to hold a few.Willy Woo(C)

And I guess this is going to affect how my holdings will go on if once everyone starts to know that it's being mostly controlled by the US gov't.

"We see auto-payments as a core functionality that existing blockchain infrastructure lacks. In this article, we shared a novel solution that leverages the concept of account abstraction to provide self-custodial wallets with automatic recurring payments capability. Using the approach we have introduced, other real-world applications beyond recurring payments could be brought to the blockchain. At Visa, our goal is to help create better user experiences leveraging existing as well as new payment rails. To that end, we believe that programmable money and programmable payments represent an exciting opportunity."

Ethereum developers, during the 99th Consensus Layer (CL) call held on December 1, have disclosed that they will be rolling out the Shanghai Upgrade without EIP 4844 to eliminate delays in Ethereum staking withdrawals, per a Galaxy Insights report.
Notably, the conclusions from the meeting confirm the previous report by The Crypto Basic, where developers expressed the belief that they could roll out staking withdrawals with the Shanghai upgrade in March. Furthermore, it clears any doubts about a significant delay."

These are all problems that can be solved, and there is a strong drive to solve them. The FTX collapse has shown many people the importance of truly decentralized solutions to holding funds, and the rise of ERC-4337 and account abstraction wallets gives us an opportunity to create such alternatives. Rollup technology is rapidly progressing to solve scalability, and transactions already get included much more quickly on-chain than they did three years ago.

Staking technology provider Kiln has closed out a $17.8 million fundraising round featuring the likes of Consensys and Kraken Ventures. The company believes there’ll be “exponential” growth in demand for Ether.
Ethereum’s recent transition to proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus also leads Sazbo to believe that demand for ETH staking will “grow exponentially.” His firm cited data from other PoS protocols that see between 50-80% of assets staked, in comparison to the 12.5% of ETH’s total supply currently staked in the Beacon Chain contract.

Ethereum still has long ways to go. Still early in adoption.
It is impossible to make one blockchain that will be perfect for the whole world. The main development should be in tier 2 solutions, where transactions are cheaper and higher throughput. If the TPS in Ethereum gives out up to 1000 or 3000, then this will not change the situation.

Ethereum Software Firm ConsenSys Reveals it Collects User Data
"The firm said when using Infura as an RPC on MetaMask, a user's IP address and wallet address information would also be collected.
One of the firms behind the Ethereum merge, ConsenSys, said on Thursday that it also collects user data related to its on-chain wallet service MetaMask.
The revelation comes days after decentralized crypto exchange (DEX) Uniswap made a similar update to its privacy policy, as reported."

The hacker behind the theft of more than $447 million of crypto from the crypto exchange FTX has been again spotted moving their ill-gotten funds.
Accoding to Etherscan data, between 4:11 to 4:17 pm UTC on November 21, the attacker moved a total of 180,000 Ether across 12 newly created wallets — each receiving 15,000 ETH. The total amount moved totaled $199.3 million at current prices.

"Conclusions: the future of better exchanges
In the short term, there are two clear "classes" of exchanges: custodial exchanges and non-custodial exchanges. Today, the latter category is just DEXes such as Uniswap, and in the future we may also see cryptographically "constrained" CEXes where user funds are held in something like a validium smart contract. We may also see half-custodial exchanges where we trust them with fiat but not cryptocurrency."

Nasdaq Article
I have to say there is big difference between what Vitalik Buterin stated citing data suggested a reduction in 0.2 energy consumption as a result of Ethereum moving to Proof of stake and that actually happening. There is no evidence there was any increase or decrease in worldwide energy consumption as a result of Ethereum abandoning their proof or work set-up.
When those mining farms, businesses and individuals stopped mining ETH (after it moved to proof of stake), they switched over to mining any other proof of work crypto they thought would be lucrative and that process in itself would not facilitate any noticeable drop of energy consumption on a global level.
