Jesse Pollak, head of the Base protocol, said in a reply to Solana co-founder toly on X: I dont think the relationship between Base and Ethereum is a zero-sum competition. Base and other L2s are actually executing the Ethereum roadmap. Many of us have been working together for more than 5 years. If Base develops, Ethereum will develop. Will Ethereums transaction acceptance rate on L2 be lower than L1? Yes, absolutely. Will this acceptance rate be like today when we are in the biggest growth opportunity in human history? I doubt it - I expect it to be higher, but it will still be less than 100%. Should L1 also increase capacity? Yes, thats good too! We can win together. Building with us is 100 times more interesting and 100 times more likely to succeed than tearing each other down and competing in a zero-sum way. That being said, I do understand how useful it is for you to drive us to compete with each other. The more we compete, the less we can focus on working together across multiple levels to build the best possible version of Ethereum. My goal is to make sure that doesnt happen. Achieve each other, stick to the foundation, and keep building.
Fed Governor Cook: We can take a more cautious approach to rate cuts
According to market news, Fed Governor Cook said that the Fed can take more cautious measures in cutting interest rates. Inflation is expected to gradually but unevenly fall to the target of 2%. The labor market is more balanced, and the labor market is not the source of inflation. Inflation and employment risks are basically balanced. Artificial intelligence may bring benefits in financial innovation, but it may also bring risks if the model is biased or wrong. (Jinshi)
According to the latest report from Bitfinex, with Bitcoin recently hitting a record high of over $ 104,000 , the market continues to maintain strong momentum. While a deeper correction is still possible in the first quarter of 2025, the general tightening of supply and bullish sentiment among miners suggest that Bitcoin is expected to rise further in the medium term. The liquidity inventory ratio (which tracks the time that existing supply can meet demand) has fallen from 41 months in October to just 6.6 months, indicating that available Bitcoin liquidity is tightening rapidly, which is particularly evident during the strong rebound in the first and fourth quarters of 2024.
Analyst: There is a demand gap between the price of Bitcoin at $87,000 and $71,000
Analysts at blockchain data platform Glassnode said investors should also keep a close eye on the $87,000 level, which is the cost basis for short-term Bitcoin holders assuming the cryptocurrency is fairly valued. This type of on-chain analysis examines data recorded directly on the blockchain network to gain insight into market trends or investor behavior. Analysts point out that there is a demand gap between the price of Bitcoin at $87,000 and $71,000, making the former a make-or-break level for the short-term price of Bitcoin. The level acts as support during an uptrend; however, according to Glassnode analysts, if Bitcoin decisively breaks through this level, it may turn into resistance, indicating a shift in market sentiment.
