A crypto bill that "satisfies the banks"
🚨SCOOP: The White House is considering pulling its support for the crypto market structure bill entirely if @coinbase does not come back to the table with a yield agreement that satisfies the banks and gets everyone to a deal, a source close to the Trump administration tells me. The White House is said to be furious with Coinbase’s “unilateral” action on Wednesday, which it apparently was not notified of in advance, calling it a “rug pull” against the White House and the rest of the industry. The White House does not believe that one company speaks for the entire industry, the source continued. “This is President Trump’s bill at the end of the day, not Brian Armstrong’s,” the source said.

Haven't seen sub-1 million Ethereum validators in quite some time. Let's get those consolidations going.

Doesn't look too good already even without the withdrawal address bucketing. From 0.91 this time last year -> steadily increasing to 0.94 today. (data from @ratedw3b )

Other side is that it has to be really tough on ETH staking service providers managing possible redemptions and just general staking flow operations. Imagine having to absorb all that liquidity risk among other things.

Staking at the palm of your hand will always be cool to me, like with @solanamobile Wish I could see more validators instead of having to search though. 😄 Also I wonder where the APY data comes from. Looks like only the Seeker Validator has >7% APY. What makes it different? 🤔

Insightful read. Great work by @ethStaker! I wonder if the lack of desire/urgency to convert to Type 2 validators is due to a lack of promotion of the benefits or the lack of (perceived) benefits in upgrading itself.
The 2025 Staking Survey results are live! We received 740 total responses from stakers of all types including solo stakers, liquid protocol operators, professional operators, LST holders, Staking-as-a-Service (SaaS) users, and exited stakers. Responses cover rewards, issuance, centralization concerns, protocol risk, hardware, bandwidth, Pectra Type 2 validator adoption, and more, with new comparisons shown to 2024 data where relevant. Check out highlights and read the full report ↓

The consolidator 🤝 ~5000 ETH 156 to 8 validators
Congratulations to the @ethereum developers and the community for a successful Pectra hardfork! With today's upgrade, we're releasing new data API endpoints related to the hardfork. You'll see them in action as they power new features in our explorer.

So at the earliest, April 25 for Pectra on mainnet. "Hoodi will launch on March 17 and activate the Pectra upgrade on March 26. "Once Pectra successfully activates on Hoodi, a mainnet fork time for Pectra will be chosen. This will be at least 30 days after the Hoodi fork"
ACDE #207 summary posted... wen Hoodi hoodies?

That's four new networks in as almost as many weeks! We recently launched support for Celestia and Cardano as well. Got thoughts or questions on what new networks we should cover or where we should go deeper? Feel free to DM us or reach out at feedback.rated.network.

We did say there was more to come. Big shoutout again to my teammate, @0xYang for the heavy lifting here.
We just launched Cardano coverage on the Rated API! Now you can track daily stake pool (validator) and network-wide rewards for Cardano.
