USDT0 ON UNICHAIN EXCEEDS 200 MILLION TOKENS, RANKS THIRD IN CROSS-CHAIN VOLUME
Description: The total issuance of USDT0 on Unichain has surpassed 200 million tokens for the first time, marking a significant milestone.
The chain now has over 13,400 holding addresses and more than 5.24 million cumulative transfers. Unichain is now the third-largest chain by USDT0 flow, following Ethereum and Arbitrum.
Analysis:
Unichain’s rapid growth as a hub for USDT0 underscores its rising prominence in the cross-chain stablecoin landscape. Its active user participation and high transaction volume validate its importance in the LayerZero omnichain ecosystem.
With support for the OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) standard, Unichain is well-positioned to become a key liquidity and infrastructure player in multichain DeFi.
TRUTH SOCIAL FILES FOR CRYPTO BLUE CHIP ETF INCLUDING BTC, ETH, SOL, AND XRP
Description: Truth Social has submitted an S-1 registration statement to launch a passive crypto blue-chip ETF under the name “Truth Social Crypto Blue Chip ETF, B.T.” The fund will track BTC (70%), ETH (15%), SOL (8%), and XRP (2%), and plans to list on NYSE Arca.
Analysis:
This ETF proposal highlights growing institutional demand for diversified crypto exposure. Unlike Bitcoin-only ETFs, it includes prominent altcoins, signaling a broader acceptance of secondary-layer assets in regulated financial products.
If approved, the ETF could offer traditional investors a more accessible and compliant entry point into the crypto market, while boosting the visibility and legitimacy of altcoins like Solana and XRP.
ETHEREUM IMPLEMENTS HISTORY PRUNING, REDUCES NODE STORAGE BY UP TO 500GB
Description: All Ethereum execution clients now support history pruning for pre-merge data, potentially reducing node disk usage by 300–500 GB. This change marks the beginning of Ethereum’s move toward EIP-4444’s long-term data expiration model.
Analysis:
Ethereum’s implementation of history pruning is a major step toward enhancing node efficiency and reducing hardware requirements.
This update helps lower the barrier to entry for node operators, encourages decentralization, and improves network scalability.
It also sets the groundwork for future modular execution layers by offloading historical data to external services, aligning Ethereum with a leaner, more sustainable architecture.
