During the Coinbase System Update livestream, Coinbase launched the Base App for all users, providing global access to its social-focused onchain app. Now available in over 140 countries, the app integrates a non-custodial wallet with secure XMTP messaging and an onchain discovery feed powered by the Farcaster social graph. The launch opens the app to over 1.5 million users who had been on the waitlist. Coinbase is hosting a holiday rewards program that offers up to $2 million in incentives for successful Base App referrals. The program concludes on December 2nd.
Coinbase launched Custom Stablecoins, a new service that enables companies to issue their own branded stablecoins. The custom stablecoins are backed 1:1 by a flexible mix of USD-pegged stablecoins, primarily USDC, rather than direct fiat cash holdings. Collateral is custodied through Coinbase's infrastructure. The Custom Stablecoins launch was part of several major announcements, including U.S. stock trading, prediction markets through a Kalshi integration, perpetual futures trading, and tokenization tools for real-world assets, aimed at establishing Coinbase as an everything exchange.
The Ethereum Foundation’s Stateless Consensus team outlined the challenges of "state bloat," where the ever-expanding record of transactions demands higher requirements for node operators. While statelessness allows validators to verify blocks without storing the full state, it shifts data history to a small group of actors. The team proposes three paths: State Expiry to remove inactive data, State Archive to separate "hot" and "cold" data for stable performance, and Partial Statelessness to let nodes store only specific subsets of the state. The team is currently prioritizing low-risk initiatives like archive development, RPC infrastructure enhancements, and collaborative stress-testing.
The Federal Reserve has withdrawn a 2023 policy that restricted state member banks to the same activities as national banks, a rule that previously limited the ability of uninsured banks to engage in activities like crypto. According to Eleanor Terrett, the old policy effectively blocked uninsured banks from becoming Fed members and engaging in crypto. Citing the need to evolve with modern banking, the Board issued a new policy that creates a clear path for both insured and uninsured state member banks to pursue responsible innovation.

EigenDA achieved cloud-scale throughput of 1 GB/s, benchmarked across 100 operators and 10 countries. The milestone represents a 10,000x scaling of Ethereum blobs, enabled by an architecture redesign and the development of a custom database called LittDB, which is claimed to be 1000x better than traditional databases. EigenDA also implemented GPU acceleration in partnership with Ingonyama to achieve a 20x latency improvement for encoding. EigenDA also released its whitepaper, which outlines its path to reaching terabit-level throughput. EigenDA is the first data availability layer with full end-to-end verifiability.
Aave founder Stani Kulechov announced that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially concluded its four-year investigation into the DeFi protocol. The probe, launched in early 2022, focused on the classification of Aave's token and operations as potential securities. A letter dated August 12, 2025, confirmed that the agency will not recommend enforcement action. The resolution follows a broader trend of reduced SEC enforcement against crypto projects following the Trump administration's pro-crypto stance. The SEC has since dropped actions against Uniswap, Kraken, and Coinbase.
Stani Kulechov also published a master plan for Aave, outlining a multi-decade vision to onboard the next trillion dollars in assets and millions of users to the DeFi protocol. Kulechov highlighted Aave's position as the largest and most trusted lending protocol. The latest strategy is built on three main pillars: Aave V4, Horizon, and Aave App. Aave v4 brings a complete architectural redesign to unify fragmented liquidity and handle trillions of dollars in assets. Horizon is a dedicated, compliance-focused market for institutions, targeting $1 billion in assets for 2026. Lastly, the Aave App will feature an integration with Push for zero-fee stablecoin on and off-ramping.
Etherealize and Chainlink released a guide for enterprises to establish a shared understanding and unified language for the architecture of decentralized systems. It recognizes that Ethereum is now entering its institutional phase. The report provides a framework to bridge the vocabulary of traditional finance with the complexity of the onchain economy. The guide defines foundational concepts, the security and operational layers, and the aspects of data connectivity necessary to enable smart contracts to interact securely with the external financial world.

JPMorgan launched its first tokenized money-market fund on Ethereum, coined the My OnChain Net Yield Fund, or MONY. The fund invests in low-risk, short-term assets such as U.S. Treasury securities and repurchase agreements. The fund was seeded with $100 million of JPMorgan's own capital, according to the WSJ. Built on JPMorgan's in-house Kinexys Digital Assets platform, MONY is a private placement available only to qualified institutional and high-net-worth investors. The minimum investment is $1 million. Investors can subscribe and redeem using cash or stablecoins like USDC, receiving tokenized shares delivered directly to their crypto wallets. Last month, JPMorgan launched JPMD, its bank-issued USD deposit token on Base.
Matter Labs launched ZKsync Managed Services, a new service offering ZK-chains-as-a-service directly operated by the ZKsync development team. The service targets enterprises and financial institutions seeking to deploy custom, production-grade ZK Stack chains without the burden of complex infrastructure management. The service provides infrastructure, including a dedicated RPC, block explorer, indexer, and event delivery. It also provides enterprises with the ability to precisely configure key system parameters, such as the Data Availability (DA) layer, gas token, MEV policy, and access permissions, ensuring the chain meets specific product or regulatory needs.
A governance vote is now live to activate the first phase of Lido V3 on mainnet, a major upgrade that is transforming the protocol from a pooled staking model into a modular, decentralized Ethereum staking infrastructure. At the core of Lido V3 is the introduction of stVaults, which are non-custodial, customizable smart contracts that allow users to define their own validator setup. stVaults support overcollateralized stETH minting and feature critical safeguards such as immutable collateral caps and an escape hatch to opt out of protocol governance. If approved, the soft launch will deploy stVaults for early partners. The vote is currently set to close on December 20th.
BitMine's digital asset treasury now holds nearly 4 million ETH, representing over 3.2% of the total Ethereum supply. The holdings are valued at over $11 billion. BitMine continues its accumulation strategy, progressing toward its long-term goal of owning 5% of the total ETH supply, roughly 6 million ETH. Corporate treasuries collectively hold more ETH than Ether ETFs.
