Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade, Grayscale Chainlink Trust: Crypto Week Ahead
The post Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade, Grayscale Chainlink Trust: Crypto Week Ahead appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum developers are preparing for the network’s second upgrade of 2025 to go live on the blockchain’s mainnet on Wednesday. Fusaka — a blend of the names Fulu + Osaka — consists of two upgrades happening on Ethereum’s consensus and execution layers at the same time. The goal of the upgrade is to enable Ethereum to handle the large transaction throughput from the layer-2 chains that use the blockchain as their base layer. Grayscale is expected to convert its chainlink LINK$12.15 trust into an exchange-traded fund on Tuesday. The conversion will create the first chainlink ETF and ends a journey that started in September. It will join ETFs that include the two largest cryptocurrencies, bitcoin BTC$86,794.14 and ether ETH$2,836.39, as well as solana SOL$127.35 and XRP$2.0554 and follows less than a week after the debut of its DOGE$0.1377 offering, the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOC).
