🚀 Ethereum Core Developers Discuss Key Updates in Latest Meeting
#Ethereum #CoreDevelopers #PectraDevnet #PeerDAS #engine_getBlobsV1 #blobthroughput #EIP7742 #blockchain #ETH
According to Odaily, the 143rd Ethereum Consensus Layer Core Developers Meeting (ACDC) recently took place, focusing on several significant updates and discussions. The meeting covered updates on Pectra Devnet 3, preparations for Pectra Devnet 4, PeerDAS Devnet issues, the implementation of 'engine_getBlobsV1,' and discussions on increasing blob throughput. The developers are actively debugging Pectra Devnet 3, while preparations for Pectra Devnet 4 include simplifying EL-triggered requests for CL parsing. PeerDAS Devnet is facing challenges in achieving finality, potentially requiring a restart. The implementation of 'engine_getBlobsV1' aims to assist low-bandwidth validators in proposing blocks promptly, with all client teams prioritizing this task. Additionally, there were discussions on increasing blob throughput, with some developers suggesting an initial increase in blob target numbers, followed by adjustments based on analysis. Most developers also support EIP 7742, which proposes decoupling CL and EL blob counts.#Ethereum #CoreDevelopers #PectraDevnet #PeerDAS #engine_getBlobsV1 #blobthroughput #EIP7742 #blockchain #ETH

🚀 September Jobs Data Exceeds Expectations, Impacting Bitcoin And Market Sentiment
#SeptemberJobs #Bitcoin #MarketSentiment #EmploymentData #UnemploymentRate #AverageHourlyEarnings #USEconomy #FederalReserve #StockMarket #DollarIndex #DATA #BTC
According to CoinDesk, the U.S. employment landscape showed significant improvement in September, with the government reporting the addition of 254,000 jobs, surpassing economist predictions of 140,000. Additionally, August's job gains were revised upward from 142,000 to 159,000. The unemployment rate decreased to 4.1% from 4.2% in August, against forecasts of 4.2%.
Bitcoin's price remained relatively stable following the release of the data, trading at $61,500, up nearly 1.5% over the past 24 hours. Despite this, bitcoin prices are still lower compared to the previous week's levels above $66,000, influenced by macroeconomic factors, including the escalation of conflict in the Middle East. CoinDesk analyst James Van Straten noted that a robust U.S. economy reduces market uncertainty, particularly with the upcoming U.S. election, which is favorable for bitcoin.
Average hourly earnings in September rose by 0.4%, exceeding forecasts of 0.3% but down from 0.5% in the previous month. Year-over-year, average hourly earnings increased by 4.0%, higher than the estimated 3.8% and August's 3.9%. Recent economic data, including the ISM Services report and ADP jobs data, both stronger than expected, along with comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, have led traders to reduce expectations for a 50 basis point rate cut at the Fed's next policy meeting after the November elections.
Before the release of the jobs data, short-term rate markets had priced in a 30% chance of a 50 basis point cut and a 70% chance of a 25 basis point cut, according to CME FedWatch. Following the data, the probability of a 50 basis point cut dropped to 11%. In traditional markets, U.S. stock index futures gained, with the Nasdaq 100 rising by 0.8%. The U.S. 10-year yield increased by eight basis points to 3.94%, and the dollar index rose by 0.5%. Conversely, the price of gold fell by 0.5% to $2,665 per ounce.#SeptemberJobs #Bitcoin #MarketSentiment #EmploymentData #UnemploymentRate #AverageHourlyEarnings #USEconomy #FederalReserve #StockMarket #DollarIndex #DATA #BTC

According to PANews, sources indicate that Tencent and the French Guillemot family are contemplating the acquisition of Ubisoft. The discussions are reportedly in the early stages and may not necessarily result in a transaction.

As per Ubisoft's latest announcement, Tencent holds 9.2% of the net voting rights as of the end of April, while the Guillemot family owns around 20.5%.
