BlockBeats News, December 18th, the Ethereum network's transaction throughput will once again increase next month, as developers plan to raise Ethereum's gas limit from 60 million to 80 million in January. However, Ethereum Foundation Developer Operations Engineer Barnabas Busa pointed out that before raising the block gas limit again, two client-side optimizations need to be completed, namely partial Blob response at the execution layer and maximum Blob flag setting at the consensus layer.
All Ethereum core developers meeting participants will convene again on January 5th to confirm when to raise the gas limit after the second BPO hard fork. The first BPO hard fork took place on December 9th, increasing blob capacity by 66%; the second hard fork, expected to occur on January 7th, will further increase it by 66%. Ethereum developers and research community members have reached a consensus that the goal is to raise the network's gas limit to 180 million by the end of 2026. (Cointelegraph)

Expanded U.S. Treasury long-bond buybacks helped pull yields lower and supported a modest rebound in risk appetite, with the major indexes closing slightly higher. At the same time, Bitcoin briefly rose above $70,000 and lifted crypto-linked equities, while positive Phase 3 vaccine data from Merck and Moderna pushed healthcare and biotech stocks higher. SK Hynix’s large-scale buyback also kept attention on the storage cycle and AI-related demand.
