According to Odaily Planet Daily, the CEO of Exodus, a US-listed company, predicted in an interview with CNBC that the price of Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by 2026. (Bitcoin Magazine)

In the past hour, total liquidations across the network reached $153.63 million, with $149.79 million from long positions, with $3.85 million from short positions. BTC liquidation $74.58 million, ETH liquidation $32.73 million.

Huoxun Finance reported on December 5th that LiquidCapital founder Yi Lihua published an article on the X platform stating that Ethereum's blob basefee surged 15 million times after the Fusaka upgrade. The core reason is the new "minimum guarantee mechanism" for blob fees added in EIP-7918. Previously, blob fees had no minimum limit and were consistently stuck at 1 wei (almost free), causing nodes to bear costs such as KZG verification without reasonable returns. After the upgrade, blob fees must be ≥ 1/15.258 of the L1 execution basefee, directly anchoring to the real network cost. This design allows the price to reflect actual resource consumption (avoiding L2 occupancy of network resources for free) and can regulate blob traffic and prevent congestion through price fluctuations. At the same time, PeerDAS technology increases blob storage capacity. In addition, blob fees are included in the ETH burning mechanism, which is estimated to burn up to 8 times more ETH in the future, potentially contributing 30-50% of the total burned amount by 2026 (depending on the growth of L2 transaction volume).

According to Huoxun Finance on December 5th, CoinAnk data shows that in the past 24 hours, the total liquidation amount for cryptocurrency futures contracts across the entire network reached $335 million, including $249 million in long positions and $85.499 million in short positions. The total liquidation amount for BTC was $113 million, and the total liquidation amount for ETH was $82.2971 million.
