According to Odaily Planet Daily, regarding the transaction loss and packaging delay issues that occurred on the Base network on January 31st, the official statement indicates that due to changes in transaction propagation configuration, the block builder repeatedly fetched transactions, but these transactions could not be executed due to a rapid increase in base fees. The team has mitigated the issue by rolling back the changes and verified that network stability has been restored. Measures are being taken to prevent such issues from recurring and to improve response mechanisms. These measures include optimizing the transaction pipeline, removing unnecessary P2P overhead, and adjusting the mempool queue—this work is expected to take approximately one month. In addition, the alerting and change monitoring mechanisms during infrastructure change deployments are being improved.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that stablecoin issuer Tether has lowered its potential fundraising target from the previously circulated $15 billion to $20 billion to approximately $5 billion, due to some investors questioning its $500 billion valuation target. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino clarified in an interview that the $15 billion to $20 billion figure was not a specific fundraising target, but rather the "maximum amount of equity it is willing to sell," a statement that had been misunderstood by the market. He stated that Tether's current profitability is sufficient, and the company is "perfectly comfortable" even without equity financing. Ardoino also compared Tether to some artificial intelligence companies, saying, "Many AI companies generate the same amount of profit as us, but with a negative sign." Data shows that Tether's profit last year was approximately $10 billion, mainly from returns on its reserve assets, but profits in 2025 are expected to decline by about 25% year-on-year. Previous reports indicated that Tether had explored a fundraising of up to $20 billion based on a $500 billion valuation in September 2025. (FT)
