最新报道:BlackRock has expanded its crypto offerings by launching a spot Bitcoin private trust for U.S. institutional clients, marking its first direct exposure to Bitcoin. The asset manager cited growing client interest in digital assets as the key driver, though it acknowledged crypto's volatility and evolving regulatory landscape. Meanwhile, Ethereum developers successfully deployed the final "shadow fork" testnet ahead of the Merge upgrade, simulating the transition to proof-of-stake. The test showed strong validator participation with 98% of nodes properly following the new chain. The Merge is expected to reduce Ethereum's energy consumption by 99% upon completion.
