Deep Tide TechFlow News, January 1st, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin posted a New Year's message for 2026, reviewing Ethereum's major progress in 2025, including increasing the gas limit, raising the blob count, improving node software quality, and breakthroughs in zkEVM performance. He emphasized that Ethereum's core mission is to build a truly decentralized "world computer" that supports applications that can continue running even if developers disappear or infrastructure collapses. Buterin noted that Ethereum is not chasing short-term trends or filling block space, but is committed to establishing a more free and open internet infrastructure, achieving scalability and genuine decentralization. He described Ethereum as a "rebellion" against the current trend of increasing centralization in the digital world, pledging to continue advancing this mission in 2026.

BlockBeats news, January 2, CryptoOnchain posted data on social media indicating a large-scale inflow of funds into Binance from Ethereum, with the net inflow surging to 24,500 ETH, marking the highest record since July. Such a significant net inflow typically signals that more ETH is being transferred to trading platforms, often a precursor to selling pressure. This phenomenon may reflect whales preparing to sell or traders adjusting positions for derivatives hedging.Currently, ETH is consolidating sideways around $2,980, and the increased supply on trading platforms may limit short-term upside potential. Historically, similar spikes in fund inflows have often been accompanied by higher volatility or downtrends. Overall, the current setup remains bearish in the short term, requiring caution for those holding long positions.
