- Ethereum developers set the Glamsterdam public test for Oct. 6 on Sepolia, with Hoodi tentatively Oct. 27 and mainnet unscheduled; client teams have until Sept. 29 to ship Sepolia-ready software, half the usual review window.
- A malicious builder with free test ether can win Sepolia block auctions and withhold transaction payloads, disrupting infrastructure testing before Glamsterdam reaches mainnet; the attack does not threaten mainnet funds.
- The SEC hosts BlackRock, Nasdaq, NYSE, and Robinhood on Sept. 17 for a roundtable on 24-hour stock trading; BlackRock's BUIDL fund already cleared SEC review on Ethereum rails, and Robinhood's blockchain is an Ethereum layer 2.
- Solana leads tokenized stocks with $465 million on-chain and sub-cent fees, but its total value locked has halved to $5.5 billion; Ethereum's institutional ties position it for the first Nasdaq stock on-chain.
- Ethereum trades near $2,403 with a Fed rate hike, wavering ETF flows, and a major network upgrade converging in the 15 days before Q4.
