Ethereum Activates Fusaka on Sepolia, Mainnet Set for December — $PEPENODE Emerges as the Next 1000x Crypto
October 15, 2025 • 10:00 UTC
Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade is now live on Sepolia testnet, entering its second phase of roadmap with a mainnet launch scheduled for December. Sepolia serves as the perfect mid-stage environment ahead of the third and final Hoodi testnet on October 28th.
In the 1st phase on Holesky testnetv, Ethereum tested the PeerDAS system, higher gas limits, and performance stability. In this phase, the network will stress-test data availability and raising the block game limit to 150M (up from the current ~45M).
PeerDAS, an integral part of the Fusaka upgrade will reduce storage and bandwidth costs significantly, allowing more smaller validators to participate.
As part of the Fusaka upgrade, Ethereum developers are focused on ensuring that nodes can efficiently handle larger blocks in every phase without compromising the network’s speed or stability.
One emerging project mirroring Ethereum’s push for performance, innovation, and community-driven growth is PEPENODE ($PEPENODE), the first mine-to-earn meme coin that allows you to earn rewards through gamified virtual mining.

Safe and Circle Push USDC Adoption Among Institutions — Analysts Eye $BEST as the Next 1000x Crypto
October 15, 2025 • 10:00 UTC
Safe, an on-chain custody protocol, has now partnered with Circle to make USDC the preferred stablecoin for institutional self-custody and on-chain treasury operations.
The integration will utilize Circle’s cross-chain transfer protocol (CCTP) to enable native USDC transfers across blockchains, eliminating the need for wrapped tokens or intermediaries.
The goal of this partnership is to create an institutional-grade framework that integrates programmable custody, policy-based approvals, role-based spending controls, and DeFi liquidity access.
Safe accounts currently hold over $2.5B in USDC, with a massive $14.2B transfers recorded in the last week alone.
Safe’s TVL exceeds $66B and is recording 724B total transactions across chains. These numbers reflect the increasing institutional confidence in decentralized self-custody.
Another strong contender in the self-custodial wallet space is the Best Wallet, poised to revolutionize the Web3 experience with compelling user incentives and cutting-edge features.
Best Wallet Token ($BEST) lies at the center of the Best Wallet ecosystem, offering utilities such as reduced transaction fees, early access to new projects, higher staking rewards, and iGaming partnership bonuses.
