On January 30, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin posted on social media that the Ethereum Foundation is entering a phase of moderate belt-tightening, with two core goals: - Advance a proactive roadmap to transform Ethereum into a high-performance, scalable global computer—while preserving its robustness, sustainability, and decentralization. - Ensure the Foundation’s long-term viability, and safeguard Ethereum’s core mission and goals—including the core blockchain layer and users’ ability to access and use the chain autonomously, securely, and privately. Buterin noted: “To support this, my personal approach includes taking on responsibilities that would once have fallen to a Foundation ‘special project.’ Specifically, I’m developing an open-source, secure, verifiable full-stack software-hardware system to safeguard personal well-being and the public sphere.

Binance is ramping up its expansion in South Korea via its subsidiary GOPAX, targeting institutional crypto adoption by 2026, according to a January 30 Korea Times report. Last year, 23% of global crypto market growth stemmed from institutional adoption, Binance’s Asia-Pacific head SB Seker told The Korea Times in a Friday video interview. “We believe if South Korea advances its regulatory framework, the growth trend will mirror that—if not be stronger,” he added.
