The post Ethereum Set to Debut ‘Key to Layer-2 Scaling’ as Fusaka Upgrade Clears Final Test appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade has passed its final testnet and is set to launch on the mainnet around December 3. The update will lower transaction costs and improve efficiency by expanding blob storage and implementing PeerDAS, which boosts layer-2 scalability. Developers have said the change could increase blob space by over 400%, marking a major step toward faster, cheaper Ethereum transactions. Ethereum’s latest overhaul is all systems go for deployment.  The network’s upcoming Fusaka upgrade successfully went live on a third and final testnet Tuesday afternoon—meaning it is now greenlit to go live on the Ethereum mainnet in just a few weeks.  Fusaka had previously deployed successfully on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets earlier this month, before going live on the Hoodi network today. It is currently penciled in to debut on the Ethereum mainnet on or around December 3.  Ethereum’s next major upgrade, Fusaka, is now live on the Hoodi network! ✅ Fusaka mainnet activation is scheduled for December 3rd. Fusaka introduces multiple EIPs to improve scalability, strengthen security, and reduce costs. The upgrade will unlock the next phase of rollup… pic.twitter.com/VQkosIouZQ — Consensys.eth (@Consensys) October 28, 2025 The software update seeks to cut transaction costs on Ethereum and boost the network’s efficiency by further streamlining the process by which it samples and verifies data from layer-2 networks. It also includes multiple proposals designed to improve Ethereum’s user experience. These improvements build on innovations introduced in prior Ethereum updates. The network’s 2024 Dencun upgrade introduced blobs, which significantly lowered layer-2 network gas fees by allowing data from such chains to be stored temporarily, as opposed to permanently. Fusaka will dramatically increase the amount of space reserved on every Ethereum transaction block for blobs, thereby making the innovation even more impactful.

IBM’s new 120-qubit experiment marks a leap forward, advancing technology that could one day crack Bitcoin’s encryption.

PANews reported on October 30th that, according to Cointelegraph, the German parliament plans to consider a motion urging the government to recognize Bitcoin as a unique decentralized digital asset and to treat it strategically. The main opposition party, the Alternative for Germany (AfD), submitted a formal motion to the Bundestag opposing over-regulation of Bitcoin. The motion, submitted on Thursday, argues that Bitcoin is fundamentally different from other crypto assets and should not be included in the EU's Crypto Asset Market Regulation (MiCA). The motion claims that over-regulation of Bitcoin-related parties in the implementation of MiCA by various countries would jeopardize Germany's innovation capabilities, financial freedom, and digital sovereignty. The party also calls for attention to the trend of Bitcoin as a national strategic reserve asset, criticizing the German government for not strategically recognizing Bitcoin. Furthermore, it advocates maintaining the current 12-month tax-free holding period, retaining the VAT exemption policy, and guaranteeing individuals' self-custody rights. This motion makes Germany another EU country to call for exploring a national Bitcoin reserve and relaxing MiCA regulations.
