The Glassnode risk gauge has cleared to zero for the first time in seven months — a level the firm's research desk says has historically lined up with the start of structural upside phases for BTC.
The instrument measures expected 30-day S&P 500 volatility — and its arrival on Glassnode hands crypto-native desks a direct read on the macro fear pulse equities keep sending Bitcoin.
The proposal reframes scaling as a privacy primitive, not a throughput race — letting Ethereum add capacity without rewriting L1 economics or trusting operators with user intent.
The product targets one specific problem — visible wallet histories that let copy traders front-run a known wallet's next move — and uses orchestrated multi-wallet routing to break the link.
Buterin's diagnosis is structural: private chains inherited the worst of both worlds — cartel politics without the openness that makes decentralization worthwhile — and the fix he proposes leans on…
