Madhugiri Hardfork Now Live — @0xPolygon PoS Advances Scaling Roadmap
The Madhugiri Hardfork is now live on Polygon PoS at block 80,084,800 (≈10:00 UTC), advancing the scaling roadmap set after the Bhilai upgrade that achieved 1,000+ TPS earlier this year.
New post-activation benchmarks • Throughput observed at approximately 1,400 TPS • Block gas capacity expanded, with configuration path communicated toward 60M gas • Fusaka-aligned EIPs are now active in production environments • Node and validator reports indicate stable syncing with no disruptions
What Madhugiri introduces • 1-second consensus timing, making the block interval configurable without hardforks • Canonical inclusion of StateSync transactions for standardized verification and faster node alignment • ModExp-related security constraints applied, reducing computational overload vectors • Transaction gas caps to prevent single-transaction resource concentration
Technical significance • Continues Polygon PoS scaling architecture established under prior upgrades • Implements mechanisms intended to support performance under higher-load network activity • Aligns Polygon PoS with Ethereum’s Fusaka security improvements
Activation status • Validators require Bor client v2.5.x or higher • No user action required • Post-fork operation reported as stable
Not trying to be dramatic, but the energy around $DOGE feels like people are holding it because they always have, not because they still believe. Meanwhile $PEPE holders openly admit it’s chaos, memes, and instinct — and somehow that honesty feels more real than pretending a bark from 2021 still moves markets. 🐸
As of December 9, 2025, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is the top performing major Layer 1 network year to date, gaining more than 38% to nearly 40%, according to data highlighted by on chain analyst @CryptoKoryo.
$BCH outpaces nearly all large cap Layer 1 tokens. The performance chart shows Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and Avalanche posting steep year to date losses, several exceeding 50%. Only a few assets, including $BNB, $TRX, and $HYPE, show modest positive returns.
Key drivers highlighted in the analysis: •Fully circulating supply, with approximately 20 million $BCH already in the market •No ongoing token unlocks, foundation sales, or VC vesting overhang •No inflationary emissions, keeping dilution at zero •Strong liquidity, rising demand, and improving transaction activity •Growing market interest following recent breakouts and bullish sentiment
These fundamentals have helped shield $BCH from the sell pressure and dilution cycles affecting many competing Layer 1 ecosystems in 2025. Additional catalysts include its low volatility profile, increasing investor confidence, and speculation around potential institutional products such as ETFs.
#Binance Secures Comprehensive Global License Under ADGM
@binance has become the first global crypto exchange to receive a full, industry-defining licensing suite from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market, setting a new benchmark for digital-asset regulation.
This milestone highlights Binance’s commitment to transparency, security, and the highest standards of user protection under one of the world’s most respected regulatory frameworks.
What the FSRA licensing enables • Binance’s global platform is now formally authorized under a robust, internationally aligned regulatory regime • Strengthened compliance, governance, and risk-management standards • Clear operational rails for institutions, professional investors, and financial partners • A regulatory foundation designed for long-term global expansion
Why this matters globally • ADGM is a leading international financial hub with deep connectivity across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East • FSRA’s framework aligns with IOSCO standards, giving Binance a passport-like reputation for entering multiple markets • Banks, payment partners, and institutional investors prefer or require regulated entities, significantly boosting integration opportunities • Enhances trust, accountability, and overall maturity within the digital-asset ecosystem
Industry impact • Establishes a new global standard for digital-asset regulation • Supports safer institutional participation and stronger infrastructure partnerships • Reinforces the shift toward fully regulated, transparent digital-asset markets
This achievement forms a core part of Binance’s ongoing collaboration with top-tier regulators as digital assets continue their transition into institution-ready environments.
@Binance has released its latest Proof of Reserves snapshot dated December 1, providing updated visibility into user asset balances and reaffirming full collateralization for custodial holdings.
Key user holdings include: • 617,620 $BTC • 4.04 million $ETH • 39.42 million $BNB • 34.30 billion $USDT
Month to month movements: • $BTC increased 4.00%, reflecting continued accumulation. • $ETH decreased 1.32%, marking steady outflows. • $USDT decreased 1.24%, indicating reduced stablecoin balances. • $BNB increased 4.06%, the strongest rise among major assets.
The Proof of Reserves system allows users to verify inclusion of their balances through a Merkle tree and zk SNARK process. All user assets remain backed 1 to 1, separate from corporate funds, and fully viewable in the public report.

Crypto’s next trillion dollar unlock will come from education, not speculation. Binance seems to understand this better than anyone right now.
@binance just launched ABC’s of Crypto, an A to Z guide designed to make crypto as easy as ABC for every type of learner. Wallets, digital assets, keys and networks are explained in a clear, storybook style that removes friction for newcomers.
This matters because crypto is moving into daily finance. Regulations are advancing. Institutions are integrating blockchain. User adoption is accelerating. Education is the layer that turns interest into real participation.
@heyibinance says education is the cornerstone of mass adoption. She is right. Billions still lack access to traditional banking. A smartphone plus basic crypto literacy opens new economic possibilities and builds a more inclusive financial system.
#Binance also introduced Binance Junior, a parent controlled crypto savings experience for ages 6 to 17. Parents manage the account and trading stays restricted so kids can focus on learning healthy financial habits in a safe environment. It fits perfectly with how digital money is evolving and prepares families for the next phase of adoption.
The implications are big. Lower learning curves. Higher confidence. Safer entry points. Stronger long term user retention. Crypto scales when people understand what they are using, not just when markets are up.
For analysts, this signals a shift toward education driven growth. The next billion users will not arrive because tools get more complex, but because learning gets simpler.
Education is the catalyst. Understanding is the edge. Adoption follows. #BinanceABCs
Something many inside the ecosystem have known for years is now official.
Binance Co-Founder @heyibinance Named Co-CEO
At #BinanceBlockchainWeek , the company confirmed that co-founder Yi He is officially stepping into the Co-CEO role as the company approaches 300 million users.
Yi has been central since day one. She helped shape Binance’s vision, culture, and bottom-up strategy while consistently driving innovation, compliance, and user-first growth across every major phase of the company’s journey.
Widely recognized as one of the most powerful women in crypto, Yi has also played a key role in growing the global Binance community and leading product innovation as the company works toward its long-term goal of reaching one billion users.
This announcement simply formalizes what many in the ecosystem have already seen. Yi has been operating at the Co-CEO level for years and will now officially lead alongside @_RichardTeng, bringing complementary strengths and a shared commitment to inclusive, forward-looking leadership.
Together, they continue strengthening Binance’s position as the most trusted and regulated global exchange, pushing responsible Web3 adoption, and building the infrastructure needed for a more open and fair financial system.
Proud to support this milestone and the next chapter of @binance’s journey.
BNB Chain Strengthens Network Stability with Major Testnet Upgrade
A new governance proposal to slash BSC Testnet’s TurnLength from 16 to 8 (BEP-341) just went live on-chain and will activate tomorrow, Dec 2 at 08:00 UTC.
Why it matters: - Dramatically reduces the risk of deep reorgs that plagued Q4 2025 - Delivers faster, more predictable finality - Shortens maximum validator turn streaks → fairer block production - Creates a safer, more stable environment for MEV searchers and builders
If you run validators, MEV bots, or any system that relies on in-turn validator predictions on testnet — update your software before tomorrow morning.
Official proposal & voting: https://tally.xyz/gov/bnb-chain-testnet/proposal/53505163248404947322269653188699238654605185708318764034676503999774213543932
This change is testnet-only for now, but expect a similar upgrade on mainnet soon if it performs well.
#Binance Charity Donates $200,000 to Support Vietnam Flood Relief
Binance Charity has committed 200k USD to help communities hit by the recent floods in central Vietnam.
The donation was handed over to the Vietnam Fatherland Front (VFF) on 21 November and will be used for emergency aid, essential supplies and long-term rebuilding efforts.
This adds to Binance Charity’s broader work in Vietnam, which includes support during Typhoon Yagi, installing RO water filtration systems across the Mekong Delta and contributing to forest-restoration projects in Binh Thuan.
The initiative highlights Binance Charity’s focus on transparent, blockchain-powered humanitarian aid aimed at helping families recover and rebuild stronger.
Binance Maintains Strong Lead During the Market Pullback
Binance continues to lead the market even during the pullback. The exchange recorded $25B in spot volume and $62B in futures volume which keeps it well ahead of other major platforms.
Capital flows follow the same trend. Out of the $40B in BTC and ETH moving into exchanges daily, Binance handled $15B which is more than one third of the total. This highlights continued trust from both retail users and large allocators.
Stablecoin reserves reached a new peak. Binance now holds $51.1B which is significantly higher than the next exchange at nearly $10B. October brought over $60B in stablecoin inflows and November added another $29B.
Liquidity growth remains strong. Binance posted the largest stablecoin reserve increase of 2025 with an $8.9B rise in 30 days while other exchanges saw smaller movements.
Overall data points to consistent strength across volumes, inflows, and reserves during the current correction. On chain indicators continue to position Binance as one of the most reliable and liquid platforms in the market.
For anyone tracking exchange stability and market flows, Binance is worth a look: https://www.binance.com/en
With all the recent FUD going around, it’s good to actually look at the data instead of the noise. Chainalysis and TRM Labs both just confirmed that illicit activity on exchanges has dropped sharply over the last couple of years, which honestly shows how far the industry has come.
As of mid 2025, most major exchanges sit around 0.018 to 0.023 percent illicit exposure, which is already the lowest ever recorded. But Binance goes even lower than that. Chainalysis puts it at 0.007 percent in June, and TRM Labs shows similarly low numbers too.
And remember, this is while Binance handles over 90 billion dollars in volume every single day. Keeping illicit exposure that low at that scale isn’t easy, and the data speaks for itself.
This is the kind of stuff that actually matters. Real transparency, real progress, and real work being done to keep the ecosystem clean.
If you’re part of this space, this is the info worth sharing right now!
Binance Pay Is Becoming a Real Global Payment Tool!
Binance Pay hitting 20 million merchants this year is actually massive. Feels like crypto payments are finally becoming something people use without even thinking about it.
Stablecoins are driving most of this growth. Over 98 percent of payments on Binance Pay now run on stablecoins because they are fast and low cost. For example, users can make quick cross border transfers through Binance Pay and the funds usually land within seconds with no extra hassle.
Even traditional finance is catching on, with groups like SWIFT exploring blockchain to make global payments smoother.
With expansions across Brazil, Argentina, Bhutan and more, crypto payments are slowly becoming part of everyday life around the world.
If you have not tried Binance Pay yet, give it a go and see how simple transfers can be.
#Binance Now Accepts BlackRock’s BUIDL as Off-Exchange Collateral!
@BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) is now officially accepted as off-exchange collateral for institutional trading on @Binance. The fund, tokenized by @Securitize, gives institutions a regulated, yield-bearing instrument they can hold with a third-party custodian while still accessing Binance’s deep liquidity.
The integration allows institutional users to maintain exposure to tokenized U.S. Treasuries and simultaneously deploy that exposure as trading margin, significantly improving capital efficiency. By this, Binance strengthens its institutional offering with secure custody, improved margin flexibility and seamless interoperability between RWAs and digital trading environments.
In addition, BlackRock is launching a new BUIDL share class on BNB Chain, extending the reach of RWA tokenization into onchain financial markets and further aligning traditional finance with blockchain-native infrastructure.
World’s largest tokenized real-world asset, BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), is now officially live on BNB Chain, powered by Securitize and Wormhole. The launch introduces a new share class designed to give qualified investors access to tokenized U.S. dollar yields on a high-performance, low-cost blockchain.
By expanding to BNB Chain, BUIDL pairs institutional-grade security with onchain speed and accessibility, strengthening its role as a foundational RWA in the Web3 economy. With daily dividends, flexible custody, 24/7 transfers and cross-chain interoperability through Wormhole, BUIDL’s arrival is a major upgrade for the BNB Chain ecosystem.
#bnb Chain Transaction Volume Hits Record High in October 2025!
BNB Chain recorded a major milestone in October 2025, processing 649.19 million transactions, one of its highest monthly totals ever, according to @DefiLlama
YZi Labs Makes First Biotech Investment in Renewal Bio to Address Global Organ Shortages!
@YZiLabs has announced its first-ever biotech investment, backing Renewal Bioz a regenerative medicine company pioneering lab-grown, DNA-identical human cells and tissues to combat global organ shortages. Renewal Bio’s proprietary Stembroid™ platform reprograms patient-derived cells into functional human tissues, enabling breakthroughs in treatments for leukemia, immune disorders, and organ failure.
The funding will accelerate pre-clinical development of Stembroid-derived hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and expand R&D into liver, heart, and pancreatic regeneration.
Wild to see how much volatility hit the market last month, yet @binance stayed solid with almost $120B in total reserves. That level of stability comes from structure, not sentiment! According to CryptoQuant, reserves have already rebounded by about $4B in recent weeks, now sitting just 17% below the October peak. In a market where sentiment swings fast, that kind of stability genuinely stands out. $USDT (ERC20) reserves just hit an all-time high of $42.8B, while $BTC holdings remain around 548K, keeping #Binance among the strongest in both liquidity and reliability. The pattern is clear. When the market turns unstable, users move toward platforms with transparent reserves and predictable execution. The data shows #Binance continues to be that choice.
See the numbers for yourself and understand why people keep trusting Binance:👉 https://cryptoquant.com/community/dashboard/68f165f0c23a4132441a91b6
@CoinDesk has released its 2025 Exchange Benchmark, and Binance’s position has never looked stronger!💎
@binance ranks first in both spot and derivatives with scores of 93.4 and 93.65. It is the only exchange to cross 90 in both categories, earning an AA rating built on deep liquidity, strong compliance, and consistent security performance.
What stands out just as much is how far the industry has matured. Nearly 60 percent of exchanges now operate under recognized regulations. Almost half publish Proof of Reserves, and a third provide audited financials. The market has moved well beyond speculation and into true institutional infrastructure. Security incidents continue to fall. Total losses this year sit around 62 million dollars, with none from top-tier venues. Trust is becoming the main driver of user activity. Regulatory progress is accelerating across major regions. MiCA in Europe, the UAE’s VASP regime, and new US stablecoin rules are raising standards and pushing exchanges to invest in better monitoring, stronger compliance, and greater transparency. #Binance remains central to that transition. It handles 26 percent of global spot volume, leads derivatives by an even wider margin, and provides the liquidity that delivers tighter spreads and more efficient execution worldwide. Competition is rising too. The number of AA-rated exchanges has doubled from four to eight this year, showing how credibility has become the defining metric. Centralized exchanges now operate much more like financial infrastructure. They are regulated, resilient, and increasingly connected with on-chain systems. #Binance continues to help shape that evolution through custody innovation, off-exchange settlement, and tokenized collateral that links traditional and digital markets. Transparency remains the benchmark for leadership. #Binance ’s AA rating and top position in CoinDesk’s 2025 assessment reinforce its status as the global standard for trust and performance. Trade with confidence on #Binance , the world’s highest-rated exchange in CoinDesk’s 2025 Benchmark.👉🏻 binance.com/en
