What to know:

  • The project behind Celestia rolled out on Monday what it calls its biggest software upgrade yet, dubbed Matcha.
  • At its core, this update is designed to boost the network’s capacity and improve token economics.
  • The project’s native token, TIA, is roughly 6% up over the last 24 hours at roughly $0.65. However, the token is a long-way down from its peak of $19.7 in December 2024 (97% down).

The project behind the data availability blockchain Celestia rolled out on Monday what it calls its biggest software upgrade yet, dubbed Matcha.

At its core, this update is designed to boost the network’s capacity and improve token economics. Among the technical changes, it increases the maximum block size to 128 MB (up from 8 MB) and changes how data propagation works, enabling much higher throughput.

Simply put, Celestia is preparing itself to handle much more data, which is important if many applications start using it as their underlying “routing” or “data-availability” layer.

Beyond throughput, Matcha upgrade also claims to make significant economic and interoperability improvements. The upgrade cuts annual token inflation from ~5% down to ~2.5%. It also removes a “token filter” for cross-chain bridges, meaning non-TIA assets can more easily be moved through or routed by the Celestia layer. This is meant to signal that Celestia wants to become a go-to layer for cross-chain data availability and asset routing.

The project’s native token, TIA, is roughly up about 6% over the last 24 hours, trading around $0.65. However, the token is still down 97% from its peak of around $19.70 in December 2024.

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach

The post UK Looks to US to Adopt More Crypto-Friendly Approach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The UK and US are reportedly preparing to deepen cooperation on digital assets, with Britain looking to copy the Trump administration’s crypto-friendly stance in a bid to boost innovation.  UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent discussed on Tuesday how the two nations could strengthen their coordination on crypto, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.  The discussions also involved representatives from crypto companies, including Coinbase, Circle Internet Group and Ripple, with executives from the Bank of America, Barclays and Citi also attending, according to the report. The agreement was made “last-minute” after crypto advocacy groups urged the UK government on Thursday to adopt a more open stance toward the industry, claiming its cautious approach to the sector has left the country lagging in innovation and policy.  Source: Rachel Reeves Deal to include stablecoins, look to unlock adoption Any deal between the countries is likely to include stablecoins, the Financial Times reported, an area of crypto that US President Donald Trump made a policy priority and in which his family has significant business interests. The Financial Times reported on Monday that UK crypto advocacy groups also slammed the Bank of England’s proposal to limit individual stablecoin holdings to between 10,000 British pounds ($13,650) and 20,000 pounds ($27,300), claiming it would be difficult and expensive to implement. UK banks appear to have slowed adoption too, with around 40% of 2,000 recently surveyed crypto investors saying that their banks had either blocked or delayed a payment to a crypto provider.  Many of these actions have been linked to concerns over volatility, fraud and scams. The UK has made some progress on crypto regulation recently, proposing a framework in May that would see crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents treated similarly to traditional finance firms, with…
