Ethereum Developers Propose Gas Limit Increase Post-BPO Hard Fork

Key Points:
  • Ethereum plans to raise gas limit, aiming for efficiency.
  • Increased transaction throughput expected by January 2026.
  • Nethermind shows readiness as developers prepare for changes.

Ethereum developers announced plans to increase the network’s gas limit from 60 million to 80 million following the BPO hard fork on January 7, enhancing transaction throughput.

The gas limit increase could boost transaction speeds and reduce fees, further solidifying Ethereum’s role as a secure, decentralized settlement layer despite competition from L1 alternatives like Solana.

Ethereum’s Ambitious Gas Limit Jump to 80 Million

Ethereum’s core team plans to raise the gas limit from 60 million to 80 million after the upcoming BPO hard fork. This effort aims to boost network efficiency by allowing more transactions and operations per block.

The increase could improve Ethereum’s position as a secure and efficient settlement layer, though it may not match the speed of Layer 1 solutions like Solana. Current updates suggest readiness for this progression.

Ethereum’s Journey: Price Moves and Developer Optimizations

Did you know? Ethereum’s gas limits increased three times in 2025, starting at 36 million and ultimately reaching 60 million, parallel to incremental enhancements like Fusaka, which spurred transaction efficiency.

Per CoinMarketCap, Ethereum’s current price is $2,836.10, with a market cap of $342.30 billion. The trading volume in the last 24 hours showed an increase of 21.72%, highlighting dynamic interest amidst fluctuating valuation metrics.

The Coincu research team suggests that advancing towards a higher gas limit holds potential for greater scalability and reduced costs. Focus on client optimization and regulatory support remains crucial for these developments.

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
