- 20:52Kalshi's valuation doubles within weeks, prediction market forms a duopoly patternJinse Finance reported that prediction markets have rapidly become a new hotspot in the crypto and fintech sectors. Kalshi received over $1.3 billion in new capital this quarter, with its valuation soaring from $5 billion to $11 billion within weeks. Its competitor Polymarket is also negotiating new financing, targeting a valuation between $12 billion and $15 billion. Market capital is highly concentrated on the Kalshi and Polymarket platforms, with investors betting that the two will form a duopoly in prediction markets and become the core venues for event risk and sentiment data trading. Both platforms have benefited from a clearer regulatory path in the United States: Kalshi operates as a CFTC-licensed exchange, while Polymarket has just received CFTC approval to re-enter the US market.

- 20:23Ethereum raises block gas limit from 45 million to 60 millionForesight News: According to The Block, data from GasLimit.pics shows that Ethereum's block gas limit has been increased from 45 million to 60 million, boosting the network's transaction capacity. Ethereum Foundation researcher Toni Wahrstätter stated that, driven by the community, Ethereum has doubled its gas limit within a year. This adjustment was automatically applied on November 25, as more than half of the validators signaled their support. This gas limit increase comes just days before Ethereum's planned Fusaka hard fork. The hard fork is expected to take place on December 3, with its core content being a redesign of PeerDAS (data availability sampling), aiming to achieve more reliable and efficient rollup data throughput. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin stated that raising the gas limit is part of a shift toward more targeted optimizations, and future adjustments may further increase the gas limit while raising gas costs for computation-intensive operations, such as complex precompiles and opcodes.
