Huoxun Finance News, January 20th - According to an official Pendle announcement, vePENDLE will be completely replaced by the sPENDLE mechanism. sPENDLE is a transferable, composable, liquid staking token with a 14-day exit period. Protocol revenue will be used to buy back PENDLE and distribute it to active sPENDLE holders; those not participating in governance will forfeit their current rewards. The original manual voting emission mechanism will be upgraded to an algorithmic model, expected to reduce emissions by 30%. A snapshot of existing vePENDLE will be taken on January 29th, and up to 4x virtual sPENDLE will be awarded based on the remaining lock-up time, with a gradual transition over two years.

According to an analysis released by Matrixport, as reported by Odaily Planet Daily, the recent increase in Ethereum (ETH) holdings is primarily driven by spot buying rather than leveraged funds. From a technical perspective, despite the rebound over the past two to three weeks, the medium-term investment logic for ETH remains valid. Technical indicators continue to improve, on-chain data is recovering, and market pricing in pessimistic expectations has eased, reducing short-term downward pressure. Structurally, the current ETH options market is dominated by selling call options, while spot buying still dominates, indicating more strategic position building than chasing the rally. This allows investors to retain some participation in the upward movement while realizing some volatility by selling call options to obtain premiums. Meanwhile, this round of accumulation is largely driven by spot buying, giving the rebound stronger support and sustainability.
