O dólar americano voltou a sofrer pressão, caindo para a mínima de 10 semanas contra uma cesta de moedas importantes, à medida que os investidores cortaram cada vez mais as expectativas para outro aumento da taxa de juros pelo Federal Reserve. O movimento destaca preocupações crescentes com a força da economia dos EUA e pode ter consequências importantes para ações, commodities, criptomoedas e moedas de mercados emergentes.
O Dollar Index (DXY) caiu recentemente para cerca de 99,29, seu menor nível em aproximadamente 10 semanas, à medida que os traders reagiram a dados econômicos dos EUA mais fracos e a mudanças nas expectativas sobre a política do Federal Reserve.

The Ethereum Foundation has launched Platåberget, a new public testnet designed to give developers, infrastructure providers, and the wider Ethereum ecosystem an early testing environment for the upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade. The testnet went live on August 17, 2026, marking an important step toward preparing Ethereum for its next major protocol upgrade. 
What Is the Platåberget Testnet?
Platåberget is a public testing ground specifically created for Glamsterdam. Unlike earlier private development networks, it is open to public participation, allowing developers and infrastructure operators to test how their applications and tools behave under the new protocol rules.
The Ethereum Foundation has encouraged wallet developers, blockchain indexers, gas estimators, and other ecosystem participants to begin testing as soon as possible. This is particularly important because Glamsterdam introduces changes that can break tools relying on a fixed maximum gas limit.
The Glamsterdam fork is scheduled to activate on Platåberget on August 20, allowing developers to observe the upgrade process on an active test environment before Ethereum moves toward later testing phases.
What Is Ethereum's Glamsterdam Upgrade?
Glamsterdam is the next major Ethereum protocol upgrade following Fusaka. The name combines Gloas, associated with Ethereum's consensus-layer work, and Amsterdam, associated with execution-layer development.
The upgrade is focused primarily on improving Ethereum's underlying infrastructure, increasing efficiency, and preparing the Layer 1 network for greater scalability. Ethereum's roadmap currently places Glamsterdam in the second half of 2026.
Rather than being a single user-facing feature, Glamsterdam contains several protocol-level improvements designed to change how Ethereum builds blocks, accesses state, and handles gas.
Key Features Being Tested
One of the major components is enshrined Proposer-Builder Separation (ePBS). This change brings proposer-builder separation directly into Ethereum's protocol, rather than relying as heavily on external mechanisms. Ethereum developers have spent months testing and hardening ePBS across multiple client implementations.
Another major component is Block-level Access Lists (BALs). These are intended to make state access more predictable and help Ethereum process transactions more efficiently. BAL development is an important part of the network's longer-term scaling strategy.
The upgrade also includes gas-pricing changes. Ethereum developers have been working on these changes alongside Glamsterdam's other features to make higher gas limits safer and more practical.
Why the Testnet Matters
Testing a major Ethereum upgrade on a public network gives developers an opportunity to identify compatibility problems before the changes reach mainnet.
The Foundation specifically warned that applications and tools assuming a hard maximum gas limit may stop working correctly. Wallets, indexers, gas estimation services and other infrastructure therefore have an important role to play in testing and updating their systems.
Ethereum developers have already established a post-Glamsterdam gas-limit target of 200 million during protocol testing, although the final configuration and rollout will depend on continued testing and implementation stability.
Glamsterdam Mainnet Timeline
The launch of Platåberget does not mean Glamsterdam is immediately coming to Ethereum mainnet.
Current plans place the Glamsterdam upgrade in Q4 2026, following the latest adjustment to the development timeline. Platåberget is expected to operate for several months before testing expands to established networks such as Sepolia and Hoodi.
This extended testing period is important because Glamsterdam introduces changes across both Ethereum's execution and consensus layers. Developers need sufficient time to test different clients, infrastructure, applications, and edge cases before setting a final mainnet activation date.
What Does Glamsterdam Mean for ETH?
For ordinary ETH users, many of Glamsterdam's changes will happen behind the scenes. Users are unlikely to notice a dramatic interface change immediately after the upgrade.
However, the long-term implications could be significant. Improvements to block construction, state access, gas accounting, and network capacity could help Ethereum handle greater activity while creating a stronger foundation for future scaling.
Ethereum's development team has described the broader goal as preparing the Layer 1 network for the next generation of scaling.
Final Thoughts
The launch of Platåberget is an important milestone for Ethereum's Glamsterdam upgrade. It moves the project from intensive developer testing toward broader public testing and gives the ecosystem an opportunity to identify problems before mainnet deployment.
With ePBS, Block-level Access Lists, gas-related changes, and higher capacity targets being tested, Glamsterdam represents a significant technical step in Ethereum's long-term scaling roadmap.
For ETH holders, developers, and blockchain infrastructure providers, the coming months will be worth watching closely as Platåberget progresses toward further testnet deployments and, eventually, the Glamsterdam mainnet upgrade.

Em uma escalada significativa das hostilidades regionais, o Irã aparentemente implantou seu míssil hipersônico Fattah-2 pela primeira vez em um cenário de combate operacional. Relatórios que surgiram em 1º de março de 2026 indicam que o Corpo da Guarda Revolucionária Islâmica (IRGC) lançou esses projéteis avançados contra alvos no Oriente Médio, incluindo ativos e locais militares dos EUA em Israel, após uma série de trocas de retaliação de alto risco.
Isso marca uma mudança crucial na "guerra de mísseis" que caracterizou a região nos últimos dois anos, passando de uma dissuasão teórica para o uso ativo da tecnologia hipersônica no campo de batalha.

🚨 A SOLANA ACABOU DE LANÇAR A ULTIMATIVA BOMBARDADA TROLL NA ARMA XRP 💣🔥
A conta oficial da Solana postou um único número — “589” — e toda a linha do tempo cripto detonou 😂💥
Se você já esteve por aqui tempo suficiente, você já sabe o que 589 significa para os fanáticos por XRP...
Aquela infame, totalmente falsa “previsão dos Simpsons” afirmando que o XRP chegaria a $589 até o final do ano 🤡💀
A Solana não adicionou uma legenda.
Não adicionou contexto.
Apenas deixou cair “589” e se afastou como um vilão 😈
