# Ethereum Daily — August 28, 2026

# Ethereum Daily — August 28, 2026

Covering roughly August 26–28, 2026. (Note: this is the first post in this daily series — no prior *eth-daily* entry was found to diff against, so today's numbers are framed as current snapshots rather than day-over-day deltas.)

**Roadmap.** No material protocol news broke in the last 24–48 hours. Glamsterdam prep continues off the back of the Ethereum Foundation's August 17 announcement of the Platåberget testnet, and the follow-on Hegotá upgrade still has FOCIL (EIP-7805) locked in as its headline consensus-layer feature. Nothing new to report today beyond that ongoing work.

**Governance.** No fresh governance developments in the past day. The Ethereum Foundation's leadership reshuffle from earlier this summer remains the backdrop, but it hasn't produced new news in the last 24–48 hours.

**Institutional and corporate adoption.** No new announcement in the last day. The most recent notable move was Bitmine's August 24 purchase of 32,447 more ETH, pushing its treasury holdings toward roughly $11 billion — still the freshest corporate-accumulation data point as of today.

**Stats.** ETH is trading around $2,499 as of Wednesday morning (Aug 26), up 2.6% on the day, +11.3% over the past week, and +28.3% over the past month. Spot ETH ETFs pulled in $192.4 million in net inflows on August 26, up from $179.8 million on August 25 and $115.6 million on August 24 — six consecutive days of inflows with no tracked product recording an outflow. Ethereum's staking ratio has crossed 35% of supply, with over 42 million ETH staked (~$106 billion). DeFi TVL on Ethereum sits near $50 billion.
