PANews reported on December 19th, citing Cointelegraph, that perpetual contract trading platform Synthetix announced its return to the Ethereum mainnet. Its founder, Kain Warwick, stated that previously, high gas fees and network congestion forced derivatives platforms, including Synthetix, to migrate to Layer 2 networks or other alternative blockchains. However, transaction fees on the Ethereum mainnet have now significantly decreased, enabling it to run high-frequency financial applications again. Synthetix migrated to the Ethereum Layer 2 network Optimism in 2022, and subsequently expanded to Arbitrum and Base. Etherscan data shows that on Wednesday, the average Ethereum gas fee was approximately 0.71 gwei, a nearly 26-fold decrease from 18.85 gwei on the same day twelve months ago.

Warwick points out that, combined with the scaling progress of Layer 2 and the mainnet, critical infrastructure can now run on the mainnet. He believes that the Ethereum mainnet possesses the most liquidity, assets, and margin in the crypto world, making it the most efficient on-chain market, and anticipates that other perpetual contract decentralized exchanges will follow suit. He also states that 2025 will be Ethereum's most significant year of development since its merger in 2022, with greater attention being paid to the needs of network builders.

Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome

The post Edges higher ahead of BoC-Fed policy outcome appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. USD/CAD gains marginally to near 1.3760 ahead of monetary policy announcements by the Fed and the BoC. Both the Fed and the BoC are expected to lower interest rates. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern. The USD/CAD pair ticks up to near 1.3760 during the late European session on Wednesday. The Loonie pair gains marginally ahead of monetary policy outcomes by the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the Federal Reserve (Fed) during New York trading hours. Both the BoC and the Fed are expected to cut interest rates amid mounting labor market conditions in their respective economies. Inflationary pressures in the Canadian economy have cooled down, emerging as another reason behind the BoC’s dovish expectations. However, the Fed is expected to start the monetary-easing campaign despite the United States (US) inflation remaining higher. Investors will closely monitor press conferences from both Fed Chair Jerome Powell and BoC Governor Tiff Macklem to get cues about whether there will be more interest rate cuts in the remainder of the year. According to analysts from Barclays, the Fed’s latest median projections for interest rates are likely to call for three interest rate cuts by 2025. Ahead of the Fed’s monetary policy, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, holds onto Tuesday’s losses near 96.60. USD/CAD forms a Head and Shoulder chart pattern, which indicates a bearish reversal. The neckline of the above-mentioned chart pattern is plotted near 1.3715.

The 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) slides to near 40.00. A fresh bearish momentum would emerge if the RSI falls below that level.
