Binance has completed the integration of Arbitrum One mainnet, a scaling solution for the Ethereum network, and is allowing users to deposit ether via Arbitrum One Layer 2, the exchange announced on Nov. 19.

  • Arbitrum One is the beta mainnet of a rollup solution developed by Offchain Labs.
  • Binance has assigned ether deposit addresses to users. The exchange will open withdrawals at a later, unspecified date, according to the announcement.
  • One decentralized finance trader told CoinDesk via Discord that “this is fairly big news because it will enable more people to use Arbitrum without having to touch Ethereum.” Currently, users have to go onto a different network, then bridge to Aributrum, which can be expensive, the trader said.
  • Rollups are an increasingly popular solution to boost throughput on Ethereum. They work by executing transactions outside Ethereum’s main chain, layer 1, but storing the data on it.

Pudgy Penguins: A New Blueprint for Tokenized Culture

Pudgy Title Image

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.

What to know:

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.

The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

  • Coinbase’s new Quantum Advisory Council marks a shift from theoretical concern to institutional response.
  • Bitcoin’s architecture is conservative but adaptable, according to Benchmark analyst Mark Palmer, with a long runway for upgrades.
