PANews reported on September 18th that in response to the discussion about the waiting time for staking, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said: "Staking means taking on the solemn responsibility of defending the blockchain. Exit resistance is part of the protocol. This is not to say that the current staking queue design is optimal, but to say that if the relevant parameter settings are naively reduced, the credibility of the chain will be greatly reduced from the perspective of those nodes that are not often online." Data from the validatorqueue website shows that as of now, the number of ETH in the Ethereum PoS network exit queue is 2,496,141, with a waiting time of approximately 43 days and 8 hours. During the same period, the number of ETH waiting to be activated is 464,626, with an estimated activation delay of approximately 8 days and 2 hours.PANews reported on September 18th that in response to the discussion about the waiting time for staking, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said: "Staking means taking on the solemn responsibility of defending the blockchain.

3 Coins to Buy Now as US Digital Assets Director Calls Creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve ‘Top Priority’

The post 3 Coins to Buy Now as US Digital Assets Director Calls Creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve ‘Top Priority’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 20 September 2025 | 09:20 A recent shift in U.S. policy, where Patrick Witt, Director of the President’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, affirmed that creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is a top priority, suggests that digital assets are entering a new phase of institutional acceptance. This change likely signals that markets will broaden their focus toward assets that combine utility, compliance, and community strength. Within that context, three coins may present compelling cases now: Little Pepe (LILPEPE), Sei (SEI), and Ripple (XRP). Little Pepe is currently in presale stage 13, priced at $0.0022, having raised more than $25.3 million across all stages, and sold over 15.6 billion tokens. These numbers indicate strong demand. Presale stages before this one sold out rapidly, signaling community momentum. The project is building an Ethereum-compatible Layer-2 blockchain specifically tailored for meme culture, with features such as near-zero gas fees, anti-sniper bot protections, and zero transaction tax. These features may help it avoid many of the pitfalls that legacy meme coins have suffered when network congestion or manipulation degrades user experience. The timing of Little Pepe’s growth aligns with institutional interest in digital assets. As governments signal they will formalize Bitcoin holdings, assets that are structured to scale, deliver fairness, and offer strong tokenomics may stand to gain a relative advantage. Little Pepe has a roadmap toward centralized exchange listings, a meme-launchpad on its chain, and governance and staking rewards. These fundamentals make Little Pepe a compelling choice for investors looking to buy coins with potential. As assets like Bitcoin become integrated into national reserves and policy frameworks, blockchains that deliver scalable performance without compromising decentralization may receive increased attention. Sei’s architecture may appeal to developers and institutions seeking alternatives to congested chains or slower consensus mechanisms. While Sei does not ride…
