Ethereum's Strawmap Overview: The Ethereum Foundation's researcher, Justin Drake, introduced a "strawmap" outlining a roadmap for the Ethereum network through 2029, proposing seven protocol forks over the next three years to enhance security and performance.

Quantum Resistance Strategy: The roadmap suggests that Ethereum can achieve quantum-resistant slots sooner than finality, indicating a proactive approach to potential threats from quantum computing.

Market Response: Following the announcement, Ethereum's price surged nearly 8%, reaching around $2,000, while retail sentiment around altcoins improved from bearish to neutral.

Technical Objectives: The strawmap focuses on five key technical objectives, including faster transaction speeds and improved privacy measures, with updates to be maintained quarterly by the Ethereum Foundation's architecture team.

Market Reaction: ETHZilla shares fell more than 5% in overnight trading after regulatory filings revealed that Peter Thiel's Founders Fund had completely exited its position in the company, leading to significant losses among crypto-linked equities.
