According to @ItsDave_ADA, Cardano mainnet Mithril snapshots still reference node version v10.5.2, which he states was the version impacted during the fork, source: @ItsDave_ADA post on Nov 25, 2025 and the Mithril aggregator artifact he linked. For traders, this matters because Mithril snapshots are used to bootstrap Cardano nodes and must align with stable node versions to avoid sync issues for operators, source: Input Output Global Mithril documentation. Until an updated snapshot is published or official guidance is issued, ADA market participants should monitor IOG and Mithril channels for status updates that could influence infrastructure reliability tracked by exchanges and staking services, source: @ItsDave_ADA highlighting the current snapshot version and Input Output Global Mithril documentation.

According to Dave (@ItsDave_ADA), Input Output (IOG) and Fairgate Labs revealed major Bitcoin DeFi advancements at the Bitcoin 2025 Conference in Las Vegas on May 27, 2025. The update introduces decentralized finance functions such as lending and trustless swaps to Bitcoin, utilizing BitVMX technology. This development significantly enhances Bitcoin’s utility beyond simple value transfer, potentially driving increased on-chain activity, liquidity, and attracting DeFi capital to the BTC ecosystem. Traders should monitor Bitcoin and related DeFi tokens for increased volatility and new trading opportunities, as the integration of these capabilities may have a ripple effect across the broader crypto market.
