- Ethereum Pauses Glamsterdam Testnet Fork Pending Gas Review — this brief
Ethereum’s planned Glamsterdam upgrade has been put on hold at the Hoodi testnet stage. According to 
Bitcoin World, Ethereum Foundation developer Marius van der Wijden said the fork will not proceed until security questions surrounding the upgrade’s gas-accounting changes have been resolved.
The reported pause centers on implementation security rather than a broader rejection of Glamsterdam. Gas accounting determines how network activity is measured and priced, making the review material to the upgrade’s readiness before it advances through testing.
Bitcoin World is the only outlet included in the supplied coverage, so there is no independent corroboration of the reported decision, its scope, or a revised timetable. The available report also does not provide a specific resolution date or additional technical findings about the outstanding concerns.
Market conditions provide a subdued backdrop. Ethereum is priced at $1,894.56, down 1.35% over 24 hours and 15.38% over seven days, while its market capitalization stands at $231.73 billion. The wider crypto market is broadly lower, with Bitcoin down 2.18% over 24 hours amid a total market capitalization of $2.33 trillion. The Fear & Greed index is at 13, corresponding to Extreme Fear. The immediate issue to monitor is whether developers can resolve the gas-accounting security questions sufficiently for the Hoodi fork to move forward. Until then, Glamsterdam remains outside the testnet phase described in the report, and its further progress is contingent on that review.
Since this brief published about 3 hours ago, Ethereum (ETH) has moved from ₹1,78,637.51$1,894.56 to ₹1,79,294.71$1,901.53 — +0.37%.
The chart plots ETH's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 ETH ≈ ₹190,495.28 (about $1,901.53), down 2.1% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 6.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
