BNB Chain Gets BSCTrace as New BSCScan API Alternative

Key Highlights:

  • BSCScan APIs have been deprecated, developers were forced to shift to Etherscan which provided paid access.
  • BSCTrace was introduced as an alternative to BSCScan.
  • Developers regain stability and lower costs.

BNB Chain developers are facing a big change standing right in front of them. According to the announcement made by the official X page of BNB Chain, today, December 18, 2025, the old BSCScan APIs, from which many projects used to get on-chain data such as wallet balances and transaction histories, are being shut down. All BSCScan data is now part of Etherscan’s system.

This means that the developers can no longer use the old free BSCScan endpoints. In addition to this, they will have to switch to Etherscan’s new unified API and pay for access, as free-tier options for BNB Chain are gone.

Moreover, if projects do not make this switch, features that rely on BSCScan, like showing wallet balances or transaction history, could stop working.

Why the Deprecation? Streamlining and Monetizing Drive Change

BSCScan’s shutdown is actually a part of a bigger move where blockchain tools are being simplified. Etherscan, which now manages BSCScan, wants  all chains, like Ethereum and BNB Chain, to use the same APIs.

This will make things simpler but ends BNB Chain’s free access. From now on, users will have to pay and only then users will be able to fetch BNB Chain data.

Many users from the crypto community call this change a way to make money. Even though Etherscan has promised better features, developers have already started noticing some missing functions such as getting detailed transaction histories, which used to be very easy with the BSCScan.

BSCTrace Emerges as Lifeline: Free Tier and Enhanced Features

In order to provide BNB Chain developers a simpler, cheaper and fully functional alternative, BSCTrace was introduced. BSCTrace is a new BNB Chain explorer by MegaNode, which is now being recommended as an alternative to Etherscan V2.

Unlike Etherscan’s paid, query-string REST APIs, BSCTrace uses standard JSON-RPC 2.0 requests over HTTP POST, which are simpler and more familiar to developers.

Making this switch to BSCTrace is easy. Instead of using BSCScan’s complicated old modules, developers can actually use standard commands like eth_getBalance to check balances. New features like nr_getAssetTransfers let you see full transaction histories for all types of tokens (ERC20, ERC721, ERC1155).

There’s a free tier as well for small projects and one paid tier for larger use, much simpler than Etherscan’s four-tier system.

Other benefits include:

  • Works with standard JSON-RPC commands, so it’s compatible with most tools.
  • High-speed BNB Chain infrastructure is supported.
  • Easy API key setup through MegaNode’s dashboard.
  • Documentation shows how old BSCScan features map to BSCTrace, making migration smooth.

How It Helps Users: Cost Savings and Reliability

For developers, apps and data analysts, BSCTrace cuts costs and avoids service disruptions, which is very important during slow market conditions. It brings back free access that Etherscan removed, so projects do not have to pay just to keep basic features up and running.

BSCTrace also gives better error messages and more detailed data, making analysis more reliable. As a result, wallets, DeFi dashboards, and NFT platforms can work smoothly again, without paying Etherscan’s high fees.

Future Outlook: Optimized BNB Ecosystem Ahead

BSCTrace sets BNB chain up for growth in DeFi and gaming by simply offering a platform that is reliable, low-cost APIs. While some teams may mix tools as Etherscan V2 evolves, MegaNode’s BNB-first approach gives it a strong edge.

With easy migration and most old APIs already mapped, developers can switch quickly and keep their systems future ready.

Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2

The post Born Again’ Season 3 Way Before Season 2 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Daredevil Born Again Marvel MCU fans were thrilled that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil was being brought back to life after his unceremonious execution after his show’s Netflix run, where everything was transitioning to Disney Plus. Born Again felt like a moment that would never come, and when it did, it mostly satisfied fans, with few exceptions. Now, according to a new IGN interview with head of TV Brad Winderbaum, Marvel has greenlit Daredevil: Born Again for season 3, well before season 2 airs in March 2026. Originally, the plan was an 18-episode run across two seasons, but Marvel seems to have much larger plans for Matt Murdoch and his series. This is a combination of two things. First, the positive fan reception to season 1. While there were some hiccups here, where the middle of the season had parts of the previously canned version of the show they had to work around, the first and last few episodes were incredible, and that’s the team making all of season 2 and presumably season 3 going forward. So, that’s great news. Second, this is a move by Marvel to reduce the cost of its endless supply of Disney Plus shows by focusing on more “street level” content. MCU series have been all over the place in terms of their focus and their budgets, culminating in the ridiculous $212 million budget for six episodes of the VFX-heavy Secret Invasion, one of the worst things Marvel has ever produced. Now? The name of the game is lower costs. Agatha All Along was a prime example of this, one of the MCU’s cheapest projects ever but one of its best shows. Disney is investing deeper into the “Daredevil-verse” here, as season 2 of Born Again features Jessica Jones, who might be destined to return for her…

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October

The post CME Group to launch Solana and XRP futures options in October appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. CME Group is preparing to launch options on SOL and XRP futures next month, giving traders new ways to manage exposure to the two assets.  The contracts are set to go live on October 13, pending regulatory approval, and will come in both standard and micro sizes with expiries offered daily, monthly and quarterly. The new listings mark a major step for CME, which first brought bitcoin futures to market in 2017 and added ether contracts in 2021. Solana and XRP futures have quickly gained traction since their debut earlier this year. CME says more than 540,000 Solana contracts (worth about $22.3 billion), and 370,000 XRP contracts (worth $16.2 billion), have already been traded. Both products hit record trading activity and open interest in August. Market makers including Cumberland and FalconX plan to support the new contracts, arguing that institutional investors want hedging tools beyond bitcoin and ether. CME’s move also highlights the growing demand for regulated ways to access a broader set of digital assets. The launch, which still needs the green light from regulators, follows the end of XRP’s years-long legal fight with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. A federal court ruling in 2023 found that institutional sales of XRP violated securities laws, but programmatic exchange sales did not. The case officially closed in August 2025 after Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million fine, removing one of the biggest uncertainties hanging over the token. This is a developing story.
