The post Netflix ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Episode Runtimes Contradict Rumors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ahead of the triple-date release of Stranger Things season 5 this fall, rumors began to circulate that this season was going to be so big that every single one of its episodes was 90 minutes to 2 hours long, a blockbuster movie per entry. Well, not quite. While definitely long, Netflix has now released official runtimes for at least the first four episodes of Stranger Things season 5, which will air on November 26. Three more will air December 25, then the season finale on December 31. The first four runtimes are: Season 5, Episode 1 “The Crawl” – 1 hour 8 minutes Season 5, Episode 2 “The Vanishing of [Redacted] – 54 minutes Season 5, Episode 3 “The Turnbow Trap” – 1 hour 6 minutes Season 5, Episode 4 “Sorcerer” – 1 hour 23 minutes Again, not short, but not crazy. I’m not surprised that episode 4 is the longest, given that with these mid-season breaks, Netflix wants to create “mini finales’ to make sure people tune back in a month later. Right now, this has not broken with series tradition. Earlier episodes may have been shorter, but ones like The Hellfire Club and Dear Billy in season 4 were 77 and 78 minutes long respectively. The longest series episode is the season 4 finale, the almost comical 2 hour and 19 minute The Piggyback. Even if these first four episodes are shorter than predicted, I have to imagine the final four will see their lengths grow. I’d be stunned if any of the next three were under an hour, and at this point, I’m predicting nothing less than a 2.5 hour series finale. Netflix and The Duffer Brothers want to make this the TV event to end all TV events, and with a reportedly absurd budget of $50-60… The post Netflix ‘Stranger Things’ Season 5 Episode Runtimes Contradict Rumors appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Ahead of the triple-date release of Stranger Things season 5 this fall, rumors began to circulate that this season was going to be so big that every single one of its episodes was 90 minutes to 2 hours long, a blockbuster movie per entry.

Well, not quite. While definitely long, Netflix has now released official runtimes for at least the first four episodes of Stranger Things season 5, which will air on November 26. Three more will air December 25, then the season finale on December 31. The first four runtimes are:

  • Season 5, Episode 1 “The Crawl” – 1 hour 8 minutes
  • Season 5, Episode 2 “The Vanishing of [Redacted] – 54 minutes
  • Season 5, Episode 3 “The Turnbow Trap” – 1 hour 6 minutes
  • Season 5, Episode 4 “Sorcerer” – 1 hour 23 minutes

Again, not short, but not crazy. I’m not surprised that episode 4 is the longest, given that with these mid-season breaks, Netflix wants to create “mini finales’ to make sure people tune back in a month later.

Right now, this has not broken with series tradition. Earlier episodes may have been shorter, but ones like The Hellfire Club and Dear Billy in season 4 were 77 and 78 minutes long respectively. The longest series episode is the season 4 finale, the almost comical 2 hour and 19 minute The Piggyback.

Even if these first four episodes are shorter than predicted, I have to imagine the final four will see their lengths grow. I’d be stunned if any of the next three were under an hour, and at this point, I’m predicting nothing less than a 2.5 hour series finale. Netflix and The Duffer Brothers want to make this the TV event to end all TV events, and with a reportedly absurd budget of $50-60 million an episode, they better deliver.

Stranger Things season 4 is the sixth most-viewed season in Netflix history, behind Wednesday, Adolescence and three seasons of Squid Games. Netflix will no doubt want to beat its 140 million views, though this decision to break up the show into three parts, and air all three of those parts on holidays demanding hours of attention per day, seems like it could backfire. But we won’t know until it’s out. It’s about a month and a half until these first four episodes are out, so block off about five hours of time to make sure you can get through them before spoilers explode all over the internet.

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…

Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation

Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation

The post Hoskinson to Attend Senate Roundtable on Crypto Regulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Hoskinson confirmed for Senate roundtable on U.S. crypto regulation and market structure. Key topics include SEC vs CFTC oversight split, DeFi regulation, and securities rules. Critics call the roundtable slow, citing Trump’s 2025 executive order as faster. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has confirmed that he will attend the Senate Banking Committee roundtable on crypto market structure legislation.  Hoskinson left a hint about his attendance on X while highlighting Journalist Eleanor Terrett’s latest post about the event. Crypto insiders will meet with government officials Terrett shared information gathered from some invitees to the event, noting that a group of leaders from several major cryptocurrency establishments would attend the event. According to Terrett, the group will meet with the Senate Banking Committee leadership in a roundtable to continue talks on market structure regulation. Meanwhile, Terrett noted that the meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18, following an industry review of the committee’s latest approach to distinguishing securities from commodities, DeFi treatment, and other key issues, which has lasted over one week.  Related: Senate Draft Bill Gains Experts’ Praise for Strongest Developer Protections in Crypto Law Notably, the upcoming roundtable between US legislators and crypto industry leaders is a continuation of the process of regularising cryptocurrency regulation in the United States. It is part of the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to provide clarity in the US cryptocurrency ecosystem, which many crypto supporters consider a necessity for the digital asset industry. Despite the ongoing process, some crypto users are unsatisfied with how the US government is handling the issue, particularly the level of bureaucracy involved in creating a lasting cryptocurrency regulatory framework. One such user criticized the process, describing it as a “masterclass in bureaucratic foot-dragging.” According to the critic, America is losing ground to nations already leading in blockchain innovation. He cited…
