Andre Cronje: Solana's problem is an engineering obstacle rather than a consensus error

Andre Cronje, a director of the Fantom Foundation, wrote on X platform regarding the congestion issue on the Solana network. Currently, the crypto community has a high demand for block space on Solana, which is actually a bottleneck that needs to be optimized. However, this issue is just an engineering obstacle and not a consensus error, nor does it involve any important component problems. Solana can be considered a "successful victim".

  • BlackRock executive: More and more investors from different wealth classes are looking at Bitcoin as a hedging tool

    Bitcoin has been rising all the way, breaking through the $100,000 mark. A large part of the demand driving the rise in Bitcoin prices has recently flowed into Bitcoin ETFs. Jay Jacobs, head of thematic and active ETFs in the United States at BlackRock, said that since its launch in January of this year, the value of the IBIT ETF has grown to over $45 billion, and its value has increased by $4.1 billion in just the past month. Jacobs said that in addition to candidates who are more friendly to cryptocurrencies winning in elections, an increasing number of investors from different wealth levels are beginning to see Bitcoin as a tool to hedge against geopolitical risks and currency depreciation caused by inflation. As ETFs become an easy way for investors to understand Bitcoin price trends, mainstream interest in cryptocurrencies reaching a critical point is only a matter of time. (Jinse)

  • Matrixport: Solana’s funding rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, and a price correction may occur

    According to a report, Matrixport has released a chart today stating that Grayscale has submitted an application to convert Solana Trust into a spot ETF. Although the current asset management scale of the product is relatively small at $134 million, if approved, it will set an important market precedent for other ETF issuers. It is important to note that Solana's financing rate is currently as high as 70% annualized, which creates significant pressure on leveraged long positions. Historical experience shows that similar high financing rates are often related to price corrections, as was the case in March of this year when the SOL-USDT price fell under similar financing rate backgrounds.
  • Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is cautious about separate taxation of cryptocurrencies and approval of ETFs

Will the public understand the idea of applying separate self-assessment taxation? There are several issues that need to be resolved. We need to consider it carefully." At the same time, "whether cryptocurrency should be included in ETFs depends on whether cryptocurrency is an asset that needs to be made more easily accessible to the public."
