The Solana Treasury Bet Attracts Institutional Interest

The post The Solana Treasury Bet Attracts Institutional Interest appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Solana’s Treasury/DAT discussed by key crypto leaders at TOKEN2049. Institutional adoption grows with innovative Treasury strategies. Potential consolidation in DAT markets predicted by experts. Key figures from Jump Crypto, Pantera Capital, Drift, and Galaxy Digital shared insights at TOKEN 2049’s Solana Treasury Bet roundtable in Singapore. This discussion highlights Solana’s growing appeal among institutional investors due to regulatory changes, showcasing Solana’s potential for significant revenue growth and ongoing market consolidation trends. Solana Emerges as Institutional Favorite Amid Crypto Developments Jason Urban, Global Head of Trading, Galaxy Digital, said, “Under the new US regulatory environment, many L1 and L2 are no longer considered securities, which opens the door for public companies to acquire cryptocurrencies in large quantities and trade them on the public market.” The adoption of DAT impacts how institutions integrate crypto into existing treasury systems, illustrating the ongoing attraction for traditional investors. Pantera Capital’s Cosmo Jiang pointed out that Solana’s potential $2 billion annual revenue and consistent growth are appealing to the public market. Reactions remain optimistic as Solana’s revenue prospects entice investors. David Lu of Drift stated that if Drift underperforms against SOL, investors should consider holding SOL longer-term.

Buterin joins Xiao Feng on Ethereum Applications Guild

Buterin joins Xiao Feng on Ethereum Applications Guild

The post Buterin joins Xiao Feng on Ethereum Applications Guild appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Co-founded by Vitalik Buterin and Xiao Feng, the initiative expands on Shanhaiwoo’s three-year experiment, offering a collaborative framework to drive Ethereum into its long-promised application phase. Summary Vitalik Buterin and HashKey’s Xiao Feng co-founded the Ethereum Applications Guild at Token2049. The initiative builds on Shanhaiwoo’s three-year experiment, focusing on structured collaboration across Ethereum. According to a press release dated Oct. 2, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and HashKey Group CEO Dr. Xiao Feng jointly initiated the Ethereum Applications Guild (EAG) during the Token2049 summit in Singapore. The founders frame the initiative as an open, conceptual framework designed to forge a structured collaboration mechanism across the ecosystem. Notably, its goal is to accelerate the deployment of native Ethereum projects, aiming to pivot the entire network from an “infrastructure-dominated” phase into an “application-driven” era. From Shanhaiwoo to a global Ethereum framework According to the press release, the Ethereum Applications Guild traces its roots back to Shanhaiwoo, a collaborative experiment launched in 2023 under Xiao Feng’s guidance. Shanhaiwoo has hosted global builders in locations from Beidahu, China, to Chiang Mai, Thailand, focusing on cross-disciplinary work in AI, crypto, and public goods. The central insight gleaned from this incubator was that Ethereum’s primary deficit is no longer technological, but structural. Per the statement, participants concluded the ecosystem lacks a sustainable, structured co-creation mechanism, with public goods funding still limited and large-scale applications failing to materialize. With Shanhaiwoo serving as its primary incubation ground, the guild aims to channel this experimental energy toward concrete outcomes. It encourages developers to use this proven collaborative environment to build, validate, and advance solutions targeting real-world problems. The initiative’s launch was marked by strong endorsements from its founders. Feng said the guild marked a “pivotal moment for the application layer of Ethereum breaking out of its shell.” He framed the…

Centralized exchanges will be DeFi front ends in 5–10 years: 1inch co-founder

                                                                               1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz said centralized crypto exchanges will gradually fade and serve only as frontends for decentralized finance.                     Centralized crypto exchanges could disappear within the next decade as decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregators take over, according to 1inch co-founder Sergej Kunz.In an interview with Cointelegraph at Token2049 in Singapore, Kunz predicted that exchanges will slowly transition into frontends for decentralized exchanges (DEXs). “I think it will take like five to 10 years,” he said.Kunz argued that while centralized exchanges are isolated markets, 1inch and its aggregator act as a global liquidity hub. His comments came as 1inch announced a deal with major US crypto exchange Coinbase, integrating its service to provide DEX trading to its users.Read more

Bitwise CEO Sees Solana Edge in ETF Race Over Ethereum

Bitwise CEO Sees Solana Edge in ETF Race Over Ethereum

The post Bitwise CEO Sees Solana Edge in ETF Race Over Ethereum appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitwise CEO says Solana’s shorter unstaking period favors ETF issuers over Ethereum. SEC will decide on multiple Solana and Ethereum ETF applications in October. SOL trades above $222 with a potential breakout to $300. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley said Solana could gain an advantage over Ethereum in the race to launch staking exchange-traded funds, citing its faster unstaking process. His comments come as the U.S. SEC prepares to decide on several ETF applications this month. Bitwise CEO Highlights Solana’s ETF Advantage Speaking at Token2049 in Singapore, Horsley mentioned that Solana’s shorter unstaking period makes it easier for ETF issuers to meet redemption requests. Ethereum’s withdrawal queue, by comparison, has grown significantly, creating long delays for investors. “It’s a huge problem,” Horsley said, stressing that ETFs must be capable of returning assets within a very short period. Related: Solana Price Prediction: SOL Price Consolidates Within Rising Channel Liquidity Challenge for Ethereum ETFs On-chain data shows Ethereum’s staking system currently faces an average entry wait of about three days and an exit queue of roughly 34 days, with more than 2 million tokens awaiting withdrawal.  However, Solana’s exit period is much faster, which Horsley argues makes it more suitable for regulated funds that require quick liquidity. Ethereum-based products have worked around this issue through credit facilities and liquid staking tokens such as stETH. Yet, Horsley noted these options add costs and face capacity constraints. SEC ETF Decisions This October The SEC is reviewing ETF applications from major asset managers, including Bitwise, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and VanEck.  Decisions on Ethereum staking ETFs have already been delayed until late October, while Solana ETF proposals are also awaiting review. The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has raised concerns about further delays in approvals. Horsley’s comments come as institutional interest in Solana continues to grow. Multiple…

Liberland algorithm elects Justin Sun as prime minister for fifth time

Liberland algorithm elects Justin Sun as prime minister for fifth time

The post Liberland algorithm elects Justin Sun as prime minister for fifth time appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Controversial crypto billionaire Justin Sun has been elected Liberland prime minister for the fifth time since the micronation began carrying out blockchain-based elections last year.  The territory, which is nestled between Serbia and Croatia and holds an election every three months, announced the results of Wednesday’s vote today.  Alongside Sun, Cambridge Analytica whistleblower, Brittany Nicole Kaiser, was elected as “congresswoman.”  Justin Sun is at the top right of Liberland’s graph of staked tokens vs score. Read more: Justin Sun represents 99.9% of blacklisted World Liberty tokens To vote in Liberland’s elections, citizens must first stake the governance token Liberland Merits (LLM). They then choose which candidates they want to vote for and their tokens are “proportionally” allocated using the “Pergamon algorithm.”  Liberland says this distribution of staked LLM helps “promote fair representation across all voters.”  Sun is noted as initially staking 6.8 million LLM, before receiving a final stake of 997,000 LLM and a score of 687. This is more than double the amount of points allocated to runner-up, “Blueocean786.”  Interestingly, Liberland says a high initial stake “doesn’t guarantee election.” Regardless, Sun, with the highest stake this time round, has won five consecutive elections. Other elected officials include Tariq Abbasi, Navid Saberin, Michal Ptacni, Dorian Stern Vukotic, and Karnika Yashwant. They were elected as secretary of state, minister of finance, minister of justice, secretary of technology, and congressman, respectively. Protos is pretty sure Sun hasn’t been to Liberland Sun has been busy since he was elected in Liberland’s first test election in October last year. His US fraud case was paused by the Securities and Exchange Commission after investing millions of dollars into Donald Trump’s various crypto projects, he went to space after paying $28 million for a ticket on Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin, and he sued Bloomberg over the…
