first_img Solana validators approve proposal to accelerate SOL deflation, doubling the annual deflation rate to 30%

Solana validators have voted to approve the "Dual Deflation" proposal numbered SGP-0002, increasing the network's annual deflation rate from 15% to 30%, while maintaining a long-term inflation target of 1.5%. According to the final voting results, the proposal received 67% support, 25.16% opposed, and 7.84% abstained, with a participation rate of 60.7%. The new plan is expected to bring SOL to a terminal inflation rate of 1.5% in about 2.8 years, while the original plan would take approximately 5.7 years, with an expected reduction of about 18.9 million SOL issued over the next six years.This vote marks Solana's first binding governance process, which also approved the proposed Solana Constitution while rejecting another proposal regarding resource and inclusion fees. The positions of major participants have diverged: the largest voter, Figment, holding 17.1 million SOL, cast all opposing votes, while Helius and Jupiter overwhelmingly supported it. The U.S. exchange Kraken briefly cast an opposing vote at 12:33 UTC during the voting process, causing the support rate to dip below the threshold, but ultimately over 90% of its approximately 8.9 million SOL voting position turned to support.Meanwhile, Bitwise's Solana ETF has surpassed $1 billion in assets under management, becoming the first Solana ETF to reach this milestone. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, U.S. Solana ETFs have seen a cumulative net inflow of about $1.7 billion since their launch, with almost no sustained outflows.

first_img The Clarity Act has been postponed to September, and banks are still accelerating their layout of tokenized deposits

Vassilis Tziokas from Matter Labs pointed out in a CoinDesk article that the U.S. Senate has postponed the Clarity Act until September. This market structure bill failed to complete the final vote before the August recess, meaning that regulatory rules for the digital asset market will take weeks to be implemented. Meanwhile, banks are not waiting for regulation; JPMorgan has processed over $30 trillion in transactions through the Kinexys platform and launched the deposit token JPMD, while Citigroup operates cross-border Treasury token services. A clearinghouse, in collaboration with 17 major financial institutions, plans to achieve on-chain tokenized deposit clearing by 2027.The article argues that the interoperability of interbank tokenized deposits does not come from messaging standards or token bridges, but is realized through clearing mechanisms: the sending bank redeems tokens, the receiving bank issues its own tokens, inter-institutional obligations are recorded and netted, and ultimately settled in central bank currency. The engineering challenge lies in simultaneously satisfying privacy, neutrality, and verifiability; each institution must operate its own ledger, prove transfers through cryptography without exposing underlying data, and anchor to a neutral settlement facility owned by no participants.The author notes that the Clarity Act will not directly regulate tokenized deposits, but it can clarify the boundaries of the digital asset market and improve the stablecoin framework established by the GENIUS Act. The Global Financial Markets Association's report in April 2026 lists unresolved gaps such as unified processing of cross-border tokenized deposits and guidelines for off-network transfers, which are regulatory unlocking points for interbank tokenized fund interoperability. In the face of regulatory uncertainty, banks rationally choose to isolate, and each month of delay rewards closed gardens.

first_img Tencent Hunyuan releases and open-sources Hy4 preview, with a total of 770B parameters and 49B activated

Tencent Hunyuan has released and open-sourced the next-generation large language model Hy4 preview. This model has a total of 770B parameters and 49B active parameters, with a context length exceeding 1M. It demonstrates strong capabilities in real productivity tasks such as coding, office work, and science, firmly placing it in the top tier of open-source models. Hy4 preview significantly expands in model size, context length, and data scale, and enhances real-world performance through high-quality data co-built with Tencent experts in software engineering, gaming, finance, security, and deep collaboration with products like WorkBuddy.In software engineering, the model enhances understanding, planning, debugging, and verification capabilities for long-range development tasks, enabling the construction of complex front-end projects like a Three.js miniature town from scratch. In game development, it supports generating playable prototypes from a single sentence and can complete a full demo in Unity. In smart office applications, it can handle complex financial audits, filtering, analyzing, and delivering from multiple documents. In scientific research, it achieves acceleration in tasks such as molecular dynamics simulations and has initially formed a recursive self-improvement feedback loop.Hy4 preview can be experienced in Tencent products such as WorkBuddy/CodeBuddy domestic and international versions, Yuanbao, ima, and can also be accessed via API calls through Tencent Cloud Tokenhub and OpenRouter. WorkBuddy/CodeBuddy will launch a limited-time free activity for two weeks. Since the reconstruction of the infrastructure, the Hunyuan large model has iterated a major version approximately every two months, continuously optimizing through a preview-first and formal version-following approach.

OKX Director Lennix: The financial market is accelerating towards tokenization and around-the-clock trading

On August 28, OKX Director Lennix was invited to attend the Bitcoin Asia 2026 roundtable forum "The Rise of Financial Super Applications," where he shared insights on the integration of traditional finance and the crypto market, the underlying infrastructure of financial super applications, and the development prospects of stock tokenization.Lennix stated that financial products are accelerating towards integration within the same account system. In the future, users will want to trade and manage different categories of financial assets under the same funds, the same account, and the same margin and risk control system, which will become an important direction for the continuous evolution of the industry. He pointed out that on the surface, financial super applications allow trading of crypto, traditional stock assets, foreign exchange, commodities, etc., within one application; however, the real challenge lies in the connectivity of the underlying infrastructure of various assets, including the banking system, wallets, trading accounts, shared margins, and the collaboration between risk control and compliance backends.At the same time, Lennix mentioned that stock tokenization and the tokenization of traditional financial assets are essentially an upgrade to the traditional market. By connecting relevant assets to the matching, margin, risk control, and compliance systems of cryptocurrency exchanges, the market can achieve longer trading and risk management periods, while continuously providing price signals during non-trading hours. When discussing institutional cooperation, Lennix stated that the strategic investment of the Intercontinental Exchange in the OKX Group reflects that the financial market is moving towards tokenization and around-the-clock trading. With the continuous growth of stock tokenization business, this field is expected to become an important development direction for future financial markets.
