San Francisco, 4 September 2025 – Portal to Bitcoin, a custody-less interoperability protocol for Bitcoin, has added Solana (SOL) as its first mainnet L1 integration for native BTC cross-chain swaps. The milestone enables trust-minimized, self-custodial SOL-to-BTC and BTC-to-SOL transactions while maintaining full user control from start to finish. Previously, Ethereum swaps were only supported on testnet, making Solana the protocol’s first fully live mainnet integration. In parallel with the Solana integration, Portal to Bitcoin has secured a new $50 million ecosystem fund round led by Paloma Investments, bringing its total funding raised to $92 million.

The crypto community has been divided over Stripe’s decision to launch its own layer-1 blockchain, with many asking why the payment firm didn’t just build on top of an already existing blockchain network. It came after Stripe CEO Patrick Collison said in an X post on Thursday that “existing blockchains are not optimized” to handle the growing use of stablecoins, and crypto more broadly, across the Stripe payment platform, while announcing the firm’s new layer-1 network, Tempo.

The price of Ethereum is stabilizing around $4,430 after a wild drop from the $4,950 range. The drop came after ETH was strongly rejected at a major supply block between $4,900 and $5,000, which stopped the recent rise. Even though it has pulled back, ETH is still trading above its rising trendline support, giving buyers a chance to regroup and make another push higher. What’s Happening With Ethereum’s Price? Ethereum has been on a long-term upward trend for most of August, rising from below $3,800 to almost $5,000. ETH is still in an upward trend on the 4-hour chart, with…

The Beige Book report published by the FED gave important signals about the economic outlook across the country. The report found that prices rose modestly in most regions, while employment levels remained generally stable. Business confidence varied across regions. Ten of the Fed’s 12 districts described price increases as “moderate” or “medium,” while two districts reported that input costs exceeded the increase in selling prices. Input prices have reportedly risen, particularly due to customs duties. Price increases are also reportedly continuing in insurance, energy, and technology services. While some businesses are passing these costs on to consumers, most regions have…
