A new Solana governance proposal wants to double the speed at which the network’s inflation rate declines, a move that would eliminate roughly $1.5 billion in future $SOL token emissions at current prices. SIMD-0550, submitted by Helius engineer lostintime101, has already picked up public backing from Solana Labs co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. The core mechanic is straightforward.

SIMD-0550 would crank that annual decline to 30%, keeping the starting rate at 8% but reaching the finish line in roughly 2.8 years instead…

Key takeaways Play-to-earn games are shifting from crypto reward-first designs to gameplay-first models that prioritize long-term player retention. Rollercoin, a browser-based mining simulator, illustrates the new approach: mini-games, consistent rewards, and accessible entry for new players. Traditional gaming mechanics — battle passes, daily missions, achievements — are now standard features…

Data from CryptoSlate shows Bitcoin trading around $64,000, nearly 50% below its October peak, while elevated network competition and weak transaction fees continue to squeeze miner revenue. Those pressures have made AI infrastructure increasingly attractive because>Bitwise Europe, told CryptoSlate that miners may be making that shift at the wrong point in the cycle.

Bitcoin’s short-term market structure is giving traders two very different stories at once: demand is appearing on dips, but resistance near the mid-$60,000s is still capping the recovery. TradingView BTCUSD chart shared by UnitedSignals. TL;DR UnitedSignals says BTCUSD could rise as demand begins to exceed supply on the chart.

During her Friday appearance on Fox Business, Kristin Smith, president of Solana Policy Institute, said the coming days could determine whether the industry finally secures a comprehensive federal regulatory framework after years of uncertainty. “We’ve come so far with this legislation since the House passed the Clarity Act a year ago,” Smith said. “There has been a lot of bipartisan input into this bill, and it is the best, most comprehensive language we’ve seen.” However, despite her optimism, betting markets have become increasingly…
