Solana activated its Transaction V1 format on September ninth, and the question now isn't whether it works. It's whether anyone will use it.
That's only half of Solana's near-term upgrade picture. The Alpenglow consensus overhaul is targeting an October launch, contingent on the Agave four-point-three client release.
Shifting to regulatory developments, Iran formally eased its foreign exchange rules on September eighth, permitting businesses to use Bitcoin and USDT for international transactions through domestic crypto exchanges. This is a shift from tacit tolerance to explicit policy.
Strategy returned to Bitcoin accumulation after a ten-week pause, purchasing four thousand, six hundred and three BTC between August twenty-fourth and thirtieth at an average of eighty thousand, three hundred and eighteen dollars per coin. Total holdings now sit at eight hundred and forty-five thousand and fifty BTC.
BitMine added twenty-eight thousand and eighty-six ETH last week, bringing its treasury to just under five-point-nine-three million tokens. That's approximately four-point-nine percent of Ethereum's estimated circulating supply.
Canary Capital launched TRXS, the first US spot staked TRX ETF. It expands the staking-as-product category beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum into institutional territory for Tron.
