๐บ๐ธ US Banks Can Now Hold Crypto & Operate as Validators
The OCC has confirmed that U.S. banks can custody crypto, work with stablecoins, and act as blockchain validators without prior approval. Previously, banks needed explicit consent before handling digital assets, but this requirement has been removed.
Regulators emphasized that risk management should remain at traditional banking standards, but crypto will no longer be treated as a high-risk asset class. The OCC aims to establish a unified regulatory approach for banking operations, regardless of technology. ๐

๐ฅ Solana Moves to a Market-Based Emission Model
๐ณ Proposal SIMD-0228 to shift SOL emissions from a fixed schedule to a market-driven model has reached quorum (70%+ approval) and will be finalized in epoch 755 (~43 hours).
๐น The goal? Eliminate unnecessary issuance and stop overpaying for securityโoften compared to a "leaky bucket" problem.
๐น The network aims to become fully economically sustainable, running solely on transaction fees reflecting real demand.
๐น Currently, Solanaโs inflation is 4.6%, decreasing 15% per year until it reaches 1.5% (on chart โฌ๏ธ)
๐น Dynamic model: If staking falls below 33%, SOL issuance will rise to incentivize participation. If staked tokens are high, inflation will decrease, reducing excess security costs.
