Samsung Wallet has launched USDC support on Solana, bringing stablecoin payments to 82 million compatible Galaxy devices.
Eligible U.S. users can now buy, hold, send and receive USDC directly through Samsung Wallet's Stablecoin Account.
The integration could accelerate USDC adoption and increase Solana network activity, potentially benefiting SOL through greater ecosystem usage.
Anza posted an urgent notice on X urging Solana mainnet-beta validators to upgrade to Agave 4.4.1; validators that miss the patch are scheduled to be forked from mainnet-beta at epoch 1079. The release applies a minimum loaded-data amount limit to loader-v3 ProgramData accounts. The fork timing is approximately Nov. 6 at 21:30 Beijing time, according to the source. The focus is on upgrade execution and validator participation, making this an infrastructure-risk event rather than a cosmetic software update.
Bitcoin fell below $76,000 as a broad AI-stock selloff spread across financial markets, dragging cryptocurrencies and crypto-related stocks lower.
The Nasdaq dropped nearly 6%, crypto miners plunged 15%-20%, and more than $1 billion in crypto derivatives positions were liquidated, mostly bullish bets.
Despite the sharp selloff, crypto's relative resilience compared with AI-linked stocks could support longer-term optimism, although continued weakness in AI sentiment may pressure digital assets.
Multiliquid has launched an institutional Treasury product offering continuous 3-month US T-Bill-linked yields with instant 24/7 redemptions for corporate cash balances.
The product offers indicative annualized yields of up to 3.5%, backed by tokenized government money market funds, and is live on Ethereum and Solana.
The launch could accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets and increase demand for on-chain Treasury products.
How investors stake ETH and SOL can significantly change how much of their staking rewards they ultimately keep, with exchanges retaining up to 35% and self-custody providers typically taking 5% to 15%.
Staking ETP sponsors retain approximately 5% to 25% of rewards, while ETP shares offer T+1 settlement compared with potentially weeks of unstaking delays for directly held tokens.
Growing awareness of reward deductions, custody risks and liquidity differences could increase demand for staking ETPs and put pressure on providers charging higher fees.
Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies extended their gains as a broad risk-asset rally and a $730 million crypto liquidation wave fueled a short squeeze, pushing total crypto market capitalization to $2.66 trillion.
Short liquidations surged to $448 million from $179 million a day earlier, while U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded $75 million and $53 million in net inflows, respectively.
Continued short covering and renewed ETF demand could support further crypto gains, although mixed performance across major altcoins may limit the breadth of the rally.
FivebalanceUSA.LLC has launched its Scam Stomper token on the Solana blockchain through Pump.fun. The announcement provides no financial terms, quantified business impact or evidence of token adoption, while the company's existing consumer apps remain its disclosed operating products. The launch could generate additional attention for Solana's token-launch ecosystem, but its market impact remains uncertain without further adoption or trading data.
FivebalanceUSA has launched its Scam Stomper meme token on Solana through Pump.fun, claiming to be the platform's first token issued by a verifiably registered and credentialed company. The company says it holds a registered U.S. trademark, active SAM.gov registration and SBA registration, while operating two live consumer applications. The launch could attract attention to Solana's meme-token ecosystem by demonstrating an alternative to anonymous token issuance, although broader adoption remains uncertain.
Bitcoin has held above $80,000 despite recent volatility, but weak spot demand and a lack of fresh leveraged positioning suggest the recovery may be a short-covering rally rather than a sustainable uptrend.
Bitcoin futures open interest remains largely unchanged at $53.40 billion, while US spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted just $74 million on Wednesday following more than $400 million in outflows over the previous two trading sessions.
With $300 million in BTC short liquidations driving much of the recent rebound and Coinbase Premium remaining negative, Bitcoin could face renewed downside pressure unless stronger spot buying emerges.
Global markets rallied as investors assessed the Democratic midterm election victory, with US and European equities advancing, the dollar weakening, and cryptocurrencies posting strong gains.
Bitcoin climbed 2.46% to $80,449, Ethereum gained 4.04% to $2,418, and Solana advanced 3.60% to $96.86, while gold rose 1.59% and bond yields eased across major regions.
Improving risk appetite and easing geopolitical concerns could support further gains across cryptocurrencies and broader risk assets, although US payrolls data and the Bank of England's expected rate hike remain key uncertainties.
ZetaChain has proposed permanently shutting down block production on its Layer 1 network on December 9 and migrating native ZETA tokens 1:1 to Solana as SPL tokens.
The proposal also includes launching ZetaLabs, a privacy-focused AI application for financial markets, and burning approximately 55 million ZETA allocated for validator rewards throughout 2027.
If approved, the transition could reshape ZETA's utility, token supply, and ecosystem exposure through Solana.

Bitcoin recovered above $80,000 on Thursday after a midterm-driven selloff, as improving risk sentiment following the Democrats' congressional sweep lifted crypto and broader markets. U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted about $75 million on Wednesday and Ether ETFs took in $53 million, while ETH and SOL each gained nearly 4%; Democrats have also indicated opposition to the CLARITY Act. Renewed ETF demand and easing geopolitical concerns could support further crypto gains, although uncertainty over U.S. crypto legislation may limit momentum.
Bitcoin held above $80,000 as crypto markets rebounded following Democratic victories in both houses of Congress, with Zcash surging nearly 12% to lead major tokens. BTC traded around $80,484, up 5.7% in 24 hours, while ETH gained 8% and ZEC climbed 11.7% with $1.2 billion in daily trading volume.
CoW Protocol is targeting a Q4 2026 production deployment on Solana, marking its first expansion beyond EVM-compatible networks.
The planned integration would open a new market for the COW token ecosystem, although the team expects revenue contributions from new chains to build gradually over several quarters.
Solana expansion could increase COW adoption and ecosystem utility, but meaningful revenue growth may take time to materialize.
Bitcoin rebounded above $80,000, recovering its losses from the Binance hack as markets absorbed the U.S. midterm election results with limited disruption.
BTC climbed 3.5% to $80,500, while ETH gained nearly 6% to $2,433; crypto futures volume increased 27%, but open interest rose just 3%, suggesting limited new leverage.
Improved institutional custody infrastructure and continued market resilience could support Bitcoin's recovery, although holding the $76,000–$78,000 support zone and sustaining momentum above $80,000 remain key tests.
Election-linked crypto tokens $TRUMP and $WLFI plunged after the US midterms, while Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana remained stable, highlighting growing divergence across the crypto market.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan described the decoupling as evidence of crypto market maturity, noting that Bitcoin's recent average drawdowns have narrowed to around 50% from historical peak drawdowns approaching 80%.
If institutional investors increasingly evaluate crypto assets on their fundamentals, market-wide correlations could weaken further and create greater divergence between speculative tokens and major cryptocurrencies.
Cryptocurrencies rallied following the U.S. midterm election results, with total crypto market capitalization reaching $2.62 trillion and Bitcoin touching $78,696 as electoral uncertainty eased.
Bitcoin and Ethereum each gained 1.55% overnight, while Zcash surged 9.2%; however, U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded $116 million and $85 million in net outflows, respectively.
The relief rally could extend if political uncertainty continues fading, but concerns about resistance to crypto-friendly policies and persistent ETF outflows may limit further upside.
Bitcoin trades near $78,330 and Ethereum around $2,317 as US midterm election results bring future cryptocurrency regulation and the CLARITY Act back into focus. Bitcoin and Ethereum gained 1.87% and 2.41% over 24 hours, but US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $399 million in outflows while Strategy purchased another 811 BTC worth $65.5 million. Election uncertainty, institutional outflows and upcoming US employment data could intensify crypto volatility, with Bitcoin's $76,000–$79,000 range remaining critical for near-term direction.
Global markets rallied after Democrats swept both chambers of the U.S. Congress, with U.S. stock futures surging and European equities posting strong gains.
Gold jumped 2.83%, Bitcoin gained 1.83%, and the U.S. Dollar Index declined 0.44%, while crude oil prices retreated amid expectations of potential U.S. policy changes toward Iran.
The political shift could intensify cross-asset volatility as investors reassess the potential implications for U.S. policy, currencies, commodities and risk assets.
Global asset manager Schroders is bringing its emerging markets bond investment strategy onto the Solana blockchain through a tokenized fund structure, marking its debut on the network.
The initiative is being developed with Centrifuge, with investors holding tokenized shares in a feeder fund rather than directly owning shares in Schroders' underlying fund.
The move could strengthen Solana's position in institutional tokenized real-world assets as major asset managers expand blockchain-based investment products beyond cash and government securities.
Global markets rallied as Democrats swept both chambers of the U.S. Congress, with Wall Street futures and European equities posting strong gains while gold and cryptocurrencies advanced. The S&P 500 gained 1.06%, the Dow rose 1.50%, gold jumped 2.83%, and Bitcoin climbed 1.83% to $78,421, while the Dollar Index fell 0.44%. Shifting expectations around U.S. policy could sustain volatility across equities, commodities, currencies, and crypto markets.
Democrats are projected to take control of both chambers of Congress, sending Trump-linked DJT shares and TRUMP Coin lower while broader stocks and cryptocurrencies rally.
DJT fell as much as 7.2% premarket and TRUMP Coin dropped 7.6% over 24 hours below $1.50, while Bitcoin climbed above $78,000 and SPY, DIA and QQQ gained more than 1%.
The political shift could continue pressuring Trump-associated assets while potentially supporting broader equities and cryptocurrency markets as investors reassess the policy outlook.
Cryptocurrencies rebounded on Wednesday alongside U.S. stocks after Democrats' midterm wins triggered overnight losses amid concerns about the future pace of U.S. crypto deregulation.
Bitcoin recovered from a six-week low to gain 0.7% at $78,354, while Ether rose 1.4% to $2,323 as U.S. index futures advanced 0.3%.
However, recent security breaches, ETF outflows and uncertainty over crypto legislation could continue to pressure sentiment and limit the recovery.
The Solana Foundation has introduced Microscope, an open-source monitoring approach designed to help teams oversee complex on-chain operations and detect unusual activity.
The toolkit helps operators inspect instructions, transactions and alerts, supporting monitoring of treasury movements, contract administration and operational behaviour.
Wider adoption could strengthen institutional confidence in Solana infrastructure, although monitoring does not prevent attacks or replace security audits and preventive controls.
Bitcoin traded near $76,800 as heavy spot ETF outflows, shrinking stablecoin supply and US midterm election uncertainty weighed on crypto market sentiment.
US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw more than $1 billion in combined outflows across October 30 and November 2, while stablecoin market value fell $5.55 billion to $296.01 billion between October 27 and November 3.
Continued institutional withdrawals and tighter liquidity could pressure Bitcoin, while renewed inflows may support a recovery.
Bitcoin briefly plunged to approximately $75,700 as early U.S. midterm results raised the prospect of a Democratic sweep, before recovering to around $76,700 during Asian trading.
The selloff followed a drop of more than $2,000 from near $78,000, while S&P 500 futures fell 1.3% and Nasdaq 100 futures slid 2.3%; Bitcoin was little changed over 24 hours.
Uncertainty over potential regulatory scrutiny and the CLARITY Act could keep crypto markets volatile as election results are finalized.
Binance disclosed a major security breach in which attackers compromised its internal wallet-signing infrastructure and impacted approximately $6.34 billion in digital assets.
The exchange said $2.85 billion had been frozen or intercepted, and that 98% of the affected funds had been replenished as of October 31, with Binance committing to absorb the financial impact.
The incident could intensify scrutiny of centralized-exchange security and weigh on crypto sentiment, although the recovery measures may help limit concerns about user losses.
The hacker linked to the reported $6.3 billion Binance exploit is continuing to launder stolen SOL into BTC through THORChain, extending the movement of illicit funds across blockchain networks. The funds were dispersed across multiple wallets, converted from SOL into USDC, bridged to Ethereum to purchase ETH, and subsequently swapped into BTC via THORChain. Continued conversion of stolen funds into BTC could intensify selling pressure on SOL and raise concerns about cross-chain laundering risks and BTC exposure to illicit flows.
THORChain’s RUNE token surged approximately 15% in 24 hours as the protocol restored most cross-chain swaps following a weekend security-related trading halt. Trading and transaction signing resumed across 10 of 13 external networks, while BNB Smart Chain, Cosmos Hub and Solana remained restricted. The partial recovery could support further RUNE momentum, although unresolved network restrictions and the underlying refund vulnerability may continue to pressure confidence.
