Solana CME futures hit a record 1.75 million daily contracts, signaling strong institutional interest and rising mainstream adoption potential.
BIS promotes a unified ledger system and criticizes stablecoins as unstable monetary instruments, pushing for state-backed digital infrastructure.
Ethereum’s EIP-7782 proposes reducing slot time to 6 seconds, aiming to boost Layer 1 throughput and lower transaction costs.
SOLANA CME FUTURES VOLUME HITS ATH
According to Glassnode, Solana ($SOL) futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) hit an all-time high daily trading volume of 1.75 million contracts.
Meanwhile, SOL’s spot price has rebounded above $145, reflecting strong confidence in both fundamentals and market liquidity.
Since launching on CME in March 2025, Solana futures have seen consistent growth. The chain continues to gain momentum across key sectors like DePIN, on-chain gaming, DeFi, and meme token trading, thanks to its high throughput and low transaction fees.
Analysis
This surge in institutional futures volume suggests Solana is evolving from a speculative asset to a mainstream, institutional-grade financial instrument.
If volume and price stability hold, SOL may soon attract ETF products and custody-level capital, further strengthening its market position.
BIS PUSHES UNIFIED LEDGER, CRITICIZES STABLECOINS
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) stated in its annual report that stablecoins fall short on core monetary attributes like uniformity, elasticity, and integrity, making them unsuitable as foundational elements of public payment systems.
BIS Chief Economist Hyun Song Shin compared them to “19th-century private banknotes,” warning of systemic risks during confidence crises.
Instead, the BIS is advancing the concept of a “Unified Ledger”, aiming to tokenize central bank reserves, commercial deposits, and government bonds onto a single platform for instant, secure, and transparent settlements.
Pilot programs, including Project Agorá, are already underway.
Analysis
This underscores a growing regulatory preference for state-controlled digital finance infrastructure. While stablecoins won’t disappear, they may be increasingly pushed to the sidelines as transitional tools.
Web3 developers should closely track this shift to align with future compliance and infrastructure standards.
ETHEREUM PROPOSES 6S SLOT TIME IN EIP-7782
Ethereum core developer Barnabé Monnot has introduced EIP-7782, a proposal to halve Ethereum’s slot time from 12 seconds to 6 seconds.
The change aims to improve throughput, lower latency, and reduce gas fees. If accepted, the upgrade will be part of the Glamsterdam hard fork, tentatively scheduled for 2026.
The proposal would double Ethereum’s block production rate and compress the three-phase consensus process into just 6 seconds. While still in early planning, Glamsterdam is expected to focus on Layer 1 performance optimization and lower transaction costs.
Analysis
If implemented, EIP-7782 could become a landmark step in Ethereum’s scaling roadmap, following The Merge and proto-danksharding.
While the technical potential is significant, it also raises concerns about node workload, decentralization, and network stability. Broad community consensus and robust engineering will be key to its success.
