What does Solana’s block capacity boost mean for users?
Solana may soon double its block capacity from 60 million to 100 million compute units, aiming to boost transaction throughput and ease network congestion.
Summary
New proposal suggests raising Solana block limits from 60 to 100 million CUs.Current limit increased recently from 48M to 60M CUs, improving fees and user experience.Larger block capacity could handle more transactions but may increase execution times.Upgrade aims to address past network congestion and prepare Solana for future demand.
The Solana (SOL) network could soon see a dramatic leap in block capacity, with a new proposal suggesting an increase to 100 million compute units per block, nearly doubling the current 60 million CU limit introduced earlier this week.
The proposal, submitted on GitHub by Lucas Bruder, CEO of Jito Labs, argues that Solana’s current traffic is no longer bottlenecked by execution times, making a larger block size both feasible and beneficial. According to Bruder, the original block limits were designed to ensure that most validators could keep up with the network. However, with optimizations and improved validator performance, the network is now capable of processing much larger blocks without degradation.
If approved, the new 100M CU limit would let Solana handle more transactions in each block, easing network congestion and improving performance. However, it could also increase block execution times, and larger blocks may cause unforseen issues in infrastructure beyond the validators.

What does Solana’s block capacity boost mean for users?
The proposal comes on the heels of a recent network upgrade that increased Solana’s block capacity by 20%, from 48 million to 60 million compute units per block.
Mert Mumtaz, CEO of infrastructure firm Helius, said that this 20% bump allows for “lower fees, given same demand, more expressiveness for devs, and better UX for users,” laying the groundwork for further capacity increases in the future.
The recent boosts follow challenges Solana faced earlier this year, when a surge in memecoin trading temporarily overwhelmed the network. The increase to 60 million CUs is expected to mitigate similar issues moving forward, while the proposed expansion to 100 million CUs could future-proof the network against even greater demand.

XRP: Long-Term Resistance Under PressureRepeated Tests and Momentum ShiftPotential Catalysts and Double-digit Targets
A chart posted by investor and self-proclaimed crypto millionaire Gordon (@AltcoinGordon) has caught the attention of market watchers because it shows that XRP/BTC is once again testing a trendline that has capped the pair for nearly eight years.

This resistance, drawn from a high point in 2017, has triggered lower highs since then, forming the upper boundary of a long-term descending triangle pattern. Now, that structure appears to be under threat.
XRP: Long-Term Resistance Under Pressure
The chart utilizes a 2-week timeframe and outlines a narrowing consolidation range that dates back to 2017. A breakout above the descending resistance currently located just below the 0.00003400 BTC level would mark a major technical event for XRP.
The asset has been in a multi-year downtrend versus Bitcoin, and recent price action indicates that the pair is approaching the upper trendline once again, currently sitting at around 0.00002993 BTC.
“This is not just a random breakout, but a generational wealth opportunity,” Gordon wrote. While such claims are bold, the technical structure he references is not easily dismissed. The formation, bound by a falling upper trendline and a gradually rising lower trendline, has been respected by the market since 2017. The asset’s price is currently near the apex of this triangle, suggesting that a decisive move is approaching.

Repeated Tests and Momentum Shift
The XRP/BTC pair briefly rallied into this resistance zone in 2018 and early 2025, but failed to close above it. However, XRP recently reached a new all-time high, and with its renewed strength, traders are watching to see whether this third major test results in a clean breakout. A close above 0.00003400 BTC with volume could confirm the move and shift long-term momentum in XRP’s favor.
Potential Catalysts and Double-digit Targets
Adding to the narrative is the fact that spot XRP ETFs have not yet been approved. Gordon referenced this point in his post, noting that such regulatory catalysts could fuel further upside. He believes the current phase is just the beginning, and spot ETF approval could start another phase of growth for XRP, amplifying price discovery and clearing technical barriers.
Gordon concluded, “Double-digits XRP is not a meme anymore, it’ll be a reality in 2025.” XRP has become undeniable in 2025, and even Bitcoin maximalists have set double-digit targets for the asset. The asset is currently on the verge of a breakout, and it’s only a matter of time before we see a move to these high targets.
