ME News, September 1 (UTC+8) — Anza announced that it is gradually removing floating-point operations from Solana’s core protocol. The first improvement, SIMD-0391, was activated on Mainnet Beta in epoch 1026, replacing floating-point operations with fixed-point operations in the Stake Program’s and validator clients’ warm-up and cooldown logic. The second improvement, SIMD-0607, has been proposed and entered review, targeting the runtime itself to remove floating-point operations from inflation rewards and rent calculation paths. Anza stated that floating-point operations on different hardware, validator clients, and compilers may produce different rounding results, potentially leading to consensus divergence and network liveness risks. The two improvements will eliminate the related risks through standardized fixed-point operations, and floating-point operations in other paths will continue to be addressed.(

ME News, September 1 (UTC+8) — U.S. President Trump said U.S. GDP growth could reach 14%, 15%, 16% or even 20%, and that even if the economy achieved such rapid growth, it should not be a reason for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. He said, “The success of growth will not cause inflation,” and called for the United States to have “the lowest interest rates in the world.” The U.S. PCE price index rose 3.7% year-on-year in July, still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% inflation target, while the market currently generally expects the FOMC may raise interest rates in September. Data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis show that since 1947, U.S. real GDP quarter-on-quarter annualized growth has reached or exceeded 20% only once: the 34.9% rebound in the third quarter of 2020 after pandemic lockdowns ended. U.S. real GDP in the second quarter of 2026 G

Solana’s key on-chain metrics hit all-time highs this week: the seven-day average transaction fees, denominated in SOL, reached nearly 9,200 SOL, up more than 80% from three months ago; the seven-day average of non-vote transactions reached 191 million, compared with 88 million during the same period last year. Jito validators averaged 2,073 SOL in daily fees, up 26% month over month. The SGP-0002 dual-deflation proposal passed with 67.001% approval and 60.7% voter turnout, setting a new record for governance participation; the proposal will raise the annual inflation reduction rate from 15% to 30%, with approximately 18.9 million fewer SOL expected to be issued over the next six years.

AIMPACT News, May 3 (UTC+8) — Nvidia has added another piece to its artificial intelligence empire, with its corporate venture capital arm NVentures investing in Legora, reportedly marking its first investment in the legal AI sector. Legora is a Swedish-founded legal technology startup that uses AI to help lawyers improve their efficiency and competes with U.S. company Harvey. With Atlassian and other new investors participating, NVentures joined Legora’s shareholder base in its $50 million Series D extension. This round came just one month after the company completed its $550 million Series D financing last month. During this period, Legora, which was once selected for Y

ME News, May 3 (UTC+8), ME News, May 3 (UTC+8), BlackRock submitted a comment letter to the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), opposing several reserve asset restrictions proposed by the agency in the draft implementing rules for the GENIUS Act. BlackRock urged the OCC not to impose quantitative limits on tokenized reserve assets; the agency had previously proposed a possible cap of 20%. BlackRock said such a restriction was “unrelated” to the OCC’s objectives, arguing that the risk profile depends on credit quality, duration, and liquidity, “rather than whether the assets are held or transferred on a distributed ledger.” BlackRock also urged the OCC to explicitly confirm whether ETFs that invest solely in eligible reserve assets, such as Treasury ETFs, qualify as reserves under Section 4 of the GENIUS Act.

ME News reported on May 3 (UTC+8) that 10x Research founder Markus Thielen posted on X, stating that Bitcoin has currently risen above its 7-day and 30-day moving averages, with both short- and medium-term trends remaining bullish. Its gain over the past week reached 1.1%. Continued institutional buying and news that major corporate treasuries are continuing to increase their Bitcoin holdings have further boosted market confidence, but influenced by the historical pattern of “selling on the news,” the market subsequently entered a brief consolidation. Markus Thielen believes that, with Bitcoin dominance remaining above 60%, some altcoins are quietly forming bottoms driven by fundamental catalysts, especially privacy coins and

U.S. stocks closed lower on September 1, with the Dow down 0.7%, the S&P 500 down 0.33%, and the Nasdaq down 0.12%.

ME News reported that on May 3 (UTC+8), Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV) proposed Draft General Resolution No. 1137, which would improve its regulations on RWA tokenization and expand their scope, allowing more types of financial instruments to operate using distributed ledger technology in the country. Before the announcement, the existing legal framework only allowed specific financial instruments to be digitally represented. The proposed resolution removes this restriction, allowing any closed-end mutual fund with authorization for an automatic public offering to migrate to a digital asset format. In addition, the resolution extends the regulatory sandbox period through December 31, 2027. This controlled testing environment is crucial for fintech companies, enabling them to test new business models related to digital currencies and Bitcoin technology without being fully constrained by traditional regulatory frameworks, thereby allowing regulators to better understand developments in the digital-asset sector.

ME News, August 31 (UTC+8) — U.S. stocks barely maintained their upward trend amid volatility in August, but analysts warned that with the S&P 500 Index stalling at high levels, rising U.S. Treasury yields and disagreements over Nvidia’s valuation have pushed the market to a critical juncture. Despite shrinking trading volume and a narrowing index trading range, U.S. stocks still barely maintained their upward trend in August. After breaking above the record high of 7,800 points two weeks ago, the S&P 500 Index is currently trading within less than 2% of its peak. However, investors should not be misled by this apparent “calm.” Historical experience shows that September is often the worst-performing month for U.S. stocks. In 2026, an election year, and against the backdrop of strong prior stock-market performance, seasonal factors may change. Veteran market commentator Michael Santoli said that what truly matt
