The U.S. SEC has issued an innovation exemption, paving the way for secondary on-chain trading of tokenized stocks. The exemption is effective from 2026-09-17 to 2031-09-17 and applies to permitted market makers and liquidity pools on public, permissionless blockchains. Trading venues must restrict trading to verified and authorized participants, and the tokens must correspond to U.S. NMS stocks and carry shareholder rights. The exemption does not cover primary issuance, synthetic exposure, or products without underlying equity. Galaxy is researching the next steps for enabling secondary on-chain trading of GLXY.

The U.S. Senate did not advance the CLARITY Act. Although it was viewed as a bipartisan achievement, it is unlikely to become law in the short term. However, the industry’s prospects remain unaffected, and the regulatory environment remains favorable under the current administration. The SEC and CFTC are gradually clarifying how digital assets fit within existing frameworks, while the OCC, FDIC, and other agencies are also removing barriers and easing licensing requirements. Banks and asset managers worldwide are accelerating their digital asset initiatives. The CLARITY Act is only a starting point; over the next two years, the industry should build an evidence base and push for more comprehensive legislation.

Solana has reduced its block slot duration from 300ms to 250ms, increasing the slot frequency by approximately 17%. Computing and data resources per slot have decreased accordingly, while the network’s overall throughput remains unchanged. This is the third phase of the SIMD-0525 proposal. The block production window for validators across four consecutive slots has been compressed from 1.2 seconds to 1 second, and the estimated duration of an Epoch with 432,000 slots has been reduced from approximately 36 hours to approximately 30 hours. In the next phase, the slot duration will be shortened to 200ms. The mainnet launch time has not yet been determined, contingent on the block skip rate remaining stable.

He predicted that AI and robots will replace 90–95% of jobs, reduce costs, and potentially prompt countries to impose taxes. AI could also expose vulnerabilities in banks, while the crypto sector is likewise vulnerable to disruption. He previously shifted his Bitcoin holdings into AI and is now reinvesting in crypto assets through ETFs. He still regards Bitcoin as a lifelong asset and said that transforming into an AI data center was the best decision.

Previously, most traders would panic-sell when prices fell, but now the same pullbacks are instead viewed as buying opportunities. Therefore, if you are still expecting Bitcoin to fall sharply, it has become more difficult, and the situation for bears has also become more complicated.
