[New Solana network update scheduled for end of May]
Solana is preparing for the important update v1.18 to be launched on its mainnet beta version on May 27. This update will play a key role in solving the current network congestion problem. The congestion problem has been exacerbated recently by a spike in failure rates due to bot-managed memcoins transactions.

To address these challenges, the Solana development team partnered with infrastructure developer Anza to launch version 1.18.11 on the devnet on April 13. Currently, validators are testing version 1.18. They play a key role in network security and transaction confirmation and are crucial to the success of the new update. Feedback from this testing phase will help ensure the smooth launch of the upcoming mainnet beta.
In addition, to further alleviate congestion, developers launched version 1.17.31 on April 15. This version is designed to stabilize the network when transaction volume fluctuates, and has been recommended to MainnetBeta validators for immediate use.

Despite the technical progress, Solana has faced market volatility of late, losing more than 22% in value since the beginning of the month, reaching as low as $116 at one point. However, the price has recovered somewhat and is currently trading around $158.

[Binance’s main stablecoin is diversifying into other exchanges]
FDUSD has become the fourth largest stablecoin in the world by market capitalization and is almost exclusively traded on Binance. However, due to the lack of other application scenarios, FDUSD is relatively less well-known. Hong Kong publisher First Digital Labs is expanding the application scope of FDUSD through cooperation with Sui, and its CEO revealed this plan in an interview with Blockworks.

The history of FDUSD begins in 2023, when Binance began its search for a new major stablecoin after the SEC issued a Wells Notice to Paxos to stop minting BUSD. Thereafter, FDUSD took over BUSD's position for a short time, and for a time it was shared by TUSD. Binance has promoted users to convert BUSD balances to FDUSD and included FDUSD in its free trading promotions and new token issuance pools.

Currently, FDUSD trades are almost exclusively on Binance, largely thanks to Binance’s zero maker and taker fee promotions. However, with FDUSD set to become a native stablecoin on the Sui blockchain, First Digital Labs is looking to further diversify into other exchanges and use cases.
First Digital CEO Vincent Chok said the company is exploring the possibility of using FDUSD for cross-border payments and is in talks with multiple Layer2s, with plans to launch an FDUSD-based payroll partnership program by the end of this year. With Hong Kong about to implement a stablecoin issuer regime, First Digital is also communicating with local regulators.

[Bitcoin (BTC) ownership model undergoes major shift, new whales continue to accumulate]
As Bitcoin (BTC) prices stabilize at $66,500, on-chain dynamics show Bitcoin owners are actively trading. Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, noted that Bitcoin’s average period of inactivity has reached a 13-year high, suggesting that long-term Bitcoin holders are being transferred to newcomers, which may reshape the Bitcoin ownership structure.
Since the launch of Bitcoin spot ETFs, these products have purchased large amounts of Bitcoin in response to customer demand, resulting in significant market capital inflows. Additionally, whales holding between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoins have accumulated an additional 266,000 Bitcoins since the beginning of the year, accounting for approximately 1.24% of the total supply, according to Santiment data.

Market analyst Ali Martinez observed that despite active whale accumulation, Bitcoin’s short-term outlook remains unclear. Martinez noted that the TD Sequential indicator has issued a sell signal on the 12-hour chart, prompting investors to proceed with caution, especially if Bitcoin prices fall below key support at $65,500.
Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo believes that although Bitcoin’s currency inflation rate is lower than gold, Bitcoin’s market value may surpass gold in the long term, but this will take time. He pointed out: “From my perspective, Bitcoin will follow the expected development of its stock-to-flow ratio model in 5 to 10 years, but the global response to this will take time because of the custody infrastructure, regulations, trading tools and asset managers. Acceptance will not be immediate."

[Avalanche (AVAX) investors hint at imminent price increase of 20%]
Avalanche (AVAX) price shows growth potential, mainly due to increased holder confidence. Over the past three weeks, more than 4% of the circulating supply has been accumulated by long-term holders for more than a year, with 4.2 million AVAX added to wallets worth $161 million, bringing total holdings to 20.72 million AVAX. This reflects that even in the face of falling prices, investors are not affected by bearish sentiment and maintain optimistic expectations.

Market indicators also echoed the positive sentiment among investors, with the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) showing a bullish signal. Currently, Avalanche is trading close to breaking through the $40 mark. A break above the $44 resistance has the potential for price to rise towards the $48 to $50 range, which would be a significant move up from the current trendline.

If this trend materializes, Avalanche price could see growth of up to 20.31%, assuming continued investor support. However, if the $44 resistance fails to break, AVAX could fall back to the $33 support. A breakdown of this support will invalidate the bullish outlook and a further dip towards $29 or $27 is possible.

[Pendle price hits all-time high above $7.5, what’s behind the rebound? 】
PENDLE, the native cryptocurrency of the Pendle protocol, recently attempted to break above $7.0 and hit a new all-time high. PENDLE’s trading volume has surged to $138 million in the past 24 hours and the price is currently up 6.20% to $6.44, giving it a market capitalization of $1.539 billion.

PENDLE has continued to rise in price since the start of 2024, with a year-to-date return of nearly 600%. However, since early April, PENDLE has maintained a trading range between $5 and $7.5.

Currently, the Pendle token is worth $6.51, with a 30-day return of 90.85% and a year-to-date return of 448.10%. The Moving Average Convergence/Divergence indicator (MACD) shows declining selling pressure, and the 1-day moving average data points to a bullish trend, suggesting good short-term prospects.
If Pendle price can break above the key resistance at $7, the bull market could regain dominance, with a retest of the all-time high of $7.52 expected this week. If it can stabilize at this level, Pendle could reach higher resistance at $8.5 by the end of the month.
On the other hand, if the trend reverses, the price could retest support at $5.73, and continued bearish pressure could lead to a further decline to the lows of $4.785.

[What’s behind the 25% increase in BONK price? Key levels worth paying attention to]
After experiencing a major price correction in early April, Solana-based meme coin BONK has shown a strong recovery of late, rising more than 25% in price in a week and currently trading at $0.00002074, with a market capitalization of $1.35 billion.

The main driver of the BONK price increase is the proposal to burn massive fiscal reserves of up to 280 billion tokens. This proposal was initiated by BONK DAO and proposes to burn approximately 278.3 billion BONK from its reserves, equivalent to the total amount of BONK generated by BONK DAO since its establishment in late 2023 through its revenue sharing arrangement with BONKBot. BONKBot is a Telegram trading bot on Solana that charges a 1% fee for trading, with 10% of the proceeds going to the BONK DAO.
This proposal aroused enthusiastic responses in the Bonk community and is regarded as a positive step to promote market stability and growth. As the proposal awaited approval, anticipation sparked a buying frenzy, driving Bonk prices higher.

In terms of technical indicators, Bonk’s pivot point analysis shows that the current price is $0.000022, a key level for observing market trends and potential turning points. Immediate resistance is at $0.000025, followed by $0.000027 and $0.000029, which are key points where selling pressure may intensify. Without significant buying, these resistance points could prevent further price gains.
As for support levels, Bonk finds initial support at $0.000018, with stronger support at $0.000015 and $0.000013. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 78, indicating that the asset may be overbought. Additionally, the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $0.000017 shows support for the long-term uptrend, although the overbought status shown by the RSI should be a cause for concern.

[Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) enters the Web3 frontier]
As a pioneer in the integration of sports and technology, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is exploring the tokenization of its market assets and entering a new generation of fan interaction. The initiative was highlighted at Paris Blockchain Week, with attendees including PSG’s head of Web3 Pär Helgosson, Chiliz CEO Alexandre Dreyfus, and legendary football star and tech entrepreneur Blaise Matuidi.

PSG is tokenizing ticketing, stadium seating and fan data, using blockchain technology to enhance fan interaction and redefine the traditional sports experience. Helgosson says now is the time to act strategically, with all the ingredients for innovation in place.
PSG's cooperation with Chiliz, which is well-known for its sports blockchain services, is an important step in realizing its Web3 ambitions. It will build PSG into a core node on the Chiliz chain, promote the development of fan tokens, and cultivate a self-supporting digital economy with fans as the core. .

PSG has been at the forefront of the digitization of sport, starting with the launch of its official fan token in 2019 in partnership with Socios.com. Fan Tokens become the key to global fan engagement, especially those far away from the stadium.
Dreyfus believes that compared to the single collectibility of NFT, tradable fan tokens are currently more in line with market demand and more conducive to continued fan interaction.

Blaise Matuidi started from his technology investment experience and emphasized the significant impact of Web3 on the sports industry. Through his investment fund, Origins, he supports blockchain projects that enhance connections between athletes and fans.
PSG’s Web3 strategy will continue to push the club to the forefront of innovation, setting new standards for the integration of sport and technology. As these strategies advance, PSG is expected to further solidify its leadership position in the sports technology industry and be followed by other clubs.

[Vitalik Buterin shares his thoughts on the privacy-focused ZCash project]
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed an innovative funding strategy for privacy-focused ZCash. He proposed that ZCash should be technologically conservative, persistent in privacy protection, and experimental in economic strategies. Buterin imagines a revolving funding model combined with off-chain governance, including possible annual issuances or an anonymous voting system for decision-making, all based on the principles of decentralized governance.

ZCash uses zk-SNARK technology to protect user privacy, but this technology requires high computing requirements and currently only supports computer wallets. The implementation of mobile wallets depends on the progress of the lightweight zk-SNARK protocol. In situations where a high degree of privacy is required, such as high-value transactions or transactions in politically unstable areas, users may choose transaction methods that enhance privacy protection.

To promote confidential transactions, ZCash needs to emphasize the benefits of privacy protection and create incentives to encourage its use. As a privacy pioneer, ZCash plays an important role in driving the shift toward more secure and private transactions. With visionary contributors like Buterin, ZCash has the potential to redefine the concept of economic privacy in the future.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr proposes to put the 2024 US budget on the blockchain]
U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has proposed making the 2024 national budget public on the blockchain to increase transparency. He told a rally in Michigan that this would allow American citizens to see the details of any budget item at any time, such as the $16,000 cost of a toilet seat.

Kennedy believes this approach will help stamp out corruption, and has been viewed positively by some in the cryptocurrency community. One social media user said it would be a transformative move, while another suggested public accounting might be the best use case for blockchain technology.
However, some critics pointed out that Kennedy may use this proposal to promote the central bank digital currency (CBDC) agenda. Social media user Jeremiah Harding believes that with governments tracking all budget transactions, the implementation of a monetary unit like a CBDC seems inevitable.

It is worth mentioning that Kennedy is a staunch supporter of decentralized technology and has publicly expressed concerns about the launch of CBDC in the United States, believing it to be a disaster for human and civil rights. He is also one of the few presidential candidates to openly support Bitcoin, announcing at the Bitcoin 2023 conference last year that his campaign would accept Bitcoin donations and revealing that he had purchased Bitcoin.
