Solana’s on chain user growth has shown signs of slowing, with the number of wallets holding SOL declining from roughly 11.8 million to 11.3 million over the past two weeks. The drop suggests network activity has cooled, adding to concerns as the token continues to face resistance in the short term.
Meanwhile, Solana validators are considering a proposal to accelerate the network’s disinflation schedule by doubling the rate at which new SOL issuance declines. If approved, the change could reduce future token emissions by an estimated 18.9 million SOL over the next six years, potentially strengthening the asset’s long term supply dynamics even as near term price momentum remains under pressure.
Kaspersky researchers have uncovered a sophisticated malware campaign known as OkoBot, a modular threat built to steal sensitive information from unsuspecting users, particularly those involved in cryptocurrency. Instead of relying on a single attack method, the malware combines several techniques, including fake system recovery screens, keylogging, spyware, and carefully crafted social engineering tactics. Once installed, it quietly monitors victims, capturing login credentials and, more critically, cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases. With access to a wallet’s seed phrase, attackers can take complete control of the funds stored inside, making the attack especially dangerous for crypto holders.
The campaign has already affected users in countries including Brazil, Vietnam, Canada, Mexico, and Turkey. To spread the malware, the attackers disguise it as legitimate software and upload it to GitHub repositories, making the downloads appear trustworthy. Unsuspecting users who install these fake programs unknowingly give the malware access to their devices, allowing it to harvest passwords, wallet credentials, and other sensitive information. The discovery highlights how cybercriminals are increasingly using trusted platforms and convincing social engineering tactics to target the growing cryptocurrency community.

South Africa’s Revenue Service (SARS) has released draft guidance aimed at standardizing how crypto assets are taxed for an estimated 5.8–6 million users. Under the proposal, crypto assets are treated as intangible assets, with taxes applying when they are disposed of. Whether profits are taxed as capital gains or ordinary revenue depends on the holder’s intent, with tax rates ranging from 18% to 45%. Public comments remain open until August 31, 2026, as SARS also prepares to strengthen enforcement through a dedicated crypto audit unit.
This is exactly one of the core reasons Sigil One was built.
