Crypto card spending grew 500% since September 2024 to approximately $600 million monthly. Visa processes 90% of these transactions, reaching 97% in March. This shift indicates stablecoins are moving from wallets to everyday retail spending. Visa relies on crypto-native infrastructure partnerships rather than traditional banks. The Bridge card program will expand through 2026, while partners like Wirex use Visa Direct for payouts.

New products like the Jupiter Solana-based card offer 4% to 10% stablecoin cashback. Jupiter reported 660% volume growth in April.

Monero will launch the FCMP++ and Carrot beta stressnet on May 6. The network will hard fork from the testnet at block 2,997,100. This upgrade replaces the 1-of-16 ring signature model with full-chain membership proofs. This allows proof of ownership across 150 million outputs.

The release includes v0.19.0.0-beta.1.0 for daemon, CLI, RPC, and GUI. Users must use the testnet flag and daemon port 28081. Carrot introduces addressing improvements with backward compatibility.

Database migration may take several hours. Multisig, cold wallets, and hardware wallet support are currently unavailable. The stressnet has a smaller anonymity set than the mainnet, which may expose node IP addresses to other participants. This follows two years of development work on the combined integration.

Volumul tranzacțiilor on-chain a scăzut timp de nouă săptămâni consecutive și se află cu 32% sub maximele recente. Volumul actual de tranzacționare este de $22 miliarde, care reprezintă 20% din vârfurile istorice.

SOL se tranzacționează aproape de $84 cu suport la $83.45, $82.50 și $81.40. Rezistența este la $85.50 și $87. O spargere sub $81.40 ar putea împinge prețurile spre $77. Factorii macroeconomici includ o inflație PCE de 3.5% și petrolul peste $100. Rezerva Federală sugerează că nu vor fi reduceri de dobândă în acest an. Indicatorii tehnici reflectă un model din 2022, unde o cădere în intervalul de $50 a precedat o creștere majoră. SOL rămâne într-un canal de consolidare între $77 și $90.

Silence Laboratories has launched a digital asset vault designed to withstand future quantum computer attacks. The system integrates the NIST 2024 ML-DSA post-quantum digital signature standard with Multi-Party Computation - MPC - systems. This allows institutions to improve security without needing to overhaul their current setup.

The infrastructure uses Google Cloud Confidential Computing and Trusted Execution Environments to protect key-share operations at the hardware level. This layered approach helps secure assets against cloud and host system risks. Partners like Bitgo, EigenLayer, Zengo, and Infosys are among those testing the technology. This model offers a way for firms to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography while keeping the operational benefits of distributed control.
