$BTC ( ▲ 0.49% ) crashed hard over the weekend. Rate-cut expectations are now reversing sharply after Kevin Warsh’s latest speech 🙏

Warsh appears firmly against relaxing the inflation target. Despite Trump’s push for lower rates, Warsh’s stance sounds much closer to Powell’s approach than many expected.

Right after his short speech, nearly $2.5 trillion was wiped from financial markets across gold, silver, stocks, and crypto 😵‍💫

A crypto dip is happening right now?

A lot of people are asking the same question: is this a good entry point or just a trap before a deeper drop? In this article, we’ll break down the actual numbers, no moon predictions, just what is really going on and what you can do about it 👇

A rug pull just rocked Solana after a fake coin called Trump Digital Gold (GOLD) wiped out 98% of its value in just a few hours.

Investors got tempted by a verified account that Donald Trump himself was following, but the end result was the same old scam story.

1/ The Crash & The $330K Cash-Out

The token launched on August 29, and saw an immediate frenzy before collapsing entirely. Early in the day, the token’s market cap surged past $50 million. Fast forward a few hours, and it crashed down to ~$770,000.

Blockchain tracking firm Lookonchain spotted the red flags right from the start. The developer held 600 million GOLD tokens, while 15 brand-new wallets bought another 224.5 million GOLD for just $18,657.

→ Combined, the developer and these 15 wallets controlled 82.45% of the total token supply.

Just 30 minutes after buying, those exact 15 wallets sold everything for 3,178 SOL (worth about $330,000 at ~$104 per SOL). That gave the insiders a clean profit of nearly $312,000, leaving everyday buyers holding worthless bags.

2/ What Made People Trust This Token in the First Place?

A mix of social proof and clever web tricks:

Crypto researcher Rune pointed out that the fake website changed its domain registration information on the exact same day, and its payment system was shut down right after the pump.

3/ Family Warnings & The Aftermath

No one in the Trump family ever confirmed or backed this token.

Lookonchain confirmed that @realtrumpcoins1 deleted all posts related to $GOLD shortly after the dump. This fits the pattern of high-profile political accounts getting hacked to push fake Solana memecoins.

Solana just wrapped up its first-ever on-chain governance vote, and it was an absolute cliffhanger! Through the new Solana Governance Proposal (SGP) system, validators and delegators directly decided the network's future.

Out of 3 major proposals on the ballot, all eyes were on SGP-0002, which aims to reduce new SOL issuance. The vote passed by the narrowest margin imaginable after giant validators unexpectedly flipped their stances in the final hour!

1/ SGP-0002 Passes: Cutting SOL Inflation in Half

Designed by the Helius engineering team (based on SIMD-550), SGP-0002 speeds up the rate at which SOL’s issuance decreases, ramping up the annual reduction from 15% to 30%.

According to 21Shares, this change will cut SOL issuance by roughly 18.9 million SOL over the next 6 years, significantly easing supply dilution for long-term holders.

It doesn't change Solana's long-term target inflation rate of 1.5%, but it speeds up the timeline from 5.7 years down to just 2.8 years → cutting the wait time in half!

So what’s the trade-off? Staking APY will take a direct hit. Yields will drop from the current ~5.25% down to 4.34% in year one, 3% in year two, and 2.25% by year three.

2/ How Kraken & Galaxy Saved the Vote

Because lower issuance hurts validator revenue (which currently gets ~3.78% of its 5.25% yield from protocol inflation), SGP-0002 faced massive pushback. For most of the voting period, it was failing.

With just 70 minutes left, the "YES" camp was still 58 million SOL short of the required 2/3 (66.67%) supermajority. Then came the last-minute plot twist:

→ Helius CEO Mert Mumtaz revealed his team placed roughly 500 phone calls in the final hours to rally support and pull off this wild comeback.

3/ A Constitution Passes, A Fee Split Fails

While SGP-0002 stole the show, the other two proposals saw completely different outcomes:

It would have boosted daily burned SOL from ~650 SOL/day to 7,500–9,000 SOL/day (a 12–14x jump). However, it fell almost 13 percentage points short of the required 66.67% mark.

4/ Macro Wind at Solana’s Back

This historic vote comes right as the broader market is heating up. Bitcoin surged past $81,000, pulling $SOL ( ▼ 1.97% ) back above the $100 level for the first time in over six months.

Meanwhile, institutional demand in the U.S. remains booming. U.S.-listed Solana ETFs have pulled in over $1.7 billion in total inflows since launch with almost zero outflow days.

Notably, the Bitwise Solana ETF just became the first Solana ETF to cross $1 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM)!
