📊 Crypto loves talking about TPS. ⚡ But users feel latency. ⏱️ Solana has cut its target slot time from 300ms to 250ms, making network updates and transaction inclusion faster without increasing overall capacity. Less flashy than a new TPS record. 💡 Probably more important for actual UX. 🚀 The next blockchain race might be about how fast a network feels, not just how much it can process.

Bitcoin is back above $80K. But the price isn’t the interesting part. 🟠 This week gave BTC plenty of reasons to sell off. Higher rates. Rising yields. Risk-off pressure. Instead, the market absorbed it and pushed higher. Strong markets don’t need perfect conditions. Sometimes they just need bad news to stop working.

Bitcoin miners found something more profitable than mining Bitcoin: selling power to AI. ⚡ CoinShares says at least 35 EH/s is already set to leave publicly listed miners as companies shift infrastructure toward AI and HPC. That’s an interesting twist. Bitcoin and AI aren’t just competing for investor attention anymore. They’re competing for electricity.
