🇸🇻 IMF urges El Salvador to limit Bitcoin experimentation, still saying Nayib Bukele's bet on Bitcoin is a bad idea.
"What we have recommended is narrowing the scope of the Bitcoin Act, strengthening the regulatory framework and oversight of the Bitcoin ecosystem, and limiting public sector exposure to Bitcoin."
The IMF had already warned in 2021 that El Salvador's decision to make Bitcoin legal in the country raised "a number of macroeconomic, financial and legal issues."

Marinade Finance, one of Solana’s original staking providers, has found itself in hot water with validator operators.
Validators argue that Marinade’s new Stake Auction Marketplace (SAM) harms the staking landscape, allowing malicious actors to thrive at the expense of honest validators.
Beyond losing stake in the network, chagrined validators suggest that, left unchecked, the SAM model is a threat to decentralization and Solana’s scalability moving forward.
Marinade has dismissed these accusations. Countering claims of apathetic negligence, Marinade argues those who criticize the new system do so out of spite.
Is this a case of willful blindness, or are validators looking for a scapegoat to blame for their own shortcomings?
WHY ARE VALIDATORS UPSET?
Once heralded as a powerful new model that would push staking APY to new heights, the SAM has drawn scorn and skepticism from certain validators. Marinade’s SAM enables validators to bid on network stake, with winners securing stake and passing on elevated rewards to delegators.
To win auctions, validators competitively bid on network stake. However, surging demand for stake has driven validators to bid at potentially unsustainable levels. In previous epochs, winning validators needed to yield over 10% APY to win auctions, a rate considered impossible to achieve through native staking alone.
This has led certain operators to speculate on how these validators can afford such high bids. Suggesting that such yield can only be achieved through malicious activities, like sandwich attacks, private mempools, and off-chain deals, some validators argue that Marinade is turning a blind eye to dishonest validators.
Distressed validators have created analytics dashboards to express their frustrations and support their claims. Hanabi’s ‘Marinade Stake Selling’ dashboard highlights that a number of validators flagged for malicious activity have won stake through the SAM.
Responding to accusations levied by third-party dashboard creators, Marinade CEO Michael Repetny argues “Hanabi lacks any methodology, they only copy labels from other Stakewiz dashboard to call it a day.”
Adding further context to the claims of disgruntled operators, Repetny affirms “Hanabi lost 1M SOL from Marinade so it’s understandable he fights the new system.”
Concerned validators have taken to Marinade’s Discord server to air their grievances. Operators have claimed that, through the SAM, over 2.7M SOL has been staked to questionable validators, including sybils and sandwiches. Disgruntled operators even suggested “Marinade wants you to have side deals, ethical or not.”
Additionally, validators have argued that if “most of the mSOL pool is delegated to unethical validators it’s a really bad look for the Solana ecosystem.”
In an exclusive statement with SolanaFloor, Max Kaplan, Head of Engineering at Edgevana, credits Marinade for trying something inventive that “had never been done before”.
However, Kaplan admits that Marinade “went full capitalist… basically, the highest bidder wins. Marinade doesn’t really care if a validator bids for stake and is just gonna lose money on that stake, that’s not their problem… They’re happy to take the money and give that to mSOL holders.”
Experts argue that in current conditions, staking yield over 10% simply isn’t sustainable. Kaplan contends “10% APY is higher than the native staking yield that is paid out on chain. The money has to come from somewhere.”
Without making any accusations, Kaplan theorizes that additional yield could potentially come from a validator’s own “marketing/growth budget” or other sources like “SWQoS / private mempool deals”.
Responding to any accusations, Repetny reinforces Marinade's stance that “SAM provides the best yield on the market for delegators. It is not an active policy maker or opinionated strategy to tweak the network.”

Holding an open discussion on 𝕏, BitGo’s Mike Belshe joined Justin Sun and original WBTC contributor Meow to address concerns about WBTC custody changes.
Earlier this week, BitGo announced changes to WBTC’s existing custody model that included distributing influence across several parties and geographic jurisdictions.
The move drew a wrath of criticism from the cryptocurrency community, notably due to the involvement of Tron founder Justin Sun.
Seeking to clear the air, Jupiter co-founder and original WBTC contributor Meow welcomed BitGO CEO Mike Belshe, Justin Sun, and BitGlobal representatives to a public forum to shed some light on the situation.
MIKE BELSHE PUTS BTC USAGE CONCERNS TO REST
One of the key concerns outlined by the crypto community following BitGo’s original announcement was what the Bitcoin used to back WBTC would be used for. Acting as a voice for the crypto community at large, Meow posed the question of BTC utilization to BitGo CEO Mike Belshe.
Assuring over 5,000 captivated listeners, Belshe put their nervous minds to rest, highlighting that “when you put [Bitcoin] inside of a trust company you’ve got it wrapped in a mechanism which has got a fiduciary responsibility in a very legal way.”
Reinforcing his statement with additional context, Belshe acknowledged that people’s “number one question” was that “the bitcoin behind [WBTC] is not gonna get hypothecated, rehypothecated, lent out, used, taken, put somewhere else.”
Highlighting the legal constraints of BitGo’s position, Belshe assured listeners “The regulatory construct that we have makes it so that it’s actually illegal to do that.”
A TRANSFER OF TRUST?
Part of the BitGo X GitGlobal collaboration means that multi-signature keys with access to custodied assets will be distributed across several companies. While on paper this aids in decentralization and security, Meow and the community raised concerns regarding the involvement of BitGlobal, a relatively new and unknown entity in the space.
By transfering ownership of keys, Meow theorized that the “transfer of trust will take a long time” arguing it could be “quite a hard pill for the community to swallow”.
Responding to Meow’s claims, Belshe asserted “BitGo is not asking you to take the same trust that you had in BitGo and just give it to somebody else.”
Hammering his point home, Belshe contended that decentralization remains one of the strongest security measures available. Posing the rhetoric, Belshe asked “Is it more secure to have the two parties, or is it more secure to have BitGo hold two keys?”
THE JUSTIN SUN FACTOR
The announcement of Justin Sun’s involvement in the arrangement has been one of the collaboration’s biggest items of contention. Some long-standing crypto protocols like MakerDAO have argued that Justin Sun’s involvement adds an “unacceptable level of risk” to WBTC, proposing to reduce their WBTC exposure to 0.
Justin Sun’s commentary during the forum was admittedly brief. Downplaying his role and involvement, the controversial figure noted “the protocol, how to mint, how to burn and also the transparency and all the procedures remain the same.”
Adding further clarity, Sun contended “other than some of the keys being moved out of the U.S., I don’t really think there is much difference.”
Beyond assuring listeners that nothing had changed, Sun revealed his vision for the future of WBTC. Positing that “not everything we do is purely to make money” Sun believes the team should focus on expanding WBTC market cap, TVL, and helping the asset establish a presence of more blockchains.

BTC, yesterday at the meeting of the US Federal Reserve, rates were left at the same level of 5.5. The forecast was absolutely the same. But the market still didn't like this moment. Bitcoin has adjusted, but if you look at the chart, this is a healthy correction after Bitcoin's growth from the 53,000 level. The support area for this local growth is marked on the chart. So physically, the uptrend itself plays the role of support. This is a key medium-term support that cannot be lost. Now Bitcoin is trading within the framework of a medium-term model with compression from above. The key support levels on the current medium-term model are 58,000-60,000 and resistance is 70,000-73,000.
withdrawal from exchanges exceeds input - 12%, 12,500 btc
Altcoins have not yet returned to the bottom of the correction from the beginning of last month, but they are already close. Nevertheless, the average is now 0.786 fibonacci line on altcoins. The next Fed meeting is already on September 18. Theoretically and technically, altcoins on average have setups that will be ready by August 10-20. In fact, if all the data of the US economy are such that will lead to a subsequent reduction in the % rate, we will see the beginning of growth. Of course it's only a matter of time! Many altcoins are from the top100, I'm not talking about shield coins in the 10000 place right now. We are talking about normal altcoins. Which are at their bottom of the crypto winter, and their growth is a matter of time! Weak paper hands will leave this market with nothing. The strong ones will take the profit!

IP remains stuck in an outdated legal system that makes it difficult to license, monetize, & trade effectively
That's where StoryProtocol comes in -- a new blockchain that aims to transform IP into liquid, programmable, & ownable digital assets
A 101 Explainer👇
What is Story Network?
Story Network was created specifically for bringing IP onchain, making it easier to manage and monetize.
On Story Network, IP is represented as onchain assets called IP Assets, which are NFTs. These NFTs carry detailed metadata about the underlying IP and serve as its digital representations. They can be linked to existing NFTs, e.g. a CryptoPunk, or be issued to represent offchain items.
Each IP Asset is linked to an IP Account, a specialized smart contract that manages interactions and data related to the IP.
Also at the heart of Story Network is its Proof-of-Creativity (PoC) Protocol, which facilitates the creation and management of IP Assets, enabling use cases like permissionless licensing and automated royalty payments.
Another key pillar here is the Programmable IP License (PIL), a legal framework that bridges the onchain world with traditional legal systems, ensuring that the digital representation of IP on Story Network is enforceable in the real world.
How is Story Network designed?
Story Network is a Layer 1 (L1) blockchain optimized for handling complex IP data structures efficiently that leans on elements from both the ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and the cosmos
SDK.
Notably, Story Network is EVM-equivalent, meaning it supports the same code execution environment as Ethereum. This compatibility allows developers to port existing applications and smart contracts written in Ethereum's popular Solidity programming language to Story Network with minimal or no changes.
Why tokenize IP on Story Network?
Tokenizing IP on Story Network offers several notable benefits:
🌊 Liquidity — IP can be traded or used as collateral, creating new financial opportunities.
🧱 Programmability — Automated actions like royalty payments can be embedded within IP NFTs, simplifying management.
🔍 Transparency — The underlying blockchain provides a clear and immutable record of IP ownership and transactions.
These are compelling pillars for content creators, but what will the actual use cases look like?
For instance, artists, musicians, writers, and beyond can register their IP as NFTs on Story Network, set licensing terms, and automate royalty payments. This makes it easier to control and monetize their work.
For developers, they can build applications that leverage tokenized IP. Think things like AI model marketplaces, content remixing platforms, and DeFi apps that use IP NFTs as collateral.
Two of the earliest app examples in the Story ecosystem are Magma and Mahojin. The former is a collaborative design tool that uses Story Network to manage and monetize creative works via NFTs, while the latter is a platform for AI training data and models.
Zooming out
How might making IP programmable and liquid influence the interaction between creators and consumers? Will tokenizing and trading IP democratize access to creative works? And how effectively can the PIL system adapt to diverse global legal landscapes, especially as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent?
The answers to these questions remain to be seen, but Story Network is diving in here in unprecedented fashion and looking to revolutionize the future of digital IP through the cryptoeconomy. As the chain evolves and gains traction, its bull case is its potential to redefine IP management to be better in line with the content challenges of the 21st century.
Can Story win out, then? We'll see, but this innovative reach into a new terrain is exciting nonetheless!

TRUMP OR BIDEN - WHO’S BETTER FOR CRYPTO?
As November’s critical election draws closer one presidential candidate has made his pro-crypto stance abundantly clear, but have any promises or policies been made?
For the first time in the nation’s history, crypto policy will take center stage and play a crucial role in the U.S. Presidential race. With over 52M cryptocurrency owners in the country, according to a Coinbase report, winning the crypto vote could well mean the difference between sitting in the Oval Office and hanging up your Campaign tie for another four years.
Where do Trump and Biden stand on crypto? Will Biden attempt to make amends for Gary Gensler’s crypto crusade? Will Trump, the self-proclaimed ‘crypto president’ deliver on his claims?
BIDEN’S STANCE OVER THE YEARS
The Biden Administration has hardly been crypto-friendly in the last four years. Under Biden’s watch, Securities and Exchanges Commission Chair Gary Gensler has led a merciless campaign against the digital asset industry, serving lawsuits to crypto companies left, right, and center.
Gary Gensler hasn’t been alone in his fight against cryptocurrency. Senator Elizabeth Warren has strongly advocated against cryptocurrencies in the past, frequently using individual examples to paint the entire industry in a bad light.
With November only four months away, the Biden administration’s stance on crypto hasn't changed. A recent Statement of Administration Policy declared that the Administration was against passing H.R. 4763, a proposed regulatory framework for digital assets.
The decision was made due to the belief that “H.R. 4763 in its current form lacks sufficient protections for consumers and investors who engage in certain digital asset transactions.”
Despite refusing the framework, the Biden Administration maintains that it “is eager to work with Congress to ensure a comprehensive and balanced regulatory framework for digital assets, building on existing authorities, which will promote the responsible development of digital assets and payment innovation and help reinforce United States leadership in the global financial system.”
DONALD TRUMP - THE ‘CRYPTO PRESIDENT’
Despite calling Bitcoin a ‘scam against the dollar’ back in 2021, Trump seems to have changed his tune on cryptocurrency. In a recent tech fundraiser event in San Francisco, Trump has rebranded himself as the ‘crypto president' evidently trying to win the vote of the nation’s population on digital asset holders.
Trump’s dramatic change of heart toward the cryptocurrency world has even made its way onchain. Arkham Intelligence, a popular blockchain analysis and tracking tool claims to have identified Trump’s crypto wallet, which holds over $7 .9M of digital assets. The former President has also shown a penchant for NFTs having launched several Trump Digital Trading Card collections.
More recently, Trump has promised to “end Biden’s War on Crypto”. The Republic candidate has further declared that he is “very positive and open minded to cryptocurrency companies”. Aligning himself with the Bitcoin faithful, Trump views Bitcoin as “our last line of defense against a CBDC”.
These views align with Republican Senator Bill Hagerty, who expressed that a CBDC is “the last thing I think we need as a nation” and “would be very detrimental to our economy, to the dollar and certainly to innovation in this space” during a recent interview with Solana Head of Strategy Austin Federa.

What is magicblock?
It's a taste of what's to come in the Solana gaming scene 🎮
A beginner's guide to the Onchain Game Engine 👇
Onchain game engines make it easier to build games with no external dependencies beyond their underlying blockchain.
To me, this is one of the most exciting areas of development in crypto today, and that’s why my curiosity was piqued when I recently came across MagicBlock Engine.
MagicBlock is a game engine that’s innovated an Ephemeral Rollups architecture for powering flexible and performant onchain games on Solana.
I think MagicBlock is an interesting look into what's to come in the Solana gaming scene, so let’s catch you up on all the basics.
What Is MagicBlock?
MagicBlock is a gaming framework built on top of Solana, designed to facilitate the development of fully onchain games and apps.
Recently, MagicBlock Engine showcased its capabilities at an a16zcrypto Demo Day event.
The demo featured a real-time, fully onchain game deployed entirely on Solana, and two clients played the game simultaneously with no lag thanks to the MagicBlock’s ability to delegate accounts into fast Solana validators.
What Are Ephemeral Rollups?
MagicBlock extends Solana's capabilities by introducing Ephemeral Rollups (ERs), which are designed to efficiently facilitate state transitions without fragmenting a game’s state.
MagicBlock’s Other Main Features
⚡️ BOLT — A framework that uses the Entity Component System (ECS) pattern to streamline the development of onchain games. It allows developers to quickly create modular, reusable, and extendable game components and logic.
🪪 SOAR — SOAR stands for Solana Onchain Achievement & Ranking. This reputation system lets developers readily define achievements based on onchain activities, track and display user rankings, and deploy rewards.
🔑 Session keys — MagicBlock recently helped add support for session keys in the Solana Unity SDK, making it easier for its game devs to eliminate the need for repeated wallet popups during frequent in-game interactions in a secure fashion.
MagicBlock’s angle is to bypass these fragmentation issues by keeping assets on mainnet Solana, thus maintaining the possibility for atomic composability, while still achieving scalability with ERs. This way you get high throughput, customizable runtimes, and the ability for games and apps to seamlessly interact without needing interoperability solutions.
What to Watch Going Forward?
1. MagicBlock is new and still rearing up. Which onchain game will be the first to officially use this engine?
2. The recent MagicBlock demo achieved 50ms latency, which is competitive with modern gaming standards. Can we expect further optimizations that bring this latency even lower for even better real-time gameplay?
3. Earlier this year, Parallel announced its AI game Colony would be based on Solana. Could the Parallel team adopt MagicBlock Engine to meet its infrastructure needs here?
4. With MagicBlock maintaining assets on the Solana mainnet, developers have the potential for atomic composability. What use cases will emerge from this capability?
5. Onchain games benefit greatly from user-generated content (UGC) and user-generated logic (UGL). Will the SOAR system be used to incentivize these sorts of creations?
The Bottom Line
While MagicBlock is still in its early stages, its potential to catalyze Solana’s fully onchain gaming scene seems considerable, as its Ephemeral Rollups architecture can help it bypass key challenges faced by other gaming engines while still ensuring high performance. Looking ahead, be sure to stay updated on the team’s progress by following them on Twitter— they’re ones to watch in my opinion!

Holdium is planning to airdrop 5% of its total supply to customers who pre-order Solana Mobile's "Chapter 2" smartphones. This follows the trend of leveraging airdrops to add value to pre-orders, a tactic successfully employed with Solana Mobile's first smartphone, the Saga, which saw a significant boost in sales thanks to bundled airdrops of meme coins like $BONK and $MEW .
The "Chapter 2" smartphone, expected to ship in 2025, has already garnered over 100,000 pre-orders. This strong demand is partly due to the anticipation of similar airdrops and the lower price point of $450 compared to the Saga's.
These airdrops not only enhance the perceived value of the phone but also serve as a powerful marketing tool within Web3 community.
