Every US stablecoin now has a rulebook
From Jan 18, 2027, issuing a #stablecoin in the US without approval is illegal. The @USOCC just published the final rules every issuer must follow 👇
For holders:
• Redemption within 2 business days, from just 1 coin
• Monthly audited reserve reports
• Only a regulator can freeze withdrawals
• Reserves short for 15 business days → wind-down, everyone repaid
For issuers:
• 1:1 reserves in cash, short T-bills, government money funds
• At least 5% in instant cash
• Max 40% with one counterparty
• $5M capital plus 12 months of expenses

❗️@Solana just cut finality from about 6 seconds to about 0.15 seconds
#Alpenglow, its biggest upgrade since 2020, went live on mainnet today. Our live RPC measurement shows ~0.2s, roughly 30x faster. @anza_xyz targets 150 milliseconds 👇
The trick is moving votes off-chain.
Validator votes made up about 71% of all Solana transactions this morning. Now validators exchange them directly, and a block is final after one round if 80% of the stake agrees.
That puts Solana on par with @HyperliquidX and @base preconfirmations at about 0.2s. @ethereum still takes about 15 minutes.
Getting here wasn't smooth: we wiped and restarted the Alpenglow test cluster six times before it worked.
Tokens can maintain a public-yet-confidential balance under one contract address.
Only amounts are hidden; sender, recipient, and timing stay public on-chain.
@ConsensysAudits audited the system before launch. @FlutonIO and @0xAlphaEngine are the first apps building on it.
20 states have now gone after @Kalshi. Half of them joined in 2026.
The latest: Utah sued Kalshi on Oct. 20, along with two Susquehanna firms, calling it a "back-alley gambling den." The complaint estimates up to $61.2M in fees from Utah users 👇
Cease-and-desist letters, lawsuits, even criminal charges. Ten states did it in 2026 alone.
Courts have already forced Kalshi to block markets in Nevada, Michigan, and Washington, where fines can reach $500K a day.
