Solana validators will vote on two major protocol upgrades; these proposals focus on changing staking incentives and adjusting inflation mechanisms. The planned Solana protocol upgrades have sparked heated discussions as critics fear they might significantly reduce validator revenues. Supporters believe these updates will improve the network’s long-term sustainability. The timing adds to the stakes as digital asset ETFs are gaining traction. Many investors are closely watching the outcome. Solana Validators to Vote on Controversial Upgrades Two protocol upgrades for Solana are set to be voted on by validators this March. The first of these proposals is about ensuring sufficient rewards for stakers. The second proposal is set to change and adjust the inflation rates for the SOL token. These Solana Improvement Documents, or SIMDs, have caused major controversies. This is because, according to VanEck’s head of digital asset research, these upgrades will reduce validator revenue by as much as 95%. Boosting Staking Rewards: Solana’s Big Update Explained The first proposal, which will be voted on March 6, is called SIMD 0123. This update will increase the SOL staking rewards. Staking is about putting SOL tokens in a lock in a validator’s system. This way, the staked SOL token is used as collateral, and shakers can earn payouts from the network. Staking also comes with its risks, as stakers can lose their SOL as collateral. The staked SOLs are also in danger in case of a security risk or weakness in the validator’s system. To increase SOL staking rewards, this update will add a mechanism that distributes the Solana network’s priority fees among validator stakers. These fees are collected from traders who want to make their transactions faster. These fees represent 40% of the Solana revenue, and before this update, validators did not share these fees with stakers. Till now, validators only paid voting rewards and other such rewards. The SIMD 0123 update also aims to reduce off-chain trading and encourage on-chain trading and transaction. Solana’s Inflation Overhaul: a Risky Move? The second proposed update, which aims to lower inflation rates, was written mostly by Multicoin Capital’s Vishal Kankani. This venture capital firm has a considerable position in Solana’s most popular staking pool. Jito is now used by more than 93% of Solana validators, as it maximizes block-building earnings. Sigel VanEck’s head of digital asset research has called this update the “most impactful proposal under consideration.”. Called SIMD 0228, this Solana update will change the SOL’s inflation. This proposal makes inflation inversely track the percent of token supply staked. Solana has several upcoming protocol upgrades, known as SIMDs, aimed at enhancing its technical capabilities and economic framework. These changes could help stabilize and strengthen Solana's position in the crypto ecosystem moving forward.Solana recently implemented SIMD 096… — matthew sigel, recovering CFA (@matthew_sigel) March 4, 2025 Sigel added this update is “reducing dilution and lowering selling pressure from stakers who treat staking rewards as income.”. As reported in February, Solana’s inflation rate was much more than its targeted 1.5% amount. The Solana inflation rate is lower than it started at 8% and stands at 4%. Solana’s inflation is currently in decline, with a rate of 15% per year. “While these changes may reduce staking rewards, we believe lowering inflation is a worthy goal that strengthens Solana’s long-term sustainability,” Sigel added. Matthew Sigel mentioned in his X post that this change could jeopardize smaller operators. Solana’s Evolution: Upgrades and the ETF Revolution These proposals come at a time when the trend of digital asset-based ETFs is on the rise. Asset managers are now encouraging regulators to approve and list SOL ETFs in US exchanges. The feature of ETF staking has also been mentioned, with issuers seeking permits from US regulators. Based on Bloomberg’s predictions, SOL ETFs have a 70% chance of being approved in 2025. So, with Solana protocol upgrades and ETFs in the way, SOL has a crucial year ahead.

The post FTX and Alameda Unstake $431M in Solana – Is a Bigger Crash Coming? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The crypto world is on edge as wallets linked to bankrupt exchange FTX and its trading firm Alameda Research just unstaked over 3 million Solana (SOL). This is the biggest SOL unlock since they started selling off assets in November 2023. With SOL already dropping 20% in the last 24 hours, panic is spreading. Will this massive unlock trigger an even bigger price crash, or can the market hold strong? FTX and Alameda’s Biggest Unstake Since 2023 According to Lookonchain FTX and Alameda just made their biggest Solana (SOL) unlock since late 2023. On March 4, FTX & Alameda unstake 3.03 million SOL worth a jaw-dropping $431 million in a single move. Shortly after the unlock, around 25,000 SOL ($3.3 million) was sent straight to Binance. This continues a trend that started in November 2023 when FTX and Alameda unstaked 2.1 million SOL worth $141 million. With millions of SOLs constantly flowing to exchanges, fears of a bigger sell-off are growing. Some experts believe this could trigger another price crash, or is the market ready to absorb the shock? Can FTX Sell $431M in SOL at Once? While the unstaking of such a massive amount raises concerns, FTX cannot immediately sell all the tokens at once due to strict bankruptcy court rules. A September 2023 ruling limits their liquidation to $50 million per week initially, increasing to $100 million in later weeks. If they seek to sell more than $200 million per week, they must obtain court approval. Despite these restrictions, data from Spot On Chain shows that since November 2023, FTX and Alameda have unstaked 7.83 million SOL, worth nearly $986 million, with most of these tokens sent to Binance and Coinbase for liquidation. What’s Next for Solana? Solana (SOL) is among the biggest losers today, plunging over 20% and wiping out nearly $10 billion from its market cap. Currently, it remains more than 60% below its all-time high of $294. Looking ahead, SOL now faces a crucial test at the $145 resistance level, which previously acted as support. If SOL manages to surge above $145, it may gain momentum and climb toward $165, signaling a potential recovery.

According to Arkham, pump fun: Fee Account transferred about 172,438 SOLs to Kraken again from 1:19 to 1:48 UTC+8 today through a new wallet: 8sp5im...Rac3sM, worth about 32.7 million US dollars.

According to Lookonchain, an address spent 1 sol to purchase 19.79 million Mundi tokens in the early stage, and started selling them for profit four days ago. Currently, 1,428 SOLs (worth $336,900) have been exchanged, and 1.6 million Mundi (worth $99,000) are still held, with a profit of more than $435,000 and a yield of 2,580x.

The recent actions of the Solana whale, which has pulled out of steaking and selling its assets on Binance, has raised concerns about the sustainability of the current SOL price rise In the past, sales of the Solana whale have caused SOL to fall by double digits. We dissect whether history will repeat itself again, or whether retail investors will be able to protect the current price rise. Whale Solana has decided to lock in profits According to Solscan, the Solana whale recently took 100,000 SOL tokens out of steaking and transferred them to cryptocurrency exchange Binance. This comes just three days after the same investor withdrew 100,000 SOL tokens from steaking and transferred the assets to the same exchange. Whale's decision to move his SOL assets to Binance is likely due to a desire to capitalize on the current price increase. The coin has risen in value by 9% over the past seven days. However, this growth could face resistance if Whale continues to sell off. Historically, his sales have had a significant impact on the SOL price, as was the case between June 7 and July 7, when he dumped 1.2 million SOLs worth $178 million, causing the price to drop from $170 to $128. Nevertheless, positive indicators still prevail. The Parabolic Stop and Reverse (SAR) indicator points below the SOL price, indicating a strong uptrend. In addition, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator at 0.27 indicates high buyer interest and confirms the bullish bias on Solana. SOL Outlook: Whale vs. the rest Sustained buying pressure from other market participants may offset the impact of the whale's actions. If the bullish momentum continues, Solana could rise to the resistance level of $160.09. Successfully overcoming this critical level will open the way for SOL to reach $188.74. However, if the whale continues to sell its assets for profit, history could repeat itself. In this case, the price may fall by 27%, to the neighborhood of $110.
