Romania is building one of the world’s most ambitious theme parks: a $1 billion (approximately €1 billion) Dracula Land mega-resort located just outside Bucharest. Set to open around 2027, the park will sit only 20 minutes from the city center and 15 minutes from the international airport, offering excellent accessibility for international visitors.
The project aims to fully immerse guests in the legendary world of Dracula, celebrating Romania’s rich cultural heritage and its deep connection to the vampire myth. The sprawling entertainment resort will feature six themed lands, including Transylvania and Dracula’s Castle, along with Victorian London and New Orleans.
Plans include more than 40 attractions such as thrilling roller coasters, dark rides, and interactive experiences. Additional facilities will comprise 1,200 hotel rooms across three themed hotels, a large aqua park, a thermal spa, a 22,500-seat entertainment arena, a luxury outlet mall, and a digital metaverse experience supported by its own cryptocurrency, DraculaCoin.
This ambitious development is poised to become a major new tourist destination, blending Romania’s folklore with large-scale modern entertainment.

BREAKING: The SEC has formally classified SOL as a digital commodity in its new crypto asset taxonomy, alongside BTC, ETH, and 14 other assets.
SOL is not a security.
@ImDenixSol@solanamobile SKR did not have a traditional private sale or publicly disclosed seed round like most early-stage crypto projects targeting VCs or early investors. It may instead be positioned as a community-driven token with a solid tokenomics structure and a good APY.
In a landmark first, Ondo has received EU regulatory approval to list the first round of Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs.
500 million investors across 30 markets in the EU and EEA can now access Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs, including:
✅ GOOGLon
✅ AMZNon
✅ NVDAon
✅ CRCLon
✅ METAon
✅ MSFTon
✅ AAPLon
✅ TSLAon
✅ QQQon
The approval follows the November approval of the Ondo Global Markets Base Prospectus by the Financial Market Authority Liechtenstein, a recognized European regulator with passporting rights across the EU and EEA.
Ondo Global Markets is already the largest tokenized equities platform globally with $550M+ in TVL, $9B+ in cumulative volume, the most integrations, and tens of thousands of holders.
🚨 GOLD AND SILVER BLACK SWAN.
Gold: -15%. Silver: -38%.
In the last 24 hours, $15T+ has been wiped out from Gold and Silver. That's half the GDP of the United States... GONE in ONE DAY.
We just witnessed the first Sigma-10 event in financial history. Mathematically, this shouldn't happen in the lifetime of the entire universe.
The SIMULATION is LITERALLY BREAKING.
Quantum computers aren't here yet, but Solana Foundation is preparing for the possibility.
To that end, we've consulted with Project Eleven to assess our quantum readiness.
We're pleased to announce a first step, the deployment of post-quantum signatures on a Solana testnet.
If you predicted the ecosystem was saving all the sauce for Abu Dhabi, you forgot that Solana builders drown out the noise and just ship. 🚢

Today is a watershed moment for Solana!
Introducing the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF: $BSOL
BSOL is built to maximize Solana’s 7%+ average staking rewards* for investors, targeting 100% of assets staked through Bitwise Onchain Solutions, powered by the high-performance tech of @heliuslabs. Fees waived to 0% for a limited time.**
Why Solana?
Solana is one of the fastest growing technology platforms in the world, with usage generating over $2B in network revenue in the past year alone—more than any other chain. Known for its high throughput and low cost, Solana has achieved massive adoption in just five years since its launch and is poised to be a major winner as capital markets move onchain. We think it’s a rising star and just getting started.
We’re thrilled investors can now use BSOL to participate in Solana’s rare combination of growth potential and high 7% average annual staking rewards. Crypto is becoming a mainstream asset class in 2025, and today, Solana takes a big leap forward in that journey.
Grayscale Solana Trust ETF (Ticker: $GSOL) offers investors direct exposure to $SOL, including its potential staking rewards.
$GSOL starts trading on @NYSE Arca tomorrow.

- Maximizing Solana’s 7%+ average staking reward rate*
- Targeting 100% of assets staked
- Staking through Bitwise Onchain Solutions, powered by @heliuslabs

We believe Solana is a key platform for enabling capital markets to come onchain and is perfectly positioned for this moment.
Now, investors can get exposure to its growth potential and 7% average staking rewards with BSOL.
Solana is headed into the mainstream—and we think it’s just getting started.
We’re proud to share that @jump_ is an engineering and network contributor to @doublezero : the first decentralized physical infrastructure layer purpose-built for high-performance blockchains and distributed systems, allowing high-throughput fiber access for all builders.
A new, faster internet is here.
DoubleZero’s high-performance global network is now live on mainnet-beta powered by 2Z.
Welcome to the world of high-performance networking.
The DoubleZero Delegation Program (DZDP) has just added +10M SOL to the stake pool.
That makes DZDP the second largest stake pool on @Solana.
Solana validators connected to DoubleZero mainnet-beta can expect to see an additional stake delegation at epoch 858.
And remember rewards compound with every epoch you operate over DoubleZero.
TL;DR: Migrate early. Eat more. 🥩🥩🥩
