BREAKING: Samsung partners with Solana to bring stablecoins to 82 million US Galaxy devices.
Samsung Wallet users in the US will be able to send money across borders using USDC on Solana, beginning the last week of October.
Armani Ferrante, CEO of Backpack, on what comes next for tokenized stocks.
"Not 10 stocks, not 100 stocks. We want to bring the entire stock market to Solana. One API where a real share, by any definition of the term, moves back and forth between your brokerage account and DeFi. Going from 200 symbols to 10,000 is the next leap."

Solana is swapping out its consensus engine without stopping the chain...
Alpenglow goes live on @Solana's testnet on Thursday, per @anza_xyz. The switch flips around 17:30 UTC. About 17 minutes later, the new system takes over from TowerBFT, the voting setup Solana ran since launch.
Anza says Alpenglow targets finality in 100 to 150 milliseconds, down from about 12.8 seconds. Devnet comes next, and there's no scheduled mainnet date yet.
Eth has already overtaken robinhood in spot dex volume. Is it over for robinhood?
It looks like everyone's back on Solana (as expected)
Solana on top baby.
From Seeker to local payments in LATAM at the best exchange rate.
Paid an Mercado Pago QR with USDC 🇦🇷.

NEW: @Bitwise ASSET MANAGEMENT PRESIDENT @teddyfuse REVEALS THAT "THE BITWISE SOLANA STAKING ETF, THE WORLD'S LARGEST SOL ETF, RECORDED A NEW ALL-TIME HIGH IN AUM OF >$1.2 BILLION"
I can’t believe $MET is only at $0.26
Because by staking you EARN 76% APR paid in USDC!!!
I you stake $15k worth of MET into it you get:
$30 per day, $930 per month and $11,250
And most importantly, the biggest volatility, the bigger DLMM fees, the more you earn
Could Solana steal users from Ethereum and send $SOL above $1,000 by 2030?

SOL is live as collateral on Phoenix.
Deposit SOL and use it to back perpetual positions directly across crypto, equities, and commodities. No USDC required.
Hold SOL. Trade anything.

This Is A Warning.
Arc is the old system, moved onchain.
Look at who is behind it.
Circle. BlackRock. DTCC. Visa. Mastercard. ICE. Standard Chartered. Galaxy. MoneyGram. SBI. Sumitomo. BNY. HSBC. State Street. Société Générale. Commerzbank. Add Aave, Morpho, Uniswap, the major exchanges, Chainlink, Ledger, Alchemy and the rest of the infrastructure stack.
That is institutional finance arriving with its own validator set, its own stablecoin, its own governance path and eventually its own native token.
The important part should not be whether Arc pumps. The important part is what $Arc represents.
USDC is the gas asset.
Circle still controls USDC at the issuer level and can freeze it.
Validators are selected institutions.
ARC has already been privately sold to major investors. 10 billion ARC have now been minted, while no public token launch has even been promised.
The people securing the network, funding the network and shaping the network are largely the same class of institutions crypto was supposedly created to route around.
Again: The parties securing the network are currently selected institutions.
From a bank’s perspective that is almost certainly part of the attraction.
Known validators, predictable governance and regulatory accountability make Arc easier to put in front of a compliance department.
From a crypto perspective, however, it creates an obvious question about how much decentralisation people are actually getting.
And yet people will call this decentralisation because the transactions happen on a blockchain.
Robinhood already showed where this is going.
Now Circle is building an even cleaner version of the same idea: take crypto infrastructure, remove as much uncertainty as possible, wrap it in institutional control, regulated stablecoins, approved validators and compliance-friendly privacy, then connect the entire thing back into the existing financial system.
Crypto adoption is absolutely happening. There is barely any serious argument left about that.
The mistake is assuming adoption means the old system disappears.
What we are actually watching is crypto being absorbed by it.
Banks, asset managers, payment networks and market infrastructure companies looked at blockchains and realised they do not need to destroy them.
They can use them. They can tokenize assets, settle faster, move dollars globally, automate markets and reduce costs while keeping the parts they care about most: control, identity, compliance, permissioning and legal enforceability.
That is why Arc matters far more than another L1 launch.
The battle is no longer between crypto and traditional finance. Traditional finance has already decided it wants the rails.
The real question is what remains of crypto once the rails belong to the same institutions again.
Missed this Space live yesterday, so I listened to the full recording today and pulled out what actually stuck with me.
Shipped Ep. 4 had a lot of updates, but one bigger picture stood out👇
Seeker is starting to look like much more than a crypto phone.
Distribution. Native apps. SKR utility. Hardware expansion. And a much bigger role for Seed Vault in security and AI agents.
1/🧵 The dApp Store is the moat, not the phone.
1,300+ apps now, up around 30% since the last episode. Emmett called the Store the breakthrough for Solana Mobile, not only with users and developers, but also in conversations with future hardware partners.
His line about everyone else who tried this was brutal: nobody came, then they had to pay people, and those people half-assed it.
2/🧵 Seeker Summer left real receipts.
16 apps over 8 weeks. Collect the Crypt alone crossed a billion dollars in cumulative volume. Season 2 is still live, so if you barely touched your phone this summer you are leaving rewards on the table.
SKR is moving too. The team says coordination and value capture are extremely close to being shared.
3/🧵 CLOCK IN is bigger than the headline suggests.
Everyone quotes 125K to 135K, which is only 8%. Look at the number that decides whether you enter:
- first place went from 10K to 30K
- plus a Seeker for every registered teammate who added value
- 10K in SKR as a separate integration bonus
- 5K each for places 6 to 10
- Sep 8 to Oct 8, 500+ registrations on the first night
The judging signal is very clear native first, real SKR integration, and they named security, AI and gaming.
4/🧵 The most interesting part for me was hardware.
Seeker + Seed Vault was described as largely unexplored territory for AI agents and secure agent payments.
A dedicated physical device that can authorize value without putting the same keys on the machine running your agents.
And it does not have to be an app at all. Widgets, floating companions, a whole launcher. There is no traditional content moderation here, and their words were literally: we want to see weird stuff, submit it.
5/🧵 And the distribution is already proven.
Backyard Finance described a real "Seeker effect": 10K+ users in roughly 2.5 weeks, 13K+ strategies created, 150K in deposits in that window. They are near 1M TVL today and around 200K of it comes from Seeker users. More than 20% of their numbers.
Their advice was blunt - if you build an app, you need to build it on Seeker.
The ecosystem is moving from proving that people want Seeker to exploring what only Seeker can do. 📱
BREAKING: the @world_xyz airdrop was banger
Follow these steps to claim your airdrop
- Enter: https://t.co/B0baipPXHr
- connect your sol wallet
- connect X
- Predict $3 or more in any category
No need to deposit, you just need to have USDC in your wallet
CASH should appear in your wallet after the trade
Use VPN if your region is banned ( I’m from Venezuela so I use TunnelBear )
Free money 🌎
So there's a $319,000,000 “airdrop” coming to Solana - but what is it actually? 💰🪂
It's not really an airdrop - it's your own SOL finally coming back to your wallet.
Every token account you've ever opened has a deposit locked inside it
And Solana is cutting that deposit by 90% across five steps.
Step 1 went live Sept 3, the last three land in November.
So your old accounts are now overfunded, & nothing gets refunded automatically.
You have to go and take it - the efficient way to do it:
→ Empty accounts from tokens you sold: close them now
→ Closing returns the full deposit, ~0.002 SOL each
→ Accounts you still hold tokens in: leave those until November, then sweep once
Most active wallets have 100-250 dead accounts sitting there.
That's 0.2-0.5 SOL you can take back today.
Careful though - fake "claim your $319M" scams are everywhere.
Tool I use in the first reply 👇
Robinhood users are getting raped.
I don't know how to say this. I don't mean to fud or hurt your feelings, I genuinely love all of you and wish you nothing but the best in life.
- Robinhood fees did $8.2m in a single day with only 14M transactions.
- Solana fees were $531k that same day with 309M transactions.
- Solana users paid only 6.5% of Robinhood's total fees to execute 22x more transactions than Robinhood.
On RH you are paying more for an objectively slower and shittier user experience.
Read this again and choose wisely. I love you.
One year of Seeker @solanamobile
From 100 to 1,200+ active apps.
SKR: from staking incentive to payment layer.
Hackathon winners → Seeker Summer featured apps.
The full picture - what grew, what didn't, and what the next 12 months will test. https://t.co/avfYmWpnhJ
