In brief Solana’s target slot time—the window a validator gets to produce a block—dropped from 300 milliseconds to 250 on Friday, the network’s third speed cut since August. The change makes blocks arrive nearly 17% faster but doesn’t raise how many transactions the network can process, since each shorter slot now carries proportionally less computation. A further cut to 200 milliseconds has no mainnet date and will only proceed if block-skip rates—how often a validator misses its turn—stay in check. Solana’s internal clock just ticked faster. Earlier Friday, the network’s target slot time dropped from 300 milliseconds to 250, a…

The CFTC just sent its crypto rulemaking to the White House. The submission landed at the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on September 17, logged under RIN 3038-AF80, titled “Regulation Crypto Asset Transactions and Regulation Crypto Asset Markets.” That’s a pretty broad title — and probably intentional. Not a final rule. Not even close. The proposal sits at the pre-rule stage, which means it’s grinding through executive-branch review before it ever goes public. No compliance deadlines. No new trading permissions. Nothing that changes how U.S. customers access derivatives today. But the fact that it reached OIRA at all is…

The concern extends to banks. Van der Chijs believes AI could expose vulnerabilities in legacy banking software, threatening confidence in institutions that depend on interconnected systems. Within crypto, he sees exchanges and other businesses built around bitcoin as more vulnerable than the underlying network.His concerns have not displaced an expansive view of AI’s economic potential. He predicts AI and robotics could eventually perform 90% to 95% of existing jobs, while driving sharp declines in the cost of goods and services.In that scenario, governments would need new sources of revenue as employment changes. He suggested taxes on robots or AI token…
