GalaxyOne launches Solana staking with 6.5% yield, zero fees through 2026

GalaxyOne, Galaxy's yield-focused platform, has launched Solana (SOL) staking for individual users, offering an estimated 6.5% variable yield with zero platform fees through December 2026. This marks the first crypto-yield feature on the platform, expanding from its traditional cash and stock lending offerings. The move allows users to earn staking rewards alongside other assets in a unified portfolio, with Ethereum (ETH) staking coming soon. As a top-10 Solana validator, Galaxy has previously shared staking rewards with institutions but now includes retail investors. SOL staking demand saw fluctuations in Q1 2026, dipping 3% to 414 million SOL in early March before recovering to January levels of 427.53 million SOL (68% of supply). This recovery coincided with a 20% SOL price surge from $80 to nearly $100. The new feature may further boost staking demand and positively impact SOL's price.

Ethereum’s exit queue spikes after 5% pullback – Are ETH bulls in trouble?

Ethereum faces mixed signals and heightened uncertainty after a 5% single-day decline, its worst daily close since the onset of the West Asian conflict. Bulls failed to reclaim $2.2k, putting the $2k support level under pressure. This triggered significant liquidations, with over $112 million in daily liquidations—90% from long positions—marking the largest long squeeze in nearly ten days. Simultaneously, Ethereum's validator exit queue surged from 288 to 63k in less than a week, indicating growing caution among validators. However, exchange reserves dropped to a 10-year low, with consistent net withdrawals, including $1.67 billion removed on March 22. This reflects a deleveraging phase where leveraged traders amplify short-term volatility, while shrinking supply suggests longer-term scarcity. Once selling pressure subsides, the reduced supply could allow bulls to push ETH toward $2.5k.

Solana proposes ‘Constellation’ upgrade to curb MEV and enforce fair transaction ordering

Solana researchers have proposed "Constellation," a new protocol upgrade designed to reduce maximal extractable value (MEV) by limiting validator control over transaction ordering. The system replaces single-leader block production with multiple concurrent proposers (MCP) that submit transaction batches simultaneously. A new class of nodes called "attesters" verifies and timestamps these submissions to enforce fairness before blocks are assembled. This structure aims to prevent validators from reordering, censoring, or front-running transactions for profit. Unlike other MEV solutions that redistribute extracted value, Constellation seeks to eliminate the conditions that enable MEV extraction by enforcing strict inclusion rules and fixed 50-millisecond economic ticks. The proposal introduces greater protocol-level fairness but also adds complexity through synchronized clocks and multi-node coordination. If successful, it could position Solana as a high-speed blockchain optimized for fair financial market operations.

Why analysts believe Bittensor’s ‘income desert’ could trigger TAO rerating

Pine Analytics warns that Bittensor's native token TAO, despite recent significant price appreciation, faces a fundamental risk due to its economic model. The analysis indicates that many of Bittensor's AI subnets, like the top subnet Chutes (SN64), are heavily subsidized by token emissions rather than genuine user demand. Without these subsidies, their services would be 1.6-3.5x more expensive than centralized competitors, completely inverting their cost advantage. The report projects that when emissions halve (estimated late 2026 or 2027), the network will face a critical challenge: either prices for AI services must double, miners will leave due to lower rewards, or the gap between subsidy and actual revenue will widen. This "income desert" scenario, with no verifiable demand data available, could trigger a major reassessment (rerating) of TAO's value as users seek cheaper alternatives and participants exit the network. Despite this bearish fundamental outlook, TAO's market sentiment had recovered to neutral at the time of writing following a substantial short-term price increase.

Ethereum Foundation Moves $10M ETH After First-Ever Staking — More Coming?

Ethereum has reclaimed the $2,250 level amid a short-term bullish market recovery. The Ethereum Foundation has drawn significant on-chain attention after staking ETH for the first time about three weeks ago, marking a strategic shift from its historical approach of holding or selling assets. This move signals potential confidence in Ethereum’s long-term network economics. Recently, the Foundation transferred $10M worth of ETH to a new wallet, sparking speculation that it may be preparing additional staking operations. If staked, these funds would generate yield and contribute to network security, reinforcing the Foundation’s evolving role in Ethereum’s proof-of-stake ecosystem.

Ethereum Under Pressure As Researchers Issue Critical Report

Culper Research has taken a short position on Ethereum, issuing a critical report that questions the network's long-term health. The report argues that the Fusaka Upgrade significantly expanded blockspace, causing transaction fees to drop by nearly 90%, which in turn weakens validator economics and staking rewards. It also alleges that recent transaction growth and new wallet creation are largely driven by spam and address-poisoning attacks rather than genuine adoption, with dusting-related activity accounting for 22.5% of all ETH transactions. Additionally, competition from Solana and reports of Vitalik Buterin selling 19,000 ETH have added to bearish sentiment. Despite these concerns, some commentators note that Ethereum’s design allows for future protocol changes to address economic issues.

Ethereum – BlackRock drops ETH ETF staking fee as firm issues ‘warning’

BlackRock has reduced the staking fee for its Ethereum ETF from 18% to 10% to stay competitive, as most U.S. spot ETH ETFs are now including staking features. Demand for ETH staking has surged, with a record 37 million ETH staked, representing 30.6% of the circulating supply. However, Culper Research warns that recent network upgrades like Fusaka have lowered validator rewards, potentially reducing staking demand and negatively impacting ETH's value. The firm has taken a short position on ETH, citing declining validator activity. Despite this, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin views the upgrades as beneficial long-term. ETH's price is consolidating near $2k, with a potential volatile move ahead.

Wall Street Shorts ETH: Vitalik Knew and Front-Ran, Tom Lee Still Deluded

Culper Research, a Wall Street short-selling firm, has announced a short position on ETH and related securities, including Bitmine (BMNR). The firm argues that Ethereum's token economic model was broken following the Fusaka upgrade in December 2025. They claim that Vitalik Buterin and developers miscalculated Layer 1 demand elasticity using outdated models, leading to a 90% drop in gas fees instead of the predicted 10-30%. This has allegedly enabled a surge in low-value on-chain activity, such as address poisoning and dusting attacks, which now account for 22.5% of all Ethereum transactions. Culper asserts that Vitalik is aware of these issues and is selling his ETH, while prominent bull Tom Lee continues to incorrectly attribute the network's growth to genuine adoption. The report also highlights a decline in validator earnings, a loss of developer talent to Solana, and shrinking market share.

Data Inflation, Is ETH's Fundamental Still There?

The report by Culper Research argues that Ethereum's fundamentals have been severely damaged following the December 2025 Fusaka upgrade. The upgrade increased the gas limit, causing a 90% drop in gas fees—far more than the 10-30% predicted—and led to a surplus of cheap block space. This has enabled a surge in "address poisoning" or "dusting" attacks, which now account for 95% of new wallet creation and over 22.5% of all ETH transactions. The authors claim these attacks artificially inflate on-chain activity metrics, such as active addresses and transaction volume, which are mistakenly cited by bulls like Tom Lee as evidence of organic growth. Additionally, the report states that lower transaction fees have reduced validator earnings, weakening staking incentives and undermining Ethereum’s token economics. It highlights that Vitalik Buterin has been selling significant amounts of ETH, suggesting insider awareness of these issues. The authors also note competitive threats from Solana, which is gaining developer momentum and institutional adoption. Culper Research concludes that Ethereum’s economic model is broken and maintains a bearish outlook on ETH.
