Введение

Valour's Solana ETP (VSOL) received approval for listing on Brazil's B3 exchange, expanding regulated, BRL-denominated institutional access to SOL. Despite this development and continued ETF inflows of $3.64M daily, SOL's price remained range-bound between $122-$145, showing fragile and directionless action. Key factors include Bitcoin's market-wide weakness weighing on sentiment, SOL tokens leaving exchanges (reducing sell-side supply), and a dense liquidity cluster at $123 posing a downside risk. Technical indicators like RSI at 44.03 and a compressed MACD showed weak demand. A bullish reversal requires a break above $145 to target $170, but near-term direction remains tied to broader market risk sentiment.

Valour’s B3 approval expanded institutional access to Solana, while ETF inflows continued. Even so, price action remained fragile.

Institutional investors often gravitate toward growing ecosystems, and Solana drew attention despite lagging prices amid market weakness. Bitcoin’s repeated dips weighed on sentiment and spilled into major altcoins.

Despite expanding institutional access, Solana remained cautious and directionless. At press time, Solana [SOL] hovered near $128, trading inside the $122–$145 range.

Sideways movement suggested consolidation rather than a decisive trend.

Institutional access widens in Brazil

Valour received approval to list Valour Solana [VSOL] on Brazil’s B3 exchange on the 16th of December. The listing expanded BRL-denominated, regulated access to Solana through traditional brokerage and custody rails.

The move placed Solana alongside Bitcoin [BTC], Ethereum [ETH], Ripple [XRP], and Sui [SUI] on B3. By adding SOL to its Brazilian lineup, Valour increased Solana’s institutional visibility in a key Latin American market.

ETF inflows continued as exchange supply fell

Data from the SoSoValue dashboard showed Solana Spot ETFs continued to record Net Inflows. Daily inflows stood near $3.64 million, while total Net Assets remained close to $926.33 million.

The steady inflows coincided with SOL’s sideways price action inside its established range.

At the same time, SOL tokens continued leaving exchanges, immediately reducing available sell-side supply. This divergence pointed to accumulation behavior rather than aggressive short-term positioning.

Liquidity clusters kept downside risks active

Binance Liquidation Heatmap highlighted dense liquidity clusters around the $123 level. That zone increased the probability of a short-term sweep during continued weakness.

If Bitcoin extended its decline, SOL could lose range support and slide toward the $95 zone. Such a move would likely be driven by broader market weakness rather than SOL-specific selling.

Can bulls reclaim higher supply?

On the chart, Solana traded in the mid ranges, with buyers still lacking clear momentum.

RSI printed 44.03, showing demand remained weak and below the neutral 50 line. MACD stayed compressed, suggesting bearish pressure was fading but not fully reversed.

Solana needed to break above $145 to reclaim $170 so as to push through to the range highs. A stronger recovery could then open the path toward the $200 supply zone.

Despite ecosystem growth, those upside paths depended on risk sentiment stabilizing.

Final Thoughts

  • Valour’s B3 approval underscored growing institutional confidence in Solana’s ecosystem.
  • Liquidity risks and Bitcoin-led weakness continued to shape SOL’s near-term direction.

OpenAI Post-Training Engineer Weng Jiayi Proposes a New Paradigm Hypothesis for Agentic AI

OpenAI engineer Weng Jiayi's "Heuristic Learning" experiments propose a new paradigm for Agentic AI, suggesting that intelligent agents can improve not just by training neural networks, but also by autonomously writing and refining code based on environmental feedback. In the experiment, a coding agent (powered by Codex) was tasked with developing and maintaining a programmatic strategy for the Atari game Breakout. Starting from a basic prompt, the agent iteratively wrote code, ran the game, analyzed logs and video replays to identify failures, and then modified the code. Through this engineering loop of "code-run-debug-update," it evolved a pure Python heuristic strategy that achieved a perfect score of 864 in Breakout and performed competitively with deep reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms in MuJoCo control tasks like Ant and HalfCheetah. This approach, termed Heuristic Learning (HL), contrasts with Deep RL. In HL, experience is captured in readable, modifiable code, tests, logs, and configurations—a software system—rather than being encoded solely into opaque neural network weights. This offers potential advantages in explainability, auditability for safety-critical applications, easier integration of regression tests to combat catastrophic forgetting, and more efficient sample use in early learning stages, as demonstrated in broader tests on 57 Atari games. However, the blog acknowledges clear limitations. Programmatic strategies struggle with tasks requiring long-horizon planning or complex perception (e.g., Montezuma's Revenge), areas where neural networks excel. The future vision is a hybrid architecture: specialized neural networks for fast perception (System 1), HL systems for rules, safety, and local recovery (also System 1), and LLM agents providing high-level feedback and learning from the HL system's data (System 2). The core proposition is that in the era of capable coding agents, a significant portion of an AI's learned experience could be maintained as an auditable, evolving software system.

Your Claude Will Dream Tonight, Don't Disturb It

This article explores the recent phenomenon of AI companies increasingly using anthropomorphic language—like "thinking," "memory," "hallucination," and now "dreaming"—to describe machine learning processes. Focusing on Anthropic's newly announced "Dreaming" feature for its Claude Agent platform, the piece explains that this function is essentially an automated, offline batch processing of an agent's operational logs. It analyzes past task sessions to identify patterns, optimize future actions, and consolidate learnings into a persistent memory system, akin to a form of reinforcement learning and self-correction. The article draws parallels to similar features in other AI agent systems like Hermes Agent and OpenClaw, which also implement mechanisms for reviewing historical data, extracting reusable "skills," and strengthening long-term memory. It notes a key difference from human dreaming: these AI "dreams" still consume computational resources and user tokens. Further context is provided by discussing the technical challenges of managing AI "memory" or context, highlighting the computational expense of large context windows and innovations like Subquadratic's new model claiming drastically longer contexts. The core critique argues that this strategic use of human-centric vocabulary does more than market products; it subtly reshapes user perception. By framing algorithms with terms associated with consciousness, companies blur the line between tool and autonomous entity. This linguistic shift can influence user expectations, tolerance for errors, and even perceptions of responsibility when systems fail, potentially diverting scrutiny from the companies and engineers behind the technology. The article concludes by speculating that terms like "daydreaming" for predictive task simulation might be next, continuing this trend of embedding the idea of an "inner life" into computational processes.

Duan Yongping's Bottom-Fishing in CoreWeave Is Turning into a Battleground for Bulls and Bears

CoreWeave's Q1 2026 earnings report has intensified the ongoing bull-bear battle over the AI infrastructure stock. While revenue doubled year-over-year to $2.08B and the firm's remaining performance obligation (RPO) surged to nearly $100B, its net loss more than doubled to $740M. The critical point of contention is profitability: while adjusted EBITDA margin was a robust 56%, the adjusted operating margin collapsed to just 1% due to soaring infrastructure and sales costs. A weaker-than-expected Q2 revenue guidance further triggered an 11.4% single-day stock drop. The bull thesis hinges on CoreWeave's massive order backlog, deep strategic ties with NVIDIA (as a customer, investor, and key supplier), and a diversified client base now including Anthropic and Meta. The bear case focuses on the "scale at all costs" model, where expanding revenue leads to wider losses, ballooning debt ($25B), and massive capital expenditures ($6.8B in Q1). Insider selling by executives contrasts with a notable new investor: Chinese investor Duan Yongping initiated a small position (0.12% of his portfolio) in Q4 2025 near the stock's lows. The coming Q2 report is seen as a key test for management's promise of a profit margin recovery.

CLARITY Act: Banking Trade Groups Push For Yield Agreement Revision – Details

US banking trade groups are urging revisions to the stablecoin yield compromise in the upcoming CLARITY Act ahead of a key committee markup. The Act currently aims to ban all passive, deposit-like interest on stablecoins to prevent competition with traditional bank savings, while allowing rewards tied to active uses like staking or transactions. In a letter, groups including the American Banking Association and Bank Policy Institute proposed stricter language to eliminate perceived loopholes for passive yield and prevent deposit flight from banks. However, these efforts are reportedly viewed as minor by some lawmakers. The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to mark up the bill on May 14, a critical step before it can advance through Congress.
