qfx predictability (institutional adoption prerequisite) and client diversity (decentralization concern). Delphi Digital dubbed 2026 the “Year of Solana.” Kevin Warsh, who holds SOL, was sworn in as Federal Reserve Chair on May 23, 2026.
This announcement marks the third milestone in a seven-part plan to improve the TON network. Transaction fees have been dramatically reduced – falling six times to around $0.0005, and are now consistent even during peak times. As a result, the value of Toncoin increased from $1.30 to $1.80 in just one day, and continued to climb to $2.151 over the week, accompanied by $191.83 million in staking activity in a single day. These changes represent a substantial and positive shift for the network.
When the television crew from CNBC filmed a quick chat, the bank’s private‑wealth sorceress, Kathleen Entwistle, floated in with a grin that could outshine a hundred espresso shots.

The final full week of May was like a crypto circus, complete with IPO tightropes, stablecoin juggling acts, and regulators playing the role of grumpy clowns. Several of the industry’s most dramatic legal battles are finally winding down, while policymakers and financial institutions are now asking the big questions: “What’s a blockchain?” and “Can we tax this?” Meanwhile, major crypto firms are dusting off their top hats and canes, ready to tap dance into public markets.
Following Hyperliquid’s audacious leap, the crypto circus welcomed its imitators. ASTER, the native token of the Aster decentralized perpetual exchange, strutted onto the stage with all the confidence of a tightrope walker who’s never fallen. Its open interest climbed into the billions, a feat that, while impressive, still leaves it in the shadow of Hyperliquid’s towering success.
