Polygon (MATIC) Overhauls Strategy, Ant Group Eyes Stablecoins, and Bitcoin (BTC) Upgrades OP_RETURN Limit in Major Crypto Market Shake-Up
According to @timnitGebru, the cryptocurrency market is experiencing several pivotal shifts with significant trading implications. Polygon (MATIC) is undergoing a major strategic overhaul, with co-founder Sandeep Nailwal taking control as CEO of the Polygon Foundation to focus on the AggLayer cross-chain liquidity protocol while retiring its zkEVM network, according to a press release. In a major move for institutional adoption, Ant Group's international unit plans to apply for stablecoin licenses in Hong Kong and Singapore, as reported by Bloomberg. For Bitcoin (BTC), developers confirmed on GitHub that the upcoming Bitcoin Core version 30 will increase the OP_RETURN data limit from 80 bytes to nearly 4MB, a change that could significantly impact how data is stored on the blockchain. Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation has established a new treasury policy, capping annual operational expenses at 15% to ensure long-term sustainability for the Ethereum (ETH) ecosystem, as detailed in a foundation blog post. The Real-World Asset (RWA) sector also saw a key development with Plume launching its Genesis mainnet to bring asset-backed DeFi to the forefront. These developments occur as market data indicates Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $107,043. |
