The altcoin market is building momentum for a rally, according to CryptoQuant.

On-chain analyst Maartunn noted on X that while new USDT issuance has been quiet in recent days, Bitcoin's rally has continued. He added that this differs from the rally over the past two weeks, which was supported by large-scale USDT minting from Tether. Commenting on this, The Crypto Basic observed that from late 2024 through most of 2025, sharp price increases tended to coincide with surges in USDT issuance. The outlet suggested that these spikes, often occurring just before or during Bitcoin price climbs, indicated that new liquidity was fueling the gains. However, the current situation is different, and a sustained bull market without new stablecoin inflows could point to a stronger, more durable trend.

He noted that SOL is maintaining relative strength against Ethereum (ETH) and Hyperliquid (HYPE) and expects it to be the first to break upwards from its three-month trading range. Wang added that if SOL decisively breaks the $96 level, its next major resistance would be around $120, implying a potential upside of about 25% from its current price. He said he would bet on SOL's breakout as long as Bitcoin does not fall below the $80,000 mark. According to CoinMarketCap, SOL is currently trading at $95, up 0.96%.

Solana has officially begun testing its 'Alpenglow' upgrade, described as the largest consensus algorithm overhaul in the network's history, CoinDesk reported. Anza, one of Solana's core development teams, announced on X today that "Alpenglow is now live on the community test cluster." The move allows validator operators to test Solana's latest consensus system, which combines the existing Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism with TowerBFT and Proof-of-History. According to CoinDesk, the upgrade focuses on replacing major components of the Solana blockchain with a redesigned framework. This is intended to enable validators to communicate and scale blocks more quickly and efficiently, with the ultimate goal of reducing transaction finality times from several seconds to near real-time.

Iran is demanding sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz as part of its latest response to a U.S. proposal to end the war, CNN reported, citing Iranian state media. The strait is located between Iran and Oman at a point where their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) intersect. Its narrowness provides limited room for ships to maneuver and insufficient warning time to evade threats, creating a geographically advantageous position for potential Iranian attacks on vessels. According to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), coastal nations hold sovereign rights for exploring, exploiting, conserving, and managing marine resources within their EEZ. However, the convention also guarantees the right of innocent passage for ships of all nations through territorial waters. While it stipulates that coastal states must not impede the normal passage of foreign vessels, it does permit them to take necessary measures to prevent non-innocent passage under certain circumstances.

Venture capital firm a16z Crypto has explained the reasoning behind its $75 million investment in Circle's new Layer 1 blockchain, Arc, stating that the chain can meet the regulatory and technical demands of large institutions where existing blockchains fall short. According to a16z Crypto partners Ali Yahya and Noah Levine, while stablecoin annual transaction volume has grown to nearly $9 trillion—rivaling Visa and PayPal—the underlying infrastructure was designed for retail investors. They noted that with USDC circulation over $27 billion and most cross-chain liquidity handled by Circle's Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP), Arc is positioned to fill this institutional gap. The firm believes a few blockchains will become the backbone of the global financial system and that Arc is likely to be one of them, citing Circle's hard-to-replicate advantages.
