SharpLink Expands Ethereum Treasury to 837,230 ETH
BeInCrypto, about 6 hours ago
SharpLink Gaming (SBET) disclosed that it purchased more than $176 million in ETH during the final week of August. The acquisition raised its total stash to 837,230 ETH, valued at nearly $3.6 billion as of August 31. While its ETH strategy draws attention, the company’s stock performance has offered little excitement for investors, particularly as September began with a waning risk appetite for equities and other volatile assets. SharpLink’s $176 Million Ether Buying Spree SharpLink, the Minnesota-based firm, bought 39,008 ETH between August 25 and August 31 at an average price of $4,531. The purchases were partly funded by $46.6 million raised through its at-the-market (ATM) equity program. SharpLink reported its ETH concentration ratio—measuring digital assets relative to cash—jumped to 3.94, nearly doubling since early June. At this level, the company holds close to four dollars of ether for every dollar of cash on hand, assuming full deployment of its remaining $71.6 million liquidity. Cumulative staking rewards have reached 2,318 ETH since the firm launched its Ethereum-denominated treasury strategy on June 2. Co-CEO Joseph Chalom said, “We continue to execute our treasury strategy with precision, growing our ETH holdings and consistently earning staking rewards. We remain opportunistic in our capital raising initiatives and will closely monitor market conditions to maximize shareholder value.” Weekly ETH and Capital Summary / Source: SharpLink SharpLink’s transformation into an Ethereum treasury vehicle accelerated in May after a $425 million private investment round led by Consensys, Galaxy Digital, ParaFi Capital, Ondo, and Pantera Capital. That same month, Consensys founder Joseph Lubin was appointed Chairman, solidifying the company’s pivot away from its prior focus on gambling marketing technology. Stocks Swing as Ether Treasuries Balloon Despite its aggressive buying, SharpLink’s stock has been volatile. SBET traded at $16.98 on Tuesday, down nearly 5% on the day, though the shares have risen more than 400% since mid-May, when they traded below $3. SBET stock performance YTD / Source: Google Finance On the same day, BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), which is also pursuing an Ethereum-based treasury strategy, said it holds about 1.87 million ETH — the world’s largest corporate Ether treasury — and traded at $42.49, down 2.59% from the previous day. Meanwhile, Ethereum traded at $4,343, up 0.3% from 24 hours earlier, down about 11.4% since topping $4,900 on August 24.

Solana Bulls Eye $300 as Alpenglow Upgrade Sparks Institutional Interest
NewsBTC, about 7 hours ago
Solana (SOL) has staged a recovery after testing support at $195, with traders closely watching the $205–$215 resistance zone. A decisive break above this level could open the door for a surge toward $225 and beyond. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mirrors Historical Pullback Ranges – Healthy Correction Or Trouble Ahead? Analysts highlight that technical signals are aligning with renewed buying pressure from whales and “shark” wallets, suggesting confidence in Solana’s medium-term trajectory. Despite volatility in August, Solana’s price has held above the critical $183–$190 range, forming a base for potential upside. Futures trading volumes exceeding $50 billion further underscore the renewed investor interest. Analysts argue that if momentum continues, Solana could push toward $250 before testing the psychological $300 mark. Alpenglow Upgrade Fuels Institutional Confidence The biggest catalyst behind Solana’s bullish narrative is its Alpenglow upgrade, a game-changing overhaul that has transformed network performance. Block finality has been slashed to 100–150 milliseconds, while throughput now exceeds 107,000 transactions per second (TPS), outpacing Ethereum and even legacy systems like Visa. Key innovations include Votor, an off-chain validation process that reduces bottlenecks, and Rotor, a stake-weighted relay system that cuts latency by 40%. Together, they solve long-standing institutional pain points around speed and reliability. Validator costs have also dropped dramatically, from $60,000 annually to just $1,000, improving decentralization while opening the door for high-frequency trading, tokenized settlements, and real-time DeFi applications. For institutions, the 20+20 resilience model, ensuring operations continue even with 40% validator failures, cements Solana’s reputation as a Nasdaq-grade blockchain infrastructure. With 99.6% validator approval, the upgrade positions Solana as one of the most robust and cost-efficient blockchains available. SOL's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: SOLUSD on Tradingview Whale Accumulation and Solana Path to $300 Institutional flows are echoing the bullish momentum. Galaxy Digital recently moved $103 million worth of SOL to Coinbase, sparking speculation about shifting strategies. Meanwhile, hedge funds like Pantera Capital are preparing fresh allocations into Solana’s ecosystem, reinforcing confidence in its long-term growth. At the same time, “shark” wallets have quietly accumulated at key support levels, reflecting strong conviction in Solana’s long-term growth. Analysts caution that failure to clear the $215 resistance could trigger a retest of the $190 zone, but consensus remains that a breakout is likely if accumulation continues. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bull Run Could Start On September 13, Analyst Predicts A sustained move above $215 could open the path toward $250, $295, and ultimately $300.

Japan Considers Merging Crypto Oversight Into Securities Law, Faces Pushback
BeInCrypto, about 7 hours ago
Japan’s government is considering incorporating cryptocurrencies into the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA), a move away from their current classification under the Payment Services Act. The move seeks to strengthen investor protection and align crypto oversight with securities regulation, though the advisory council remains concerned about the potential risks of extending this framework too broadly. Japan Considers Major Shift in Crypto Regulation The Financial Services Agency (FSA) presented a proposal during a Financial System Council working group on September 2 to regulate cryptocurrencies under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act (FIEA). Currently, crypto assets are governed by the Payment Services Act, but the agency believes shifting oversight to the FIEA would better address their rising role as investment products. Under the new framework, cryptocurrencies would be classified alongside securities, subjecting issuers and exchanges to stricter requirements. The FSA argued that tighter rules would deter market misconduct while ensuring transparency for investors. To balance this change, the Payment Services Act provisions would be removed to avoid overlapping business compliance burdens. The agency emphasized that crypto’s role in payment transactions would remain intact even under securities law. However, firms offering tokens must provide detailed disclosures about price volatility, reliability, and associated risks. The FSA will submit a legislative amendment to the ordinary Diet session next year. Skepticism from Experts on IEOs The proposal prompted debate within the meeting. Following industry group presentations, some members questioned whether incorporating cryptocurrencies into securities regulation is right. Naoyuki Iwashita, a Kyoto University professor and former director at the Bank of Japan’s Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies, noted that primary tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum may not matter significantly whether they fall under the FIEA or Payment Services Act. Still, he raised concerns about extending the securities framework to all crypto assets. Iwashita focused on Initial Exchange Offerings (IEOs) in Japan, citing data from the Japan Crypto Asset Business Association (JCBA). He pointed out that nearly all domestic IEOs have lost substantial value, with some tokens losing over 90% of their issuance price, leaving them “virtually worthless.” He said that labeling such assets as securities suitable for public investment under the FIEA would be “unthinkable.”

Solana Approves Alpenglow Upgrade: Price Jumps 6.5%
BeInCrypto, about 8 hours ago
Solana has approved the long-anticipated Alpenglow upgrade, which is set to speed up transactions and dramatically strengthen the network’s performance. Developers and investors describe it as the most significant rewrite in the blockchain’s history. On the same day, Solana’s price rose 6.5% over 24 hours, approaching $210. Traders reacted positively to the governance outcome. Analysts highlighted the upgrade’s potential to boost adoption and institutional confidence. 98% of Validators Approve Alpenglow Upgrade The governance process concluded on Tuesday with strong participation, surpassing the 33% quorum threshold required for adoption. According to Solana Foundation data, 98.27% of votes favored the proposal, 1.05% opposed it, and 0.69% abstained. Validators voted on SIMD-0326, the Solana Improvement Proposal drafted by research firm Anza, which introduced Alpenglow. The protocol replaces TowerBFT and Proof-of-History with Votor and Rotor, two components built for efficiency and resilience. Solana’s upgrade will reduce transaction finality from the current 12.8 seconds under TowerBFT to about 100–150 milliseconds. This upgrade marks a major performance shift, bringing Solana closer to Web2 speeds and enabling faster, safer exchange deposits. “At these speeds, Solana could realize Web2-level responsiveness with L1 finality, unlocking new use cases that require both speed and cryptographic certainty,” the Solana Foundation wrote in an August 21 blog post. Alpenglow introduces Votor, a direct-vote system that finalizes blocks through single or dual-round processes, slashing finality times to near-instant levels. Rotor replaces Proof-of-History, handling validator timestamping and cutting the time required for data transfers. In short, the upgrade eliminates bandwidth-heavy gossip traffic, enabling validators to exchange votes directly through cryptographic aggregates. This design reduces computational overhead, improves bandwidth efficiency, and strengthens security guarantees. Anza Lead Economist Max Resnick noted that users will notice the difference immediately: “The biggest difference users will feel right away will be a reduction in confirmation latency to approximately 150–200 milliseconds.” Additionally, Alpenglow changes Solana’s economic model by moving validator voting off-chain. Instead of submitting vote transactions for every slot, validators pay a Validator Admission Ticket of 1.6 SOL each epoch. This change removes voting-related fees, reduces bandwidth usage, and preserves economic barriers that secure the validator set. Solana $215 Breakout Ahead? Following the news, Solana’s price climbed 6.5% over 24 hours to $209. This increase outpaced Bitcoin’s 2.1% rebound and Ethereum’s 0.6% recovery during the same period. SOL performance over one month / Source: Beincrypto Analysts suggest the upgrade could boost Solana’s appeal to developers and institutions. Shawn Young of MEXC Research projected that SOL could reach $215 by late September and $250 by year’s end, citing technical improvements and institutional treasury holdings surpassing $1.7 billion. Alpenglow will debut on testnet by the Solana Breakpoint conference in December 2025, and a full mainnet rollout is planned for the first quarter of 2026.
