Filecoin2026-07-18 14:42:01Filecoin’s Solstice draft proposes changes to network reward distributionFilecoin has published draft proposal FIP-0118, outlining a planned overhaul of how rewards are distributed across the network. The proposal would remove the Filecoin Plus verification process and let consensus providers automatically receive full rewards. It also introduces a new role called Service Orchestrators, which would receive part of block rewards to support the sales and service layer aimed at bringing in more paying customers and data. In the draft, on-chain payment volume would replace Fil+ verification as the signal for useful storage. Storage providers would continue to earn rewards through consensus, while a portion of block rewards would be redirected to parties focused on attracting paid demand to the network.450
Stablecoins2026-07-15 09:50:00Binance Research says stablecoins are moving beyond trading rails into savings, payments and on-chain financeBinance Research said in a July 8 report that stablecoins are no longer expanding mainly as liquidity instruments for crypto trading. The report argues that the sector is shifting toward a broader role as digital financial infrastructure, spanning value storage, yield generation, payments, settlement and cross-border treasury management. The report points to several data sets inside the Binance ecosystem and across public blockchains. On Binance, 30% of users with at least $10 in assets now keep more than half of their portfolios in stablecoins, up from 4% in 2020. It also highlights persistent fiat-to-stablecoin premiums across multiple economies, stronger savings demand in emerging markets, and growing use of tokenized Treasury products and structured on-chain yield products. Binance Research also links stablecoin growth to merchant payments, non-dollar stablecoins, weekend settlement activity, AI agent micropayments and on-chain foreign exchange. In its view, the category is becoming less tied to crypto bull and bear cycles and more connected to wider global financial demand. The report says regulation, reserve transparency and macro conditions will still shape how quickly this shift unfolds.1960
