NEAR forum proposal seeks to cut token issuance rate to 1.6% over 24 months

A new proposal has been posted on the NEAR governance forum calling for a reduction in the NEAR token issuance rate from 2.5% to 1.6% over a 24-month period. The proposal was put forward by Sal Ternullo, CEO of Svrn AI, and also points to a longer-term direction of moving toward a fixed total supply. It is now open for discussion among validators, House of Stake representatives, and the broader NEAR community. Separately, NEAR said the recent NEAR Intents incident did not involve any vulnerability in NEAR Protocol or the native NEAR token. According to the official statement, the network kept producing blocks and processing transactions throughout the period, with zero downtime.

NEAR proposal seeks lower annual token issuance cap as protocol clarifies Intents incident

NEAR Protocol said a new governance proposal has been introduced by Sal Ternullo, CEO of NEAR treasury company SVRN, to cut NEAR’s maximum annual token issuance rate from 2.5% to 1.6% for 24 months. Under the proposal, staking yield would fall from about 5.4% to about 3.5%. The plan is now being circulated for feedback from validators, House of Stake delegators, and broader community members, with a full version expected next week for a formal vote.

Michael Saylor says digital tokens could help fund 10 million new companies

Michael Saylor said digital tokens could help 10 million new companies raise capital as artificial intelligence changes how businesses are built. He argued that token issuance rules should be simplified, while disclosure standards and anti-fraud protections remain in place. Saylor, executive chairman of Bitcoin treasury company Strategy Inc., said companies could issue tokens under rules tailored to different issuance types, with disclosure requirements matched to the level of risk. In his view, that structure could cut legal costs without removing ownership protections or fraud accountability. Separately, according to Bitcoin.com News, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has put forward crypto issuance exemption proposals. One would allow eligible issuers to raise up to $5 million over four years, while another would permit fundraising of up to $75 million every 12 months. Both proposals are still at the proposal stage and would still require disclosure and anti-fraud safeguards.

PAID says $1.44 million has been distributed to Xmoney users as market cap tops $40 million

PAID said it has distributed $1.44 million to Xmoney users through its automated fee-splitting tool for token creators, according to an official announcement cited by ChainCatcher. The project had earlier launched a token issuance feature on Pons on the 19th. Under PAID’s stated fee structure, 80% of fees are sent to X users through X Money, while the remaining 20% is converted into SOL to buy back PAID tokens. The company also said issuers can send fees through X Money by adding an X Handle in a project’s text description, and that celebrities on X can receive fund distributions through X Money without registering for Paid or giving prior consent. Separately, market information showed PAID’s market capitalization on Solana had exceeded $40 million, with a gain of more than 360% over the past 24 hours and trading volume reaching $32.8 million over the same period. On-chain data also showed DeGods founder Frank DeGods bought PAID about four days ago, spending roughly $145,000 to $169,000 and holding tens of millions of tokens.

Genius. fun says new token contracts on its platform will end in 6666

Genius. fun, the token issuance platform under on-chain trading terminal Genius Terminal, said newly launched tokens on the platform will carry contract addresses ending in 6666. The announcement was reported by BlockBeats on Sept. 22. Genius Terminal is backed by YZi Labs, with CZ serving as an advisor. According to co-founder Ryan Myher, the change came from community demand for clearer differentiation between Genius. fun and Genius Terminal. The move is framed as a branding marker rather than a technical change, with the 6666 suffix set to become a recognizable identifier for tokens issued through Genius. fun going forward.
