From sell-offs to staking rewards – Inside Grayscale’s strategic SUI move!

Wall Street is increasingly participating in crypto, with institutions entering risk assets via ETFs. Grayscale launched a staking SUI ETF (GSUI) on February 18, drawing attention to Sui despite its poor performance—down 31% in 2026 after a 57% loss the previous year, erasing all post-election gains. Open interest dropped nearly 30%, indicating reduced trader activity. Amid this bearish trend, Grayscale’s staking ETF offers a twist: investors can stake tokens for rewards, potentially attracting validators and boosting SUI’s DeFi ecosystem. However, challenges remain—Total Value Locked has fallen to $580 million, and 43.35 million SUI tokens unlock on March 1, risking further volatility and a potential drop to $0.70. The ETF’s ability to revive SUI’s ecosystem is uncertain under current pressures.

Mar-a-Lago Secret Meeting: What Are They Plotting?

A private forum was held at Mar-a-Lago, hosted by the Trump family's DeFi project, World Liberty Financial (WLFI). Attendees included top Wall Street executives (Goldman Sachs CEO, Nasdaq Chair), crypto leaders (Coinbase founder), regulators (CFTC Chair), and celebrities. Discussions focused on WLFI’s initiatives: expanding its USD1 stablecoin into institutional use via a partnership with Apex Group, tokenizing real estate assets (Trump Maldives resort), and developing a foreign exchange platform. Critics raised concerns over ethical conflicts and potential foreign influence, citing a $500M investment linked to Abu Dhabi. WLFI token has fallen 69% from its peak, with 80% of tokens still locked. The event highlights the merging of political influence, finance, and crypto under the Trump brand.

Aptos unveils deflationary tokenomics shift as APT price slides

Aptos has announced a major overhaul of its tokenomics, shifting from an inflationary model to a deflationary, performance-driven framework. This change aims to reduce long-term token supply as network activity increases. The update comes as APT trades near $0.88, continuing a broader downtrend. Key changes include cutting annual staking rewards from 5.19% to 2.6%, introducing a hard supply cap of 2.1 billion APT (with 1.196B currently circulating), and permanently locking 210 million APT (18% of current supply) for staking. A major reduction in token unlocks (roughly 60%) is also expected by October 2026. Despite these significant structural shifts designed to tighten supply, the market reaction has been muted, with price action remaining weak as traders focus on broader risk conditions rather than long-term tokenomics narratives.

A new, unified stack for Base: What’s changing and why it matters

Base is transitioning from the OP Stack to a new, unified, Base-operated stack to gain greater control over its software lifecycle. This shift, occurring over the coming months, will centralize its code and releases into a single repository (base/base). Node operators must now follow Base's own, faster release schedule instead of Optimism's. While Base will continue collaborating with Optimism as an OP Enterprise client, the move aims to accelerate innovation, improve scaling, and strengthen security by reducing external dependencies. The change reflects a broader trend of maturing L2 networks seeking tighter operational control for more rapid and reliable upgrades.

Jito jumps 11% as new Solana market layer fuels demand: Is $0.50 next?

Jito (JTO) surged 11% following its announcement of building a new market layer on the Solana network, signaling strong market optimism. The rally was supported by significant whale accumulation and a technical breakout above the key $0.311 resistance level, confirming a bullish structural shift. Despite signs of overheating in spot trading volume and a potential short-term pullback indicated by the stochastic RSI, momentum remains strong. A liquidity cluster near $0.50 is now a key target if bullish conditions persist, driven by sustained whale support and trading activity. The token’s performance reflects both fundamental catalysts and strong market participation.

PumpMarket Debuts Crypto-Native Prediction Market, Starting With Pump.fun Token Graduations

PumpMarket has launched its devnet, introducing a crypto-native prediction market specifically designed for Pump.fun token graduations. Unlike general prediction markets, it focuses on binary, on-chain outcomes like whether a token will graduate to a decentralized exchange within a one-hour window. Users can stake SOL on YES or NO outcomes without needing to own the underlying tokens, using a parimutuel pool model where winnings are distributed among correct predictors. Built on Solana, the platform leverages real-time on-chain data for transparent resolution and eliminates execution risks associated with spot trading. Future plans include expanding to other prediction categories and ecosystems, with a mainnet launch following the devnet testing phase.

Ozak AI’s Presale Capital Intake Is Scaling Faster Than Early BNB Did Before Its 300× Market Expansion

BNB once achieved a 300x market expansion, a trajectory that Ozak AI is now mirroring with its presale capital intake. The AI-powered cryptocurrency, OZ, has raised over $6.14 million by selling more than 1.12 billion tokens, outpacing earlier phases. Investors are drawn by a potential 71x ROI, aiming for a $1 token value, with projections suggesting a 400x–500x surge thereafter. Comparisons are drawn to BNB, which started at $0.1152 and now trades at $889.35, delivering over 7,717x ROI. Key factors driving Ozak AI’s growth include its AI-powered ecosystem, the recent launch of the Dune Analytics Dashboard for transparent presale data, and the Ozak Streaming Network (OSN) for real-time financial insights. Strategic partnerships, such as with Phala Network, enhance its market recognition by combining Prediction Agents with secure AI infrastructure for financial market predictions. With presale scaling faster than BNB’s early days, Ozak AI is positioned for significant market expansion, supported by technological advancements and growing industry alliances.

Pump.fun Launches Trader Cashbacks in Fee Model Shift

Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has introduced a new Trader Cashback system, shifting its fee model. Token creators must now choose between the traditional Creator Fees or the new cashback option before launch, a decision that is irreversible. Under the cashback model, traders earn automatic rewards on every trade made through Pump.fun's Terminal interface, aiming to better distribute incentives and reward active market participants rather than just deployers. This change comes as the platform experiences a significant revenue decline, with fees dropping 75.6% in January from its peak. On-chain data highlights a profitability disparity, as only a small fraction of the millions of interacting wallets have earned substantial profits. The community reaction is mixed; some welcome the trader-focused incentives, while others worry it may reduce developer promotion post-launch. This move reflects a broader industry trend of platforms testing new incentive models to boost participation and confidence in the volatile memecoin market.

Zora Launches Solana-Based Attention Markets to Revolutionize Trend Trading

On February 17, Zora launched "attention markets" on the Solana blockchain, marking a significant shift from its previous Ethereum and Base-based operations. This new product enables users to trade tokens based on internet trends and social media topics, allowing them to buy or sell based on whether they believe a trend will grow or fade. Anyone can create a new market by paying a 1 SOL fee. Initial trading activity was limited, with tokens like bitcoin, cats, and dogs among the first trends. The main token reached a market value of around $70,000. The crypto community had mixed reactions, with some supporting the move to Solana and others questioning the departure from Ethereum. While experts warn of high risk due to low liquidity and potential volatility, supporters see it as an innovative way to measure public interest by blending social media trends with on-chain trading.
