Solana’s Alpenglow, its biggest network overhaul since 2020, goes live Wednesday

Ripple Prime offers 24/7 swap trading to institutional clients, covering over 100 markets and supporting RLUSD as margin. Trader Virtu has already used this service. Dala Maher, head of digital asset research at HSBC, stated in the report that the service is an evolution rather than a revolution, and warned that limited initial liquidity may constrain large transactions.

BNB Standard, a Nasdaq listed company, announced that it will ring the Nasdaq opening bell on October 26th to celebrate the company's name change and the appointment of a new management team. The CEO of the company will attend together with board members, management team, investors, and ecosystem partners.

Institutions can trade through Ripple Prime and post RLUSD as collateral. Finding enough buyers and sellers for large positions could prove harder.

Alpenglow will replace the voting system Solana has used since 2020, targeting roughly 150-millisecond finality after months of testing that included a failed migration and rollback.
