作为开放网络 2025 年路线图的一部分，TON 计划推出第 2 层支付网络。 根据 TON Core 分享的最新消息，TON 原始白皮书中设想的第 2 层支付网络是 2025 年上半年的关键目标之一。 该项目的目标包括加速器主网升级，这将引入诸如分片链跟踪优化和验证器功能分离等变化。这种分离将验证分为两个角色：收集者和验证者。收集者将收集交易并生成候选区块，而验证者将验证区块。 侧链研究、通过 TON 传送端口支持 Toncoin (TON) 和比特币 (BTC) 之间的无信任桥接以及用户界面改进也是该流程中的重要里程碑。 TON 还通过与 Axelar、LayerZero 和 Wormhole 的合作，优先提高互操作性。在最近的更新中，Telegram 宣布 TON Connect 将作为将 TON 与 Telegram 小程序集成的主要网关。 阅读更多：TON 成为 Telegram 小程序的专属区块链 L2支付网络 未来的发展计划包括进一步测试原型以及增加对额外货币和掉期的支持。 阅读更多：MyTonWallet 在最新更新中引入了 NFT 卡定制功能

SharpLink Gaming is raising $425 million in a private placement to adopt Ethereum as its primary treasury asset, with Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin joining as Chairman. The PIPE (private investment in public equity) round includes 69.1 million shares priced at $6.15 each ($6.72 for management), with Consensys Software Inc., founded by Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin, as the lead investor.  Other participants include leading crypto venture firms like ParaFi Capital, Pantera, Electric Capital, Galaxy Digital, and Arrington Capital, according to a company release.  Upon closing, SharpLink plans to adopt Ethereum (ETH) as its primary treasury reserve asset, a strategy reminiscent of MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin play. SharpLink Gaming shares surged over 420% in pre-market trading on May 27, jumping from $6.72 to $34.75 following the news. The company said it will continue to serve the U.S. sports betting and global iGaming markets, but the ETH strategy signals a dual identity as a public vehicle with crypto exposure. “This is a significant milestone in SharpLink’s journey,” said CEO Rob Phythian. “We look forward to working with Consensys and welcoming Joseph to the Board.” You might also like:WinnerMining launches efficient cloud mining amid 2025 Bitcoin Conference Joseph Lubin to join the company’s Board  Joseph Lubin will become Chairman of the Board after the deal closes, marking a deeper alignment between SharpLink and the Ethereum ecosystem.  “This is an exciting time for the Ethereum community,” said Lubin. “We look forward to working with SharpLink to explore and develop their Ethereum Treasury Strategy.” The offering was conducted in reliance on private placement exemptions and includes a registration rights agreement for resale of the shares. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners acted as sole placement agent. The move positions SharpLink as one of the first public companies to center its treasury around Ethereum, signaling a new investment thesis for traditional investors seeking ETH exposure.  You might also like:Circle’s IPO returns with NYSE filing and $24-$26 share range

The UK government has ruled out creating national cryptocurrency reserves at the moment.   Economic Secretary to the Treasury Emma Reynolds expressed negative sentiment towards a Bitcoin (BTC) reserve at the FT Digital Asset Summit in London.  Responding to questions about whether the UK would follow the U.S. approach of holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet, Reynolds stated, “We don’t think that’s appropriate for our market.” While dismissing the idea of crypto reserves, Reynolds signaled the UK’s openness to leveraging blockchain technology for government finance. She revealed that the government is exploring the use of distributed ledger technology for sovereign debt issuance. Reynolds, former parliamentary secretary at the Treasury, was appointed economic secretary following Tulip Siddiq’s resignation. Reynolds was set to oversee the U.K.’s crypto regulation efforts and central bank digital currency plans.  Her appointment came as the government continued pushing for stricter compliance in crypto while aiming to position the U.K. as a digital asset hub.

Standard Chartered believes that Solana will likely underperform Ethereum in the coming years due to its overreliance on memecoins. Investment bank Standard Chartered sees Solana (SOL) almost doubling by the end of the year. Still, even at those levels, it will likely underperform Ethereum (ETH). On Tuesday, May 27, Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s Head of FX and Digital Assets Research, shared his insights on Solana over the next two to three years. Kendrick projects Solana could reach $275 by the end of 2025, up from its current level of $176.72. By 2029, Solana could trade as high as $500. However, this trajectory would still likely see the asset underperform Ethereum. In comparison, Ethereum is forecast to rise to $4,000 by the end of 2025 and to $7,500 by 2029.

He described this as a “double-edged sword,” noting that while memecoins may boost Solana in the short term, growth in the sector is likely to stall going forward. “Going forward, I think we are past peak-memecoin,” Kendrick said, adding that while Solana has demonstrated strong technical performance, memecoins now present a risk factor. He noted that the market is “applying a quantifiable discount” to Solana’s application-layer revenue due to slowing growth in this sector.

In March, Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood echoed the sentiment by Standard Chartered, stating that most memecoin will likely become worthless at some point. However, she expressed positive sentiment toward both Ethereum and Solana, stating that these tokens will only strengthen over time.
