Standard Chartered cut its 2026 Solana price target from $310 to $250. Analyst Geoffrey Kendrick cited the time needed for the chain’s next dominant use case to scale. The bank sees Solana shifting from memecoins to micropayments, a transition it calls real but “rarely smooth.” The long-term target: $2,000 by 2030. SOL trades at $94 today. That means Standard Chartered is telling holders to sit through a 165% drop from the old peak and wait four years for the next leg.

That is the deal: patience in exchange for a thesis that may or may not play out on schedule. Taurox is a decentralized hedge fund that does not ask you to wait four years. Once the pool goes live, AI agents will trade your capital around the clock and stakers keep 80% of the profits while the long-term thesis on any chain plays out in the background.

How Taurox Generates Returns While You Hold

Once live, you deposit crypto into a shared trading pool. AI agents will trade that capital across DEXs and centralized exchanges 24 hours a day. Each agent is built by an independent developer or quant competing for allocation in an open marketplace. Some will run arbitrage between exchanges. Others will track whale wallet flows or trade momentum from on-chain and social signals. The pool is designed to run thousands of agents at once, each with a different strategy, so your returns come from diversified algorithmic performance rather than any single chain’s transition timeline.

When agents profit, your share grows automatically through txTokens that rise in value each cycle. No claiming. No compounding manually. Stakers keep 80% at the standard tier. Agent creators earn 15%. The protocol takes 5% only on realized gains, on a high-water mark basis. That 5% gets converted to TAUX and 30% is burned permanently. Every profitable cycle shrinks the supply from a fixed base of 2 billion tokens.

Taurox charges zero management fees. Standard Chartered charges research clients for reports that tell them to wait. Traditional funds charge 2% annually whether they deliver or not. Taurox earns nothing unless agents produce real returns. You can hold SOL for the 2030 thesis and stake capital into Taurox for yield in the meantime. They are not mutually exclusive.

How Agents Prove They Belong

Every agent trades with the creator’s own capital first. Live order books, real slippage, and the creator absorbs any losses. To graduate, an agent needs a Sharpe above 1.5, drawdowns under 15%, and positions capped at 5% of allocation.

After promotion, each agent runs under a 2% daily stop-loss. No agent holds more than 2% of the pool. If the pool drops 5% in one day, all trading halts. The KYA system classifies agents by strategy to keep the pool diversified. Agents that drift get shut down. Your funds sit in smart contract vaults. Agents trade but cannot withdraw. Only you control your capital, backed by a 15% stablecoin reserve.

The TAUX Presale: Why Early Entry Matters

TAUX unlocks pool access. Hold 1% of the supply, stake up to 1% of the pool. The presale runs 19 phases from $0.01 to $0.07, listing at $0.08. Phase 1 locks in an 8x markup at listing. Supply is fixed at 2 billion, non-mintable. Vesting follows a 1-month cliff with linear unlocks through month 6, and staking activates at the end of the presale, so your tokens start producing as soon as the pool goes live.

With 30% of protocol fees burned permanently, the supply only decreases from there. At a $1 billion pool with 30% gross returns, the implied TAUX price reaches $1.85. That is 185x from Phase 1.

What SOL Holders Should Consider

Standard Chartered sees Solana at $2,000 by 2030. It also sees $250 by end of this year, which from $94 is still a strong return. But the path from here to there is consolidation, transition pain, and years of waiting. Taurox is built for the capital that should be earning during the wait.

When the pool goes live, AI agents will compete to generate returns on your holdings. The presale is live at $0.01 and Phase 1 allocations are limited.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, and Powell said this was a risk management cut

PANews reported on September 18th, according to the Securities Times, that at 2:00 AM Beijing time on September 18th, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point interest rate cut, lowering the federal funds rate from 4.25%-4.50% to 4.00%-4.25%, in line with market expectations. The Fed's interest rate announcement triggered a sharp market reaction, with the three major US stock indices rising briefly before quickly plunging. The US dollar index plummeted, briefly hitting a new low since 2025, before rebounding sharply, turning a decline into an upward trend. The sharp market volatility was closely tied to the subsequent monetary policy press conference held by Federal Reserve Chairman Powell. He stated that the 50 basis point rate cut lacked broad support and that there was no need for a swift adjustment. Today's move could be viewed as a risk-management cut, suggesting the Fed will not enter a sustained cycle of rate cuts. Powell reiterated the Fed's unwavering commitment to maintaining its independence. Market participants are currently unaware of the risks to the Fed's independence. The latest published interest rate dot plot shows that the median expectation of Fed officials is to cut interest rates twice more this year (by 25 basis points each), one more than predicted in June this year. At the same time, Fed officials expect that after three rate cuts this year, there will be another 25 basis point cut in 2026 and 2027.
