Odaily Planet Daily reports that the number of active validators on Solana has fallen below 800, returning to 2021 levels. This data represents a decline of over 65% from the peak of approximately 2,500 validators at the beginning of 2023. Validator voting transaction volume has decreased from about 300,000 transactions per day to 170,000, a 40% drop. The main reasons for validator attrition include changes in economic benefits, such as the decreasing voting cost support provided by the Solana Foundation Delegation Program and the diminishing staking matching policies over time. Despite the reduction in validator numbers, user-initiated DApp interactions and token transfer volumes remain stable, totaling approximately 100 million transactions daily.

The Endgame of "Coin Hoarding Company": Liquidation or Self-Rescue?

Just over a year ago, for many companies seeking to boost their stock prices, becoming a cryptocurrency reserve company (DAT) seemed like an easy decision.
Some Microsoft shareholders convened meetings to ask the board to evaluate the benefits of including some Bitcoin on the balance sheet. They even mentioned Strategy, which is the largest publicly listed Bitcoin DAT.
At that time, a financial flywheel was in place, attracting everyone to follow.
Buying large amounts of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana (SOL). Watching the stock price exceed the value of these assets. Issuing more shares at a premium. Using that money to buy more cryptocurrencies. Cycle repeats. This financial flywheel supporting publicly listed stocks seemed almost perfect, enough to tempt investors. They paid over two dollars just to indirectly acquire Bitcoin worth only one dollar.
