Decrypt is partnering with Jupiter, Solana's leading trading platform, so readers can swap tokens directly from their Decrypt Money Accounts without switching platforms or connecting external wallets. The integration will initially cover a select group of major cryptocurrencies, then expand to the full Solana token ecosystem, tokenized stocks, commodities and real-world assets, along with other Jupiter products such as Earn. The move is part of The Information Exchange, a planned platform combining news, real-time intelligence and markets. Decrypt Money Accounts launched earlier on Solana as a single self-custodial account funded with a USD deposit, and Myriad's prediction markets have already generated more than $600 million in cumulative trading volume.

- Solana Is Faster and Cheaper Than Ethereum. So Why Is ETH Worth 5 Times More?
The article notes that Solana confirms transactions in 150 milliseconds at lower fees than Ethereum, yet Ethereum's $293.5 billion market cap is about 4.8 times Solana's $61.7 billion as of October 22, 2026. Investors favor ETH as a foundation for institutions and tokenized assets, while SOL draws interest mainly for speed and memecoin trading. Ethereum's 30-day chain revenue of $6.3 million is less than 2x Solana's $3.4 million, so the market-value gap suggests speculation plays a large role. U.S. spot Ether ETFs hold $15.4 billion, 9 times the $1.7 billion in Solana ETFs, indicating institutional investors favor Ethereum even more than the broader market.
- Solana plunges as geopolitical tensions overshadow Alpenglow upgrade amid macroeconomic concerns
- Solana Alpenglow Goes Live in 'Most Ambitious' Upgrade Since Ethereum's Merge
Solana's new Alpenglow consensus protocol has gone live on mainnet-beta, replacing TowerBFT, which the network had used since March 2020, according to developer Anza. Transaction finality drops from about 12.8 seconds to roughly 150 milliseconds, a change Anza says matters for exchanges, banks and merchants. The upgrade passed public testing and was approved by validators with 98% of votes in September 2025, while future upgrades such as Rotor and Quantumglow, a post-quantum version, have no committed dates.
- GTA 6 Trailer Features 'Dacity' Meme Coin—Here's What Traders Think It'll Do
The GTA 6 launch trailer briefly mentioned 'Dacity Coin,' and a leaked mission reportedly has the protagonist perform a stunt to pump it. Crypto traders launched an unofficial Solana meme coin of the same name that reached a peak market capitalization of $15 million, betting the in-game coin will be deeply integrated. Some expect it to appear only in side missions, while others think it could be a tradable in-game asset like stocks in GTA V. One trader reported unrealized profits of $285,000 from a $20,000 investment, per Pump.fun, though such gains could fall sharply at any moment, and Rockstar did not comment.
- Better Altcoin Buy: XRP vs. Solana
The article compares XRP and Solana, two top-10 cryptocurrencies by market cap that both have spot ETFs and real-world use cases. XRP rose 580% in 2024 and about 22,000% since it began trading in 2013, driven by Ripple's payment network, but the author argues that stablecoins, a $300 billion industry, are eroding XRP's role in cross-border payments and explain its recent stagnation. Solana gained 924% in 2023 and hit an all-time high of $294 in early 2025, and the author sees it as a rival to Ethereum in DeFi, with the upcoming Alpenglow upgrade expected to speed up processing and raise throughput. The author chooses Solana over XRP because it is a full smart-contract platform that could overtake XRP in market cap as more applications run on it, while noting that investing in Solana carries high risk.
- Solana's Alpenglow, its biggest network overhaul since 2020, goes live Wednesday
Solana will activate Alpenglow, its biggest network overhaul since 2020, on Wednesday. The upgrade moves validator voting off-chain and bundles votes into certificates, targeting finality of about 150 milliseconds versus roughly six seconds today, or about 40 times faster. Validators would pay a flat admission ticket of 0.8 SOL per epoch (about 24 hours) instead of roughly 2 SOL a day in vote fees, a cut of about 60%. The test network was reset six times since early May, and a network-wide migration failed and was rolled back before a later one succeeded, according to Galaxy Digital. The switch starts at epoch 1064, with the actual change at slot 459,653,000.

- Bank Profits Surge
The 9-month 2026 results show many banks continued to grow profits, with some posting record quarterly earnings. VPBank's pre-tax profit reached nearly VND 30,000 billion, up nearly 47%, equal to its full-year 2025 result and about 72.4% of its 2026 plan; Q3 pre-tax profit topped VND 11,000 billion. Techcombank posted VND 28,900 billion (up 23.7%), while LPBank reported VND 10,421 billion (up nearly 9%). SSI forecasts pre-tax profit of its monitored banks to rise 19.5% in 2026 before slowing to 15.4% in 2027, pressured by narrowing net interest margins and rising credit risk provisions.

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes. Spot gold fell more than 2.8% to around USD 4,025 per ounce at the close of 22/10, and briefly dipped below USD 4,000 per ounce in the morning session of 23/10. Tensions in the Middle East pushed crude oil prices higher, raising concerns about inflation and further Fed tightening, and gold has still not attracted sustained safe-haven demand even as US Treasury yields fell. US September CPI rose 0.6% month on month and 3.7% year on year, while PPI rose 1.3% and 6.3%. Markets price about an 84% chance the Fed holds rates steady at its 27-28/10 meeting and a 16% chance of a 25 basis-point increase; September PCE data due on 29/10 is the next key factor to watch.

World gold dropped USD 129 to around USD 3,992 per ounce, equal to about VND 125.3 million per tael, leaving SJC bars about VND 16.7 million per tael above the world price. The State Bank's central rate was set at 25,627 VND/USD, down 5 dong, while Vietcombank quoted 25,660-26,040 VND/USD (buy-sell).
- Company Linked to Billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong Announces Major Good News
VEFAC (ticker VEF), a Vingroup subsidiary, posted Q3 net revenue of nearly VND 77 billion, up 67% year on year, but a gross loss of about VND 27 billion as cost of sales from its exhibition business exceeded revenue. Q3 profit rose mainly thanks to a gross gain of about VND 65 billion from transferring some schools in a project to a partner, while financial income reached over VND 388 billion, mostly from loan and investment income. For the first nine months of 2026, after-tax profit was nearly VND 865 billion, down about 94% from VND 15,418 billion in the same period of 2025, as the prior year included large gains from transferring part of the Vinhomes Global Gate project. As of 30/9/2026, total assets stood at over VND 31,905 billion, up 36% from the start of the year, while total liabilities exceeded VND 24,364 billion, with short-term customer advances rising from VND 411 billion to over VND 8,373 billion.
- Lotte and Phat Dat Officially Break Ground on VND 60,000 Billion Mega Project in Thu Thiem 'Golden Land'

- International Business : Global stocks nosedive as Meta dents AI optimism
Global stocks retreated as tech earnings failed to ease concerns about the AI outlook, with MSCI's All-World index set for its largest daily fall in two weeks, down 0.4 per cent. Meta beat third-quarter revenue expectations, but its plan to issue non-voting stock revived worries about its mounting capital commitments, and a New Mexico judge ordered it to pay a $25 billion penalty in a data privacy case. Brent crude rose nearly 3% to $112 a barrel, near a five-month high, after more Houthi attacks in Saudi Arabia raised supply risks. Investors moved into government bonds, pushing the US 10-year yield down to 5.05%, below France's for the first time in 13 years, while French yields have climbed above 5% amid concerns over social unrest and debt. The France-Germany 10-year spread reached 177.7 basis points, its widest since 2011, while gold fell 1.8% to $4,070 an ounce.
