## ETH Microstrategies

Since 2025, four US-listed companies represented by SharpLink Gaming, Bitmine Immersion Tech, Bit Digital and BTCS Inc. have built a "ETH micro-strategy" that is different from MicroStrategy's holding paradigm by purchasing ETH on a large scale and staking on the chain.

SharpLink Gaming (SBET) has acquired \~79949 ETH for \~$259M between July 14\~20, bringing total ETH holdings to \~360807\. It now holds more ETH than any other entity in the world, including the Ethereum Foundation. The capital market seems to be positive to this ETH strategy.

## More stablecoins accepted by Binance as collateral

Circle on Thursday [announced](https://www.circle.com/pressroom/circles-usyc-now-supported-as-yield-bearing-off-exchange-collateral-for-binances-institutional-clients?ref=blog.1token.tech) that the world's biggest crypto exchange would begin accepting USYC, a type of stablecoin that shares yield with investors, as collateral from institutional clients. While the news will be of interest primarily to a niche subset of traders, the new arrangement is significant as another step in the rapid integration of the traditional and crypto realms of finance.

On Thursday, Binance also [announced](https://www.binance.com/en/support/announcement/detail/4107094f14024afbbf5145591b66a07b?ref=blog.1token.tech) that it would likewise be integrating cUSDO, another yield-bearing stablecoin; cUSDO (a.k.a. OpenEden OpenDollar) is issued by OpenEden Digital, a Bermuda-licensed and regulated entity.

## Solana to increase to 100M compute units for higher capacity

Solana’s core development team is preparing to significantly raise the network’s computational capacity with a new proposal. The Solana compute unit limit increase aims to meet the growing demands of high-performance decentralized applications (dApps).

Specifically, Solana developers propose increasing the network's block capacity by 66% to meet growing demand for block space. The new proposal, SIMD-0286, suggests raising the per-block compute limit from 60 million to 100 million compute units.
