Solana version MicroStrategy increases holdings by 120,000 SOL, New Hampshire passes Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill丨 Gate Research Institute
Crypto Market Overview
BTC (+2.97%丨 97,416 USDT) Affected by favorable factors such as the easing of tariff policies, the BTC price has risen more than 2.9% in the past 24 hours. From a technical analysis perspective, the BTC candlestick chart shows a bullish arrangement, with a chance to break through the resistance level of 98,000 USDT. According to the MACD indicator, the 5-day moving average has crossed above the 10-day and 30-day moving averages, forming a clear golden cross. In the short term, if the price cannot break through the resistance level of 98,000 USDT, the BTC price may fluctuate between 96,000 and 97,000 USDT, forming a new range.
ETH (+1.54% | Current Price 1,842 USDT) The price of ETH has risen by 1.5% in the last 24 hours, showing a slightly weaker trend compared to BTC. From a technical analysis perspective, the ETH K-line has shown significant fluctuations during its upward arrangement, indicating a more intense battle between bulls and bears. From the box theory perspective, ETH has clearly formed an upper and lower box boundary in the short term, and if it is to break through the resistance level of 1,850 USDT in the future, more positive news needs to be realized.

Hot Coin Observation Litecoin (LTC) was developed by former Google engineer Charlie Lee in 2011 and is one of the most representative encryption currencies. Charlie hoped that Litecoin would become a "lite version of Bitcoin," so he improved Bitcoin's code, significantly increasing Litecoin's transaction speed. Previously, Canary Capital submitted an application for a Litecoin ETF to the SEC, which chose to postpone its decision on the submitted Litecoin (LTC) spot ETF application, leading to a short-term decline in LTC. It has increased by 12.2% in the last 24 hours, marking a rebound after this rapid decline.

Core Data SOL Strategies announced the acquisition of 122,524 SOL tokens at a price of $18,250,730, with an average price of $148.96 per token. Leah Wald, CEO of SOL Strategies, stated that this procurement aligns with the company's strategic plan to expand its validator node operations and ecosystem layout. The company focuses on the Solana ecosystem, with its main businesses covering three areas: enterprise-level validator node operations, strategic holdings of SOL tokens, and technological innovations in Solana. SOL Strategies Inc.(CSE: HODL) is a Canadian investment company, considered the MicroStrategy of the Solana ecosystem. However, Leah Wald has stated that SOL Strategies is a real technology company that aims to achieve growth in a robust manner.
Data Interpretation
This strategic increase in holdings not only strengthens SOL Strategies' position as a core infrastructure provider in the Solana ecosystem, but also, by deeply coordinating capital allocation with node operations and technological innovation, the company is building a more resilient growth flywheel for the Solana ecosystem.
KULR Technology has increased its holdings by 42 BTC, with a year-to-date return of 197.5%
Core Data KULR Technology, a company listed on the NYSE, CEO Michael Mo announced on the X platform an increase in holdings of 42 BTC, valued at approximately 4 million dollars, with an average price of 94,403 dollars, yielding a return of 197.5% on Bitcoin year-to-date. As of May 6, 2025, the company's total Bitcoin holdings reached 716.2 coins, valued at approximately 69 million dollars, with an average purchase price of 96,342 dollars.
Data Interpretation KULR Technology's significant increase in its Bitcoin holdings not only demonstrates the public company's long-term confidence in encryption as a value storage asset but also reflects the accelerated integration of traditional capital with emerging digital assets. When executives of publicly listed companies transparently disclose the details of their encryption operations, this compliant and institutionalized approach to participation is reshaping the investment model in the digital asset market, further pushing Bitcoin into the mainstream financial system.
$TRUMP founding team has obtained over $320 million in fee income
Core Data According to Fortune magazine, blockchain analysis company Chainalysis stated that since the launch of the Trump Memecoin TRUMP earlier this year, its issuing team has earned over $320 million in revenue from transaction fees. On May 5, Trump promoted a TRUMP dinner that will be held on May 22.
Data Interpretation The $TRUMP founding team has already received over $320 million in fees, indicating that capital flows in the crypto market are becoming more diversified, with both institutional and individual investors exploring new profit models. However, the high volatility of Memecoins may still pose significant risks, and investors should remain cautious when investing in Memecoins. 【14】
Alpha Interpretation
New Hampshire becomes the first state in the U.S. to pass a Bitcoin strategic reserve bill
Overview of Details The Governor of New Hampshire signed HB 302, which adopts the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve (SBR) model bill from Satoshi Action. The content of HB 302 allows the state treasury to purchase Bitcoin and top digital assets, authorizing reserves to buy up to $500 billion in Bitcoin (limited to full stop-loss only). The holding limit is 5% of the state's total funds, ensuring that Bitcoin supplements the state's broader investments. It mandates U.S. regulatory custody, with assets required to be held in multi-signature controlled by the state or through U.S. exchange-traded products to maximize security and transparency. It takes effect 60 days after enactment, providing a clear operational framework for reserves and stacks.
Hotspot Interpretation U.S. states are clearly diverging in the process of legislation on bitcoin reserves. Florida officially shelved its Bitcoin Reserve Act (HB 487) on May 3, withdrawing from the legislative race along with six states, including Wyoming and North and South Dakota. At the same time, Arizona is still actively advancing two related bills, South Carolina intends to authorize the Secretary of the Treasury to allocate 10% of state funds to Bitcoin, and Missouri's proposal has entered the House Select Committee stage. This divergent development of the legislative process highlights the stark divergence among states in their attitudes towards cryptocurrency regulation.
The strategic Bitcoin reserve bill (HB 302) passed by New Hampshire is groundbreaking and provides the first operational legislative template for establishing digital currency reserve systems across U.S. states. The bill innovatively stipulates secure custody solutions such as multi-signature cold storage. This breakthrough development could reshape the asset allocation landscape of local governments in the United States, and its demonstration effect may accelerate the legislative process in other states, especially those with sound financial conditions and an open attitude toward financial innovation. 【15】
Tether integrates Chainalysis compliance tools into the Hadron platform to enhance asset tokenization compliance standards
Details Overview Stablecoin issuer Tether has announced the integration of compliance and monitoring tools from the blockchain data platform Chainalysis into its asset tokenization platform Hadron. This integration provides Hadron with institutional-level risk detection, real-time transaction monitoring, and comprehensive Know Your Transaction (KYT) support, aimed at ensuring that platform users comply with global regulatory standards from the outset. Hadron is primarily targeted at institutions, enterprises, and governments, supporting the issuance and management of assets such as stablecoins, bonds, funds, and commodity-backed tokens across multiple blockchains. This upgrade also includes ecosystem-level transaction monitoring, an integrated KYC and KYT framework, and API interfaces for seamless integration with enterprise systems.
Hotspot Interpretation Tether's integration of Chainalysis's compliance monitoring tools into the Hadron platform has significant strategic importance, marking the official entry of institutional-level digital asset services into a "regulatory-friendly" new development stage. This upgrade not only builds a compliance infrastructure for the Hadron platform that covers the entire lifecycle of asset issuance—including real-time KYT monitoring, multi-chain transaction tracking, and API-based risk control systems—but more importantly, it provides institutional clients with tokenization solutions that comply with global regulatory frameworks, effectively lowering the compliance barriers for traditional financial entities entering the digital asset space.
Aave community proposes Aave V3 deployment on Aptos mainnet
Detailed Overview The Aave community proposed the ARFC to "deploy Aave V3 on the Aptos mainnet." The proposal includes deploying Aave V3 on the Aptos mainnet and improving the efficiency, accessibility, and resilience of the Aave V3 protocol through Aptos, enabling Aave to serve a broader audience.
Hotspot Interpretation Aave, as a multi-chain deployed lending protocol, currently supports multiple public chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Sonic, Base, and Polygon, according to Defillama data. The proposal for deploying on the Aptos mainnet means that Aave will once again expand its boundaries, highlighting the protocol's compatibility with the Move language ecosystem in its technical architecture. This deployment will significantly broaden Aave's user coverage, especially attracting a high-performance user base within the Aptos ecosystem, and is expected to bring new growth to the protocol's TVL. The high throughput characteristics of the Aptos mainnet will provide Aave with a better trading experience, further solidifying Aave's leading position in the decentralized lending space.
