Sep 3 — Bank stablecoin push, BTC surge and a Solana milestone

• Twenty-one banks including Goldman Sachs and BofA plan a joint dollar stablecoin targeting H1 2027 — tier-one institutional entry could directly challenge USDT and USDC dominance and reshape stablecoin market structure. • Bitcoin surged roughly 21% in 24 hours to near $77,000, holding firm against a 10-year Treasury yield at 4.814% and renewed U.S.-Iran tensions — the resilience signals structural demand with low leverage risk. • Solana validators approved governance proposal SGP-0002 with 72.7% support in the network's first-ever onchain vote — a meaningful step toward decentralized, validator-driven protocol upgrades.
