According to TFN, London-based fintech giant Revolut is considering a dual listing in London and New York, with a valuation of $75 billion. If successful, the company would become the first company to simultaneously list in New York and join the FTSE 100. Such a deal would place Revolut among London's 15 most valuable companies. Despite ongoing speculation, Revolut is not rushing into an IPO. The company is currently focusing on secondary share sales, with a valuation already at $75 billion. Analysts believe fintech companies may prefer to establish a solid foundation before entering the public markets. A key step is the launch of a UK bank. After receiving approval from the Bank of England last year, the bank remains in its testing phase. Revolut founder Nik Storonsky has prioritized the bank's launch, believing it is central to achieving his goal of 100 million customers globally. Only after achieving this goal can Revolut fully turn its attention to a public listing.
According to the Financial Times, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has pledged to seek minimal regulation of Wall Street and expedite approval of President Trump's proposal to abolish quarterly corporate reporting. SEC Chairman Paul S. Atkins, appointed by Trump this spring, said today that he would consider replacing the current three-monthly reporting requirement for public companies with semiannual corporate reporting. "Government should provide the minimum level of effective regulation to protect investors while allowing businesses to thrive," he said. The Trump administration is taking a more business-friendly stance while seeking greater control over independent federal agencies.

The community of the Bitcoin staking protocol Babylon recently released a new proposal, "Reduce Inflation and Introduce Joint Staking," aimed at adjusting the BABY token economics, including reducing inflation and introducing BTC-BABY joint staking. The proposal proposes reducing inflation by approximately 30%, from 8% per year to 5.5%, with the following distribution: ① 1% goes to Bitcoin (BTC) stakers, who receive commissions from finality providers; ② 2% goes to BABY stakers, who receive commissions from CometBFT validators. ③ An additional 2.35% goes to BTC stakers who stake both BTC and BABY as joint staking rewards. For every 20,000 BABY staked, one staked BTC is eligible for joint staking rewards. ④ Due to limitations in the Cosmos SDK, finality providers and CometBFT validators cannot receive commissions from joint staking rewards. To compensate for this limitation, 0.075% is distributed to active finality providers based on delegation size, and 0.075% is distributed to active CometBFT validators based on delegation size. Once the trustless Bitcoin custody protocol is ready, the token economics should be revisited and adjusted to drive adoption. Furthermore, the proposal proposes the introduction of a BTC-BABY co-staking feature, which would encourage BTC stakers to also stake BABY and actively provide security for verification and finality; the more BABY staked, the greater the co-staking rewards.
Jump’s Firedancer Team Proposes Removing Solana Block Limit After Alpenglow Upgrade
According to The Block, Jump Crypto's Firedancer team is building a high-performance client for Solana. Their SIMD-0370 proposal proposes removing the current fixed limit of 60 million CUs per block (previously, a proposal had proposed raising this limit to 100 million) after Solana's major Alpenglow upgrade, scheduled for testing later this year. Without a fixed limit, block size would adjust based on the transaction volume accommodated by high-performing validators, while weaker validators would automatically abstain from voting on oversized blocks by skipping the voting mechanism. The proposal argues that removing the limit would encourage well-funded block producers to upgrade their hardware and add more transactions to increase revenue, incentivizing others to follow suit, creating a "flywheel effect" and increasing the average capacity of validator clients. Roger Wattenhofer, Head of Research at Anza and a driving force behind Solana's Alpenglow upgrade, supports removing the limit but also expresses concerns about potential centralization and network stability risks. He argues that these issues are solvable and that he remains a staunch supporter of removing the limit.
