Solana is a Layer 1<\/a> blockchain, like Ethereum. Although, Solana uses Proof-of-History<\/a> as its consensus mechanism compared to Ethereum's Proof-of-Work. This allows Solana to have a throughput of 60,000 transactions per second, compared to Ethereum's current 15 transactions per second. This would make Solana a cheaper network to use, with much lower gas fees<\/a> compared with a blockchain like Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solana is up 11.23% today at a price of $124.14, with a 24-hour trading volume of $3,860,298,289 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solana is a Layer 1<\/a> blockchain, like Ethereum.

Although, Solana uses Proof-of-History<\/a> as its consensus mechanism compared to Ethereum's Proof-of-Work. This allows Solana to have a throughput of 60,000 transactions per second, compared to Ethereum's current 15 transactions per second. This would make Solana a cheaper network to use, with much lower gas fees<\/a> compared with a blockchain like Ethereum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Solana is up 11.23% today at a price of $124.14, with a 24-hour trading volume of $3,860,298,289 USD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Transparent backing of stablecoins<\/a> may be the new standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n U.S. Lawmakers Rep. Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN) in the House and Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) in the Upper Chamber introduced a bill in the House and Senate aimed at increasing transparency within the stablecoin market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The 'Stablecoin Transparency Act' would set the standards for the \"quality of assets held in reserves\" by requiring stablecoins to be fully backed by a combination of U.S. dollars and \"government securities with maturities less than 12 months\". Stablecoins are cryptocurrency tokens pegged 1:1 with fiat, typically USD. The idea goes that for every stablecoin there is an equal bill in circulation that can be 'redeemed' when they decide to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stablecoin issuers will also be compelled under the new act to publish audited reports regularly to demonstrate their reserves. This will have a significant impact on stablecoin issuers such as Circle ($USDC<\/a>) and Tether ($USDT<\/a>), whose treasury backing the coin has been speculated against for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sen. Hagerty persists that the act won't put power into the \"unaccountable bureaucrats who threaten to choke off innovation\", rather it is aimed at consumer protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From whether coins are securities or commodities, to who is in charge of regulating them, those in the cryptocurrency marketplace are navigating significant ambiguity<\/em>.<\/p>Sen.
