Solana Foundation open-sources the settlement method behind a $50 million Galaxy Digital note arranged by J.P. Morgan

Solana Foundation released free, MIT-licensed code that swaps tokenized securities for USDC in one atomic transaction, with finality in seconds. How far it reaches into T+1 and T+2 back offices depends on how many securities already exist as tokens with USDC on the other side.

SIMD-0266 activated at the start of epoch 971 on 13 May 2026, putting p-token behind the classic token program ID on the upgradeable loader with its upgrade authority set to none. Nobody redeployed anything.

A Token-2022 mint can shrink every holder's displayed balance without a single transaction

Interest-bearing and scaled-UI-amount mints tell a Solana RPC node to compute the display amount from the mint config and its own clock, while the archive behind long-tail history stores the un-scaled number.

The mint-creation opt-in decides which Solana tokens can ever go confidential

Helius's Rings demo runs on devnet and can hide the transaction graph; the Token-2022 extension has been live on mainnet since June and hides only the amount. Which one you can use is settled by the token issuer.

Token ACL moves the honeypot tell from the freeze flag to the freeze authority's owner

Every scanner the author tested reads a regulated French fund token and a buy-only trap identically, since both are default-frozen Token-2022 mints. The field that separates them is the freeze authority's owner.
