Solana’s plan to retire durable nonces, which let transactions be signed offline and broadcast later, would preserve cold-key approval while changing which addresses control the affected assets. For exchanges, custodians and treasury operators using that signing method, the proposed replacement adds a program between the cold key’s approval and execution.The Solana Foundation’s October deprecation plan points to onchain signer programs that verify an offline signature and execute its approved instructions. A program-derived address, or PDA, would control the affected accounts. The original key would still authorize actions, while a separate online operator submits them and pays the network fee.The replacement…

The provision would apply to disposals and exchanges from Jan. 1, 2027 if enacted.For an investor selling Bitcoin exposure into USDC, the consequence would be a change in the tax timing of a risk-reduction trade.

Bitcoin and Ethereum extended their weekend recovery, although on-chain indicators and derivatives positioning suggest the rebound faces significant obstacles.Data from CryptoSlate showed that Bitcoin briefly climbed above $84,000 after falling toward $80,000 during last week’s selloff.

Meanwhile, Ethereum’s recovery comes as larger derivatives traders appear to be reducing their bullish exposure despite substantial outstanding positions.Bitcoin’s $85,000 resistance threatens…
