Macroeconomic factors, such as the collapse of the yen carry trade, had a significant impact on this fall, according to a recent VanEck report.

One key topic was the partnership between Bitgo and Justin Sun on Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), which generated controversy.

In the stablecoin space, Tether put its plans to launch its own blockchain on hold, and Maker undertook a significant rebranding effort, renaming its DAI stablecoin to USDS and its MAKER governance token to SKY.

在稳定币领域，Tether 搁置了推出自己的区块链的计划，Maker 进行了重大的品牌重塑工作，将其 DAI 稳定币重命名为 USDS，将 MAKER 治理代币重命名为 SKY。

Meanwhile, the VanEck-backed stablecoin Agora saw rapid growth, expanding to other chains like Sui.

另一方面，Solana 由于其巨大的存储规模和围绕 memecoin 的投机而面临问题，这对网络中的交易量和费用产生了负面影响，这凸显了需要能够在不损害网络的情况下应对不断增长的需求的技术解决方案网络的可访问性和效率。
