According to PANews, ZetaChain has successfully completed a lightning network upgrade, laying the groundwork for decentralized cross-chain transactions. The upgrade includes several technical improvements, such as a 70% increase in block production speed, reducing block confirmation time from 6 seconds to 4 seconds with a future goal of 2 seconds. Additionally, the upgrade enhances Universal Apps compatibility by adding support for Solana smart contracts on the mainnet and the TON chain on the testnet. The upgrade also optimizes CCTX speed and performance with features like signature caching and gas enhancements, ensuring faster and more stable transactions. ZetaChain remains committed to decentralization, avoiding centralized sequencers or custodial bridges, and is developing layers like Speedrun within its ecosystem. This upgrade is just the beginning, with plans to support mainnets like Sui and TON and introduce new features to improve Universal App development and user experience. While the reduced block time approaches a near-real-time experience, true real-time cross-chain execution remains challenging due to the finality speeds of different chains. However, ZetaChain continues to explore advanced functionalities to enhance CCTX performance.

According to BlockBeats, despite pressures from the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, summer liquidity shortages, and ongoing Middle Eastern instability, BRN's chief analyst Valentin Fournier maintains a bullish long-term outlook for Bitcoin due to continued corporate purchasing. On Thursday, medical device manufacturer Semler Scientific (SMLR) announced plans to significantly increase its Bitcoin holdings from 4,449 to 100,500 by 2027. The company intends to raise funds through convertible bonds and on-market issuance. Fournier noted in his report that while market sentiment remains cautious and short-term trends are dominated by geopolitical uncertainties, Semler Scientific's announcement signals substantial structural demand. Meanwhile, some analysts have warned of systemic risks similar to those seen in the 2021 bull-bear cycle. However, Peter Chung, head of research at Presto, believes the current trend in crypto vaults is more stable than past "boom-bust" cycles. He highlighted that companies are generally avoiding high-leverage models using cryptocurrency-backed loans, which previously amplified downside risks. Additionally, due to insufficient data, there is no evidence of "excessive premiums" that would attract aggressive investors. On Friday, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies remained stable overall. The GMCI 30 index saw a slight increase, with Bitcoin prices holding steady around $106,000.
