Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran speaks with CNBC during the Invest i America Forum on Oct. 15, 2025.CNBCFederal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran entered with big ideas about how the central bank should change— radically so, in some cases. As he prepares to step down in the coming days from what will have been the shortest tenure as a governor in 71 years, he appears convinced his ideas are right. But in a CNBC interview, Miran, 42, made clear that the reality of working at the Fed has tempered his views about how fast those changes can be made. Change is slower than he envisioned.The Fed is "really a committee," Miran said. "It's different than an agency where there's a very clear executive who just runs the show, and what he or she says goes, and if you don't like it, you're out." That observation is important for two reasons: First, Miran could return as a governor, potentially before the end of President Donald Trump's term.

Solana’s Alpenglow upgrade entered community validator testing on May 11, with development firm Anza describing the activation as the largest consensus change in the network’s history, targeting block confirmation times of approximately 150 milliseconds and potentially as low as 100 milliseconds under favorable network conditions. This is huge news for Solana.
The upgrade replaces TowerBFT and removes Proof of History from the network’s core process, a structural change significant enough that its success or failure will materially define Solana’s competitive position among high-throughput Layer-1 networks through the remainder of 2026. SOL traded near $97 following the announcement, with an intraday range between $94 and $98, suggesting a limited short-term market reaction to a development that remains well upstream of mainnet.

The testing phase places Alpenglow on a community test cluster where validator operators can evaluate the new consensus design before any broader rollout.
