Just saw the news that Injective's EVM mainnet has launched.
This is worth discussing. Not because it’s just another chain compatible with Ethereum, but because its focus is a bit different——building the underlying infrastructure for financial applications. Sub-second block times, Multi-VM architecture—sounds technical, but in plain language: it’s fast enough to run high-frequency strategies and can simultaneously support different virtual machine codes.
For developers? The barrier is basically zero. Contracts written in Solidity can be directly migrated and used. Wallets and tools are also universal, but with cheaper gas fees and faster transaction confirmation. This means that those things previously "wanted to do but couldn't" on Ethereum—like real-time liquidation derivatives or fast-response prediction markets—now have a feasible technical solution.
On-chain financial infrastructure is indeed evolving in a more competitive direction.
On the other hand, there’s another more subtle event tonight.
FOMC meeting, the market is watching Powell’s statements. But a more interesting timing is after the meeting—at 6:10 PM Eastern Time, Trump will make an official announcement about the next Federal Reserve Chair candidate. This could be Powell’s last chance to speak as the “market narrative leader.”
The transfer of monetary policy power often involves a re-pricing of market expectations. Everyone knows the crypto market’s sensitivity to dollar liquidity. Technology is advancing, but the macro direction still depends on the broader picture.
