“Shareholders who continue to hold shares of a Fund on the Fund’s Liquidation Date will receive a liquidating distribution with a value equal to their proportionate ownership interest in the Fund,” read the press release.

Following the failed bid of a proposal to change network tokenomics, Solana cofounder Anatoly Yakovenko has reiterated the need for decisive governance. Yakovenko argues that failing fast will do more for Solana than a slew of proposal approvals.
Solana Governance Has To Prioritize Speed And Incisiveness
Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko has moved on from the community’s rejection of the Solana Improvement Document (SIMD)-0228. Yakovenko noted that despite the failed proposal, the speed of governance proceedings for Solana left an impressive mark.
The SIMD-0228 sought to change Solana’s tokenomics by introducing a dynamic inflation model, moving away from the network’s fixed inflation schedule. While the proposal split the network over centralization fears and disadvantages to smaller validators, Yakovenko highlighted the silver lining in its rejection.
Learning from the proposal, the Solana cofounder disclosed that the network’s governance must be “fast and decisive.” For Yakovenko, the quick resolution of the proposal frees up resources for the network to explore a better approach.
“How fast the ecosystem iterates is a thousand times more important than making sure that every proposal passes,” said Yakovenko.
Over 74% of validators participated in the vote with Yakovenko declaring support for the proposal. Big ecosystem players including VanEck supported the proposal amid speculation that Solana price will spike following the approval.
Bulls Eye Upward Movement For SOL Price
Despite the rejection of the proposal, bulls are still clinging to hope that SOL can go on a parabolic rally. The network has faced significant downward pressure in recent weeks, complicated by Alameda’s SOL unstaking. A steep drop in Solana DEX volume darkens the cloud for the future of the asset’s price.
However, analysts are keeping their eyes on the potential repeat of a 2021 pattern that can send SOL price to $4,000. There is speculation that Solana is on course to surpass Ethereum’s market capitalization.
Optimist are hinging their prediction on on-chain metrics and the soaring number of projects building on the network. In the short term, traders have their eyes on SOL to $200 before the end of March despite a looming death cross.

Crypto analyst XRP Captain has provided an ultra bullish outlook for the XRP price. He suggested that the crypto could reach triple digits in this market cycle while asserting that such an ambitious price target is realistic.
Analyst Sets “Realistic” Target Of $100 For The XRP Price
In an X post, XRP Captain stated that $100 is a realistic target for the XRP price in this bull run. However, the analyst failed to mention when exactly XRP could reach this ambitious target or what could spark the parabolic rally to this price target.
This prediction comes just as crypto Egrag Crypto stated that XRP will reach double digits in this market cycle and then triple digits in the next cycle. Meanwhile, crypto analyst Dark Defender has provided an even more bullish outlook for the coin than XRP Captain.
Dark Defender recently predicted that the XRP price could rally to $333 if it mirrors its performance in the 2017 bull run. Analysts like Egrag Crypto have also alluded to the coin’s historical performance in 2017 as the reason it could enjoy massive gains in this bull run.
Insight Into The Crypto’s Current Price Action
In an X post, Dark Defender stated that the XRP price is forming Wave 1 on the daily chart. He remarked that he expects the crypto to move towards $2.42 first. The analyst affirmed that the real momentum will start after XRP stands above the Ichimoku clouds.
The analyst then highlighted $2.22 and $2.04 as the support levels to watch out for while the targets are $4.2932 and $5.8563. As CoinGape reported, crypto analyst Rose Premium also predicted that XRP could soon reach $5 as BlackRock gears up for ETF filing.
Egrag Crypto stated that XRP’s dominance is showing tremendous strength. He noted that the dominance is on the verge of closing above the 2021 high of 6%, surpassing Fib 0.6, which he considers a critical level and a super bullish sign once this close happens.
The analyst further remarked that if the dominance successfully closes above Fib 0.5, it could surge straight to Fib 0.888, which is his target of 15 to 20%. He added that this would align with the highs from 2015. It is worth mentioning that the Egrag Crypto previously asserted that XRP will flip Ethereum to become the second-largest crypto by market cap.
In another X post, the analyst stated that XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is steadily ticking upwards and that it is just a matter of time before market participants witness a celestial move.
Egrag Crypto also highlighted key RSI targets. He stated that 70 is for bullish confirmation, 77 is for bullish momentum, 85 is for bullish continuation, and 89 is for a parabolic rally for the XRP price.
