On January 28th, the Baimajing "Photovoltaic-Storage-Charging" supercharging station in Danzhou, Hainan, officially commenced operation. With a total installed capacity of 8,000 kilowatts, it is currently the largest new energy heavy-duty truck charging station in Hainan Province. According to reports, this supercharging station was jointly invested in by China Southern Power Grid Hainan Electric Vehicle Company and Hainan Susutong Supply Chain Co., Ltd., with an investment of 12 million yuan. It has 40 high-power charging terminals, capable of simultaneously providing full-power charging services for 20 heavy-duty trucks (heavy-duty trucks use two charging terminals at a time to improve charging efficiency). It can serve over 200 vehicles per day, meeting the rapid energy replenishment needs of various new energy vehicle models, including new energy heavy-duty trucks and ordinary passenger cars. The supercharging station adopts integrated "photovoltaic-storage-charging" technology, combining photovoltaic power generation, intelligent energy storage, and high-power supercharging technology, and is expected to contribute to a reduction of approximately 200,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions annually.January 28th - Starbucks (SBUX.O) reported a 7% increase in same-store sales in China for the first quarter, with net revenue of $9.9 billion, exceeding market expectations of $9.65 billion.

WisdomTree commodity strategist Nitesh Shah pointed out that the reality is that any nominated candidate is unlikely to be as resolute in resisting Trumps demands as Powell, which is beneficial for gold. Regarding gold jewelry consumption, I believe high prices will suppress demand, but the current high levels may, to some extent, boost speculative investment in the retail sector.EU Energy Commissioner Jorgensen: The US threat to Greenland serves as a wake-up call for the EU in terms of energy.EU Energy Commissioner Jorgensen: The EU is actively seeking alternative sources of liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply.

Solana Set to Unveil Retail Store in New York as its ‘Cultural Centre’

One of the largest blockchains in the world by market capitalization, Solana, is opening a permanent physical location in Manhattan, New York, that will serve as the project's "culture center."


The Solana Spaces store will have an interactive art display as well as the option for customers to pay via Solana Pay, which is a unique feature.

The Web3 World

A non-fungible token (NFT) gallery showcasing the Degenerate Ape Academy collection is included at the new store, which is situated in the Hudson Yards neighborhood. 10,000 3D apes created by an algorithm make up the Solana-based collection.


The dynamic art exhibit at Solana Spaces shows real-time visuals based on transactions and newly minted NFTs that are happening on the Solana blockchain.


Solana-branded goods, including limited edition Blanksoles sneakers, are on sale in the one-of-a-kind store. The decentralized shoe brand Blanksoles established an alliance with former NBA champion Metta Sandiford-Artest earlier this year to introduce a line of physical sneakers and NFTs with a Solana, California, base.


Additionally, Solana Spaces allows bitcoin as a form of payment, with Solana Pay helping consumers complete transactions. In addition, the store provides guides for Magic Eden and the Phantom wallet. In particular, Phantom is a well-known non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet created for Solana with more over a million users.

Success for Solana

When it comes to non-fungible tokens and decentralized finance (DeFi), Solana is without a doubt one of the most well-known blockchains in the world. Its native cryptocurrency, SOL, is currently ranked as the ninth largest in the world.


The project gained notoriety in May of this year when its NFT sales produced more money in a 24-hour period than Ethereum's.


Given that the project promises to guarantee transactions will always remain less than $0.01 for both developers and users, Solana has in fact evolved into a substitute for the more expensive Ethereum (ETH) blockchain for trading NFTs. Ethereum, in contrast, charges an average transaction cost of $3.71 as of this writing.


Additionally, Solanart is a fully-fledged NFT marketplace built on the network that enables anyone to buy or sell NFTs with the overall objective of assisting in the promotion of artists and producers.


As of June, the initiative has generated about $2.35 billion in total sales, with average monthly NFT sales of $150 million this year.


This increase is the result of many new purchasers entering the market; by January of this year, there were 153,602 different buyers who completed 1,014,963 deals on Solana. In fact, the project's monthly sales volume that month reached an all-time high of $298.69 million.
