Solana’s ACE Upgrade Targets Market Microstructure—Here’s Why Traders Should Care
Solana just fired a shot across the bow of legacy finance. Its newly unveiled ACE (Advanced Cryptoeconomic Efficiency) protocol upgrade takes direct aim at market microstructure—the hidden plumbing that determines whether your trades succeed or get rekt.
Faster, leaner, meaner
While Wall Street still settles trades in T+2 dinosaur time, ACE slashes latency to sub-second finality. The upgrade optimizes order flow granularity—a fancy way of saying it prevents high-frequency traders from front-running your grandma's SOL stash.
The cynical kicker
Of course, the same banks that called crypto 'a fraud' last year will likely be first in line to license this tech. Solana's cutting the queue, while traditional finance plays catch-up—again.
