Long-time World of Warcraft players have been waiting 21 years for the new in-game housing features that Blizzard officially announced last year and which launched in early access last week. Shortly after that launch, though, players quickly discovered a way to make their houses float high above the ground by exploiting an unintended, invisible UI glitch.

Now, Blizzard says that the overwhelming response to that accidental house hovering has been so strong that it’s pivoting to integrate it as an official part of the game.

“We were going to fix flying houses to bring them back to terra firma, but you all made such awesome stuff, so we made it possible with the base UI instead,” WoW Principal Designer Jesse Kurlancheek posted on social media Tuesday. Lead Producer Kyle Hartline followed up on that announcement with some behind-the-scenes gossip: “Like no joke we had an ops channel about how to roll out the float fix but folks shared like 5 of the dopest houses and we all kinda immediately agreed this was way too cool to change,” he wrote.

In a significant development, the bearish action of the Solana price is currently spilling into the SOL-backed Treasury reserves. A recent report shows that corporate treasury companies are experiencing a sharp decline in their SOL holdings in the shadow of broader market unease.

Corporate Solana Reserves Continue To Bleed

Solana is experiencing a notable development that is capable of shaping its next market direction. Ted Pillows, a market expert and investor, shared on the X platform that the corporate treasuries of Solana are sinking further as the price of SOL struggles to regain upward traction.

According to the expert, SOL treasury companies are making new lows that echo through the on-chain corridors of the network. This implied that the wallets previously renowned for their steady accumulation are now showing diminishing conviction as balances discreetly shrink in the current bearish market phase.

The trend shows how institutional Solana holders are adjusting in the face of tightened liquidity and increased volatility, but it’s not a sudden exodus. Rather, it may be a steady, calculated exhalation.

Pillows highlighted that this drop to new lows is a major reason why the price of SOL has been performing badly, as buying demand has faded among institutional investors. Until these companies recover, the expert is confident that a recovery in SOL will be difficult.

However, Solana has started throwing up a quiet flare, one that heralds a recovery. After examining the altcoin’s price action on the weekly time frame, Ali Martinez, a crypto analyst and trader, revealed that SOL is flashing a bullish signal that points to a potential upward move. 

Martinez’s analysis hinges on the key Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential indicator. Since March 2023, the TD Sequential has proven to be very accurate when it comes to identifying SOL trend shifts on the weekly chart. During the ongoing bearish wave, the indicator is flashing a buy signal, suggesting that Solana is likely gearing up for a bounce.

SOL Activity Is On The Rise

Despite Solan’s price facing volatility, the leading network continues to wax strong as activity grows. In a post on X, Solana Daily disclosed that the network’s x402 activity is accelerating at a pace that feels more like an explosion this week. Currently, transactions are broadening, participation is expanding, and on-chain discussion is rising in the community.

The platform highlighted that the daily transaction volume on the protocol reached a new all-time high with approximately $380,000 processed on November 30 alone. This move to a new peak represents a 750% Week-over-Week (WoW) surge.

Furthermore, Solana has flipped the chart in dollar volume for the first time since its inception. With x402 transactions reaching new highs and a flip in dollar volume, the network is emerging as the most active in the cohort.
