Report: Solana's DeFi Ecosystem Shifts from Public, Passive Liquidity Pools to Private Execution DEX
On May 14, Pine Analytics released a report indicating that Solana's DeFi ecosystem has shifted from public, passive liquidity pools to private execution DEXs. New DEXs like SolFi, Obric v2, and ZeroFi, although not operating front-end interfaces, have processed 40-65% of on-chain trading volume through the aggregator Jupiter. These DEXs adopt four core designs:
1. Execute trades only through the Jupiter aggregator;
2. Pricing based on real-time oracles;
3. Use private vaults instead of public liquidity pools;
4. Selective quoting based on inventory. This model effectively avoids MEV attacks and toxic order flow, showing significant advantages in major trading pairs like SOL and stablecoins. Solana's current architecture (single leader, MEV auctions) puts public quoting at a disadvantage, but upcoming upgrades like concurrent leaders may change this situation. While the private market-making model enhances execution efficiency, it also reduces the openness and composability of DeFi. This evolution reflects that Solana's ecosystem is gradually forming a unique liquidity supply method that matches its technical architecture.

BUZZ - Goldman Sachs says the price cap on cancer drugs has limited impact on Indian hospitals
October 9 – Goldman Sachs pointed out that India's implementation of a 30% profit margin cap on non-scheduled anticancer drugs (link) will have limited impact on hospitals. The report states that, based on preliminary discussions with hospital chain groups, such drugs account for less than 5% of hospital revenue and 2% to 2.5% of operating profit. The report adds that hospitals can offset the losses by slightly adjusting service charges, such as administration fees. According to a government notice, an expert committee will finalize the list of drugs to be brought under regulation. Driven by the anticipated price cap, the share prices of Max Healthcare MAXE.NS, Apollo Hospitals APLH.NS, and Fortis Healthcare FOHE.NS rose by 1.6% to 2.5%. Previously, since September 30, these stocks had collectively declined by 11% to 11.5%. Year-to-date, FOHE and MAXE are down 11.7% and 14.8%, respectively, while APLH has risen by 11%.
