Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) announced he will soon resign from Congress, following a disastrous few days of media reports alleging serious sexual misconduct, including assault of an intoxicated staffer.

In the announcement, posted to X, Swalwell continued to deny the allegations of assault, but vaguely admitted to "mistakes in judgment," and said he cannot adequately represent his constituents while defending his reputation and legal position.

"I am deeply sorry to my family, staff, and constituents for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past," said Swalwell. "I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the mistakes I did make."

"I am aware of efforts to bring an immediate expulsion vote against me and other members," the statement continued. "Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it's also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties. Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress. I will work with my staff in the coming days to ensure they are able, in my absence, to serve the needs of the good people of the 14th congressional district.”

This comes after Swalwell already suspended his gubernatorial campaign over the weekend.

Solana Dominates Crypto Token Launches, 85,000,000 Assets Registered

The post Solana Dominates Crypto Token Launches, 85,000,000 Assets Registered appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Solana blockchain has become the top destination for token launches in the cryptocurrency space. In a recent update shared by Solana, the network currently has the majority of token creations happening in its ecosystem. Solana alone has 85 million tokens on its blockchain. Why developers prefer Solana over Ethereum This figure is significant considering that there are 100 million tokens in total on major crypto networks. That is, across some of the big blockchain platforms in the industry, like Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum and Base, developers have created 100 million different tokens. These include meme coins, stablecoins, LP tokens, project tokens and more. You Might Also Like Notably, the Solana network is home to 85% of this total volume. This massive dominance is driven by the meme coin frenzy and other factors that make developers favor the network. These include its very low fees and super-fast transaction throughput.   It is these features that have given Solana an edge over industry giant Ethereum. As recently reported by U.Today, Solana registered 2.9 billion transactions in the month of August 2025 alone. This figure is the same amount that Ethereum has been able to log since its launch in 2015. Despite its current transaction speed, Solana is working on becoming the fastest layer 1 with its Alpenglow upgrade. Once completed, it will make Solana work 80 times faster than its current speed and reduce transaction finality to below 150 milliseconds.
