SOL

Cptn_BenjaminWillard

But how much actual value is exchanged, that's what I'm trying to understand. That dashboard doesn't show that. Right now, CMC lists $26b in daily ETH volume, and $6b in daily SOL volume, but I don't trust either due to wash trading.

GroundbreakingPage41

SOL is still processing more with upcoming plans to increase TPS exponentially via the alpenglow, let’s focus on who’s ahead instead of waiting on an inferior chain to catch up.

Tall_Run_2814

When were you planning on potentially selling? For me, I buy Bitcoin, Eth and SOL weekly as I have no plan on selling for another 10 years.

Adventurous-Ad-6231

BTC, ETH , SOL , LTC , and Xrp

GoldMouth-601

I’m a be honest with you I’d hold up just a little before I’d invest being new cuz honestly no telling if this is really the bottom or not. But if you just want to invest anyway you can’t go wrong with ETH or SOL or even XRP or BNB. Just don’t believe the hype and you’ll be good. And BTC of course is a solid option put with it being 90k you’d need a 180k BTC to double your money while a 6k Eth 260 Sol or a $4 XRP seems easier to accomplish

I don't think "Retail" in the sense of regular people like us even matters one iota to the markets anymore. They don't care if a bunch of broke traders believe in 4-year-cycle Astrology. They care about macro-economic momentum and forward-thinking guidance. The only Retail shaping the market that we can discern a direct impact from are ETF's, and business is still booming. I don't mean to say that this is a prediction for an *Altcoin* rally in any way though. I think 2021 was a special kind of speculative fluke, and the markets matured into focusing on the assets that matter and are having real-world application (BTC, ETH, more recently SOL, et cetera).

Honestly you’re not alone l a lot of people who started accumulating in 2022–2023 are feeling the same thing right now. What you’re experiencing is just the classic mid-cycle chop where BTC cools off, alts bleed, and everyone starts questioning the whole strategy. SOL, LINK, TAO, TRAC, PENDLE, AVAX, SUI that’s a legit list of high-conviction alts. and I think you should add some XMN too. None of those are dead projects

Dapper_Addition_3837

I hear you loud and clear—it's easy to stare at those bleeding charts and feel like the party's over, but zoom out, and the fundamentals are screaming "not even close." Crypto's always been a marathon of building through the noise, and these alts you're highlighting? They're not just surviving; they're laying tracks for the next leg up. Let's break it down quick, because yeah, the long game looks bullish as hell.Chainlink's basically the unsung hero gluing TradFi to blockchain. Their Sibos 2025 announcements with Swift, DTCC, Euroclear, UBS, and a whole squad of 24 heavyweights on corporate actions processing? That's not hype—it's solving a $58B annual headache with oracles, AI, and onchain data flows. Banks aren't dipping toes anymore; they're diving in, and LINK's the bridge. Charts might dip, but partnerships like that don't vanish in a bear market.Cosmos? IBC's evolution is pure fire for interoperability without the middleman BS. That EVM connection via IBC isn't some half-baked hack—it's live and scaling, with Cosmos EVM now packing parallel execution, mempool-level IBC compatibility, and hooks into Ethereum L2s like Base. Sovereign EVM Day in Cannes this year showed XRP, TON, and even Telegram apps bridging over native IBC—millions of users unlocking multichain without centralized gatekeepers. If alts need a "real bridge," this is it. ATOM's primed for that coordination-layer glow-up.Ondo Finance is straight-up tokenizing the boring-but-bankable stuff TradFi hoards. Their $250M Catalyst fund with Pantera Capital, dropping into RWA infra? That's fuel for bonds, stocks, and real estate going onchain, with BlackRock's BUIDL already backing OUSG for instant settlements (they shifted $95M+ there earlier this year). Larry Fink's calling tokenization "the next step," and Ondo's riding that wave with daily-yield rOUSG tokens. RWAs aren't a fad; they're the on-ramp for institutions tired of T+2 delays.Solana's the revenue beast proving L1s can actually make money without choking on fees. Q1 2025 alone? $369.5M—163% YoY jump, smoking Ethereum's $220.8M. Full-year run-rate hit $2.85B through September, with Jito tips and memecoin launchpads (shoutout Pump.fun's $475M haul) driving 55%+ of it. ETFs launched in October pulled $380M inflows in weeks— that's institutional validation for a chain handling real activity without the gas wars. SOL's not just fast; it's profitable.And Sphinx Protocol? Underdog alert—this one's tailor-made for plebs craving commodity plays without the exchange overlords. Built on its own permissioned L1, it's slinging 24/7 perps, futures, and options on oil, gas, electricity with atomic settlement, cross-margining (freeing 99% capital via BTC/stablecoin pairs), and fees slashed 90%. No more T+2 lockups or counterparty roulette; it's onchain efficiency for energy derivatives that could hedge real-world volatility. If RWAs explode, Sphinx is the DeFi gateway for normies dipping into gas/oil without a broker.You're spot on: these aren't centralized vaporware—they're decentralized machines built to outlast the hype cycles, just like BTC did. Sentiment on X echoes it too—folks calling out the Dec 1 bloodbath as rebalancing noise, with alts eyeing recovery once BTC dom stalls and USDT dom rejects higher. Blink, and we're in perma-uptrend mode again. HODL the vision, my friend—2026's gonna reward the builders.

Primary-Pie-1662

You might get an outsider that comes through, like SUI. But my bet would be BTC, ETH, SOL. And of course … Titcoin.

_TheWolfOfWalmart_

I know I sound like a broken record, but no alt is a good long term hold compared to BTC. None of them. Not ETH, not SOL, not BNB, Definitely not DOT. Nothing. You can get lucky with a new one sometimes that outperforms BTC for a single cycle. That's it.

trillionSdollarstech

I have a hypothesis to explain why PoS cryptos have been so weak in the past 4 years. Young people want to gamble with high-risk high-reward stuff. They had thousands of memecoins on Solana to do it in 2024. The PoS cryptos (ETH, SOL...) have increased so much already in 2017 and 2021 that the rewards don't feel possible anymore, they don't even try. People above 30, including boomers, want serious investments. They read what they can about blockchains and 90% of articles published in the last years (including 2025) by manipulative news outlets (coindesk, cointelegraph, ...) tell them that Ethereum is outdated. They dig a bit and see that Solana hasn't achieved anything more than Ethereum despite the claims of superiority. Something looks off so AI stocks took their attention away. Fund managers have zero education on blockchains. All they know is Bitcoin thanks to its simplistic purpose. They don't have time to read about the rest, understand it, sort out the flood of misinformation, and there is AI, so like 30+ y.o. retail, they don't pay attention to PoS blockchains. The only traditional fund manager who understands PoS blockchains is Tom Lee, but he alone can't carry the market. TLDR: there is nobody on the market.

LargeSnorlax

But you didn't have to sift through the shit, you apparently literally only had to buy the top alts. Literally chuck a dart at the top 10 and you made money. SOL was $20 in 2022. ETH was $1k. XRP was $0.50. TRX was $0.06. BNB was $200. Yes, if you buy things only at all time highs you will have a hard time making money, but if you're actually paying attention you could make money on the easiest things as well.

TexasBoyz-713

After waiting 7 years for XRP to make a slightly new high.. The super centralized BNB surely doesn’t make many people comfortable Another slight new ATH by ETH by just a few percent, SOL did okay but memeage can only take the market so far.. Yeah it’s true that all alts aren’t completely dead, but sifting through all the shit to find a few milligrams of gold just doesn’t seem worth it anymore, it just leaves me wondering, what new investor would take a look at this market and want to jump in?

LargeSnorlax

Was it though? XRP hit ATH this year. BNB hit ATH this year. ETH and SOL both hit ATH this year. TRX hit ATH this year. The major alts did just fine. The dime a dozen other alts with huge inflation and vesting schedules? Yeah, they sucked, but things like ATOM and DOT were destined for failure anyways. Any coin that pays its holders absurd inflation for staking just goes down the drain eventually.

noviwu97

> SOL, LINK, TAO, TRAC, PENDLE, AVAX and SUI If you sell all of them and then the price is down 20%, would you buy back the same amount? If no, then you already lost conviction on those, just sell them now.

ElectronicSalt1435

Agreed! I was more so speaking about myself. At one point, I stopped investing into XRP, ETH, SOL and even sold these cryptos to invest in meme coins. Although, I've made some dumb moves in my trades over the years, I got in pretty early so most of my crypto is profits just moved around to find the next pump.

MundaneSoftware6510

SOL. They are poised for next level adoption. The fundamentals are great. They pay out a nice staking reward. If you’re uncomfortable with carrying the crypto then get SSK ETF where you get your staking reward monthly. Split your 2500 into three tranches and buy in at the lowest price you set or as close as you can get to.

churito69

Unless you have a DIRECT link to the project's owners (I don't mean chatting in a Telegram group), you shouldn't expect to make serious money from an early project. MOST are not legitimate, OR the people involved will be the only ones who make money. BTC / ETH / SOL are all valid long-term projects with a history. ALL crypto follows BTC. No one can guarantee ANYTHING. We don't know what will move the market; this recent crash, no one anticipated as much movement. HOWEVER, if you get in now on BTC, it is at a long-term look, down from $124k to sub $90k, there seems to be a lot of available movement up. IF you believe it should return over $124k (I think it should), I think 30%+

nugymmer

No, the useful crypto was...just not that attractive for a very specific reason. It explains why SOL went up so much, but LINK didn't. It also explains why HBAR didn't either. The market READS into these cryptos, they will SEE that the developers hold a LOT of tokens, and they will realise that there is going to be a ceiling on the price (but sadly, no floor, as we all know and understand). The market KNOWS. Markets are actually smarter than most people realise, because markets are literally...people...people who think, feel and have knowledge and experience about stuff where money can be made - including alt coins. They know that the price upside potential on stuff like LINK and HBAR is capped until either an absolutely monstrous black swan event occurs or until the developers release and unlock all the tokens. They are not going to do that, obviously, so the price will stagnate until it happens. Or not. It's why my next foray into crypto is going to be solely BTC and nothing else, because, once again, the market KNOWS that BTC is SCARCE. Very, very scarce. 21m coins, probably several million that are out of circulation, so the real figure could be 17 or 18m...that's not a lot of coins. That's a scarce asset. And the market...well, it simply knows. And it responds accordingly. And I'm part of that market that will be buying once I am satisfied that we are not going to see any more downward pressure, and will start DCA even before that, because I know trying to time things never works unless you are lucky.

I had very high hopes, even modified a ton of corporate software to replace ACH transactions with ETH/ADA/SOL but then..... out came a bunch of blatant scams with Trump coin and melania coin and whatever. I couldn't even say crypto at a meeting without getting some major negative judgement. Literally hundreds of thousands of dollars of coding into the trash. It's infuratiting to see so many points where crypto could save a fortune and make everything so much easier, yet a single politician can turn it into garbage - even with all the corporate heads all trumpie, they believe it's just a scam to make money (and They are literally OK with it for that purpose!) ugh. Now.... I don't know. I sold a bunch and bought some rental properties this year I still have some that I couldn't bear to part with, but honestly, I think the ALT coins and this endless scamming from politicians.

Dump Polygon, the Graph, Arbitrum, Celestial, Ondo, then decide between Dot, Avalanche, and Hedera. I’d hold 50%BTC, 20% ETH, 10% SOL, 10% LiNK. Then the last 10% in what you personally believe in between the coins I told you to choose between. I personally Hold ICP and DOT (I personally find the risk reward on these 2 worth it.) I hold the other 4 in the exact %’s I said. I use the last 10% in my spec plays.

NilsTheChef

Seems like BlackRock's making big moves in the SOL space! Any thoughts on what this might mean for institutional adoption of alt L1s beyond just BTC and ETH? I've noticed traditional finance slowly warming up to more projects, but BlackRock getting involved could be a real game-changer for market legitimacy.

Nickelmaker

I'd say you're looking at this investment too simplistically. While it's true that smaller market cap coins can have bigger percentage moves, they also carry substantially more risk of failure or underperformance. Instead of going all-in on one coin, consider a risk-adjusted portfolio approach: - Put 50-60% in Bitcoin as your foundation - 20-30% in a few established large caps (ETH, etc.) - 10-20% in higher-risk/higher-reward mid-caps like SOL or LINK This gives you exposure to potential outsized gains while protecting your principal. Remember that in the 2018-2020 bear market, many alts lost

KirbysaBAMF

I would invite you to consider stake able crypto. tokens like ETH, SOL, and ATOM all pay you to HODL. So you can just sit back and watch your crypto earn you more crypto.

CRPTM_ONE

Crypto Tax Crash Course (USA) — Easy & Clear Here’s the quick version of how crypto taxes actually work in the U.S.: 1. Selling or swapping = taxable. Anything that counts as disposing of crypto triggers taxes. Even swapping BTC → ETH is treated like selling BTC. These all go on Form 8949 as gains/losses. 2. Income-style crypto gets taxed the moment you receive it. If you’re earning tokens through things like: • Staking • Mining • Airdrops • Referral bonuses • Play-to-earn • Yield farming / liquidity rewards The IRS taxes them at their fair value the second they hit your wallet. Then when you eventually sell them? That’s a second taxable event. 3. Moving crypto between your own wallets is NOT taxable. Just make sure you mark it as a self-transfer so your tax software doesn’t treat it as a sale. 4. NFT taxes are basically the same as crypto. • Buying an NFT with ETH/SOL = taxable, because you’re “spending” crypto. • Buying with USD/stablecoins = not taxable. • Selling an NFT = capital gain/loss. • Minting is usually not taxable unless you immediately receive something with clear value. • Royalties = ordinary income. 5. DeFi taxes can get messy. Here's the simple version: • Swaps on DEXes = trades → taxable. • Providing liquidity (when you get an LP token) = considered a trade → taxable. • Removing liquidity = also a trade → taxable. • Rewards from pools/staking/nodes = income at FMV the day you get them. • Bridging is usually non-taxable unless the bridge gives you a new wrapped token. 6. Cost basis is everything. Your cost basis is what you originally paid for each asset. If you lose track of it, the IRS may treat your basis as $0 — which means they think all of it is profit. That can lead to a huge tax bill. 7. Please use a tax tool. A proper crypto tax tool will: • Auto-sync exchanges + wallets • Track cost basis correctly • Identify self-transfers • Handle DeFi + NFTs • Generate Form 8949 and full reports It saves you hours of cleanup — even if you only trade occasionally. Crypto is fun when you’re trading. It’s only stressful when tax time comes and nothing is tracked. Tax season isn’t the enemy. Bad records are. Hope this helps someone. Happy filing.

canadianragweed

I think everything you mentioned aside from maybe XRP has potential. And XRP may, I just don't personally trust them. RWA is no doubt going to be a thing, it's just going to take time. BTC, ETH, and LINK have been and currently are 90% of my crypto portfolio. They are not for sale. I bought XRP and SOL at the right time so I'm still up hundreds of % at current prices but, they are for sale at the right price. SOL is not ETH.

Yes, defi, stablecoins, wrapped tokens/RWAs, GameFi, all things that Bitcoin isn't really related to unlike other crypto like ETH or SOL. That being said I don't think it's really worth looking for the next big crypto unless you believe you truly found value in something that the market hasn't realized

andys811

No, but 99% of altcoins will die out. I'll happily laugh in your face if you tell my ETH, SOL etc are shitcoins. 99% of altcoins are shitcoins, but that doesn't mean all of them are, and the good thing is that it means the odd couple altcoins are good projects but get given a shitcoin price tag which is what you wanna see.

lymanite

50% BTC 30% ETH 20% SOL Once I understood the genius behind “Proof of History” I really fell in love with Solana.

No_Piano_4690

Totally get why you’re asking — every time SOL pulls back, the “should I sell?” panic hits hard. What helps me is separating emotion from timeframe. If you bought with a long-term view, short-term dips usually aren’t a great reason to bail. Solana’s ecosystem still moves fast, and usage has held up even when price wobbles. But if you only grabbed it for a quick trade or you need the cash soon, taking some risk off the table can make sense. I also like setting rules ahead of time: take partial profits on strength, reassess if it breaks a level you care about. That way you’re not making decisions mid-fear. When I rebalance across chains, I sometimes use Rubic — folks in Rubic share tips on optimizing swaps if you ever go that route. What’s your horizon here — weeks, months, or longer? That usually decides the answer.

No_Piano_4690

Totally get why you’re torn — SOL’s had some wild swings lately, and it’s normal to second-guess when things get choppy. What’s helped me is breaking it down by time horizon. If you believe in the long-term ecosystem (DePIN, consumer apps, fast settlement), holding usually feels less stressful. Short-term, though, SOL can be brutal, so if you need liquidity or the volatility is making you miserable, trimming a bit isn’t crazy. Another thing I do is set levels ahead of time — like, “If it hits X, I take profit; if it drops to Y, I reassess.” Takes some emotion out of it. And don’t forget taxes/fees if you’re moving in and out. When I rebalance across chains, I sometimes use Rubic since it keeps swaps simple across ecosystems, and folks in Rubic talk about ways to streamline that. If you want, share your time frame and risk tolerance — that usually makes the decision a lot clearer.

wintomato

If you want growth but don’t want to go full casino mode, don’t put everything into just one coin. Bitcoin is the safer, slower option. Solana and Chainlink have more upside, but also more risk. A simple approach is to split it, for example: some in Bitcoin for stability, and some in SOL or LINK for growth. That way you’re not betting the whole plan on one horse. Turning 8–10k into 30–60k is possible, but crypto isn’t a straight line - a bit more rollercoaster, than elevator.

MeatKettle

Eh.. I was holding SOL for so long. It barely moved. A shot duck. I think it died with the NFT craze honestly.

trx-repo

It's risky to look at unit price alone. Just because a coin is cheaper doesn't mean it's easier for it to 5x. You have to look at the market cap. That said, if you want stability, go heavy on BTC. If you want to gamble for that 60k target, maybe split it 70/30 between BTC and SOL. Just don't put money in that you can't afford to lose.\]

Stake SOL (Solana) and MON (Monad) in a non-custodial manner. Can do both using the same validator, e.g. [xLabs](https://xlabs.xyz/stake/). Main focus is not maxing yields but rather holding assets you believe have strong long-term potential.

**Railway Mania of 1800s** There was a Railway Mania and Boom in the U.K and U.S in the 1800s that saw plebs who invested on railroads during the century mostly lose their money. The railway companies who issued the bonds and society as a whole benefited from the investors who essentially subsidized this industry. **Crypto Rails Mania of 2020s** Crypto rails are networks that facilitate the transfer of stablecoins: ETH, ETH L2s, TRON, SOL, ALGO, etc. Crypto investors are essentially doing the same thing and subsidizing the development of these networks and are getting very little in return. Since 2021, Stablecoin marketcap is up 200% while prices of these crypto rail networks are mostly down or flat as the dominant networks continuing slashing fees in a race to the bottom to compete with each other. **Agentic AI Micropayments 2030s?** It'll be interesting to see how this develops but we could potentially have a future where we are paying a bunch of AI agents to run small tasks and agents themselves would delegate smaller tasks or even a simple function to other agents and so forth for micropayments for the services. Google has the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) and has collaborations with several blockchains including Ethereum, Solana, Algorand, SUI, Coinbase Base etc for Agent or Agent-to-Agent payments using Stablecoins and it looks like financial services companies and even retail giants are exploring their own private chains for these because this needs to scale and the fees need to remain free-cheap. The key point again is all these are payments in USD Stablecoins and not the network crypto and it is essential for the network to remain free-cheap. Your Alt doesn't need to appreciate but thank you for your contribution.

The genius act is laying a bit of framework for crypto so work has finally gotten started there. Banks are chomping at the bit at the chance to make their own stablecoins. Moons have been on a steady decline since the beginning of the year with occasional spikes upwards, nothing has changed with distributions. A lot of people are moaning because Bitcoin is currently on the downtrend, likely from being at the very end of the current cycle.

If you bought altcoins, check what happened to them from top to bottom last cycle. Most of them didn't recover to previous ATH, with the largest ones (ETH and SOL) just marginally recovering. The easy part is to buy, so do it on the right time. The hardest part is to sell, especially if you need to cut losses. My tip to you is: There's no painless solution. Adjust your portfolio according to YOUR risk assessment. Sell what need to be sold and be prepared to whatever comes to the market. Forget how you will "appear" to the community. The 'community' won't be there for you when you need money for whatever it is that you are investing for. \- IF this is the beginning of a bear (which is my guess) we are not going to see new ATH. Maybe a 'dead cat bounce' (much lower than previous highs) to then run to the bottom. How would you approach that? \- IF you sell some and we go to ATH, how much would that affect you? There's no right answer. Just what seems ok for you. Don't follow the herd.

Your talking nonsense, crypto is just a ponzi. SOL won’t even be around in another 10 years. The guy has made some good returns, cashing out at this stage is a wise move.

I get the feeling — every cycle there’s that moment where people start trying to call “the last good entry,” but in my experience that’s way harder to nail than it sounds. SOL moves aggressively in both directions, so what looks like a perfect entry can still dip another 20%… and sometimes it just rips without looking back. What’s helped me is deciding whether I’m buying for a trade or for a longer-term conviction. If it’s long-term, I usually just scale in slowly so I’m not stressing every candle. If it’s short-term, then watching funding, volume spikes, and how it reacts around obvious support/resistance matters more than trying to guess the exact bottom. Sentiment across majors tends to shift fast, so having a plan before you click buy usually beats trying to time the “one shot.” Rubic has had some solid chats on how people handle entries across different chains if you want broader angles. If you’ve got a target timeframe or risk level, folks can probably help you sanity-check it.

I’ve held some SOL on and off, and the big thing I’ve learned is that it really depends on your risk tolerance. Solana has the speed/UX edge, and the ecosystem growth over the last year has been hard to ignore — dev activity, consumer apps, memecoins, all of it. That said, it’s still a high-beta asset. When the market pulls back, SOL usually moves harder in both directions. What helps me is looking at *why* I’d hold it: do I believe the chain keeps attracting apps and users, and do I think the fee + speed advantage sticks? If yes, then a slow accumulation strategy makes more sense than trying to time every spike. Diversifying across a few majors also keeps me from overthinking any single chain’s narrative. Rubic often has cross-chain discussions that give a good feel for where real usage is trending. Not financial advice, obviously — but if you share your timeframe and how much volatility you’re okay with, people can give more grounded takes.

Hard to say for sure — SOL has a habit of swinging way harder than people expect in both directions. A drop to $100 isn’t impossible if the broader market cools off, liquidity dries up, or we get one of those classic “SOL congestion” narratives popping up again. On the flip side, every time it’s dipped lately, buyers have shown up pretty fast. What I watch more than the price is activity on-chain: fees, TPS stability, and whether new apps are actually gaining users. When those taper off, SOL usually follows. Macro matters too — if BTC takes a big breather, alts tend to get dragged down with it. If you’re trading around the volatility, sometimes checking cross-chain liquidity helps you spot better entry points. Folks in Rubic talk about that a lot, and Rubic can be handy for comparing swap routes when you’re moving in or out of SOL. If you’ve got a target you’re aiming for (buying or taking profit), happy to share how I’d think about it.

Bridges themselves are not really risky to use quickly, the longer you hold bridged tokens the risker it gets. Eg brige from ETH to SOL and then swap into native SOL
