⚡️ The Solana ecosystem has challenged Ethereum.

Last weekend, DEX trading volume on SOL outpaced ETH for the first time ($1.2 billion versus $1.1 billion, respectively).

During the week, the volume of DeFi trading on Solana increased by 37%, and TVL — by 16%.

The main reason why users began to interact more with Solana is a series of past and future retrodrops from Jito, Jupiter, Pyth, BONK, etc.

Multicoin co-founder: There will be a ton of airdrops for Solana Saga owners over the next 12 months.

Meanwhile, Saga smartphones are already being resold on eBay for between $2,000 and $5,000 per phone (the standard price is $499-$600).

People are increasingly using stablecoins for cross-border payments, as it is faster and cheaper.

👀 The Economist: “Bitcoin has established itself as a serious asset.”

“Why did BTC grow by 150% in 2023?”

1️⃣ Cryptocurrencies (such as #BTC, #ETH, etc.) are not companies, so they cannot go bankrupt.

2️⃣ Storing cryptocurrencies is a bet on the future, where blockchain technologies will spread widely in real life. BTC and stablecoins are already used in many countries for the purpose of storing savings or payments.

3️⃣ As time goes on, it becomes clear that "cryptocurrency is not a bubble."

4️⃣ The Bitcoin rally is driven by interest among institutions, which makes the first cryptocurrency a "serious asset.”

🇺🇸 Goldman Sachs: “We expect 3 Fed rate cuts of 25 bps in March, May and June 2024.”

▪️ Morgan Stanley:
- Market expectations of a Fed rate cut in March are exaggerated.

Market expectations (Fed rate):
- The Fed will cut the interest rate 3 times in 2024 (March, May, June).

▪️ Goolsbee, Chairman of the Federal Reserve:
- The market has fallen into euphoria due to a possible Fed rate cut.
- The Fed should not follow the wishes of the market, they are ahead of reality.
- The main thing for the Fed is the dynamics of inflation.

▪️ Bostic, Chairman of the Fed:
- I think that in the next 6 months, inflation will decrease relatively slowly.
- This means that the Fed does not need to abandon the restrictive PREP.

▪️ Barkin, Chairman of the Federal Reserve:
- The Fed will react if inflation starts to decline steadily.

The price of the Solana (SOL) cryptocurrency continues its upward movement, increasing by 13.5% over the last day to $87.46.

Over the week, the SOL exchange rate increased by 20.9%, and over the month — by 54.1%, increasing the market capitalization by $ 4 billion. The amount of assets blocked for staking in the Solana blockchain has reached $1.21 billion. Taking these factors into account, further growth of Solana is possible, perhaps even to the level of $100.

🗣 Arthur Hayes sold his SOLS for $ 100 and bought more ETH

While meditating, I received a message from the Lord. He said, throw away this coin of Sam's and confess your love to the Archangel Vitalik.

So I dropped the SOL and bought more ETH.

ETH = $5000
