Solana remains bullish through a mini onchain bear season because it keeps producing real innovation and novel products from really smart developers. Onchain activity is just as weak on Robinhood's chain and BNB, but once it picks back up, Solana's products and coins should rerate. x.com 

Solana is harder to fade because StonkFun's launchpad generated over $20 million in revenue in the last 30 days. SOL price action should follow. x.com 

Pump.fun's continuing Solana sales add selling pressure ahead of a predicted move to $95 before the weekend. It sent another $14m of SOL to Kraken and has sold $875m since 2024 at an average of $160. x.com 

Solana is becoming a one-stop shop for all of finance rather than just a memecoin casino, and could easily triple from here. Tokenized-asset spot volume on Solana hit an all-time high of about $5.7B in Q2, a sign real-world assets are finding liquidity onchain; memes brought attention, tokenized markets bring structure. World's launch put a prediction market directly inside Phantom. Solana's token inflation is a worry that hopefully gets fixed. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Solana is now a much larger coin and has already had its big growth phase, so Bitcoin should recover first. Solana moves about 1.35x as much as Bitcoin, so a 1.5x Bitcoin move implies roughly $195-$200, not the $234 level at Bitcoin's $125K high. Solana should still reclaim its old high later this cycle. x.com  x.com 

Solana is struggling to sell blockspace, a commodity racing to zero, while heavily diluting holders. At this year's rate, fees come to about $300M against roughly $2.4B of newly minted SOL, and fees are down about 79% year over year amid competition from Ethereum, Base, Hyperliquid, Near and others. SOL is not money either, so neither a profitable-chain nor a monetary-premium bull case holds. Nasdaq earns 17x what Solana does while buying back about twice as much and issuing no shares. x.com  … Show more

Solana's on-chain growth should soon show up in its price. Per @gemtoast, Solana has handled over 50% of daily crypto transactions for months and recently did about twice the rest combined. x.com 

Solana's tokenized-equity spot momentum bolsters its case as an onchain equities venue. SolanaFloor reports Solana reclaimed first place in daily spot volume, exceeding all other chains combined. Solana may not compete with Hyperliquid in perps, but that does little to change this bullish view. x.com 

Solana has lost its moats: speed and retail mindshare carried it this cycle, and every narrative it was meant to own now has a stronger competitor. Memecoin attention is spreading to Robinhood, BNB and Base, Robinhood is coming for tokenized stocks, and Hyperliquid owns perps. Solana's perps did $8.9B last week, which Hyperliquid often does in a day. As more volume settles in its $15.5B of stablecoins, SOL matters less beyond gas. Pump.fun has sold about 4.8M SOL and expanded beyond Solana. … Show more

Solana's 85-fold improvement in finality has yet to show up in SOL's price. Finality fell from 12.8 seconds to about 150 milliseconds yesterday, while SOL slipped 2% and sits near $104 in the accumulation zone. Most won't notice until price does. x.com
