Чи зможе Solana (SOL) піднятися вище $200 на фоні бичачих настроїв?
Solana (SOL) зазнала вражаючого зростання цього тижня, піднявшись на понад 25% і досягнувши позначки в $200. Це зростання цін відповідає ширшому зростанню крипторинку після виборів у США, які сигналізували про про-крипто адміністрацію. Зростання Solana також співпало з ключовими розробками в екосистемі, включаючи запуск cbBTC на Solana від Coinbase, дебют Eclipse та бум мемоїнів, ініційований Pump.fun. Швидкий Огляд Ціна SOL підскочила на 25% цього тижня, підживлена попитом і сильними метриками на ланцюгу. Рівень в $200 знаходиться у фокусі, з потенціалом пробити вищий опір на рівні $210. Coinbase запустила обгорнутий Біткоїн (cbBTC) на Solana, розширюючи можливості DeFi. Eclipse, перша Ethereum layer-2 мережа на базі Solana, стала доступною. Відкритий інтерес до ф'ючерсів SOL досяг рекордних висот, що свідчить про зростаючий інтерес інституцій. Вклади в стейкінг зросли, зменшуючи доступну кількість SOL для торгівлі та зміцнюючи стабільність мережі. Рекордний Відкритий Інтерес до Ф'ючерсів SOL на Рівні 21.1M SOL SOL OI-Weighted Fund Rate | Джерело: CoinGlass Відкритий інтерес до ф'ючерсів Solana також досяг рекордних висот, відображаючи сильний інституційний попит. Відкритий інтерес до ф'ючерсів досяг 21.1 мільйона SOL цього тижня, що є новим максимумом у номінальних термінах зі значенням $4 мільярди. Це збільшення важелів сигналізує про потенційну волатильність, але також підкреслює популярність SOL серед інституційних інвесторів. Поточна ставка фінансування ф’ючерсів SOL знаходиться на збалансованому рівні 0.017%, показуючи помірно бульбашковий настрій без надмірного використання кредитного плеча. Така стабільність може дозволити ціні SOL продовжувати свою висхідну траєкторію, якщо попит залишатиметься високим, а ліквідації будуть під контролем.

Цей хід зменшує торгівельну пропозицію SOL на біржах, що зазвичай підтримує зростання цін під час періодів високого попиту. Наразі понад 397 мільйонів SOL стейковані, що показує, що ключові учасники залишаються відданими довгостроковому зростанню та безпеці мережі. Вищі депозити для стейкінгу також зміцнюють блокчейн Solana, що є важливим фактором, оскільки мережа в минулому стикалася зі стабільністю. Завдяки додатковим активам на стейкінгу, Solana краще підготовлена для обробки збільшених обсягів транзакцій, що може бути вирішальним для підтримки її зростаючого імпульсу.

Відомий як платформа для запуску мем-токенів, Pump.fun випустила понад 3 мільйони токенів, при цьому загальний випуск токенів збільшився на 36% з жовтня. Цей наплив мемкойнів підкріпив активність на децентралізованих біржах (DEXs) в екосистемі Solana, включаючи Raydium, який у жовтні зафіксував обсяг торгів понад 30 мільярдів доларів. Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), провідний токен на Pump.fun, тепер має ринкову капіталізацію в 835 мільйонів доларів. Інші топ мемкоїни, такі як Fwog (FWOG) та Moo Deng (MOODENG), також сприяють обсягу DEX Solana, привертаючи користувачів та інвесторів. Хоча Pump.fun нещодавно випав з топ-10 DeFi протоколів за зборами, він залишається впливовим у секторі мемкоїнів, забезпечуючи високі транзакційні збори та сприяючи он-чейн метрикам Solana. Coinbase Wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC): Розширення досяжності DeFi Solana У значному кроці для DeFi Solana, Coinbase ввела упакований Bitcoin (cbBTC) на блокчейні Solana. Цей новий актив дозволяє користувачам Solana отримувати доступ до ліквідності Bitcoin у швидко зростаючій DeFi екосистемі Solana. Завдяки cbBTC, DeFi протоколи Solana тепер можуть підтримувати транзакції, забезпечені Bitcoin, кредити та інші фінансові послуги, критичну функцію, яка раніше вимагала мостів Ethereum або інших непрямих методів. Це додавання також вирішує проблему, залишену крахом soBTC, попереднього упакованого токена Bitcoin Solana, який зазнав невдачі під час краху біржі FTX. Як перший нативний токен Coinbase на Solana, cbBTC надає високоліквідний варіант для власників Bitcoin, який вже циркулює з початковим постачанням у 10 мільйонів доларів. Цей розвиток може ще більше покращити DeFi екосистему SOL, пропонуючи користувачам більше варіантів і узгоджуючись із ширшою стратегією Solana щодо розширення он-чейн утиліти. Запуск Eclipse: З'єднання Ethereum та Solana Ще однією ключовою подією в екосистемі Solana є запуск Eclipse, першої Ethereum мережі другого рівня, заснованої на Solana. Eclipse поєднує в собі сильні сторони обох ланцюгів—ліквідність та децентралізацію Ethereum зі швидкістю та низькими транзакційними витратами Solana. Використовуючи Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Eclipse дозволяє користувачам здійснювати транзакції в мережі Ethereum більш економно, при цьому отримуючи вигоду від швидкості транзакцій Solana. Запуск Eclipse знаменує собою унікальну інтеграцію, яка об'єднує дві найбільші екосистеми блокчейну, відкриваючи можливості для децентралізованих додатків у DeFi, споживчих додатках і геймінгу. Успішне фінансування проєкту на суму $65 мільйонів підкреслює інтерес галузі до цієї гібридної моделі, яка може відіграти ключову роль у майбутній взаємодії блокчейнів.

Ціновий графік SOL/USDT | Джерело: KuCoin Зараз SOL торгується близько $196, і рівень $200 знаходиться в досяжності. Цей психологічний рівень може привернути більше покупок, якщо він буде перевищений, що потенційно налаштує токен для тестування опору на рівні $210. Прорив тут може відкрити шлях до ще більших вигод, з цілями близько $225. Однак, якщо SOL зустріне опір, підтримка очікується на його середньозваженій ціні за обсягом (VWAP) у $189. Зниження нижче цього рівня може призвести до відступу SOL до $171, але недавній приплив активності стейкінгу та сильний відкритий інтерес вказують на те, що зниження можуть бути швидко викуплені. Потенціал зростання Solana: що далі? Зближення ключових подій в екосистемі Solana, від запуску cbBTC до дебюту Eclipse та стрімкого зростання ринку мемкоїнів, вказує на стійкий потенціал зростання. Оскільки швидкість Solana, низькі транзакційні витрати та розширювані опції DeFi приваблюють більше користувачів, бичачий тренд SOL може продовжуватися, особливо якщо ринкові умови залишатимуться сприятливими, а стабільність мережі буде підтримуватися. З досягненням рівня $200 у досяжності, Solana готова скористатися своїми недавніми здобутками, а сильний попит від інституційних інвесторів та сектора мемкоїнів забезпечує міцну основу для майбутнього зростання цін. По мірі того, як SOL продовжує інтегрувати DeFi та мемкоїни, вона зміцнює свою роль як провідного блокчейну в кріптоекосистемі.

Найкращі альткоїни, на які варто звернути увагу в день виборів у США, оскільки Bitcoin досягає нових висот
Біткоїн знову в центрі уваги. На тлі загострення президентських виборів у США, Біткоїн досяг історичного максимуму понад $75,000 в день виборів, що було зумовлено підвищеною волатильністю і спекуляціями щодо результатів виборів. Поки Біткоїн привертає загальну увагу, кілька інших альткоїнів також відчувають зростання, викликане оптимізмом, пов'язаним з виборами, та ширшим інтересом ринку. Давайте розглянемо основні альткоїни, на які варто звернути увагу сьогодні. Швидкий огляд BTC досягає нового історичного максимуму понад $75,000 перед тим, як знизитися, реагуючи на попередні результати виборів. Завдяки виборчому імпульсу, SOL демонструє сильний обсяг DEX, що позиціонує його для зростання до позначки $200, підтриманого міцною технічною структурою та збільшеною активністю в мережі. Зростаючи на 25% на тлі підвищення шансів Трампа на виборах, DOGE використовує культурні зв'язки та позитивні настрої. Прориваючи ключові рівні опору, DOGE може досягти нових висот, якщо бунтарський імпульс збережеться. Слідом за S&P 500, ETH показує потенціал значних прибутків. Аналітики припускають, що кореляція ETH з традиційними ринками може підштовхнути його до нових історичних максимумів, а кити накопичують в очікуванні. З відскоком на 5% на підтримці трикутника, SUI натякає на прорив вище свого симетричного трикутника. Якщо він перевершить опір, SUI може націлитись на нову висоту близько $3, спираючись на перспективну технічну структуру. Зростання обсягів транзакцій у кількох галузях відображає збільшене впровадження. Технічні сигнали LTC вказують на потенційні цілі цін між $72 та $108, а остання активність свідчить про те, що він стає улюбленим платіжним методом для різних секторів.

Це зростання відображає тенденцію до більш практичного використання в різних секторах, від роздрібної торгівлі до ігрової індустрії. Чому зростає ціна Litecoin? Прийняття в різних галузях: Швидкість транзакцій і низькі комісії Litecoin зробили його популярним у таких секторах, як роздрібна торгівля, гостинність і туризм. Багато торговців зараз інтегрують LTC для безперебійних платежів, особливо для міжнародних операцій. Популярність в iGaming: Онлайн-гемблінг сектор, особливо в казино Litecoin, виграє від конфіденційності та миттєвих виплат LTC, роблячи його кращим варіантом для гравців, які цінують конфіденційність. Сплеск обсягу транзакцій: Нещодавній обсяг транзакцій Litecoin досяг найвищого рівня з травня 2023 року, з 512 мільйонами LTC, переміщеними всього за один тиждень. Аналітики вважають це сигналом зростаючої корисності, а не просто торгівлі, що свідчить про ширше прийняття Litecoin для платежів. Можливі рухи ціни: Підвищена активність може призвести до волатильності цін. Нещодавно Litecoin трохи знизився, можливо, через фіксацію прибутку, але його сильна продуктивність мережі може сприяти зростанню в найближчому майбутньому. Прогноз ціни Litecoin Постійне зростання транзакцій і прийняття Litecoin роблять його життєздатним варіантом для цифрових грошей у реальних додатках. Аналітики оптимістичні, з потенційними цілями цін у діапазоні від $72 до $108, хоча недавні індикатори показують змішані сигнали.

Наразі торгується за $3.78, MAGA показав зростання на 14% за останні 24 години, отримуючи переваги як від збільшеного використання мережі, так і від бичачих настроїв, пов’язаних з перспективами виборів Трампа. Чи може MAGA (TRUMP) піднятися вище? Зростаючий попит та активність мережі: Кількість активних адрес MAGA щоденно зросла, показник піднявся з 903 до 2606 за останні кілька днів. Це збільшення активності мережі відображає зростаючий попит на MAGA та свідчить про підвищення залученості користувачів до монети. Зростання мережі: Зростання мережі MAGA, яке вимірює нові адреси, створені в блокчейні, також досягло нових висот. Показник зріс з 326 до 1226, що вказує на підвищене прийняття та увагу до монети, присвяченої Трампу. Акумуляція китів: Дані про розподіл запасів показують, що кити, які володіють від 1 мільйона до 10 мільйонів токенів MAGA, значно збільшили свої володіння, тоді як власники менших гаманців, здається, продавали. Ця тенденція акумуляції серед великих власників вказує на зростаючу впевненість у потенціалі MAGA. Зростання мережевих метрик MAGA та активності китів, разом із підвищеним інтересом до активів, присвячених Трампу, свідчить про те, що MAGA може мати додатковий потенціал для зростання, хоча інвесторам слід залишатися обережними, враховуючи волатильний характер мем-монет.

GRASS Airdrop Eligibility Checker Live Amid Pre-Market Listing
KuCoin has launched pre-market trading of Grass (GRASS), generating excitement ahead of the upcoming GRASS airdrop. The average pre-market price currently stands at 0.87 USDT, showing a promising trend. With the GRASS Airdrop One scheduled for October 28, 2024, at 13:30 UTC, traders and participants are preparing to secure their positions before the official token launch. Quick Take The GRASS token is currently trading at an average price of 0.87 USDT on KuCoin pre-market. For the first Grass Network airdrop, 100 million GRASS tokens—10% of the total supply—will be given out. Those eligible to receive tokens during the Grass airdrop campaign include Alpha testers, GigaBuds NFT holders, and other contributors to the network. As per the project roadmap, the GRASS token will be used for governance, staking, accessing bandwidth, and paying transaction fees within the Grass network. What Is Grass Network (GRASS)? The Grass Network is designed to change how internet connectivity works by letting users sell unused bandwidth through a decentralized model. This contrasts with traditional networks, where corporations control data and profits. With Grass, users earn passive income while maintaining ownership over their contributions. The infrastructure includes routers that connect nodes across regions, ensuring low-latency web traffic. Additionally, the network features Live Context Retrieval (LCR) to provide a transparent search experience without advertising interference. This approach aims to build the first user-owned map of the internet by empowering participants through decentralization.

Why Is Raydium (RAY) Price Going Up Today?
Raydium, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Solana blockchain, achieved a historic feat by generating more fees than Ethereum within 24 hours. On October 21, data from DefiLlama confirmed that Raydium earned $3.4 million in fees, edging out Ethereum’s $3.35 million. This surge underscores the growing traction of Solana-based DeFi protocols in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. Quick Take Raydium briefly outperformed Ethereum with $3.4 million in fees on October 21. Raydium’s success reflects Solana’s increasing dominance in DeFi. RAY token hit its highest price since March 18, driven by increased trading volume. Raydium handled more volume than Uniswap despite being available on fewer chains. Analysts expect Raydium’s upward trend to continue, with targets set above $3.5. Despite Ethereum reclaiming its lead with $3.7 million in fees shortly after, Raydium’s ability to surpass it, even temporarily, marks a significant shift in the DeFi market. Solana's Dominance Drives Raydium’s Trading Volume Over $1B Raydium’s TVL | Source: DefiLlama Raydium's growth aligns with Solana’s expanding DeFi ecosystem. Over the last month, the platform's trading volume surged by 64%, supported by increased interest in Solana's memecoins, such as Popcat (POPCAT) and Cat in a Dogs World (MEW). As of October 23, Raydium managed over $1.2 billion in trading volume, reinforcing its role as a top-tier DEX. The influx of liquidity and trading activity contributed to the rise in Raydium’s total value locked (TVL), peaking at $1.93 billion at the time of writing. This increase in TVL mirrors the broader trend on Solana, which reached a network TVL of $6.67 billion—approaching Tron’s level and signaling intense competition within the DeFi sector. Read more: Top Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) in the Solana Ecosystem Raydium Processed Higher $10.3B in Transactions, Overtaking Uniswap In another remarkable development, Raydium managed more volume than Uniswap, one of the most dominant DEXs in the industry. Over the past week, Raydium processed $10.31 billion in transactions compared to Uniswap’s $10.03 billion, despite Uniswap being available on 19 different chains. This surge highlights Raydium’s strategic advantage, particularly in leveraging Solana’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure, which attracts traders looking for efficiency. With Solana’s memecoin frenzy driving higher volumes, Raydium has cemented itself as a key player in the DeFi sector. Raydium Price Prediction: RAY Price Rallies 157% Since August RAY/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin Raydium’s native token (RAY) has experienced bullish momentum over the past few weeks, outperforming major DEX tokens like PancakeSwap and dYdX. The RAY token hit a recent high of $3.18, representing a 157% increase from its lowest point in August. Analysts suggest that the token could continue its upward trend, with the next target set at $3.5. Key technical indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the MACD signal sustained bullish momentum. The “golden cross” pattern, where the 50-day moving average crosses above the 200-day moving average, further confirms the bullish trend. Can Token Unlocks Pressure RAY Price in the Future? While Raydium's growth is impressive, it faces some challenges. Future token unlocks may introduce volatility, with 263 million RAY tokens currently in circulation out of a maximum supply of 550 million. Additionally, competition from other DEXs and potential regulatory hurdles could impact its trajectory. Looking ahead, Raydium’s success will be closely tied to the broader growth of Solana’s ecosystem. With Solana gaining traction in DeFi and NFTs, Raydium is well-positioned to capitalize on this momentum. Analysts predict steady growth through 2024, with price targets ranging between $5 and $10. Final Thoughts Raydium’s recent performance showcases the growing influence of Solana-based protocols in the DeFi sector. As the platform continues to expand its trading volume and liquidity, it challenges long-standing giants like Ethereum and Uniswap. Raydium's ability to sustain this growth will depend on its capacity to innovate and adapt to market changes. If the current trends persist, Raydium could cement itself as a dominant force in decentralized finance, marking a pivotal shift in the DeFi landscape.

Solana TVL Surpasses $6 Billion Since 2022—What’s Next for $SOL?
Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has hit a major milestone, surpassing $6 billion for the first time since January 2022. The impressive growth marks the revival of Solana’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, signaling increasing confidence in the network’s potential. Let's take a closer look at what’s driving this surge. Quick Take Solana's TVL surpasses $6 billion for the first time since January 2022 with over 40.72 million $SOL locked in DeFi protocols. Raydium leads Solana's DEX resurgence, surpassing Kamino Finance. Solana now commands 31% of DEX volume across all blockchains. Solana’s TVL growth is driven by liquid staking tokens and restaking protocols like Jito and Solayer. DeFi Activity Boosts Solana’s TVL Solana DeFi TVL | Source: DefiLlama As of October 2024, Solana’s TVL reached $6 billion, up from previous lows seen earlier in the year. Over 40.72 million $SOL, or approximately 8.66% of its circulating supply, is now locked in DeFi protocols. This TVL growth isn't just the result of $SOL price appreciation but comes from increased activity in key DeFi protocols. Notably, this figure excludes SOL staked natively, emphasizing pure DeFi engagement. Solana Leads in DEX Volume Solana’s dominance in decentralized exchange (DEX) volume is also contributing to the network's DeFi growth. In the past few months, Solana flipped Ethereum and other blockchains in both 24-hour and 7-day DEX volume metrics. Solana now holds a 31% share in DEX volume across all blockchains, the highest it has seen in two months. This increasing volume signals accelerating on-chain activity, further solidifying Solana's position as a DeFi powerhouse. Read more: Solana vs. Ethereum: Which Is Better in 2024? Raydium Reclaims Its Throne One of the standout contributors to Solana's DeFi revival is Raydium, the blockchain’s largest decentralized exchange (DEX). Raydium has overtaken Kamino Finance, becoming the second-largest protocol by TVL on Solana. This resurgence highlights Solana’s renewed dominance in the DeFi sector. Raydium had been a key player during Solana’s DeFi boom in 2021 but saw its market position decline. Now, it’s back on top, thanks in part to the growing popularity of Solana-based meme coins. Platforms like Pump.fun have helped lock liquidity in Raydium, pushing its TVL higher. The total market cap of Solana-based meme coins recently surpassed $11 billion, further boosting the DeFi ecosystem. Read more: Top Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) in the Solana Ecosystem Jito Crosses $2B TVL as Liquid Staking Tokens and Restaking Protocols Rise Jito TVL | Source: DefiLlama Another key driver behind Solana’s TVL growth is its thriving Liquid Staking Token (LST) ecosystem. Leading the charge is Jito, the largest liquid staking protocol on Solana, which has amassed over $2 billion in TVL. Jito’s rebranding as a restaking protocol has added to its appeal, especially with the rise of restaking in the Solana ecosystem. Solayer, another restaking protocol, has surpassed $204 million in TVL, further contributing to Solana’s DeFi growth. Some crypto exchanges have launched liquid staking tokens on Solana, driving more participation and attracting users to the network. The success of these liquid staking protocols shows the potential for restaking to become a major trend in Solana’s DeFi space. Read more: Restaking on Solana (2024): The Comprehensive Guide How High Can SOL Price Go? SOL/USDT price chart | Source: KuCoin Solana’s growth in DeFi has been mirrored by a price surge for its native token, $SOL. As of October 14, 2024, $SOL hit a peak of $160, up 20.43% over the past seven days. This price increase has also drawn attention to the network's growing DeFi ecosystem, attracting new users and capital. With the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting and positive macroeconomic conditions, the bullish sentiment surrounding Solana shows no signs of slowing down. Key stakeholders continue to lock their $SOL in staking contracts, with $2 billion worth of $SOL staked in recent weeks. Conclusion As Solana’s DeFi ecosystem expands, key players like Raydium, Jito, and Solayer will continue to drive TVL growth. The recent surge in meme coin market cap and Solana's leadership in DEX volume suggest that the network is poised for further success. The combination of rising liquid staking participation, increasing on-chain activity, and growing protocol engagement makes Solana one of the most promising blockchains in the DeFi sector. Solana's DeFi resurgence has lifted its TVL beyond the $6 billion mark for the first time since 2022, largely fueled by strong participation in DeFi protocols, liquid staking tokens, and rising on-chain activity. These developments have positioned Solana as a key player in the DeFi ecosystem. However, while the momentum is encouraging, it's important to remember that the crypto market is highly volatile, and external factors such as regulatory changes or broader market corrections could impact Solana's future growth. Investors should carefully assess the risks and stay informed before making any investment decisions. Read more: Solana Unveils the Seeker Smartphone: A New Era for Web3 Mobile Technology

He emphasized that Gameshift is designed to remove the complexities of Web3 integration, helping game studios focus on what they do best—developing engaging content. “Game studios are already overburdened,” Buser said. “They need solutions like Gameshift that provide simplified technical and cultural interfaces to Web3.” Solana’s Web3 Ecosystem Expands Beyond Smartphones The partnership between Solana Labs and Google Cloud has been instrumental in propelling Solana’s position in the Web3 space. At the 2022 Solana Breakpoint conference, the duo announced several innovations, including a Web3 store and a blockchain-enabled smartphone - Solana Saga. In 2024, they’ve continued to build on this foundation with Gameshift. Developers can now use Google Cloud’s infrastructure to integrate secure blockchain features into their games, enhancing the gaming experience with decentralized services and digital ownership. Read more: Solana Unveils the Seeker Smartphone: A New Era for Web3 Mobile Technology Travala Integrates Solana for Travel Rewards The Solana blockchain isn’t just making waves in gaming. Travala, a crypto-native travel platform, recently announced its integration of Solana for travel bookings and rewards. Through this integration, users can pay for bookings using Solana (SOL) and stablecoins like USDT and USDC. Travala users will also be able to receive up to 10% of their bookings back in SOL rewards via Travala’s loyalty program. Travala’s CEO, Juan Otero, highlighted Solana’s scalability and cost-effectiveness, calling the platform an innovation driver within the blockchain industry. The addition of SOL to Travala’s supported cryptocurrencies allows Solana’s growing user base to enjoy seamless transactions with zero fees. Solana’s DeFi Ecosystem Grows, TVL Crosses $5B Solana DeFi TVL | Source: DefiLlama The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape on Solana continues to expand. For the first time, Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) in DeFi has surpassed $5 billion, thanks to a significant surge in activity across decentralized applications (dApps) on the platform. Jupiter, one of Solana’s leading DeFi protocols, has played a pivotal role in this growth. Its TVL recently reached an all-time high, further strengthening Solana’s position in the DeFi ecosystem. This boom in DeFi activity has contributed to the rising demand for SOL as users interact with protocols on the network. Read more: Top Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) in the Solana Ecosystem Solana’s Challenges: Daily Active Addresses Decline to 3.5M Solana’s active addresses | Source: Artemis Despite Solana’s impressive metrics, challenges remain. Data shows a decline in daily active addresses, which dropped from a one-year high of 5.5 million addresses in September to 3.5 million recently. This indicates that short-term engagement with Solana’s network is slowing, although the long-term outlook remains promising. In terms of decentralized application activity, Solana has seen a dip in dApp volumes. Recent data shows a 70% drop in dApp volumes compared to the high recorded in August 2024. For Solana to continue its upward trajectory, developers must continue to build engaging dApps that attract users and drive demand for SOL. In the previous months of 2024, Solana enjoyed heightened on-chain activity thanks to the memecoin frenzy and the launch of Pump.fun memecoin launchpad. However, Solana-based memecoins experienced a decline in interest among investors as the market sentiment dipped. Additionally, the launch of SunPump memecoin launchpad pulled away memecoin creators and traders from Solana to the TRON ecosystem in summer of 2024. SOL Price Rally Slows: Can It Cross $200? Solana’s native token, SOL, has experienced a rollercoaster year in terms of price action. Recently, SOL bounced from a multi-month support level, surging from $127 to $151. However, on-chain data suggests that Solana’s rally may be losing steam. The long/short ratio currently indicates that traders remain cautious about SOL’s short-term prospects. With slightly more short positions than long ones, market participants are signaling uncertainty about whether SOL can rally to $200 in the near future. However, with continued innovation in Web3 gaming, DeFi expansion, and integrations like Travala, Solana’s long-term fundamentals remain strong. The recent developments at the Solana Breakpoint conference signal that the blockchain is committed to advancing its ecosystem and bridging the gap between Web2 and Web3. Conclusion The launch of Gameshift by Solana Labs and Google Cloud is a major step toward Web3 adoption, simplifying blockchain integration for traditional gaming. While Solana faces challenges like declining network activity and volatile SOL prices, its ongoing innovations and partnerships highlight a strong potential for growth across industries.

Solana Unveils the Seeker Smartphone: A New Era for Web3 Mobile Technology
Meta Description: Discover how the Seeker smartphone by Solana is revolutionizing mobile technology with its seamless integration of decentralized systems and digital currencies. Explore how this cutting-edge device could reshape finance, investments, and the future of mobile tech, offering a glimpse into a world where blockchain and mobile devices merge for a more secure and accessible digital experience. Solana Labs has officially launched its latest innovation, the “Seeker” smartphone which is set to release its second crypto phone in 2025, as announced by Solana Mobile during the Token 2049 conference last Thursday, September 19, 2024. Positioning it as a groundbreaking Web3 mobile device and with a price point that’s almost half of its predecessor, Seeker is designed to appeal to a wider audience while offering enhanced features that go beyond just the memecoin community. The first Solana smartphone, the Saga, faced some criticism for its technical limitations compared to mainstream devices like the iPhone and Google Pixel. However, Seeker addresses those concerns with a superior screen, upgraded cameras, and a more efficient battery, earning it the tagline, “lighter, brighter, and better”. Read more: Top Solana Memecoins to Watch in 2024 Source: Solana Mobile Seeker: A More Accessible Path to Web3 After the sellout success of the Solana Saga, Solana Mobile is back with its next groundbreaking device: Seeker. Launched earlier this year under the codename “Chapter Two”, the Seeker has already generated significant buzz, with over 140,000 units pre-sold in 57 countries. This strong demand has spurred even more development within the Solana community, with teams already building decentralized apps (dApps), rewards, and unique features exclusively for Seeker in anticipation of its release. Anatoly Yakovenko, Solana Co-Founder and CEO of Solana Labs, expressed his excitement about the project: "We founded Solana Mobile with the mission of taking crypto mobile. To achieve that, we needed to make Seeker more accessible, more affordable, and for its hardware and software to be even more deeply integrated for Web3. The support from the Solana community has been incredible, and with features like the new Seed Vault Wallet and the updated Solana dApp Store, we believe Seeker will be the definitive Web3 mobile device when it launches next year." Here’s a closer look at the key features Solana has unveiled for Seeker: Seed Vault Wallet: Seeker will feature a mobile-first crypto wallet designed for Web3 users. Natively integrated with the device, the self-custodial Seed Vault ensures secure and seamless transactions. Double-tap confirmations and simplified account management are just a few of the features Solana has incorporated in collaboration with Solflare to enhance the Web3 experience. Solana dApp Store 2.0: The updated Solana dApp Store will be a game-changer for decentralized applications. With enhanced discoverability for apps across categories such as Payments, DeFi, DePIN, NFTs, AI, and Gaming, users will have an easier time finding and using Web3 tools. The addition of a rewards tracker also promises to add more value to everyday usage. Seeker Genesis Token: One of the most anticipated features of the Seeker is its Genesis Token, a unique soulbound NFT. This token will unlock a wide range of opportunities, from exclusive access to rewards and offers to content within the Solana ecosystem. It's more than just a feature—it's a gateway to deeper engagement with Web3. Improved Hardware: Solana hasn't just focused on the software side. The Seeker is a major hardware upgrade from the Saga, offering a lighter design, a brighter display, improved camera quality, and extended battery life. These improvements ensure that the Seeker can stand toe-to-toe with other leading smartphones while carving out its space as a Web3-centric device. As the rollout of Seeker approaches, excitement is building. With a robust feature set and deep community support, it’s positioned to be a flagship mobile device in the Web3 space, pushing the boundaries of what a smartphone can offer in this rapidly growing ecosystem. Read More: Best Bitcoin Wallets in 2024 Source: X An Open DApp Store: A Hub for Innovation One of the standout features of the Seeker smartphone is its open and unrestricted DApp store. According to Hollyer, the vision behind this platform is to enable developers to launch and deploy their apps rapidly, keeping users at the forefront of new trends and use cases in the decentralized world. If you're excited about being among the first to explore the latest DeFi apps or dive into the next memecoin game, the Seeker's DApp store offers just that. Unlike the restrictive environments of Apple and Google, the Seeker removes barriers by eliminating fees, allowing developers the freedom to innovate and bring their ideas to life without sacrificing a portion of their profits. This model fosters a creative and open ecosystem, positioning the Seeker as a game-changer in the mobile tech landscape. Airdrops Worth $265 for Seeker Users While the Seeker seeks to transcend its predecessor's “memecoin phone” label, the rewards might not be as substantial this time around. Solana’s mobile airdrop tracker, TwoLoot, reveals that Seeker users can expect around $265 worth of airdropped tokens—significantly lower than the $1,350 received by Saga users. Still, Solana emphasizes that Seeker’s true value lies in its potential to provide a more immersive, crypto-integrated mobile experience. One of the standout features is its zero-fee App Store, a space designed for crypto innovation. Unlike traditional app stores run by Apple and Google, which take a hefty 30% cut from developers and impose stringent review processes, Seeker’s app ecosystem is tailored for Web3 projects. This means decentralized token launchpads, like memecoin deployer pump.fun, can thrive without navigating the complex hurdles imposed by current App Store policies. With this focus, Seeker aims to become a hub for token launchpads and a variety of Web3 applications. Source: X Supporting DePIN Apps and Expanding Web3 Possibilities Seeker also plans to integrate with Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) apps, such as Helium and Infield, further advancing its position in the Web3 landscape. Solana has touted the Seeker as “the definitive Web3 mobile device,” with hardware and software seamlessly harmonized for decentralized applications. Read more: Top Crypto Projects in the Solana Ecosystem to Watch in 2024 The Saga and the Success of BONK Seeker’s predecessor, the Saga, launched in May last year but initially struggled to find its footing in a competitive tech market. Early reviews were mixed, with neither tech experts nor crypto enthusiasts showing much enthusiasm. However, a significant change occurred in December when the memecoin Bonk (BONK) surged by 1,000%, leading to a sudden sellout of the Saga by mid-December. Building on that momentum, Solana hopes to replicate some of that success with Seeker. The company reports that around 140,000 people have already pre-ordered the device, priced between $450 and $500. Solana has assured these early adopters that they will have access to various rewards, but stresses that Seeker offers much more than just an opportunity to ride the wave of memecoin trends. Final Thoughts: Seeker’s Future in the Web3 Ecosystem The Seeker smartphone represents Solana’s commitment to making Web3 technology more accessible and practical for everyday use. With its zero-fee App Store, integration with DePIN apps, and a decentralized platform that caters to the evolving needs of crypto users, Seeker is more than just an upgrade from Saga—it’s a leap forward for Web3 mobile devices. While the token rewards may not be as large as some users expected, Solana’s long-term strategy focuses on creating a seamless, integrated experience that puts decentralized applications at users' fingertips. As the Web3 ecosystem continues to evolve, the Seeker smartphone could very well be at the forefront of this mobile revolution. However, challenges remain, including addressing Solana’s past network outages and competing with established mobile giants to ensure the device delivers lasting value.

Polymarket Surges Past $1 Billion in Trading Volume Amid U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Betting Fever
Polymarket has become a leading platform in the crypto betting arena, recently surpassing $1 billion in trading volume. This milestone comes amid a surge in activity driven by the 2024 U.S. presidential election. Quick Take Polymarket surpasses $1 billion in lifetime trading volume. Over $439 million wagered on the U.S. 2024 presidential election. Over one-third of the platform's total lifetime volume was traded in July. The majority of bets focus on U.S. politics and 2024 Olympics. Polymarket’s daily volume and daily active traders | Source: Dune Analytics Polymarket, the leading decentralized betting platform built on Polygon, saw a substantial increase in betting volume in recent months. In July alone, Polymarket recorded $343 million in betting volume, a significant jump from $111 million in June and $63 million in May, according to Dune Analytics. The primary driver? Fevered speculation over the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Read more: What Is Polymarket, and How Does It Work? Over $430M Wagered on US Presidential Election Outcomes Polymarket’s poll on US Presidential Election Winner 2024 | Source: Polymarket As of now, more than $439 million has been wagered on who will win the presidential election on November 4. Former President Donald Trump leads the predictions with 57% odds, while Vice President Kamala Harris has recently seen her chances increase to 40% following President Joe Biden's decision to drop out of the race. Bettors on Polymarket have strong opinions about various outcomes. For instance, Trump’s chances of winning are significantly higher on Polymarket than in traditional polls. This discrepancy highlights the unique dynamics of prediction markets and their potential to offer alternative insights. To further capitalize on the growing interest in U.S. politics, Polymarket brought on election analyst and statistician Nate Silver as an adviser on July 16. This move aims to enhance the platform’s analytical capabilities and provide users with more accurate predictions. Polymarket’s rise has not gone unnoticed. Major media outlets like The Washington Post, Bloomberg, and The New York Times have cited the platform, highlighting its influence and credibility in the prediction market space. While political events have been the main focus, Polymarket also offers prediction markets on crypto, sports, business, and the 2024 Olympic games. The platform’s versatility has contributed to its growing popularity and substantial trading volumes. Read more: Trending PolitiFi Tokens to Watch Before the US Elections Polymarket Sees Increasing Bets on Paris Olympics 2024 Popular Paris Olympics 2024 polls on Polymarket | Source: Polymarket In addition to political events, Polymarket has seen significant activity in its Olympics category. Bettors are staking money on questions like “Who will win the most medals at Paris Olympics?” and “Who will win the most gold?” This new category has attracted millions in digital assets, further boosting Polymarket’s volume. For instance, the polls on which country will win the most medals at the Paris Olympics 2024 have nearly $2 million bets placed in them. Read more: Top Olympics-Themed Memecoins to Watch Amid Paris 2024 Polymarket’s $70M Fundraising in May 2024 and Partnerships Polymarket’s success is backed by significant investments and strategic partnerships. On May 14, the platform closed a $70 million Series B funding round led by Peter Thiel’s Founder Fund, with contributions from Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Additionally, Polymarket partnered with MoonPay on July 24 to enable debit and credit card payments, making it easier for non-crypto users to join the platform. Following the rising popularity of Polymarket, Solana-based Drift Protocol has unveiled plans to launch a new prediction marketplace ahead of the upcoming U.S. Presidential election, according to an announcement on X. This addition aims to provide a decentralized, permissionless platform for trading future event outcomes, emphasizing transparency and accuracy. With over 195,000 lifetime users and $34.5 billion in trading volume, Drift Protocol seeks to enhance user experience by allowing trades using any asset and offering flexible sign-up options. The launch is expected in mid-August, alongside "The Election Center," a hub for meme coin trading related to the election. This move aims to capture a broader audience and challenge the dominance of platforms like Polymarket, which has seen a significant increase in user activity and trading volume. Conclusion Despite its success, Polymarket faces challenges. The platform is unavailable to American users due to regulatory constraints, limiting its potential user base. Additionally, there are concerns about the reliability of prediction markets compared to traditional polls, as evidenced by differing predictions in the U.S. election race. Looking ahead, Polymarket plans to introduce leverage trading, allowing users to open larger positions and potentially reap greater rewards. This move could attract more sophisticated traders and increase the platform’s appeal. Polymarket’s achievement of surpassing $1 billion in trading volume underscores its growing importance in the crypto betting space. With significant backing, strategic partnerships, and a diverse range of betting options, Polymarket is well-positioned for continued growth. However, regulatory challenges and market reliability remain key considerations as the platform evolves.
