ChainCatcher news, DWF Ventures stated on platform X that the market capitalization of the TRUMP token soared over $70 billion within less than 48 hours of its launch, driving significant capital inflow into the Solana ecosystem and a surge in the number of active addresses on-chain, which also led to an exponential increase in demand for platforms like DEX on the Solana chain. It is certain that under the leadership of the Trump administration, the favorable factors for the development of cryptocurrency outweigh the negative ones. Many will ask, what will be the next direction of the market? Will attention shift back to AI? Or will it turn towards DeFi and SocialFi?Cryptocurrency is essentially a social movement driven by emotions and collective beliefs towards a certain goal. The success of TRUMP showcases the power of collective strength, and we will see more such phenomena in the future as communities promote their own narratives. The flow of this "hot money" will continuously revolve around different narratives, and the speed of this rotation is faster than ever before. Amidst the noise, a few projects will stand out and maintain relevance across multiple cycles, which is where the greatest returns come from. In the coming months, we may see more volatility rather than a one-sided rise. However, the future of cryptocurrency remains very positive.

ChainCatcher news, Multicoin Capital founder Kyle Samani stated in his latest Solana investment paper that Solana is the leading public chain supporting internet capital markets. Furthermore, Solana, as a technology, can outperform major traditional finance (TradFi) participants (including NYSE, NASDAQ, CME, JPM, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley in financial markets, as well as Visa and Mastercard in payments) on core performance metrics such as latency, while retaining core blockchain attributes that TradFi has never offered (atomic composability and permissionless access for users, developers, and validators). Most importantly, the Solana ecosystem is capable of achieving both a 90-99% reduction in end-user financial service fees and a higher total market capitalization than existing TradFi enterprises.Samani also mentioned that the Solana ecosystem is fully committed to realizing the vision of internet capital markets. Solana simultaneously improves execution for market makers through conditional liquidity and enhances acceptance through multiple concurrent leaders. Additionally, the Solana ecosystem is horizontally expanding its TAM (by supporting a wider range of TradFi and crypto-native assets) and vertically expanding its TAM (by capturing some MEV from the numerous financial services built on Solana).
