Lower your expectations
You can't start off expecting to turn $1k into $1m
When you have these high expectations, you're just going to continuously round trip your gains by chasing instead of taking profit
I know you keep seeing 7 fig pnls on the timeline, but you have to learn to block out that noise
Set small goals along the way, and celebrate the little wins
One step at a time, you'll make it

Will Ethereum remain institutions' top choice?
jonahrobrts breaks down the blockchain competition for TradFi's attention 🤼♂️
========================================
Disruption. Digitization. Financial inclusion. Future-proofing.
What do all of these oft-repeated buzzwords have in common? They’ve all been used by crypto-pilled associates at TradFi firms to pitch their bosses on the exciting upside of blockchain tech. This year, it seems, the executives are listening.
Institutions jumped into crypto more headlong than ever in 2024. Their moves are starting to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi. However, this article isn’t focused on why firms are building onchain. Instead, we are focusing on where these funds are choosing to build.
----------------------------
What’s Happening on Ethereum?
Ethereum is the world’s largest smart-contract blockchain network. It has secured over $90 billion in RWAs, including stablecoins. 2024 has been a big year for the adoption of non-stablecoin RWAs on Ethereum as well, with the network growing its onchain U.S. treasuries, bonds, and cash equivalents from $800 million to over $1 .5 billion and overall non-stablecoin RWA value to $2 .9 billion.
Some of the major players building on Ethereum this year include
Visa, BlackRock and FTI_US
Earlier this month, Visa announced that they are building the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) on Ethereum. This is the company’s biggest step toward crypto adoption thus far. VTAP enables Visa to issue and manage fiat-backed tokens on Ethereum. It is intended to be a sandbox for participating financial institutional partners to create and experiment with fiat-backed tokens. They expect to begin piloting the platform with Spanish multinational bank BBVA in 2025. While the VTAP program is certainly an experiment, it gives credit to the thesis that TradFi will migrate its operations onto Ethereum over the coming decades.
----------------------------
Yet, the success of Ethereum’s competitors highlights a critical point: institutions are no longer bound to a single network. While Ethereum is foundational, blockchains like Solana and Stellar provide alternatives that are increasingly hard to ignore. However, they also present novel interoperability concerns.
Interoperability is central to the future of institutional blockchain adoption. As Visa states in their VTAP press release announcement, the largest benefits of building onchain include easy integration, programmability, and interoperability. Institutions that venture onto non-EVM chains like Solana or Stellar may face challenges in asset liquidity and protocol compatibility. This can lead to reliance on third-party services to bridge assets between chains, which introduces complexity and security risks. Ethereum’s widespread use means that staying within the EVM ecosystem—whether through Ethereum or Layer 2 solutions—remains the simplest and most secure option for institutions.
----------------------------
However, for Ethereum to maintain its lead in the race toward institutional adoption, it must continue to balance world-class security and stability with the performance and scalability that competing chains continue to push. The race to capture the attention of institutional finance will be won by the network that can not only meet today’s demands but also anticipate the needs of tomorrow. Ethereum is well-positioned for now, but staying on top will require constant evolution.

🚨 Britain Gambling Commission pursues Sorare.
According to the British regulator, the web3 fantasy game is a gambling game and therefore operating without a license.
Sorare denies the charge of unlicensed gambling.
“You may have seen the statement made today by the UKGC. Please be assured that this does not change the way our site operates if you are a UK resident. We will continue to operate as normal and you will be able to continue to play as usual.
We of course strongly deny any allegations that Sorare does not comply with UK laws. We have created a new category of games, built an innovative product concept while using emerging technology.
The Commission is misinterpreting and misapplying the law in applying it to Sorare’s business. We are taking steps to ensure this is rectified and have instructed our UK lawyers to challenge the allegations currently being made by the Commission.
We have always maintained a proactive and constructive approach with regulators around the world, and we will continue to do so.”
Says Nicolas Julia, CEO of Sorare.

PayPal, one of the world’s largest financial platforms, continues its mission to deliver blockchain-based services to users and businesses alike.
On September 25, 2024, PayPal announced it would be enabling U.S. merchants to buy, hold, and sell cryptocurrency assets within their business accounts. The move is the latest in a slew of updates made by PayPal as the TradFi giant continues to embrace the cryptocurrency industry.
U.S. Businesses Can Now Store Funds Onchain
Following the successful launch of crypto services for individual users, PayPal remarked that businesses were eager to meet user’s growing demand for more comprehensive crypto services.
"Since we launched the ability for PayPal and Venmo consumers to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrency in their wallets, we have learned a lot about how they want to use their cryptocurrency… Business owners have increasingly expressed a desire for the same cryptocurrency capabilities available to consumers. We're excited to meet that demand by delivering this new offering, empowering them to engage with digital currencies effortlessly." - Jose Fernandez da Ponte, Senior Vice President of Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, and Digital Currencies, PayPal.
PayPal’s commitment to providing merchants with expanded crypto services and flexibility goes beyond buying and selling digital assets. Merchants can now withdraw cryptocurrencies to external onchain wallets.
While PayPal has stipulated that this feature will be limited to “eligible” wallets, the move also opens the door to more businesses becoming involved in DeFi. For example, businesses holding capital might be able to lend out assets in various onchain lending protocols, earning additional yield on a merchant’s treasury.
$PYUSD Solana Supply Down 40% Since ATH
Since launching on Solana on May 29, 2024, $PYUSD enjoyed meteoric growth. Spurred on by generous liquidity provision incentives, $PYUSD’s Solana-based supply surged to over 663.4M tokens based on Step Finance data. This eclipsed Ethereum’s $PYUSD supply, making Solana the unofficial home of PayPal’s crypto services.
However, as $PYUSD reward campaigns have slowed and market conditions improved, the supply of PayPal USD on Solana has declined. At its highest point on August 28, 2024, Solana hosted $PYUSD 65.79% supply dominance.
Based on DeFiLlama data, that figure has since fallen to just 50.4%, with PayPal USD’s Solana-based supply currently sitting at 354M.
It's unlikely that PayPal merchants based in the U.S. will rush to bring their stablecoin holdings onchain and deploy them in Solana DeFi protocols. However, the move highlights PayPal’s willingness to respond positively to customer feedback and integrate blockchain technology into its expansive product suite.

$HONEY , $MPLX , $CROWN Lead Solana Ecosystem Token Performance During Breakpoint
Which native tokens outperformed the market during Solana Breakpoint 2024?
Solana Breakpoint delivered a bounty of massive announcements not only for Solana, but also for a host of applications and projects building in the ecosystem.
However, market dynamics don’t always line up with protocol updates. Hype and speculation can push prices up ahead of the event, only to be met with disappointing price action when teams don’t deliver the news traders are hoping to hear.
On the other hand, projects that were ignored by speculative traders can enjoy solid price appreciation when they deliver unexpected announcements.
In the eyes of the market, who were Solana Breakpoint’s best and worst performers?
Solana Breakpoint Market Dynamics
To illustrate market dynamics during Breakpoint, analysts compiled and analyzed price data from 20 key projects in the ecosystem. Tokens were shortlisted from the following criteria:
In the industry’s top 1,000 tokens by market capitalization.
Made announcements, or participated in Breakpoint panels and debates.
If not presenting at the event, proven ecosystem OGs like Orca and Raydium were included.
Other than BONK Memecoins were excluded. BONK’s inclusion is due to its announcements and significant presence at the event.
Using Step Finance data, prices were pulled from Breakpoint’s opening and compared that with the price recorded at the closure of the event.
While the market anticipated big announcements from the likes of Jupiter and Sanctum, it was the projects that no one expected updates from who performed the best. $HONEY , $MPLX , and $CROWN outperformed the market, while most of the ecosystem remained largely unchanged.
Hivemapper, the company behind $HONEY , shared impressive growth statistics. The DePIN protocol has successfully mapped over 26% of the world’s road network and now sells mapping data to three of the ten largest mapmakers.
Metaplex, one of Solana’s longest-standing infrastructure providers, held a stealthy presentation in The Pod, one of Breakpoint’s smaller spaces. During the session, Metaplex teased the upcoming launch of the Metaplex Aura Network, a mysterious new addition to Metaplex’s product suite.
Finally, Photo Finish announced that its mobile app was approved for distribution on the Apple App Store. According to Photo Finish CEO, this makes the app the world’s first real-money horse racing mobile game approved by Apple.
However, Breakpoint is a relatively short event with plenty of other dynamics influencing price movements. For example, $CLOUD’s appears to have traded sideways during Breakpoint, but it needs to be said that the asset enjoyed an impressive surge both before and after the event.
Despite stale price action throughout Breakpoint, $CLOUD is up 67% on a weekly time frame and has been one of the Solana ecosystem’s best performers, based on Step Finance data.

Crypto markets have suffered noticeable pullbacks following September 10’s highly anticipated presidential debate.
In the wake of self-proclaimed ‘Crypto President’ Donald Trump’s performance, scales have tipped in favor of Kamala Harris, with prediction markets illustrating renewed support for the Democrats.
Crypto Markets Tumble as Republican Confidence Wanes
The presidential debate had a resounding effect on the digital asset market. Following the event, $SOL price has dropped 5.1%, sliding from September 10’s high of $137 .9 to currently trade hands at $130 .84.
Beyond asset prices, CoinMarketCap’s Crypto Fear & Greed Index also dropped from a neutral 46.72 to a fearful ranking of 31.6.
The crypto market’s slide is expected to be due to the wider industry’s assumption that a Trump presidency will be favorable for the blockchain industry.
Commentators argue that Trump’s pro-crypto stance will greatly benefit the sector, with many analysts proposing that the approval of a spot SOL ETF hinges on a Republican victory. Meanwhile, some Solana community members expressed that regardless of who emerges triumphant in November, it will make little difference.
Over the past four years, the Biden administration has loomed large over the crypto industry. Gary Gensler and the S.E.C. (Securities and Exchanges Commission) have been widely criticized by the crypto community for their regulation-by-enforcement approach, which has seen the agency hand out a litany of lawsuits to crypto businesses throughout its time in office.
Volume Spikes on Drift Protocol’s Prediction Market
While Trump and Harris clashed heads on camera, traders took their chance to hit the prediction markets. Drift Protocol’s BET platform, a marketplace enabling users to trade the outcomes of real-world events, enjoyed an impressive surge of trading volume during the debate.
According to Dune Analytics, Drift Protocol’s BET protocol witnessed over $851k in daily trading volume. While falling short of market leader PolyMarket’s $14M daily volume, BET’s dramatic volume spike represented a 1,287% increase over the previous day’s trading.
According to BET’s dedicated market, Trump’s chances of winning the presidential election dropped from 54.2% to 49.5% since the debate began.
$TREMP Down, $KAMA Up
Finally, the landmark debate sent waves of volatility through Solana’s PolitiFi memecoin economy.
Unfortunately for $TREMP holders, crypto markets rejected the Presidential hopeful’s debate performance. $TREMP price crumbled under increased selling pressure, plunging 28% from.19 to currently exchange hands at.135, based on Step Finance data.
Meanwhile, the Kamala Harris-inspired $KAMA saw renewed support. $KAMA surged over 34%, rising from 0.007 to currently trade at.0094. Despite $KAMA’s superior performance, the memecoin still has a smaller market cap ($8.3M) than its PolitiFi rival $TREMP ($14.2M).

After the euphoric highs of Q2, fear and doubt have crept back into crypto markets in recent months.
Amidst the uncertainty Solana’s DeFi ecosystem has shed layers of TVL (Total Value Locked), with the majority of protocol’s losing between 13-18% in USD value on a monthly time frame.
However, despite the market-wide pullback, outperformers have emerged. Which protocols created a liquidity vacuum and expanded their TVL despite ailing markets?
NX FINANCE, LULO LEAD MONTHLY TVL GROWTH
Solana’s DeFi scene has enjoyed newfound momentum and attention throughout 2024. However, the last 30 days indicate a charge in sentiment, with the bulk of Solana protocols suffering significant drops in their TVL.
Despite challenging conditions, several outliers have outperformed the wider market and witnessed continued growth in the face of adversity.
Lending aggregator NX Finance led the charge, enjoying consistent growth in the face of difficult markets. Courtesy of its incentivized rewards program, NX Finance TVL rose 65% in the last 30 days, leading Solana’s top 50 DeFi applications by TVL.
Meanwhile, fellow lending aggregator Lulo Finance continued to rise through the ranks, securing over $30M in Directed Liquidity (DL). With over 92% of its DL, a similar metric similar to TVL, held in stablecoins, Lulo-managed value has increased by 32.27% in the last 30 days.
At first glance, DeFiLlama data suggests that Jupiter’s TVL has risen by 47.22% in the last 30 days. However, this increase is due to the popular analytics platform integrating $jupSOL into Jupiter’s total TVL on August 16, adding approximately $300M worth of funds to the platform.
According to Step Finance data, $jupSOL supply has risen 0.36% in the last 30 days. Coupled with the 2.22% decline in Jupiter perpetual TVL in the same time period, it can be concluded that Jupiter’s total TVL has remained relatively stable in the face of challenging market conditions.
Kamino TVL Climbs Despite Falling Prices
Kamino Finance has been one of Solana DeFi’s most solid performers throughout Q3’s volatility. While lending aggregators like NX Finance and Lulo predominantly hold stablecoins, making them more resilient to market downturn, Kamino accepts deposits from a wider range of more volatile assets.
Despite falling asset prices across the industry, Kamino has emerged as one of Solana’s standout DeFi protocols.
While $SOL price has dropped over 36% since its March 18 high of $202 , Kamino TVL has increased by 12% in USD terms. Denominated in SOL, Kamino TVL has risen by 76% in the same time frame.
JUPITER DOMINATES PERPETUAL TVL ACROSS THE INDUSTRY
Jupiter’s perpetual DEX platform shows no sign of relinquishing its iron grip on derivatives dominance. One of Solana’s largest DeFi protocols, Jupiter’s perpetual DEX is currently the largest onchain derivatives market in the crypto industry.
Boasting over $657M in TVL, Jupiter dominates perpetual market share. According to DeFiLlama data, the Solana-based platform currently accounts for 18.82% of onchain derivatives TVL across the industry.
While Jupiter boasts the highest TVL across all perpetual DEXes, its closest rival still witnesses higher trading volumes. During August, Hyperliquid handled $34 .6B in trading volume compared to Jupiter’s $15 .1B. It’s worth noting that Hyperliquid’s high volume could attributed to its points program, which is expected to influence token allocations ahead of the protocol’s upcoming airdrop

WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST OBSTACLES TO DePIN GROWTH??
In a recent appearance at ETHToronto, Frank Mathis highlights the next steps for DePIN’s future.
GenesysGo founder Frank Mathis is no stranger to the highs and lows of crypto’s thriving DePIN sector.
Drawing on his years of experience, Mathis joined other DePIN thought leaders at ETHToronto, including Helium COO Scott Sigel, to discuss the future of the sector.
“If DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable”
Like many passionate crypto community members, DePIN advocates staunchly argue that DePIN is inevitable. Speaking to hundreds of crypto enthusiasts at ETHToronto, Mathis offered a refreshing point of view.
The GenesysGo founder argues that value creation for contributors is one of the most integral aspects of running successful DePIN networks. Mathis highlighted that, while DePIN promises to reward contributors as decentralized software scales, “it’s shocking how much of that is running on AWS and Google Cloud.”
For example, over 50% of Ethereum node operators are hosted on AWS, Hetzner, and OVH servers.
Reiterating the importance of wealth creation for contributors, Mathis contends “what DePIN really is, is an attempt to take one of the most centralized layers of the stack and decentralize that amongst the people such that they start to participate in the growth and success of these models.”
GenesysGo’s ShdwDrive is one such example. The decentralized storage solution empowers users to earn $SHDW tokens by providing unused mobile storage to a distributed network, directly generating income from a device that lives in their pocket.
Reflecting the ideal DePIN model proposed by Mathis, network contributors benefit from the growth and success of the platform. The GenesysGo founder reinforced this notion, opining “DePIN is only as inevitable as the value that participants in the network get from it… if DePIN solves that, DePIN is inevitable.”
POOR PERFORMANCE “ONE OF THE BIGGEST FAILINGS OF DePIN”
On paper, the benefits of DePINs are obvious. However, in practice, these platforms often sacrifice performance and scalability in favor of decentralization. While this aids in value creation for contributors and increases security, it actually hamstrings performance and growth.
DePIN is often considered the natural evolution of the sharing economy, which delivered iconic businesses like Uber and Airbnb.
Drawing parallels between the pearls of the sharing economy and emerging DePIN projects, Mathis illustrated that “Uber became highly successful, not just because you’re able to share in pieces of things you don’t use everyday.. but because it worked well, it was fast, it was easy to use.”
Mathis argues that for DePIN projects to truly take off, they need to rival the performance standards set by centralized industry leaders. Referencing his experience with GenesysGo, the founder posits “in our case, our first principle [is] decentralized storage needs to be as fast, as secure, as stable, and perform every bit as well as a traditional Web2 cloud service.”
ABSTRACTION IS KEY
The Web3 user experience has long been considered one of the industry’s biggest obstacles to adoption. The complexities of wallet management and security have discouraged newcomers to space for over a decade, and continue to repel potential users today.
Mathis insists that abstracting the end-user experience away from blockchain technology is key to the success of the industry. Reinforcing this belief, the founder affirms “Your end user shouldn’t know that they’re interacting with Web3”
Looking towards the future, Mathis considers DePIN regulation will present a significant obstacle to the sector’s growth. However, instead of taking a chagrined approach to future regulatory concerns, the GenesysGo founder suggests that DePIN projects need to take on some responsibility.

Continuing to defy the expectations of the wider crypto market, Solana has outperformed digital asset rivals like Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH).
During a forgettable week for crypto markets, Solana has bucked the bearish trend, enjoying positive inflows amidst a sea of red.
SOL LEADS WEEKLY INFLOWS ACROSS TOP DIGITAL ASSETS
While much of the crypto market succumbed to bearish forces last week, Solana showed plenty of resilience. According to CoinShares data, Solana digital asset products attracted over $7 .6M in net inflows, outperforming both Bitcoin (-$319M) and Layer 1 rival Ethereum (-$5.7M).
However, despite positive inflows in digital asset products, $SOL price suffered a significant decline. Over the past week, Solana has dropped 15.45%, sliding from $157 .2 to currently exchange hands at $132 .91, based on Step Finance data.
In this sense, Solana has underperformed both $BTC and $ETH , which lost 7.5% and 7.3% respectively over the same period.
The diverging trends highlight a curious dynamic. Despite Solana suffering a more significant price drop than both $BTC and $ETH , institutional inflows for Solana-based digital asset products were positive.
Solana’s favorable performance suggests higher demand from institutional investors and traders, who are taking advantage of turbulent market conditions to establish positions heading into Q4.
Alternatively, the comparatively smaller range of Solana-based products allows for a reduced sample size, which could skew results. The abundance and accessibility of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs mean that these assets are likely to witness more consistent trading behavior.
MONTHLY STABLECOIN INFLOWS INCREASE BY 21%
Beyond positive digital asset product inflows, the Solana network also enjoyed increased stablecoin flows.
Having continually grown throughout 2024, Solana’s monthly stablecoin inflows increased by 21%, rising from $371M in July to $449M in August.
The growth indicates a growing desire for greater liquidity onchain. The trend is further supported by an increase in the total value of bridged assets arriving on the Solana network.
According to data provided by deBridge and Artemis, over $345M worth of assets were bridged to Solana from alternative chains, a 23% increase from the $280M bridged in July. August’s bridge traffic included over $279M from Ethereum, the industry’s largest Layer 1 network.
The inflow of capital suggests that investors and traders could be eager to establish positions in both Solana’s thriving DeFi scene and the ecosystem’s native tokens. With increased liquidity arriving onchain, network participants hope that the Solana ecosystem can maintain its bullish trajectory in Q4.

In a move that could significantly reshape the Solana DeFi landscape, Renzo Protocol and Jito Network have joined forces to introduce $ezSOL , the first-ever Liquid Restaking Token (LRT) on the Solana blockchain. This groundbreaking partnership combines Renzo's expertise in liquid restaking with Jito's MEV-enhanced validator network, promising to unlock new levels of capital efficiency and yield optimization for Solana users.
JITO'S RECENT FORAY INTO RESTAKING
This development comes just weeks after Jito, a leading Solana liquid staking protocol, officially entered the restaking market. The protocol released Jito Restaking, an open-source module designed for the Solana blockchain, supporting both staking, restaking, and LRTs. This move signaled Jito's ambition to expand its offerings and capitalize on the growing interest in restaking within the Solana community.
Renzo brings a wealth of experience from successful Ethereum protocols like EigenLayer and Symbiotic, where it currently boasts a TVL of $1 .28 billion, having reached a peak of $4 billion in June.
UNDERSTANDING LIQUID RESTAKING TOKENS(LRTs)
Restaking, a concept gaining traction on Ethereum, allows users to restake their staked assets to secure additional networks and protocols, thereby earning additional rewards. LRTs take this a step further by providing users with a liquid representation of their staked assets, which can be used across various DeFi protocols while still earning staking rewards.
$ezSOL : UNLOCKING NEW POSSIBILITIES
$ezSOL , minted using JitoSOL as the underlying staked asset, leverages Jito's MEV-enhanced validator network to offer users the potential for compounded rewards from staking, restaking, and MEV extraction. This unique combination makes $ezSOL a powerful tool for maximizing yield within the Solana DeFi ecosystem.

🚨 Highlight of the interview between Elon Musk and Trump:
👉 The interview began with Elon Musk discussing a massive DDoS attack that severely disrupted and delayed the live broadcast, originally scheduled for 8 p.m. Musk said the incident clearly revealed the strong opposition to President Donald Trump's speech:
🔹 "This massive attack shows that there is a lot of opposition to people simply hearing what President Donald Trump has to say."
🔹 Elon Musk then found it fascinating that Thomas Crooks chose the most obvious location for an assassination attempt, although no one anticipated it.
🔹 “If the goal is to assassinate, what would be your favorite place? This building. This building would be number one,” Elon Musk remarked. Donald Trump agreed: “That would have been the most appropriate place.”
👉 Elon Musk then expressed his admiration for Trump's reaction to an assassination attempt. He praised the president's determination not to be defeated by this dramatic event, but to continue to fight with a firm will and a spirit of defiance.
🔹 “Your actions following this assassination attempt have been truly inspiring,” said Elon Musk.
👉 The conversation then turned to politics, with Donald Trump voicing scathing criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris for what he called blatant hypocrisy.
🔹 Donald Trump accused Harris of plagiarizing one of his proposals, that of abolishing taxes on tips, while at the same time supporting increased IRS surveillance of citizens' tips. He denounced this inconsistency by declaring: "These people are FAKES", highlighting the contrast between past actions and current positions.
🔹 Donald Trump recalled that the previous administration had hired 88,000 new IRS agents to closely monitor tips received by waitresses and carts. According to him, this policy was mainly aimed at increasing surveillance and imposing additional burdens on workers in these sectors.
🔹 However, Donald Trump pointed out that Harris had recently adopted his proposal to eliminate tip taxes, which he said illustrated political opportunism. He accused Harris of changing her position in response to political pressure, saying that the move was designed to improve her image and gain political advantage, while remaining at odds with the policies she previously supported.
👉 Elon Musk then expressed grave concern about the future of the United States if current border policies continue.
🔹 "I'm not sure we'll have a country anymore if open borders continue for four years," he warned.
🔹 Donald Trump added that if Kamala Harris were elected, it could lead to the arrival of 50 to 60 million people from various countries around the world.
🔹 “Inflation comes from government overspending because checks never bounce when they are written by the government,” Musk explained. He suggested the creation of a “government efficiency commission” to review and reduce wasteful spending, noting that interest payments on the national debt have now exceeded the defense budget, a situation that demands immediate action.
👉 Finally, Elon Musk addressed the subject of censorship, expressing harsh criticism towards Thierry Breton, the European Commissioner, whom he accuses of having tried to censor his conversation with Donald Trump.
🔹 Elon Musk referred to Breton's warning, who had said: "With a larger audience comes greater responsibility." This statement was perceived by Musk as an attempt to limit freedom of expression, which prompted him to react strongly.
🔹 To express his displeasure, Elon Musk shared a provocative meme addressed to Breton, asking him to “take a big step back and literally fuck off.” This reaction underlined his firm opposition to any form of censorship, especially when it seems to target freedom of expression on public platforms.
👉 Elon Musk then highlighted the way Donald Trump had handled freedom of expression during his first term.

BTC, yesterday there was a re-test of the 60,000 level, which could not be immediately returned. Let me remind you that a lot of important data will be released this week, with the help of which the market can turn around if there is good data. The right step is to wait for this news within a week, make an action plan, place limit orders and wait. There is no place to pour free fiat directly into the current ones. We also read the post above, which describes the local support levels.
the withdrawal from the exchanges exceeds the input - 18%, 1,200 btc
Altcoins, the situation is similar here. I keep a free fiat until the data is released. Yesterday, as we saw, most altcoins showed growth, as a result of a slight correction in the dominance of Bitcoin. Subject to a deeper correction of Bitcoin's dominance, one can imagine what percentages of growth altcoins can show. There is not much time left to recruit altcoins. The correction in the market cannot be eternal...The growth of altcoins is a matter of time.

Aiming to streamline and simplify the Solana user experience, Fuse Wallet has unveiled yet another creative tool. After delivering Solana’s leading multisig solution and developing a seed phraseless smart wallet, Fuse is finally bringing gas abstraction to Solana.
What is gas abstraction, and how does it facilitate simplified applications on the Solana blockchain?
HOW DOES GAS ABSTRACTION WORK
In an eagerly awaited update, Fuse Wallet has finally implemented gas abstraction. A helpful onboarding tool, gas abstraction makes Solana gas payments simpler than ever before by expanding the ways in which users can pay transaction fees.
Through the platform’s Paymaster feature, Fuse Wallet’s native LST (Liquid Staking Token), fuseSOL can be automatically converted to SOL to pay transaction fees. This gives users greater flexibility by enabling them to deploy all their SOL throughout the ecosystem while still enjoying the staking rewards provided by fuseSOL.
Essentially, Fuse Wallet’s Paymaster feature ensures that your wallet always maintains a minimum balance of fuseSOL that is sufficient to pay transaction fees. Kept separate from your main balance, the Paymaster also allows for a daily spending limit of 0.1SOL.
While for now, this might sound as simple as using fuseSOL for transaction fees instead of SOL, the future implications allow for a far more diversified onchain landscape.
WHY IS THIS HELPFUL?
In the future, Fuse Wallet expects that users will be able to pay gas fees using any supported cryptocurrency, like USDC. Successful implementation of gas abstraction means that users are no longer required to hold SOL in their wallets, enabling them to explore the Solana ecosystem with greater freedom and simplicity.
Additionally, gas abstraction will make it possible for applications to cover the costs of network transaction fees on behalf of their users. This feature eliminates a massive friction point that hampers adoption and helps new users join the onchain economy.
Commentators on social media have lauded the move as a bold step forward for crypto onboarding.
