$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.
