#jup #sol 🤔 Solana, without embellishment: there are far fewer real traders than it looks. A recent study of Jupiter activity by Eekeyguy reveals an uncomfortable truth about the Solana network: - 40–50% of Jupiter’s trading volume is pure bot arbitrage, not real traders. - At least 50% of total DEX volume on Solana is arbitrage bots (on some days up to 70%). - Only 22–27% of all trades go through Jupiter bots; the rest use custom solutions that are harder to track. - Eekeyguy admits his methodology captures only 40–60% of real arbitrage activity. The true figure could be higher. - What this means: when you see “huge trading volumes on Solana,” half of it (or more) may be bots buying a token on one DEX and selling it on another to profit from price differences. There are far fewer real people there than it seems. - Previously: rumors about the collapse of SOL

#twt David Schwartz: Crypto wallet makers, don’t require mandatory software or firmware updates unless absolutely necessary. Sometimes we need to act quickly, and forcing hurried updates to access a feature creates unnecessary risk. For reference, Trust Wallet has had problems in the past.

🧠 Messari's annual report shows a shift from the hype of past cycles to solid economic logic. 1️⃣ BTC remains the only “monetary” asset in crypto — when fear spikes, the market returns to it. 2️⃣ Most L1 alts will be weaker than BTC: speed and cheap transactions don’t equal trust as money. 3️⃣ ETH looks institutionally clear, but in dynamics it often resembles a strengthened version of BTC. 4️⃣ Stablecoins are the main mass-use case: payments and settlements, not “revolutionary” narratives. 5️⃣ The market punishes tokens without a real economy — promises no longer suffice. 6️⃣ DeFi is maturing: fewer fairy tales about APY, more income from fees, spreads and funding. Messari’s conclusion: crypto is becoming financial infrastructure, not a story of eternal growth. By 2026, assets with trust, stable demand and real value capture will survive — the market won’t credit the rest on faith alone.

Platinum: projected +170% in 2025 🤑

🎲 2025 was a turning point for crypto derivatives: the market moved from retail speculation to an institutional model with ETFs, regulated infrastructure, and on-chain solutions. Institutional capital became the main driver of growth, and Bitcoin began behaving more like a high‑risk asset, fueling October’s record liquidations — more than $19 billion in a single day. Total trading volume reached $85.7 trillion, signaling greater maturity. Yet high concentrations of leverage and liquidity remain systemic risks heading into 2026.
