Solana is shedding its memecoin reputation as big banks move billions into its e

[Oshosondy]

Wall Street and payment giants are quietly taking over Solana, moving billions onto the network for tokenized funds and global payments even as the broader crypto market cools down, according to a new report by Messari.

I hope you understand what this is. There is a reason a coin will pump, I think coins that have RWA tokens could still rise in the next bulk run because they are what people are talking about now.

Solana is among them.

The next one that I know is ondo.

What do you think?

I think we can gamble with these two coins.

If that's good news for Solana, it should start pumping right away, but as you can see, it also follows what BTC is doing these days.
Or maybe they just announced it to test how it can attract investors since there are different types of news. I think this one is a counterpart of FUD. Let's see how Solana will perform next week.

I might stay or keep a long position with Tron since this is the only coin right now against the BTC from before until now.

Actually market rarely care about big banks getting into the blockchain, quite the opposite the most people's opinion that they would bring some good pump.
We've been having some news about large corporations integrating and even making a fund inside the blockchain, there were news about visa doing settlement in solana for their neobank cards, market didn't even move.

I do not think so. However, big banks can manipulate some coins to pump, but it is too risky for them to help Solana pump when the BTC is against it.
These institutions or banks must also be able to analyze charts; otherwise, it is a gamble.

Honestly, I am more on technical analysis; I only put 15% of my time into fundamentals and 85% into technical analysis. I can't find momentum to buy more on Solana except selling momentum. 

By reading the article, do they ever mention what date or when they do that? Based on what I understand, that they tokenized their funds for me it means they converted their funds to any stablecoin like USDT backed by the Solana network, but there is no action yet if what they are going to do with those funds.

So, from what I understand, this is just a plan, and once BTC pumps again, Solana will follow, as well as their plan to have Solana pump more. This is just a different scenario, but it could happen or not.

The only thing Solana had going for it was NFT's and memecoins. Combined with huge pumps and very fast and cheap transactions, that was pretty much all it was about. Why change the entire concept now? I would love to know what they are planning with Solana? Is their entire userbase not comprised of mainly gamers who are not really into anything else besides memecoining? Are they trying to take a gamble on this new transformation?

I never considered Solana as a memecoin. Yeah, a lot of memecoins were indeed made on the SOL blockchain, and they were encouraging all that action but Solana itself was never a meme coin, I'd argue. I haven't heard much about Ondo, will check it out.

If I remember correctly, I have read similar news about XRP lots of times but not seeing anything reflecting on the price level of XRP. But comparing XRP with SOL must not be right because XRP has ruined its own reputation with hundreds of pump and dump incidents.

XRP adoption was pseudo adoption, it never attracted institutional adoption at all but just an empty noise, which is the reason why XRP price is stagnating.
Solana adoption is a real deal involving low to mid 9 figure number which is great, if they keep up Solana could experience another gigantic bull.
