What’s up everybody! Welcome back to another episode of SOLANA WEEKLY! I'm your host, Thomas Bahamas. After a short break, we're diving back into the world of Solana with some exciting updates and insights.

Highlights:

  • Solana Price Analysis: Currently at $23.95. We witnessed a sharp rise from just under $19, aligning with the broader narrative.

  • SolEth Performance: A remarkable rise of over 20%. This surge is significant, especially with Ethereum's recent news about the launch of a futures ETF and Grayscale's application to transition ETHE to an ETF. (Side note: Not a fan of Grayscale!)

  • Sol BTC Update: We're seeing a notable uptick, and it's impressive given Bitcoin's strong performance.

  • Token Talk:

  • SPL/S**t token season: How do we navigate this?

  • Mentions: Bonk bit, OPOS, Bonk, Bern.

  • Social finance updates: A slowdown in Social fi, with Friendzy hitting a pause.

  • Friend tech's vulnerability to sim swaps: A reminder to secure your 2FA on Twitter.

  • Quekz's momentum and the prevailing narrative around Breakpoint.

  • DeFi on Solana: Despite the token's price being 10% off its ATH, TVL has reached new heights.

  • Alt L1's: A surge in mentions of Sui, Aptos, and even Avax. While we might see some short-term gains, the long-term prospects remain uncertain.

  • Tax Talk:

  • The looming threat of regulatory capture and the potential risks associated with it.

  • The importance of accurate tax reporting, especially with platforms like TurboTax moving towards crypto support.

  • Personal note: I've decided to engage 'cryptotaxsucks' on Twitter to review my 11,000+ transactions. It's an investment in peace of mind and ensuring compliance.

Join us for all this and more on SOLANA WEEKLY. Stay informed and stay ahead!
