Solana processes 40% of L1 throughput amid memecoin boom – Explained

Solana is currently processing approximately 40% of all Layer-1 blockchain transactions, second only to Internet Computer, as it handles a significant surge in memecoin activity. This period of intense speculation is acting as a real-world stress test, demonstrating the network's scalability, resilience, and consistent throughput of 2,000 to 5,000 transactions per second (TPS) without performance degradation. Key advantages like parallelized execution and low fees allow high activity to be additive rather than destabilizing. Furthermore, this usage translates into substantial economic value, with Solana generating $145 million in app revenue and over $110 billion in DEX volume in 30 days, far exceeding Ethereum and validating its sustainable monetization at scale.

Jupiter jumps 15% ahead of 200mln airdrop – But THIS could stall JUP’s rally

Jupiter's native token JUP surged 15% ahead of its 200 million token airdrop scheduled for January 30th. The airdrop allocated 175 million tokens to active users and 25 million to stakers, driving a 210% increase in spot volume. Additional momentum came from Coinbase’s integration with Solana, enabling trading of Solana-based tokens via Jupiter. JUP formed a double-bottom pattern near $0.20, with resistance at $0.233. A break above could target $0.32, though past attempts at this level resulted in reversals. Leverage data shows concentrated long positions at $0.201 and shorts at $0.234, indicating bullish sentiment but also potential volatility. Despite the rally, long-term caution remains as JUP dropped over 75% in 2025.

Mobile: The Next Battleground for Solana

The era of competing solely on blockchain performance and technical roadmaps is over. Layer-1 blockchains must now compete at the top of the application stack—focusing on applications and users rather than just infrastructure. Solana is well-positioned to lead this shift by targeting the Internet Capital Market (ICM), where capital formation happens at scale, especially on mobile devices. Unlike neutral backend infrastructures of the past, L1s now face competition from regulated entities, high-performance tech, and financial giants. Centralized crypto apps like Binance and Coinbase have built their own chains to capture more value, while new chains from companies like Stripe and Circle leverage existing distribution channels. To stay competitive, established blockchains must adopt opinionated approaches to their tech stack usage. Solana’s performance and foundational components make it an ideal default operating system for mobile crypto applications. However, the current on-chain experience remains fragmented and browser-based. Solana Labs, with its mobile-focused initiatives like Solana Mobile and the recent SKR token, is uniquely equipped to drive ICM adoption on mobile. By building vertically integrated application that reflects its design philosophy—integrating DEXs, perpetuals, and payments—Solana Labs can demonstrate large-scale capital formation in action. While some ecosystem developers may fear competition, Solana’s permissionless nature ensures a level playing field. Solana Labs’ efforts can benefit the entire network by highlighting and integrating ecosystem components in ways independent apps cannot, ultimately making the ecosystem more competitive. The winners in crypto over the next five years will be determined by which core teams make the right opinionated decisions to win at the top of the stack—and Solana is poised to lead in mobile ICM.

BTC Slips on Trending Cryptocurrencies List Led by PIPPIN

BTC has slipped to 5th place on the trending cryptocurrencies list, led by PIPPIN, which surged 68.76% to $0.5110. Despite a slight gain, Bitcoin fell in rankings, possibly due to investors shifting to safer assets like gold, which hit a new high, and geopolitical factors such as U.S. tariff policies. FOGO also entered the list at 6th place, boosted by Binance listing new trading pairs. Other trending tokens include FIGHT, PAXG, and HYPE, with ETH briefly trading above $3k.

Seed Round Funding of $8 Million: How Does Bulk Trade Dare to Charge into the Red Ocean of Perp DEX?

Bulk Trade, a Perp DEX built on Solana, has raised $8 million in a seed round led by 6th Man Ventures and Robot Ventures, with participation from Wintermute, Chapter One, and angel investors including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko. The platform differentiates itself by customizing Solana’s validator client architecture to achieve high-speed, CEX-like matching performance while maintaining decentralized settlement. Its core innovation, Bulk-Agave, is a fork of Jito-agave with a dedicated plugin called Bulk Tile that handles order matching and liquidation logic efficiently. Orders are split into fragments and propagated via UDP to minimize latency and packet loss. Matching occurs every 20 milliseconds in structured “ticks” to ensure fairness and prevent front-running. The system also includes self-trade prevention and supports USDC margined perpetual contracts with a central limit order book. Bulk claims advantages in speed (20ms updates vs. 400ms on typical Solana DEXs), real liquidity (orders remain until cancelled), and cost efficiency (no gas fees for orders, batch processing). It emphasizes self-custody, avoiding cross-chain or sequencer risks. Currently in private testnet, Bulk Trade aims to combine near-CEX performance with decentralized security, positioning itself as a high-performance contender in the competitive Perp DEX landscape.

Morgan Stanley Taps Amy Oldenburg to Coordinate Firmwide Crypto Strategy

Morgan Stanley has appointed Amy Oldenburg to a newly created role to coordinate the firm's digital asset strategy, as the bank intensifies its push into crypto. An internal memo from co-presidents Andy Saperstein and Dan Simkowitz confirmed her position within a firm-wide strategy and execution effort. This move aligns with the bank's shift from offering crypto access to building a more robust product toolkit. Recently, Morgan Stanley filed for Bitcoin and Solana-related exchange-traded products, signaling a deeper commitment to regulated crypto exposure. The bank also plans to enable cryptocurrency trading on its E-Trade platform by mid-2026, starting with BTC, ETH, and SOL. In wealth management, it advises a cautious 2-4% crypto allocation based on risk appetite, referring to Bitcoin as "digital gold." Oldenburg's role will unify product development, partnerships, and execution as crypto gains mainstream traction.

How to Capture the Potential Opportunities of the pump.fun Hackathon?

Pump.fun has announced a $3 million hackathon and the launch of its ecosystem venture fund, Pump Fund. Unlike traditional hackathons, this event has no judges or set themes. Instead, 12 winners will each receive $250,000 in funding based on market performance. Key rules require teams to hold at least 10% of their token supply and actively engage with the community via live streams on pump.fun. The hackathon is seen as an evolution of Pump.fun’s earlier GFF initiative, aiming to identify and support high-potential tokens with market caps targeting at least $10 million. It emphasizes stronger tokenomics, broader narratives beyond memes (such as AI, prediction markets, and privacy), and increased use of platform features like live streaming. Notable projects highlighted include $MIA (AI companion), $RAIN (AI prediction market), and $MONEROCHAN (privacy DeFi). Other participants like $LUMEN (evolving AI robot), $GOLD (AI-powered game token), and $PUMPCADE (real-time prediction market) are also in the running. The event reflects Pump.fun’s strategy to diversify content, boost engagement, and foster ecosystem growth through market-driven validation.

Ethereum Vs. Solana: Why BlackRock’s Former Crypto Head Is Betting On ETH

In a comparison between Ethereum and Solana, Joseph Chalom, former BlackRock digital assets head and current SharpLink CEO, argues that Ethereum is the clear choice for high-value institutional use cases. He emphasizes that while Solana offers speed and low fees, Ethereum’s superior trust, security, and liquidity make it the preferred platform for serious financial applications like asset tokenization and large-scale settlements. Chalom points to market data showing that over 65% of stablecoin and tokenized asset activity occurs on Ethereum—roughly ten times more than on Solana—and notes this gap is widening. He acknowledges Solana’s strengths in areas like memecoins and gaming, where lower security and higher speed are acceptable. However, for institutional-grade applications requiring reliability, he states that "people are voting with their feet" by building on Ethereum. Notably, SharpLink itself holds significant Ethereum reserves, with public records showing around 864,840 ETH (approx. $2.5B).
