Solana just did one of the biggest upgrades in his history tonight 🔥 Alpenglow is live, finality went from 12.8 seconds to 150ms ⚡ You can't even blink that fast 👀 Do you notice the difference already?

Would you rather own $PUMP or $SOL? @andyyy put the question to the Token2049 panel. @dennis_qian didn't hesitate. "Yes. It captures almost all the value coming into Solana." His argument is that PUMP has absorbed the Solana beta that used to go straight to SOL. @Tradermayne went further. He's skeptical of the $1,000 SOL targets he hears from friends like Ansem, and he thinks Pump is the cleaner bet on Solana's meme coin activity. @zeroxkyle @pumpdotfun @solana

USDC just became too big for Europe to ignore. It's the EU's first "significant" stablecoin, the only one out of 45, with EBA oversight starting Nov 12. The stablecoin era is here.

Kraken's parent Payward is buying Lithuania's Saldo Bank, a first in the EU. Meanwhile Sberbank, JPMorgan and Schwab are all moving into crypto. Which bank is moving onchain next? @krakenfx @Payward

Last cycle, Bitcoin bottomed at $15K, ran 50%, then pulled back to $19K before the real move. @Tradermayne says we're in the same spot now. "We're all at the same party. No one's gone home yet." "Last cycle, 15K was the bottom. We traded up 50%." "It's kind of where we are right now." "When we had that dump and it went from 25 to 19, maybe that's what we're going to experience now." "This is value area relative to every single cycle that's happened before this." "So purely from that sense I'm bullish." @andyyy @zeroxkyle

Andy (@andyyy) thinks crypto has entered a new regime. In past cycles, buying the popular narratives like L1s, L2s, and infrastructure tokens was enough, but that hasn't worked this time. He says for the first time, individual coins are breaking out to all-time highs while Bitcoin remains well below its own. "Picking the right assets now matters more than ever."
