# The Greatest Solana Growth Is Still Ahead - Here's Why

> Source: [The Greatest Solana Growth Is Still Ahead - Here's Why](https://youtube.com/watch?v=-AoscCUAo9I)

## Summary

The video presents a bullish analysis of Solana (SOL), arguing that its greatest growth is still ahead. The creator reviews the project's fundamentals, including the Solana Mobile phone sales, ecosystem growth, staking statistics, and exchange supply, concluding that SOL could reach $300-500. The analysis includes comparisons with Ethereum's historical price action and a discussion of the upcoming altseason.

### Key Points

- **Solana as a Business** [00:32] — The video frames Solana as a business opportunity, highlighting active accounts, users, and NFT shares. It notes that NFT trading volume on Solana reached $22 million, though many are manipulation. Average transaction price is very low (fractions of a cent), emphasizing speed and low fees.
- **Solana Mobile Sales** [01:49] — In 30 days, Solana Mobile sold 100,000 devices, generating $45 million. This is seen as a monetization strategy and early-stage investment in smartphone development. The phone includes hardware protection and integrations, similar to Android.
- **Investor Rewards and Airdrops** [02:47] — The creator expects rewards for early investors, referencing past airdrops like Bonk that boosted adoption. They anticipate similar marketing campaigns with integrations from Backpack, Jupiter, Phantom, and others.
- **Ecosystem Overview** [03:30] — Solana's ecosystem includes many DeFi projects like Orca, Jupiter, Raydium, and Marinade Finance, plus Helium. The ecosystem is filled with a large number of projects, indicating a vibrant network.
- **Technical Analysis and Price Prediction** [04:15] — The creator compares Solana's market cap growth to Ethereum's early stage. Ethereum fell 95% from peak to $83, then rose to $4,600. Solana fell 96% from $55,000 to $5,000, and the creator predicts a similar recovery to $300-500 or more.
- **Staking and Supply** [06:22] — Approximately 67% of SOL is staked, leaving only 33% liquid. This reduces sell pressure. The creator notes low inflation and expects transaction fees to be addressed in the future.
- **Network Reliability** [07:50] — Despite occasional outages, Solana has 99% uptime historically, which is comparable to other networks. The creator argues that all networks have issues and that Solana's are quickly fixed.
- **Trading Volumes** [08:04] — Solana DEXs like Orca and Raydium have significant volumes: $2 billion and $1.4 billion in 7 days respectively. In derivatives, Drift is in fourth place with $200 million demand in 24 hours.
- **TVL Comparison** [09:19] — Solana's TVL is $3.3 billion, approaching Arbitrum's $3.5 billion. Ethereum leads with $47 billion. This indicates growing confidence in Solana's DeFi ecosystem.
- **Jupiter Aggregator** [10:16] — Jupiter finds optimal swap paths across DEXs, improving efficiency. It also supports limit orders and bridges like Allbridge, Myan, and The Bridge for cross-chain transfers.
- **Futures and Onramp** [12:20] — Solana supports futures on Bitcoin and Ethereum with leverage, and onramp services allow buying crypto with cards. The creator notes high risk and plans to cover DeFi more in the future.
- **Raydium Pools and Accelerator** [13:21] — Raydium has $200 million in TVL and offers yield farming. The accelerator program has given 200-300x returns on projects like Gray Den, though the creator advises caution.
- **Altseason Prediction** [14:07] — The creator believes altseason will only begin after Bitcoin updates its all-time high. They reference Total 3 (altcoin market cap excluding BTC and ETH) and expect a strong rally for Solana and related projects.
- **NFT Marketplaces** [15:46] — Solana NFT marketplaces have seen trading volumes up to $45 million, occasionally beating OpenSea. The creator sees NFT as a growing market with long-term potential.
- **Key Projects on Solana** [17:31] — Pyth Network has a $1 billion market cap and $130 million volume. Helium has $1.5 billion cap and $28 million volume, priced at $9. Jupiter has $700 million cap and $270 million volume.
- **Exchange Supply** [18:46] — Nansen data shows only 10% of SOL supply is on exchanges: 17 million on Binance, 2 million on Bybit, and around 30 million total. This low liquidity means less capital is needed to move the price.
- **Marketing and Airdrops** [20:31] — Solana's marketing, including phone sales and airdrops, attracts new users. The creator notes past mistakes but sees improvement and expects future success.
- **Personal Conviction** [22:31] — The creator expresses strong belief in Solana's team and leadership, citing their ability to navigate crises like the FTX collapse. They are investing their own money and holding long-term.
- **Helium and Pyth** [24:19] — Helium fell from $57 to $9 but is seen as accumulating. Pyth is gaining momentum. The creator is optimistic about both projects.

### Conclusion

The creator is highly bullish on Solana, predicting significant price appreciation due to strong fundamentals, low exchange supply, and upcoming altseason. They encourage viewers to do their own research and consider long-term holding.

$50,000, a masterpiece of growth while the market is sleeping, it's growing, poor shorts, but today's video is not about that. Today is the second video in 2 days, evens started working, oh my, because the market is growing and it motivates me, and your activity
under the previous video simply breaks through any marks, Bitcoin is not growing that fast. But our channel is growing very quickly, so friends, today is a very simple topic in plain language about our favorite project from a business point of view,
making money, and why it will be successful in the future. These are friends of the salon, so let's get comfortable, have some coffee, have a good mood, good fragrant tea with honey, I
will drink it with you today. And I wish you the same. If you haven't made any tea, I'm coming to you. Well, and a market maker, too, so let's drink some tea and off we go. So, for a second, our favorite salon according to Milne, there are active
accounts, users, and NFT shares of different genes here, it's just a piece of cake, NFT shifted 22 million  Things It's clear that most of them are just a way of manipulation, a way to take Ixalan from poor hamsters Well, and then sell them
If it works out If it grows Well, friends, the average price for one transaction is very low, hundreds of times less than one cent Well, speed is very important because everyone who uses Tishka and I transfer their funds through the Solana network, they really
so let's get charged already, because the market is in full swing Why are we sitting here, and in despondency, it's still good Gentlemen, we deserve this growth, there will be more to come, I'll good Gentlemen, we deserve this growth, there will be more to come, I'll
time yet, but for now we need to be patient, so be patient and move on, friends, in literally 30 days of sleep, Mobile sold 100 thousand devices with an order I
think this is a great milestone because it's 45 million dollars, this is exactly how they monetize their products I think they will do something useful for investors because we are essentially investing in the early stages of
their smartphone development there  There's a lot of cool stuff. Who had the first version of this phone? There's such hardware protection, a bunch of integration, essentially an analog of Android, various already integrated, decent-named applications. So, friends, in
about 24 hours, the price of this Priora will go up. So, if you have n't had time to buy it yet, today is the last day. We ordered all this for the community. We ordered about 50 pieces, if I'm not mistaken. Let's move on. What
will they give for all this? Of course, the most important thing is to satisfy the first investors. And who of you ordered the first version? And various Sago Passes poured in Bonk, and Bonk flew into space. And it was a great marketing
campaign that brought adoption to San. I think even more that this time they will also do something cool. A bunch of different integrations, from Backpack, NRA Jupiter, Phantom, Sofra, Maden, and Drip. There will be a lot more here, including
Helium, and a lot of projects are being launched on the Solana network, so, friends, the money is going in this direction. I'm also sitting here watching all this and so far I'm happy with everything. I'm happy, so who needs all this, friends,
the link is in the description. Everything is very simple. Click the button pr, follow the link, and order for yourself by buying with a card or using Salon Pay. Everything is very simple there, I think you'll figure it out. Let's go, friends. Next, the ecosystem. There are a lot of dau projects, ter, there
are realms from Helium. Where can I find separate Helium coins for those who don't know? Come to our community, we'll tell you, we'll show you, OKL Warm Hall, integration, a bunch of different Dexos and a lot of Defi projects, Orca, Jupiter, dumps, Marinet
Finance Manga. In general, the ecosystem is filled with a very large number of projects, very cool keras, then we'll look at all this with you regarding the technical picture. Friends, we drew this picture a long time ago,
comparing the capitalization of Salon and Ethereum very quickly today, so I'm rushing very quickly so that you have time to understand all this, friends. I believe that it is necessary to compare Sana at an early stage, just as I did with Ethereum, it has grown very strongly.
somewhere around 300,000 about it was a crazy growth after a big fall and a bunch of problems, everyone was already burying it, it cost 83 dollars then 95% of the fall
was from peak marks of about 3,400 dollars was a peak, a very long accumulation Well, and then from 83 dollars We flew to 4,000 dollars 4,600 to be exact almost 5,000 within the growth Salan 55,000 about Well, friends, a fall of 96% is
about the same and also a lot of problems How is it that all these projects, precisely within the bearish trend, some problems arise, also accumulation I waited a little longer for it, here it is, growth 700 about, here we gave it here
Look, here it is and friends, we are fixing above this level within the broadcast, the same friends structure Here it is, the mark is also below this level and then
the mark is also below this level and then another growth well and in total from the bottom 5,000 if we throw all this on this chart and assume It is clear that  History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. You could say that Sanka can easily
make $300-500 or even more. I believe that it will take its rightful place in the blockchain space, especially in terms of NFT. It has already become a hub for NFT in terms of news. Our friends, Tenser, is one of the Marketplaces on Solanka,
one of the Marketplaces on Solanka, has beaten Open in trading volumes, and it's still worth something. We'll see all this with you today, and there are a lot of coins in staking, friends. I also went to Nansen to see how many coins
are on the exchanges. You'll be shocked today. So, let's move on. So, friends, I So, let's move on. So, friends, I think $300-4500 might be possible. I'm betting on this with my own money. I'm ready to hold. I'm an investor, not a speculator, I don't go out. I don't re-enter or
outbid. I believe in this. This is my bet. Well, you draw your own conclusions and make your own informed decisions. Let's move on, friends, regarding staking. So, gentlemen, we have approximately
staking. So, gentlemen, we have approximately 67% of coins for stake, that is, 33% of coins are liquid in different ways.  Protocols and plus on the exchanges, everything else we have in staking is illiquid. Yes, there is an exchange, some withdraw, others add, but in
fact, 67% is held. That's how things are. There is little inflation, I think that sooner or plus there will be transaction fees because they will have huge problems with this. In the future, I think Yakovenko and his team will come up with something for this. The
main thing is that it functions and works, yes, sometimes it falls off. But if you look at the long history, then in principle, 99% of the ATM network is a good
indicator. Even the coolest banks and central banks. Zero structures have some chance that they will sometimes fall and something will fall off, this is basically normal. This is technology, this is development, this is IT, so friends, only if something
breaks, it can be optimized, holes will be identified, and every network works with this, including Ethereum and other projects, including space. You just may not notice that theirs breaks very quickly. Fixi, you don’t notice it,
very quickly. Fixi, you don’t notice it, but almost no one has 100% uptime.  Let but almost no one has 100% uptime.  Let 's move on to volumes and on TV, friends. In terms of CSO, we naturally have Uniswap Pancake and Curve Finance in first place,
but in fourth and fifth place is Orca, and we raid here quite large volumes, friends, in 7 days, about 2 billion on Orca and 1.4 billion dollars on Raidi, this is
no joke, this is a lot, this is still a lot. This is just one network, lot. This is just one network, friends, further in terms of derivatives, we naturally have Artroom and Ethereum dominating, Diex Vertex Hyper Liquid, and there is Drift, it is
in fourth place in derivatives, this is the platform for you. I'll show you it very quickly, it's quite nicely done, you can open various positions, including futures, essentially, on derivatives using your favorite Salan, place a Long or
Short transaction. If you know how to do this, this is all very high-risk,
there is a demand of 200 million within 24 hours, given that on DaDes Vertex and Plik it is 800, 800, and  300 Well, almost on par with Vertex, friends, this is also an indicator, let's move on, that we have friends on TVL. And what is this TVL? I'll read to you what it
is. Total value locked is an indicator that measures the sum of all assets locked in defi protocols on the blockchain. This includes cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and other digital assets that are circulating in this blockchain,
operated by many different platforms, including staking, so friends are in first place, of course, Ethereum 47 billion, Ethereum 8 billion, Binance
Smartchain 4.6 billion dollars, arbiter 3.5 Well, and almost approaching the arbiter of 3.5 Well, and almost approaching the arbiter of Salana 3.3 billion dollars, this is a lot of friends, so I think that is also an indicator, so I also have a
lot of money in Solanka, in terms of Oracle, a lot of projects have been launched on Solana this half of the year, this includes Piv, Helium, moved from its network, migrated to Solana, Jupiter, and so on, too, further, we'll see all this in terms of Jupiter. Well,
let's say I want  Swap a Samoyed for USDC or Salan for Salan. Let's say USDC or Salan for Salan. Let's say I want to swap 1 million Samoyeds for
Salan. The path is always written here. The most optimal path is selected for you by optimal path is selected for you by Jupiter. So, friends, the Samoyed goes to Orca, then to Reum, then back to Reum, exchanges for
Ray, then to Sanka, and 20% goes to Orca, exchanges for USDC, then to Sanka, and all this arrives to you in various parts. This is the best path for you, selected by Jupiter, including Reum. You can also place limit orders here.
If you don't want to buy the DC market, Reed has Bridge, there's a very cool one. There are three Bridget methods: assets immediately directly from different companies and
different projects. There's Allbridge, Myan, and The Bridge. I talked to these guys from All Bridge and The Bridge. They make very cool products. Therefore, we can very quickly zab our assets, that is, exchange them from one
network to another. Let's say we have 1,000 USDC in  ei networks and we want 1,000 usdc in the Salan network so that all this does not have to be done through exchanges and through different platforms, we will
do it all through intermediaries. Through companies like Myan All Bridge and The Bridge, you can do all this through Warm Hall. That's also the case. We have Bridge, we take Ethereum. So, we also take SWAMS on VRE into Ethereum on Salon. If we need it for the Defi
industry, we connect two wallets: one on Ethereum, one on Solanka and Swap, or on Ethereum, one on Solanka and Swap, or vice versa and Onramp - we can take 1,000 dollars. And immediately convert them through different intermediaries to
Solana on your wallet. In fact, you will pay either from a card or 0% commission through different intermediaries while they have it. It seems to be the only one. Yes, this is Mercurio, also some kind of interesting project. Well, and there are also friends, as I understand it,
futures. Yes, on Salan on Ethereum and on VRE, there is also a nutty Bitcoin, as I understand it, on Solana. Long short and leverage, well, study it, read it, and they even use it within the framework  Oracle and the Peace Network quote provider. That's how it is. It's
done very cool because Use it, it has very good commission optimization and there are also tabs, orn, where you can get Peter Paul Salan, add yours here, in general, read and study, I don't have time for this. I don't do this.
Although I want to spend a lot of time on the defi industry. And tell you about it because we were doing this 2 years ago. This is a very high-risk money, but I think that the
audience level needs to be raised before we go on to seriously engage in all this. Reum also has huge volumes. Our old platform, whoever still has Radium, can change all this, swap, semi- liquidity, there is a pretty good
return. Let's see what we have in the pools here, and in the pools we have $200 million pools here, and in the pools we have $200 million TVL, that's also a lot, I think that at the peak of the market there will be more. Here are various projects you can add here. In
general, study and the coolest thing I did here is the accelerator, friends, you can get your Radius Lochi and participate in different projects. There were such projects here that gave out  200 to 300 x Geno Pec were Gray Den gave 200 x it
was a great time at the peak of the market I think that it will show itself, including and now its price has recovered very well because it fell very sharply I think you have already seen this In general, friends, there were good times, but we move
on. And then what do we have with our alt season because all this will be alt season because all this will be connected and Samoyed and Salan and Piv Network and Jupiter and Helium, all this is connected with Lana. Therefore, if it grows, then they will also
catch up in terms of alt season. I believe that this is my clear conviction that there will be no strong alt season until Bitcoin updates its alt season. But this can happen in the near future because we see that with each turn,
the more people do not believe in growth, the faster it comes. Friends, let's look at such an interesting little pattern as soon as our Bitcoin price breaks through its alltime.  This Metric
is Total 3, the capitalization of all altcoins without Bitcoin and without Ethereum. As soon as Bitcoin rewrites its all-time High, only then does the growth in altcoins begin. We are experiencing the same thing here now, and we are still here with you. We are
in this phase, an absolutely identical situation. We broke this mark, then consolidated and are slowly moving up. Somewhere around here, at Bitcoin's all-time high, a crazy altseason will begin, so please hold on to
our assets. It is clear that there may be corrections, but we came here specifically to participate in this strongest growth phase. But I assure you that most people have already dumped their assets, so it will be they who will then
so it will be they who will then buy our assets from us on Foma. Although, Sasha, no one will believe me anyway; everything has long been sold. Therefore, Well, okay, someone has to lose in this market. Let's move on regarding NFT
marketplaces. There were a lot of people here both on the bear market and on  The bull will grow even more. I think that the NFT theme will sooner or later find its trend and it will stay there. It's a whole market here. There are a lot of commissions here, people
earn a lot of artists and different companies come here, it's not going anywhere. It will only acquire more and more scale. Here, friends, I showed you this: we have statistics on various trading
volumes on both NFT marketplaces and, in principle, on different e-networks on Ethereum. We have 27 million trading volume on NFT marketplaces. Today, we have marketplaces. Today, we have 10 million on Solanka. Yesterday, it was just 45 million on
Solanka, they simply beat Open Sea, but it's clear that this is just, well, coincidence. Sometimes it happens that someone beats someone else, but they don't compete, they are a collaborator of Salana Ethereum. Space, different
blockchains will interact and exchange audiences with each other more every day. For me, Salana is a project where a lot of money is invested and they make money on it, and somehow this will need to be taken out, so,
friends,  It's clear that someone will lose on this, but don't forget that a loss is not always just a loss. I can spend it on a commission. I spend it. I on some cool project, buy some cool product, it's not a
loss. It's me who spends what I spend, someone else earns. That's why I think Salon has a great future, including in Ethereum and space, so I'm betting heavily on Solana. Well, I'll only sell it if I see
paranormal movements. While I don't see them, for me it's all just a phase of redistribution from the weak to the strong, that's all. Let's move on. Projects on Solanka. Piv Network. A great project has launched, it's growing well, and it's not going to fall anywhere. A
smart contract on Solana has almost a billion in capitalization and 130 almost a billion in capitalization and 130 million in trading volume, which is a lot. It's further than Helium from the fireplace, which everyone called " dollar from the fireplace" and gave it to Kiryukha, you got
us stuck in it. We're selling this from the fireplace because Lina has 1.5 billion.  Capitalization of because Lina has 1.5 billion.  Capitalization of 28 million trading volume, it changes very quickly, 28 million trading volume, it changes very quickly, and friends, it's $9 now, the price
chart will be shown closer to the end of the video. Jupiter also has a 700 million market cap and 270 million trading volume, which is also a lot. Although there are still very, very few coins in circulation.
In terms of friends, Sanki on the exchanges, we have friends, trading volumes of almost 3 billion dollars on Binance, the main volume is traded on Coinbase, Oxygen, Babite, Kraken, and Kucoin. Friends, I went to Nansen and looked at how much Solano we have
on the exchanges. So, on the Binance exchange, in different wallets, there are 13 million coins, different wallets, there are 13 million coins, plus 2 - that's 15, that's already plus 2 - that's 15, that's already 16.5, well, 17 million coins on the Binance exchange alone.
16.5, well, 17 million coins on the Binance exchange alone. Friends, out of Friends, out of 430 million, approximately 67% are in staking. 13, 15, 17 million coins on our exchange, Binan or Binance, as you prefer. Further on the exchange,
Binance, as you prefer. Further on the exchange, on the Bybit exchange, we have Salan, even less, we have approximately 2  There are still millions of coins on Coinbase, but I think there are somewhere around 30 million coins in total. If there is, then there is 10% of the entire circulation on the exchanges, this is what
both the buyer and seller are fighting for, so friends, no 50, 100, 20,000 billion dollars are needed for Lanka to give two or three x's and cost 200, 300, 400, 500
dollars. This is just a capitalization figure; it displays the current price multiplied by the entire circulating supply, but we have 67% in staking and supply, but we have 67% in staking and only 10, 15, maximum 20% of coins on the exchanges are
what both the buyer and seller are fighting for. Therefore, for the price to grow, both a buyer and a seller are needed. In short, the mechanics are very simple. If we have approximately 10 million coins from a price of 100 dollars to a price of 500 dollars,
and the buyer will buy all this, the price will simply move up and a lot of resources are not needed for this. Therefore, if a seller can attract various high drops with these phones.  and with all the other marketing
they do very well, they made a lot of mistakes, but they corrected them. Oh yeah. The funniest thing is that they made a lot of mistakes with the first version of their flagship smartphone. They set it at a price of $1,000, and it was complete
nonsense. Why should I buy a phone I know nothing about for $1,000? Yes, enthusiasts bought it and they didn't lose out because Sanka understands that they simply sold a flagship device. Yes, there are
a lot of jokes there, but in principle, it wasn't worth it. They gave away a bong with an airdrop, attracted a market maker, raspa, jacked up the price, and that's it. Everyone fell in love with Lanka because they poured in drops. The bong flew into space, and someone was able to capitalize on it. That's how they
shared a huge amount of money with their investors and those dissatisfied ones. That's how this story ended. This is already the second story, Chapter 2 from Slan Mobile, so we will also participate in it. These are the kind of things that friends do, funds are here, they bring in
huge amounts of money, I think that many of them have n't left the market yet.  I guys who think that all coins and all blockchains are sheer manipulation, bubbles, and that you shouldn't buy all this because the funds have big X's. But these
people just don't understand that if you think like that about every stock, then it's amateurism, it's not understanding the mechanics of the market. I bought it for a dollar and sold it for 100, I got out, I did Exit, another investor bought it from me, and I sold it to him, now he sits from
100 and up to 1,000, and then he looks for another buyer, sells it to him, and so the market changes hands, and so the price gradually rises. And the amount of money in our world is increasing because it is printed, so this is just a phase of
redistribution of money and assets between different investors, different companies, and different hands. So, friends, look for your gems, look for your cool projects, I've selected my own list for myself, you've all seen, studied, and watched my portfolios, it's all
on my channel, we'll continue to review all this. I'm head over heels in love with Salan, not in the price, but in the fact that  They do it so cool, Yakovenko does marketing. How cool he gets out of the worst situations that they get into. How many different
such mercantile companies are trying to set them up, and Alameda in Bman Fried and there were a bunch of problems, and he was able to steer it out of all this. This shows the antifragility of this project for me and I am betting on this with my money. I believe that you
can only trust those  Who is ready to bet and lead in something believing in something, putting their money on it? Well, the Stars on the balance are different, a portfolio on Koi Market cape, Koi Stas, and so on - These are friends for hamsters. Any of
you can make a YouTube channel, take a portfolio on Koi Market cape, add various projects there retroactively and show everyone in 2-3 sell your courses and thus become a real millionaire. And then when they
ask you how you became a millionaire, and you will say, and I will lead. And now my million is only earned from courses. We know such bloggers, and as they say, if you don’t know how to make money, sell different products.
These are, of course, goblin’s friends. Someone spends this money on developing the ecosystem, on products for the community, and someone just buys apartments in Dubai for themselves, and so on. This, of course, is reinvested. It’s a joke that
build it. Come and build it. Show us.  How do you build all this, friends, somehow, that's why we made bets. The cards are laid out. Well, and Helium, by the
end of the video, friends, it fell from 57 dollars very strongly. We slowly bought it. Many said that it was all from the fireplace, it was there and would never grow again. But you and I understand where we are going. This is such a chic accumulation and
then bang-bang-bang and it is already worth 9 dollars. I think Helium has very great prospects. The Pin networks are gaining momentum, so I wish you the same. I'm going to drink my tea and coffee. Have a good mood everyone.
Thank you all for watching, for your likes, comments, and subscriptions. I'm back in action with energy and motivation to churn out cool content for you, motivate you to cherish and not speculate, and we'll see each other. Tomorrow, like the video
because I'll give you a kick in the ass, friends, and buy it. If you want your favorite Atos, I'll just sit in Solanka for now. That's it. Friends, bye, bye, see you tomorrow.  I filed it for now Well, well, well, well, well, calm down
already until Bitcoin updates its Oh, nothing strong if nothing strong if Salana tea was there, I'd buy it in Salana tea was there, I'd buy it in packs too Yakovenko Make some Salana tea, I'll be like,
we'll just drink Salana tea every day on roller skates, I gave you an idea, a roller skates, I gave you an idea, a percentage for now
