Proponents see the surge in wallet usage as a potential indicator of a bullish trend for SOL, suggesting growing investor confidence in the Solana blockchain.

Phantom’s rising popularity coincides with its recent acquisition of Bitski, a web3 browser extension. This move underscores Phantom’s commitment to user experience. By integrating Bitski’s technology, 
Phantom aims to streamline the onboarding process, eliminating the need for users to manage complex private keys and seed phrases. This could be a game-changer for attracting new users, particularly those intimidated by the technical aspects of crypto wallets. The Future Of Embedded Wallets 
The Bitski acquisition hints at Phantom’s vision for the future. By collaborating with Bitski, Phantom plans to develop embedded wallets within Solana-based decentralized applications (dapps). 
This would allow users to interact with dapps directly without leaving the application, creating a smoother and more intuitive user experience.
