On February 29, 2024, Johnny Koon hosted a Twitter Spaces session titled “Solana Makes a Powerful Comeback: What Investors Need to Know.” The session featured industry speakers who explored the recent rise of Solana and its implications for investors. This recap provides a summary of the discussion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-introduction">Introduction</h2>
The CoinEx Twitter Spaces discussion kicked off with host Johnny Koon welcoming the audience and introducing the panelists: Claudio Cossio, Co-founder of Metapool, and Ivy, Researcher at CoinEx. The session aimed to unpack the recent surge in Solana’s price and its potential impact on investors within the ever-evolving blockchain landscape.
The discussion aimed to shed light on several key questions, including:
<ol>
 <li>Bitcoin’s recent price increase and market sentiments.</li>
 <li>Factors behind Solana’s resurgence: What’s driving the recent rise in Solana’s price?</li>
 <li>Solana’s future potential: What does the future hold for Solana, and how can investors navigate the landscape?</li>
</ol>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-key-discussion-points">Key Discussion Points</h2>
1. Rise in Interests of Custodial Solutions
The discussion started with a disclaimer that all statements made should not be taken as financial advice and investors should do their research and perform proper risk management. Claudio started by addressing the major crypto sentiment and questions in the heart of every cryptocurrency enthusiast of a bull run or an imminent bull run due to the surge in Bitcoin’s price. Claudio concluded his point by suggesting that the ETF likely influenced Bitcoin’s current price action.
2. Rise in Interests of Custodial Solutions
Claudio goes ahead to explain that over the past 12 to 18 months, there has been significant interest from large organizations regarding the arrival of institutional investors and the emergence of custodial solutions, indicating a maturing market landscape. Claudio highlighted that the increase in interest over the past months led to the exploration of custodial solutions such as Fireblocks, BitGo, Finoa, Twinspeak, and Anchorage. He noted that centralized exchanges are also offering custody assets.&nbsp;
3. Exploring Solana’s Powerful Comeback:
The conversation then shifted its focus to the main topic – Solana’s recent price increase (powerful comeback) and its prospects. Here’s a recap of the key points discussed:
<ul>
 <li>The Saga Initiative: The speakers discussed potential factors behind Solana’s price surge, including the potential influence of the Saga phone (a smartphone designed specifically for the Solana blockchain). Claudio mentioned he was initially skeptical about it and admitted he was wrong about criticizing that initiative after witnessing how the mobile initiative helped in Solana’s powerful comeback. Claudio goes ahead to explain how Solana built a strong user base by airdropping tokens to Saga owners (Solana fans) during the summer of last year, which he considers a really good “go-to-market strategy” that was perfectly executed.</li>
 <li>Solana’s Attraction to Top Protocols and Deepin Projects: Claudio emphasized Solana’s appeal for top protocols like Render and Helium, particularly with the concentration of Deepin projects within the Solana ecosystem. He highlighted the significance of Solana’s integration with Wormhole, a bridge facilitating seamless connection with other L1 blockchain ecosystems, as a key factor driving the migration. Claudio underscored that this surge in interest and asset inflow into Solana has been meticulously planned over the past 12 to 18 months, with projects undergoing thorough auditing before joining the ecosystem. This influx of projects and interest has catalyzed the current market dynamics for alternative L1s, positioning Solana as a promising platform for digital asset adoption, especially in emerging markets like Southeast Asia and Latin America.</li>
 <li>Solana’s Competitive Landscape: The discussion acknowledged the presence of competing blockchains like Sui, Aptos, and Near, each with its strengths and weaknesses.</li>
 <li>Sustainability Concerns in GameFi: The conversation highlighted concerns about the current GameFi model’s sustainability and emphasized the need for a more sustainable approach.</li>
 <li>Solana’s Future Potential: The speakers remained optimistic about Solana’s future, emphasizing the importance of building sustainable ecosystems that provide real value to users.</li>
