After a cycle filled with memes, scams, and sky-high FDV utilityless tokens, I'm more interested than ever in the tokenization of BTC — especially on Solana. Everyone keeps praying for BTC.D to fall…
But the meme casino rages on, with a new shitter every hour. At the end of the day, everything flows back to Bitcoin. Yet Bitcoin’s blockchain is outdated, slow, expensive, and not built for the modern DeFi world. That’s where Zeus Network steps in. With $zBTC, you get decentralized, permissionless, transparent, verifiable BTC, on Solana. Solana is fast, cheap, scalable.
The perfect execution layer.
 -> BTC stays pure. -> Solana handles everything else. This is how BTC becomes usable again. Not by changing Bitcoin.
But by giving it a better home.

Zcash was built to solve Bitcoin's privacy problem. Solana now has a growing stack of privacy dApps: shielded swaps, anonymous transfers, stealth addresses. And @ZeusNetworkHQ is building zkBTC: actual ZK-encrypted Bitcoin, natively on Solana, 1:1 BTC-backed. Genuine question: what's the bull case for Zcash from here? 🤔

Using BTC as collateral to short BTC... 🧠🧠 Only on @DriftProtocol

Introducing Infinity V2 ♾️ INF was already the best place to grow your SOL. Now it’s also the first and only Solana LST to distribute yield continuously at the slot level. INF holders get more performative, consistent APY while our partner LSTs get more reliable liquidity ↓

@realRockyChung @onrefinance @Titan_Exchange 💯

When you're looking to get exposure to @onrefinance's fantastic yield, look no further than @Titan_Exchange. Deep routing integration with direct mint access means that traders get the best price every time. Experience outperformance

@CryptoCompound_ Bro your DePin videos back in the day were incredible! Why did you stop posting? revive the channel (doesn't have to be about helium)

I caught Solana memes late 23 and it changed my life. Ive been growing increasingly anxious that I’m going to miss the next narrative gold rush. Ironically, it seems when the time comes its going to be the same handful of memes that rip peoples faces off

Funding rates on @DriftProtocol are extremely negative right now. Great if you are longing the market or into delta-neutral strategies.

Stablecoin transfer volume on @solana went from $306B to $972B over the past year, a 3.2x increase. What's even more impressive is the recent acceleration: Dec → Jan: +77% Jan → Feb: +76% Two consecutive months of near-doubling.

@LipeSolana @solana @DriftProtocol @project0 real alpha

if you know @solana and its ecosystem well, you’ve probably heard about @DriftProtocol. it’s a dApp that i use almost daily great perps trading, spot and swaps... all in one. one opportunity that deserves more attention is combining @DriftProtocol with @project0: stake with @project0, mint LST and put your staked assets to work in high-yield strategies. on top of that, @DriftProtocol also offers lend/borrow with strong rates, and you can even use dSOL (liquid staking) as collateral to unlock more strategies. not investment advice always do your own research. but it’s definitely a platform worth exploring.

FINALLY! You can now deposit from other chains (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base & more) directly into Drift! ETH, USDT, USDC and a range of other assets converts to USDC or SOL on Solana automatically 🏎️

@liamodoh @binance @Binance_AUS Absolute legend! You had an epic run mate!

BIG LIFE UPDATE 👏 Today I finish my role with @binance / @Binance_AUS. I wrapped up my last week joining champion surfer Jack Robbo and a bunch of our most frothy users for a ripping session & meetup at URBNSURF Sydney. What a highlight and an unforgettable send off! 🏄‍♂️ My time at Binance has been formative to say the least, and my work has literally onboarded millions of crypto users across dozens of countries. I'm so humbled to have made so so many great friends on this journey, both at Binance and in our remarkable network of local partners. There's way too many to shout out, but I'm sure I'll catch up with you all very soon. I want to throw a specially huge thank you to my leaders and mentors over the past 4 years, especially @RachelConlan, Mandy, Tanny, @Jamesqk, @TraversLeigh, Matt and @mrbenrose. Also my local ANZ colleagues who've turned up time and again to support at events, campaigns and everything in between. What's next? I'm taking a short career break to surf & trek my way through the Americas and Europe. I'll be chasing world class waves and stunning mountain landscapes, so if you live in or have great travel recs for any of these places, please hit me up! I'll be back in 2027 to help more Aussies make sense of Bitcoin & crypto, and make their first forays into this frontier of digital finance. Until then... STAY HUMBLE, STACK SATS 🚀 And I'll see you in the tube!

Circle minted $3.5b USDC on Solana in 72 hours. not Ethereum. not Arbitrum. Solana. same week USDC hit $79b ATH supply and flipped USDT in transaction volume at 98.6% dominance. Circle is telling you where the settlement layer is moving. the minting velocity is the signal.

@gumsays I'm looking for a signal to long SOL

if you're looking for a signal to long just look at $HYPE in the last 6 times it pumped, it did so before Bitcoin moved higher. it also went sideways shortly before Bitcoin corrected this is exactly what $SOL did last cycle, pay attention cause it's all you need to do

The obvious buys for the coming cycle remain BTC SOL Things which interest me to SIZE into, but will decide closer to the time depending on lots of factors, in order TAO ZEC HYPE ENA SUI AERO NEAR PENDLE GRASS (yes i know...) Inevitably the biggest winners will be new coins, or coins that never ran this cycle but built/build something significant, yet to get the ball tingle with anything dropping rn tho

Iran this. Iran that. Brother, I ran my portfolio to zero.

The world is running the same trade: Print money → Debase currency → Buy scarcity Debt keeps rising across economies, while political incentives make monetary expansion inevitable. When money supply grows faster than productivity, currencies slowly lose purchasing power. That is the reality The Great Debasement Vault on @solana is built for: a simple strategy ($zBTC + $GOLD) to preserve purchasing power in a world of expanding money 🫡 Big thanks to @orogoldapp, @TradeNeutral, and @Titan_Exchange for partnering with us to make this product happen!

@Brastempp Eu gostaria muito de um template da planilha que vc usa para acompanhar o portfólio

Pergunta aos que me seguem: 1- Tem alguma coisa sobre gestão de carteira que vcs acham que falta eu abordar? 2- Tem algum tipo de conteúdo que eu posto sobre oq faço que não faz sentido pra vcs? (Ou qualquer outro feedback construtivo) Quero tentar ajudar o máx de gente no bear

From the top 8 protocols on Solana, @DriftProtocol was the only one to record a positive TVL inflow in February. In a month where capital rotated out, Drift was able to attract net new liquidity ✅ Source: @DefiLlama

The thesis remains unchanged. 1. Bitcoin becomes the world’s reserve asset. 2. Bitcoin’s blockchain won’t sustain global, high-frequency financial activity. 3. Solana is the most performant capital markets blockchain to scale Bitcoin into DeFi.
