After Solana boasted this week about its exclusive partnership with remittance giant Western Union for its USDPT stablecoin, researchers remained skeptical that the partnership will gain meaningful traction. The unfortunate reality of such announcements is initial hype and minimal follow-up. Indeed, for nearly a decade, crypto partnerships with traditional finance — and remittance companies in particular — have almost always fizzled out after their initial fanfare. Crypto giants like Ripple and Stellar have announced a dizzying array of Press Releases that ultimately resulted in minimal on-chain activity. According to a complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, for example, Ripple “made an avalanche of public statements” over the years in an attempt to increase the value of XRP as it sold over $2 billion worth of the token. Ripple contested that characterization and lost one complaint on the slightly lower amount of $728 million worth of unreg...

As Solana (SOL) trades just below the $200 mark amid broader market weakness, an analyst has suggested that the cryptocurrency could be on the verge of a sharp correction toward $105. This outlook, shared by TradingShot in a TradingView post on October 21, is based on Solana’s trading pattern since bottoming out in early April. Since then, the token has moved within an upward channel, consistently forming higher highs and higher lows. SOL price analysis chart. Source: TradingView The bullish structure has so far been supported by the 200-week moving average (MA), which acted as the foundation for the April rebound. However, the analyst noted that the latest pullback has exposed underlying weaknesses, bringing the token dangerously close to a key support level at the 200-day moving average around $165. Despite holding this level on four successive tests, the outlook indicates that Solana’s price action shows signs of waning momentum. The Relative Strength Index (RSI...

A post to X, made by the official Solana handle over the weekend, has drawn criticism from the Ethereum community after comparing the blockchain to NASDAQ’s throughput of 2,000 transactions per second (TPS).  According to Etherscan data, Ethereum mainnet has processed a little under 1.7 million transactions in the last 24 hours, which works out at an average of 19 TPS. Solana’s post has been received by Ethereum “maxis” as a petty, apples-to-oranges comparison of Ethereum, a decentralized, permissionless global network, to NASDAQ’s closed-off, centralized stock exchange infrastructure.
