I've been looking at the crypto market, and the overall consensus is clear: they are never going to stop printing money, so the value of Bitcoin and other strong cryptos will continue to rise over time. The US dollar's purchasing power is trending down, and if you view Bitcoin as a superior savings technology, it’s an obvious place to put your extra capital and benefit from that long-term trend of currency debasement.
What really signals confidence is seeing traditional finance players jump in. The S&P 500 just launched a new crypto index that includes 15 cryptocurrencies and 35 crypto-related stocks. This is a huge step, opening up major new pools of capital to the sector and making it easier for traditional investors to get exposure. While it’s just a baby step, it shows the direction things are moving. It’s also funny how critics like the European Central Bank president can say Bitcoin has “no intrinsic value,” while the Euro itself has lost over 40% of its purchasing power in the last 20 years. If Bitcoin has no value, the fiat currency they control must really have none.
Beyond Bitcoin, I’m seeing some compelling developments with other assets. Banks and major financial institutions are increasingly choosing Solana to build stablecoin capabilities. They are choosing it because, as the Solana Foundation explains, it’s the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable network with the most users—think 80 million monthly active wallets. Visa and PayPal are building there, proving that institutions want speed and efficiency.
I’m also keeping an eye on XRP. Despite recent community impatience and FUD, which some see as a good sign before a breakout, the fundamentals are looking positive. They’re even getting airtime on major national TV, discussing the possibility of a spot XRP ETF. Finally, don't sleep on SUI. Major upgrades are coming, like the boost to end-to-end finality to an incredible 200 milliseconds, which will make it highly competitive for real-world applications. Overall, the fundamentals across the board are signaling higher prices ahead.
