MARKET VIBES
BTC's Slide Continues

πŸ“Έ Daily Market Snapshot: Bitcoin continued its skid, dropping below $66k this morning after slipping below $67k yesterday in the wake of a $2 billion U.S. government BTC transfer spooking the market. We'll see if this streak continues into the week, but for now, the downward weight from the top seems to have squeezed the other crypto majors, with ETH down 1.2% and SOL down 4.9% on the day.

Prices as of 4pm ET 24hr 7d
Crypto $2.36t β†˜ 2.1% β†˜ 1.3%
BTC $65,814.85 β†˜ 2.2% β†— 0.4%
ETH $3,267.21 β†˜ 1.2% β†˜ 5.8%

ANALYSIS
The Rise of Stablecoins and RWAs on Solana

Alongside the recent ETFs surge, stablecoins and real-world assets (RWAs) have posed some of the strongest paths to mainstream crypto adoption.

And while Ethereum and Tron reign as top stablecoin hubs, Solana is joining these ranks, with new integrations coming into focus. Plus, RWA activity is increasing on the network through projects like Ondo's USDY and Maple Finance's Jito partnership.

Accordingly, today's article dives into all these developments to understand the momentum Solana has achieved in becoming a promising center for stablecoins and RWAs.

Can the chain go on to gain major ground in these sectors like it has with memecoins? Let's see! πŸ‘‡
