Solana traders, real talk:
1. Bought SOL at the bottom?
2. Sold the dip for FUD?
3. Bought it back 10% higher?
4. Still broke?
We're all in the same boat 🚢

NEW: SoFi launches SOFIE, a bank deposit token offering 4.40% APY
The new product lets SoFi Crypto users earn interest on idle funds, including stablecoins, with deposits eligible for FDIC protection under applicable terms.
🚨BREAKING: Both @Solana co-founders call for dropping the “beta” label after Alpenglow goes live.
@rajgokal says, “Kill the word ‘beta’ with fire.”
@toly asks to “remove the beta tag in the explorer.”
This is what real adoption looks like. When you remove friction and expensive gas fees, stablecoin utility finally goes mainstream. Huge year for the ecosystem!
🚨JUST IN: @Solana treasury firm @Solana_Company ($HSDT) has been selected by Hong Kong’s government as a strategic enterprise.
The company has opened an office in Hong Kong to serve as its Asia-Pacific headquarters and plans to operate Solana validators in the city.
Today's SOL chart shows a classic "sell the news" reaction, dropping ~2.5% to $104.18 following the Alpenglow upgrade. The short-term trend is a bearish slow bleed facing resistance at $104.50, but if immediate support near $103.50.
