When the largest liquidation event in crypto history hit last Friday, $ETH choked, but $SOL didn’t.
During peak stress, Solana sustained 1,225 TPS, finalized blocks in 350ms, and saw average fees peak at just $0.25 before quickly returning below $0.01.
Ethereum struggled to process beyond 26 TPS, with 15-second block times and average fees surging to $616, making the network unreliable, impractical, and effectively unusable during the chaos.
When users are priced out and transactions can’t clear, the network might as well be offline. Under high load, blockchains must remain accessible, affordable, and reliable.
After nearly 20 months of uninterrupted uptime, even through the network’s busiest moments, it’s clear that Solana’s continued upgrades and optimizations have paid off. No other chain comes close to handling global value transfer at this scale.
The takeaway is simple: only Solana stays fast, cheap, and usable, even when global markets melt down.
@cryptomanran Really solid show today, @cryptomanran. Exactly the kind of perspective we needed to hear after this dump. Appreciate the honesty and clarity.
Be aware @KyleSamani@SECPaulSAtkins@toly@CarolineDPham - @Binance and @Bybit_Official have been actively manipulating @solana $SOL price using offshore market maker @wintermute_t for over 2 years. Ive collected all on chain evidence and comprehensive records. I am not a lawyer so have no idea about legality, but Binance show no $SOL holdings outside customer funds (100% proof of reserve) so have no $SOL of their own, yet send 10's of thousands of $SOL to market maker @wintermute_t daily to suppress the price and extract liquidity from leveraged traders.
Ive been pretty vocal about this but its time to esculate.
Mr Atkins, this may be of no interest to you however the US digital dollar is on Solana and active manipulation of the stake of this network is of national security concern and non action is no longer an option.
It does not take a rocket scientist to understand this. Here are on chain transfers of $SOL right now to Wintermute and Binance own proof of reserves showing no $SOL other than customer funds. How is this possible? Why is this being allowed?
@MartiniGuyYT This is just insane. With digital assets and tech being embedded within our life now (and more so each day), it will drive so many people out of the country or off grid decentralised. I just don’t understand their mentality or is this just the governments scare tactics ?
We cannot understand the true nature of the Universe, unless we question deeply.
I want to know what is real, even if the answer is total obliteration of my consciousness.
Anyone that is in disbelief about @solana#xStocks - you didnt listen to me, dont make me pull receipts. Read pinned post again. Not possible on L2. Not sufficiently decentralized. L2 is a centralized sequencer not a blockchain. Accumulate $SOL under $200.
You late already. $1 trillion is about to enter @solana ecosystem through #xStocks and we have not yet passed regulatory approval in the US. Once the Market Structure Bill is approved this goes live to the globe and the US capital market grows 2x via Stable Coin stimulus. which proxy US Treasuries.
