In a conversation with Cointelegraph CIO of Kronos Research, Vincent Liu, explained that these actions reflect a strong belief and conviction in the prospects of the Solana ecosystem.
“It’s a mindset. The real advantage in cryptocurrencies is not in chasing short-term hype, but in holding coins through cycles. Such steps create not just portfolios, but legacies,” added the expert.
According to Liu, by the year 5138, the value of the cryptocurrency will certainly be “significant.”
“If SOL appreciates by just 2-5% annually, over 3000 years, the use of compound interest yields an exponential result. Regardless of market conditions, long-term investing remains one of the most powerful financial forces,” he noted.
In fact, the income could be even higher considering staking rewards are paid out every two to three days. Currently, depending on the platform and validator choice, the rate ranges from 5% to 8% annually, the publication reminded.
Back in March, Ethereum regained leadership in DEX, displacing Solana.
The decline in trading volume on Solana, including on platforms like Raydium and Pump.fun, is attributed to waning interest in the meme-coin segment. However, as recently as January, the “people’s ecosystem” showed a surge in activity thanks to the launch of the TRUMP token.
