Solana Takes Center Stage: Istanbul Hosts Crypto’s Hottest Community
Solana’s ecosystem flexes its dominance as developers and degens descend on Istanbul for its annual gathering. The ’Ethereum killer’ keeps eating market share—while TradFi bankers still pretend not to notice.
Why it matters: With throughput that leaves competitors gasping and NFT traders flocking, Solana’s real test isn’t tech—it’s surviving crypto’s hype cycle without becoming another ’ghost chain.’
The cynical take: Watch VCs quietly rotate their ’long-term holds’ into SOL while retail bags the usual memecoins.
