Upcoming Crypto Events of This Week: March 21 – 26
The crypto space is set to witness several notable events next week. According to Crypto Events Global, key events include Solana Crossroads 2025, The Future of Finance Conference 2025, and Crypto Vision Conference 2025. Solana Crossroads 2025, scheduled for April 25th and 26th in Istanbul, is expected to be the biggest yearly meetup for Solana ($SOL) community members, developers, and ecosystem developers.
Solana Whale Unstakes 100K SOL for $153M Profit
A Solana whale unstaked 100,000 SOL, worth approximately $13.9 million, and deposited it into Binance after four years of staking. The whale originally accumulated 991,079 SOL at an average price of $27. With Solana trading at $140, the realized and unrealized gains from the original allocation now exceed $153 million. The whale still holds 1.19 million SOL staked, valued at about $166.37 million, suggesting a strategic rebalancing rather than a full exit.
Solana Expected to Outperform Ethereum by 140%
Renowned trader Peter Brandt has issued a bullish forecast for Solana (SOL), suggesting it could outperform Ethereum (ETH) by 30-140% in the long term. Brandt’s projection hinges on a classic Cup and Handle pattern—a technical formation often signaling further upside. Solana’s recent rebound underscores his thesis: the asset has surged 58% from a three-week low of $95, now trading above $150. Meanwhile, Ethereum investors saw more modest gains of 30% over the same period. Institutional interest appears to align with Brandt’s optimism. Galaxy Digital, a heavyweight in crypto investment, reportedly converted $105 million worth of ETH into SOL, signaling confidence in Solana’s momentum. The trade reflects a broader narrative of capital rotation into altcoins as markets regain footing. Brandt’s analysis leaves room for Solana to close the gap with Ethereum, noting its relative undervaluation despite recent outperformance. Market watchers are now weighing whether SOL’s rally marks the start of a sustained trend or a fleeting divergence.
JPool Simplifies High-Yield Solana Staking

JPool stands out on Solana by letting users stake SOL while keeping their funds available for other yield opportunities. This addresses the common issue of staking enthusiasts wanting strong returns without sacrificing liquidity. By depositing SOL, users receive a derivative that can be utilized across various DeFi platforms.
