Solana's real world asset ecosystem has surpassed $3.4 billion in total value, a new all-time high. Up \~230% over the past year and now the third-largest chain for RWAs, behind only Ethereum and BNB Chain
Tokenization on Solana is quietly becoming a real thing.

The answer depends on the definition of 'dead'.
If 'dead' means 'The future is not bright and the likelihood of a new ATH is very low.', then yeah, it's dead alright.
If 'dead' means 'It's going to zero!', then no, I don't think it's dead.
You must understand, it's very difficult for 'older' projects to reach new ATHs because there's always the recency bias and there's always a new shiny thing people will want to jump into. Just look at the top 10 projects (by market cap) at the beginning of every year since 2017:

Ask yourself now; where are REP, MAID, ETC, STEEM, MIOTA, BSV, LUNA and the likes... 2017 and 2026 have only 3 projects in common and one of them is Bitcoin.
The sector is mainly driven by hype because, I mean, what else is there? Right?
Very few projects have real-life use cases and real impacts on everyday life and ADA is NOT one of them.
However, that doesn't mean ADA can't be or shouldn't be traded. Anything can be traded. Then again, there's also the question; why would you trade ADA and not some other new, shiny thing?

I bought ETH when it was around $300 in 2017 and mined it for four years, even when the price crashed to $80. The most I ever mined was about 1 ETH per week, and I mostly mined during the colder months. I usually shut the rigs down during hot summers, so most of the mining happened in winter, spring, and fall.
In hindsight, I probably would have been better off just buying ETH at $80. Mining 4 ETH in a month cost me around $600 in electricity, so roughly $150 per ETH. The rigs did heat the house, which lowered the natural gas portion of our energy bill, but I still could not compete with someone who simply bought ETH at $80. On top of that, I had all the hardware expenses, maintenance time, troubleshooting, heat, noise, and general hassle.
I like working on computers, but mining was not exactly the most rational approach. That is why I laugh at stubborn Bitcoin miners who seem trapped in the same mindset.
I also made some dumb BTC and ETH trades into shitcoins in late 2017 and early 2018. After that, I mostly just held the ETH I mined. All my BTC was traded away. In 2021, I sold some ETH to FOMO into the DOGE craze with Elon. Within a day, I bought back my original ETH amount and held the remaining DOGE as house money.
Since then, I have basically been a bag holder of all my coins. I sold some BNB in 2024, 2025, and 2026, and I sold some ZEC in 2026.
The rational thing to do would have been to unstake and sell all my ETH whenever it was above $4k, then buy it back when it crashed toward $2k. But that is hindsight wisdom. My bullishness on ETH prevented me from doing that.
And with my luck, if I ever decide to do that the next time ETH goes above $4k, it probably never goes back down to $2k.
I guess the lesson is that you have to pay attention to the broader asset sentiment and not just trap yourself in an echo chamber. Conviction is important, but it can also blind you.

What exactly is “trash”? Can you articulate that point?
People seem to be fixated on the burn, but if burns alone are the answer, why has the price remained around $0.05 with a circulating supply ranging from roughly 10 billion to 100 billion? There has to be more to the equation.
Look at what’s being built: retirement products, banking capabilities, betting, government payment rails, and real-world payment infrastructure. Those are tangible use cases that create long-term demand.
On paper, BNB may rank higher today, but when you compare the underlying infrastructure and real-world utility being developed, it only has a fraction of what’s being built elsewhere.
As I’ve reiterated before, comparing the two based solely on market position is a moot point. Rankings tell you where a project is today—what’s under the hood tells you where it’s capable of going.

I disagree. it's the whole point exactly...
CDC / CRO have the most certifications/licenses and they chose to use their token like trash, which is why it's performing the way it is.
Binance / BNB are actually using their coin correctly and its doing very very well in comparison.
On paper, CDC should be the #1 exchange and #1 exchange token, but it's the complete opposite in reality, which is why I and many others are furious.

A pal asked few days ago " you have $50k, how would you split it?" the options were **[BTC, HYPE, ETH, SOL, ZEC, NEAR, BNB, XRP, SUI]**. M reply was "49.5k in hype and 500 in btc"
My reason was simple, hype is the asset in that group that has the better chance of giving you good returns quick. OP's post provides the data to back my stance.

Like many on here, I took a much bigger punt on CDC than BInance. When FTX folded and an CZ whatever is name is (Ex BInance CEO and convicted criminal) came out and said CDC was basically trading insolvent, I admit I shat myself. But CDC pulled through that crazy time and had worked hard around the world since. Sure I’m spewing that I don’t have the same returns as I would have had on BNB. But I still believe that CRO will increase in value over the next 5 years. So if you’re not a believer, let go, it will be good for your soul. And if your believe there’s a chance, build your bag, DCA, buy low (like now) and be patient!

Depends on support - technically BNB Smart chain is recoverable as they use the exact same address structure as ETH.
However you don’t own the wallet, so yeah goodluck. Gotta ask support

I accidentally sent USDT via the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) to my Revolut deposit address(ETH).
When I first contacted support, they told me the funds were **recoverable** and that it would take **up to 2 weeks**. It's now been **more than 2 weeks**, and nothing has happened.
What's even more frustrating is that I keep getting different answers from support. One agent says the funds **can be recovered**, while another tells me they are **lost forever**.
How can the same case have completely different outcomes depending on which agent I speak to? This is honestly unacceptable.
Has anyone here been in the same situation and actually managed to recover their funds? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

yes but had I invested in BNB the time I invested in cronos, I would be retired by now.

Only people that say that are the ones that have joined cults… just wait until you run across the subset that believe BSV is the only true bitcoin and Craig Wright is the true Satoshi.
Fucking wild I tell you.
I’ll say this… I’ve traveled the world just using crypto for payments. Was able to pay for lodging, transportation, food, entertainment, and even bail with BTC across South America, Africa, Asia, and some parts of Europe and North America. About 35% of places took ETH. About 5% took ADA and BNB, about 1% took BCH… that ought to tell you something.

Is the current BNB uncertainty a risk or a potential opportunity?
