I've been using/testing **Hylo** lately and honestly, it’s one of the more interesting DeFi projects on Solana right now. The opportunity to create yield and farm points for future rewards is prime at the moment as its only in **season 0**
It's a Solana-native protocol that basically gives you two main things: **hyUSD**, a USD-pegged stablecoin backed by liquid staking tokens (like JitoSOL, mSOL, bSOL), and **xSOL**, a leveraged version of SOL that lets you amplify your exposure without getting liquidated. It’s all on-chain, permissionless, and built specifically for Solana’s high-speed environment.
What makes it cool is that the yield isn’t.. **nice**. The collateral (LSTs) already earns staking rewards natively, and Hylo routes those rewards to hyUSD holders through its internal mechanics. Current rates are somewhere around **15–20% APY**, depending on the underlying LST yields and protocol incentives. You don’t have to loop or babysit positions — it just accrues naturally while staying overcollateralized.
Then there’s **xSOL**, which gives you around 1.5–3x SOL exposure through an on-chain “bond” system. It automatically adjusts to volatility so you don’t get wiped out by normal market dips. Basically, you can hold it in your wallet and get leveraged exposure without the usual liquidation risk or margin stress.
# Notes before jumping in:
* Minting or redeeming costs a small fee (usually 0.1–0.3%), plus minor slippage when dealing with JitoSOL. So it’s best suited for medium-to-long-term holds.
* Yields depend on LST rates, which can fluctuate if staking inflation changes. Still, Solana’s network activity tends to balance that out.
* It’s new, so the model hasn’t really been stress-tested through a full market cycle.
* Liquidity is solid but not massive yet, so larger positions may see some slippage.
There’s also **sHYUSD**, which lets you stake your hyUSD for extra rewards and help stabilize the system — higher risk, higher potential upside.

1. Is it just dollars in crypto form? Yes.
2. Is it pointless? No. You need something to buy and sell crypto against. On an exchange like Coinbase or Binance, you can use regular money and let them deal with the technical details. Out on the chain, this is not possible. A stand-in for regular money is needed.
3. What does "out on the chain" mean? BTC the coin exists on the Bitcoin network. ETH the coin exists on the Ethereum network. SOL the coin exists on the Solana network. There are other things on these networks besides their namesake coin. Doing stuff with those "other things" is called on-chain activity. Such as DeFi and NFTs. Chain here is short for blockchain. The network is the thing that creates/stores(enables the existence of) the blockchain.
Short intro done. Can you really make ~~8-10%~~ money on stablecoins? If so, how?
Yes. By, in one or another, funding on-chain activity aka selling shovels. If you get good at it, you can make a lot more than 8-10%.
How?... That's like asking what career should I pick. As a beginner, just go with Aave. Turn some real world money into USDC and get into into Aave on Arbitrum/Base/Polygon. You will learn enough by doing that to pick your own path forward.

Was thinking about how certain tools just explode in adoption during bull markets, not because of marketing, but because people actually need them when things get chaotic.
2017: Everyone discovered hardware wallets and Blockfolio (RIP)
2021: MetaMask became mandatory, Phantom for Solana, Etherscan became your homepage
2025? I think we're seeing a shift toward onchain automation. Not just "another DEX interface," but tools that let you setand-forget strategies without babysitting charts 24/7 or trusting CEXs.
Personally been using Banana Pro for DCA and limit orders directly on-chain. Started as a meme Telegram bot, now its legitimately useful for both ETH and SOL. The fact that I don't think about it anymore means it's working.
But thats just one example. Point is:the next wave of users wont tolerate clunky UX or seed phrase anxiety. They'll need dead-simple web apps that feel like... normal apps.
My prediction: Tools that combine simplicity + self-custody + cross-chain will dominate. No more "bridge to X chain, swap on Y DEX, export CSV for taxes" nightmare flows.
Whats your bet? What tool or category do you think will be the "everyone's using this now" story of this cycle? And what gaps are still painfully obvious that nobody's solved yet?

I have had Avax since last year, holding it, and I have lost money. The only time there was a good sales opportunity was in November-December of last year, and I didn't sell. Useless currency, at least in the medium term. I'm still holding but I can't wait for it to go up to sell that crap, in one week SOL has given me more profits than AVAX.

Been DCAing into SOL and a few memecoins for the past few months, and I was getting absolutely wrecked by either CEX withdrawal fees or just manually timing buys like an idiot. Tried setting up automated DCA orders directly on-chain last week and honestly shocked how smooth it was. No more paying Binance $2-3 per withdrawal for a $50 buy, no more forgetting to buy during dips. Used Banana Pro for this -took like 2 minutes to set up recurring buys. I just connected wallet, picked the token, set frequency and amount. Gas fees are minimal since its native Solana, not bridging through ETH or dealing with CEX nonsense.
What I like:
* Multi-chain (works on both SOL and ETH if youre juggling both)
* Clean UX, doesnt feel like you're interacting with a contract
* Can pause/adjust anytime without canceling the whole thing
The kicker: Im not even using CEXs for small plays anymore. Everything under $500 I just DCA on-chain now. Feels way cleaner, and I actually own my keys.
Anyone else moved their DCA strategy fully on-chain? Curious what setups people are running - seems like we're finally at the point where self-custody tools don't suck.

Only in terms of the large amount of low time preference whales staking.
Imagine buying 1000 ETH @ $400. Initial cost 400,000. Staking at 4%. At a ETH price of $4000, you are receiving your initial investment back in rewards every 2.5 years plus a 10x. This early whale adoption stops a lot of selling pressure IMO. Not an actual store of value but a compounding rate of return that isnt easily duplicated if you were early.
The same can be said for SOL. Tokenomics and demand will come into equilibrium and some of the recent inflation/sell pressure will be reduced. 1000 SOL sounds like a lot but you could have purchased for $12- $25k most of 2023. When the price goes to $400 at 6% staking, staking will pay your initial 24k in rewards every year. You can do the math from there.
There will always be some sale pressure from large validators but the incentives change as price goes up. I do believe SOL can survive the onslaught for the next 5-10 years based on adoption, tokenization of assets, stable coin adoption, true transaction time to finality and TPS, qualiy of devs, ect.

If you want leverage and a safe trading environment, you might want to consider CME crypto futures. They support the 4 highest cap cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP. Most of the crypto exchanges are seedy, because they are not under the scrutiny of any governmental organization. Trump isn't going to impose any restrictions either. He dismantled the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

What did anyone even get out of it? He’s done nothing good for crypto. Strategic reserve didn’t happen, he made his own meme coin on SOL that tanked ETH and other alts, tariffs uncertainty, etc. What were we supposed to get from this “deal” in the first place?

Got it. Like I mentioned, the fees are per transaction, not based on the monetary amount. That’s why I’d recommend holding on Coinbase for a while if you’re buying in these smaller denominations.
At least until you build up and learn more, there’s nothing wrong with storing them on Coinbase—just make sure your account is set up properly with a strong password and 2FA. For reassurance, Coinbase also custodies most major ETFs and a portion of major treasury assets.
A few other tips (mostly obvious):
* Don’t fall for scams or click suspicious links.
* Not Financial Advice, but I’d suggest sticking to major market-cap tokens that have survived multiple market cycles—basically what you’re doing by choosing BTC and ETH. You can check Google for tokens by market cap.
* Ideally, major tokens (BTC ,ETH, SOL, etc.) should make up 80–90% of your portfolio, with at least 60% of that being Bitcoin. That way, at least half your total portfolio is Bitcoin. You can then use the remainder to speculate on newer projects, utility tokens, or other altcoins if you’d like.
Even just buying and holding BTC and ETH for years, you’ll very likely do *very well*.

Stake SOL on wave.w-chain.com for 63% APR!!

This has happened before at several brokerages and iirc the traders were SOL

Hey everyone,
I just uploaded a new YouTube video where I quantitatively backtest the classic **RSI + Bollinger Bands strategy** \- one of the most popular volatility and momentum combinations in technical analysis.
**Watch here:** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2ESnjhT2no](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2ESnjhT2no)
This setup buys when RSI is oversold and price drops below the lower Bollinger Band, then exits when it returns to the midline as RSI recovers. The short logic mirrors that in reverse. I wanted to test how this hybrid system performs across multiple markets and timeframes using a fully algorithmic Python framework with realistic fees and slippage included.
Markets & Timeframes Tested:
* Crypto (Binance Futures: BTC, ETH, SOL)
* US Stocks (NASDAQ, NYSE)
* Futures (CME, COMEX, NYMEX, CBOE)
* Forex (EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, and more)
Timeframes: **1m, 3m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 4h, 1d**
Metrics analyzed:
* Profitability and total PnL
* Sharpe ratio and drawdowns
* Win rate and trade distribution
Main takeaways:
1. RSI–Bollinger setups tend to perform better in volatile, mean-reverting environments.
2. Long-term timeframes showed more stability, while short-term scalping produced noise.
3. Optimization of RSI periods and band width had a major effect on consistency.
I’d really appreciate your feedback:
* Have you ever traded with RSI + Bollinger Bands?
* What strategy would you like to see tested next?
I’m building a channel focused on transparent, data-driven trading research. If you find it useful, your thoughts or critique would help a lot.
Thanks for checking it out, and good luck in the markets.

I am so done with crypto. I just want SOL to go back to ~220 so i can sell for a somewhat nice profit. Im still in profit right now as my average price is around 125 but still.

What’s crazy is how a meme project on BNB has managed to build momentum through narrative discipline.
The messaging is consistent, militant, and engaging — that’s brand power.
If ETH and SOL can’t meme, they can’t win.

All? That's not true. Orbitt(.pro) starts at just 1.5 SOL and works fine.

How much SOL does the Solana Foundation hold?
