Solana and XRP Are Not Dead, But Your Memecoins Might Be
The sea of red in your portfolio is depressing. I get it. But if you look closely, not everything is dying.
While Bitcoin takes a breather and everyone panics, some altcoins are actually showing signs of life. Specifically, the ones that actually do something.
Solana: The Cockroach of Crypto
I say this with love: Solana is unkillable.
Despite the market nuke, Solana just saw $26 million in new investment inflows this month. Why? Because people are actually using it.
It’s not just for trading pictures of monkeys anymore. It’s fast, it’s cheap, and institutions are starting to realize it’s a viable hedge against Ethereum dominance. If you’re holding SOL, you’re holding infrastructure.
XRP: The Zombie That Woke Up
Ripple (XRP) is also showing strength. It’s recovering faster than most of the market.
Love them or hate them (and the XRP Army is annoying as hell), they have stuck around. In a market flush, liquidity flows to survivors. XRP is a survivor.
The Memecoin Graveyard
Now, let’s talk about the garbage in your wallet.
"ElonCumRocket"? "SafeMoon2.0"? "SkibidiToiletCoin"?
Yeah, those are going to zero.
When the market crashes, speculative vaporware gets deleted first. There is no "community" when the price drops 90%. There are only bagholders.
The Lesson
This crash is a filter.
- Utility survives: BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP.
- Vaporware dies: 99% of the tokens launched in the last 6 months.
If you are holding quality assets, just close the app and wait. If you are holding garbage, well... maybe you can write it off on your taxes.
Choose better next time.
