The post ANSEM soars 299% and brings Solana’s memecoin trenches back to life appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Black Bull (ANSEM) is up roughly 299% over seven days, trading with $64.9 million in 24-hour volume and a market cap near $173 million, per CoinGecko. That size puts ANSEM in a category that traders treat as a read on Solana’s broader risk appetite. Traders are calling the move a sign the trenches are back, and DefiLlama shows Pump.fun volume at $5.33 billion in weekly DEX volume and $18.22 billion over 30 days. July 4 was the first day Pump.fun and PumpSwap crossed $1 billion in daily volume since April 8, and the week of June 29 to July 5 was the first above $5 billion since late March. On July 1, Solana’s memecoin factory hit its highest daily numbers for token launches and graduations in 80 days, driven largely by ANSEM. The token has already spawned competing variants, and copycat dilution is usually one of the first signs that a trench cycle is picking back up. Ph

The post ‘True Tokens Exist’: Solana Founder Yakovenko Rejects Myth That Only Bitcoin Has Value appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new round of debate is gaining momentum on X over why investors should hold base-layer network tokens at all.

Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko tried to put an end to the latest discussion in a new post, explaining why this myth is wrong and why there are “true tokens” on the market with a fundamentally different form of ownership. Why holding ‘true tokens’ isn’t useless: Solana’s Yakovenko explains According to Yakovenko’s logic, traditional stocks provide only legal rights, which any government can freeze with a single click. In contrast, the head of Solana points to infrastructure tokens, which provide not paper

The post Solana Reclaims $81 and Eyes $83 Resistance Breakout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana News Solana (SOL) reclaimed the $81 mark this week and is now pressing against the $81.5–$83 resistance band that has repeatedly capped its recovery. The move extended a roughly 11% weekly advance for the largest proof-of-history altcoin, though our reading of the tape shows buyers still struggling to convert that ceiling into a launchpad. Analysts flag heavy correlation with Bitcoin: a slide in BTC toward the low-$50,000s could drag SOL back below $60, a level several strategists view as a cleaner long entry. A confirmed break above $83 opens the door to the $97–$100 zone, the next structural pivot traders are watching. Institutional adoption on Solana accelerated as tokenization firm Securitize issued roughly $295 million of New York Stock Exchange–listed common stock directly on the network, following the company’s SPAC debut. The move places tangible equity value on-chain and u
