Congrats to the winners! https://t.co/vN3cM7KkdA
The layer-1 blockchain’s Total Value Locked(TVL), considered equivalent to market capitalization, consistently climbed over the past three months and hit a high of $12.69 billion according to data from DeFiLlama.
Solana price has not increased in proportion to the rise in its TVL. Analysts have argued that there is room for vertical growth in SOL price.
Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst @ByzGeneral believes that Solana is primed to hit a new all-time high as open interest remains low. Historically, relatively low open interest is ideal for vertical growth in asset price.
$SOL looks very healthy to me.

Higher prices, but less OI.
Still on its path to a new ATH I think.
Just needs a bit more ranging.

Ethereum Triple Halving narrative author Nikhil Shamapant believes that there will be zero-knowledge rollup (zkr) implementations on Solana.
A zero-knowledge rollup is a Layer 2 blockchain solution that boosts the speed and effectiveness of the underlying blockchain. The launch of zkr on Solana would mark the beginning of a layer-2 ecosystem focused on building on Solana, a shift from the “Ethereum-first” approach.
On the other hand, in their position - it makes sense to build it because that's what an aggressive competitor would do. $ETH heads might be salty, but @KyleSamani is probably right that we will see zkr implementations on $SOL and soon. The question for debate is does it matter

Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst @AltcoinSherpa is bullish on Solana but does not expect SOL to outperform BTC. The analyst is currently accumulating before the SOL price breakout.
$SOL: I still think its unlikely that thing outperforms BTC for the next few weeks. Potential lower high printed now. Im not sure if I'll get a higher sell in- I'm still in 50% of my position but will accumulate more SOL when this pair hopefully goes down. #Solana pic.twitter.com/iLpO6j9wxx
