Hedge Fund Founder Says Solana Will Lead ‘Tokenization of Everything’
Solana's SOL
The move came amid a spike in trading volume and fresh commentary from Syncracy Capital Co-Founder Ryan Watkins, who reaffirmed Solana’s long-term importance in the evolving crypto economy.
Watkins, whose firm makes concentrated, thesis-driven investments in crypto, followed up on a prediction he made in May, when he called the competition between Solana and Hyperliquid “the cryptoeconomy’s defining battle” as U.S. equities begin migrating onchain. At the time, he suggested that the winner could become a $100 billion to $500 billion platform capable of reshaping capital markets.
On June 25, in a new post on X, Watkins said that Solana now appears set to lead the “tokenization of everything,” while Hyperliquid is positioned to dominate the perpetual futures space. The remarks reinforced market narratives around Solana’s potential to support the next wave of blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
Institutional interest in Solana continues to rise, with CME Futures volume for SOL recently hitting a record high of 1.75 million contracts. Market watchers have taken this as a sign of deepening engagement from sophisticated investors even as price action cools from recent highs. SOL’s current support levels and structural strength are drawing attention ahead of potential retests of the $148–$150 range.

AI Capital Expenditure Faces a Dilemma: Accelerating Puts Pressure on Cash Flow, Slowing Down Undermines the Growth Narrative
Nomura Securities believes that the AI investment narrative is mired in an internal contradiction: if hyperscale cloud providers accelerate capital expenditures, their free cash flow will continue to be drained, raising doubts about the sustainability of financing; if they slow down, it would indicate a loss of confidence in AI demand and profitability expectations. Both paths lead to sell-offs. The crowded long positions accumulated during the AI agent boom in September have triggered large-scale stop-losses under negative catalysts, spreading to US Treasury bonds, exchange rates, and commodity markets, resulting in systemic deleveraging.

AI trading collapse: Will Anthropic postpone its "Super IPO"? The "scheduled listing date" in mid-November is approaching.
The time window is extremely tight—according to SEC regulations, the S-1 filing must be submitted by next week at the latest, and prediction markets estimate the probability of a listing within the year at around 80%. The sell-off in the AI sector has cast a shadow over the listing prospects, and the previous plan to go public in September has already fallen through. Several market participants say that Anthropic may face pressure to delay its listing, but some analysts point out that the company's urgent need for capital may drive it to stick to the original plan.
