Bitcoin 💰$BTC may test the 90K or 85K levels, but it will quickly rebound and move up. The real focus should be on altcoins, especially Ethereum. Ethereum has gained significant strength recently, particularly due to: * Institutional investors * Staking narrative * Real crypto investors, who were scammed in Solana, realizing that altcoins won't rise without Ethereum leading first At this point, #Ethereum is primed for a sharp breakout at any moment. Options markets are currently heavily shorting 💰$ETH Ethereum, which likely means a strong upward move is coming to liquidate those positions acting as fuel for the rally. Stay with Ethereum, stay safe! 🔥🚀

Sonic SVM, the first chain extension for Solana, has launched its $1 million Mobius Hackathon, inviting developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) on its gaming-optimized platform. The event, which begins on February 17 and runs until March 14, aims to accelerate innovation across multiple blockchain verticals, including gaming, decentralized finance (DeFi), and artificial intelligence (AI). Hackathon Tracks and Judging Criteria According to a press statement shared with CryptoPotato, the hackathon will feature four distinct tracks: Attention Capital Market, DeFi, AI, and Gaming. Participants in the event will be tasked with creating apps that address specific needs within these categories. This will include content tokenization for social media platforms, yield-generating tools, AI agent aggregators, and high-revenue gaming experiences. Additionally, a panel of industry experts will evaluate submissions on the basis of their innovation, technical depth, and viability in the real world. The judges will also offer constructive feedback to help the participating teams refine their projects, ensuring they all gain valuable feedback from the experience. The experts are expected to share updates on social media, promoting standout entries in the hackathon to highlight the potential of Sonic’s ecosystem. Once the competition runs its course, they will assess final submissions and announce winners on April 2, with the $1 million prize pool distributed across the top projects. Sonic hopes the initiative will help accelerate the growth of its ecosystem, while demonstrating its ability to improve Solana’s scalability via a specialized high-performance layer. Sonic’s Framework and Recent Milestones The platform is built on HyperGrid, a horizontal scaling framework for orchestrating Solana rollups. It enables games to launch their own blockchain layers, which lets developers create highly customizable game economies. Last year, Sonic celebrated the success of its incentivized testnet called “Odyssey,” which saw more than 100,000 wallets connected to it and 17 million transactions performed on it. The launch of the hackathon comes on the back of reports that apps on Solana had generated 10 times more revenue than their Ethereum counterparts. Over a 24 hour period in mid-February, Solana apps raked in up to $8.4 million, dwarfing Ethereum’s $875,000. The trend was also witnessed in the network’s trading volume, where Solana recorded activity worth $5.39 billion compared to its bigger rival’s $2.14 billion.

Meow, founder of Jupiter and co-founder of Meteora, revealed that neither Jupiter nor Meteora committed insider trading or financial malpractice. Jupiter also hired the Fenwick & West law firm to investigate and report on any issues in the company. Meow maintained that he stood by Ben Chow, the project’s previous lead, and his statement about the company. The company’s founder said that he believed Ben when he said there was no financial inappropriateness in dealing with partners. Jupiter distances itself from insider trading allegations It’s all unravelling so quickly. In the past hour we found out that Jupiter owner Meow is the real owner of Meteora. Ben lied about having no involvement with Libra and other Kelsier launches and was fired from Meteora. Gotta imagine Solana and its execs knew this the whole time. pic.twitter.com/n5F8IC5H3W — Beanie (@beaniemaxi) February 18, 2025 Meow, the founder of Jupiter, refuted claims that the company was involved in insider trading or financial malpractices. The firm also said that it did not receive any tokens inappropriately. Jupiter also revealed it hired Fenwick & West to investigate the cases of insider trading and financial misconduct in the company. The 3rd party law firm will also issue a report on the investigation, which they will publish independently. Jupiter also disclosed that Meteora had been operating as a separate entity from Jupiter for over a year and Ben had been running it without his involvement. Meteora’s co-founder added that Ben had done a great job building up the company’s team. He also said that Ben built the most innovative DEX in the past year and the most active LP community in the world. Meow shared that Ben, as the project’s lead, had shown a lack of judgement and care about some of the core aspects of the project over the past couple of months. He said it was unacceptable and that Ben had chosen to resign. Meow revealed that Meteora was looking for new leadership moving forward. Jupiter’s founder acknowledged that Ben had been an extremely helpful and kind participant in the ecosystem for a while. He urged everyone not to jump to conclusions and be as kind to Ben as possible as he seeks to clear his name. Jupiter claims to be the gold standard in token transparency Jupiter said that JUP has been the gold standard when it comes to token transparency and token integrity was key from day one. The company also revealed they were the only major protocol to ever account for every token over the course of 3 audits. The firm also added that they have never sold tokens OTC and that every major token use was carefully documented and planned in their audits. Meow also believes that Jupiter is one of the most non-extractive players in the ecosystem. He said that the company had allowed users to swap tens of billions for free. Jupiter also allowed their partners to make hundreds of millions of dollars in fees with minimal take on their end. The firm confirmed that their perpetual fees were transparently documented and reported over the last year along with the two best audit partners in the space. It’s also the first time they charged users for swaps at 0.05%-0.1% in their recent Ultra Mode, which the firm said is 10x-20x lower than other main platforms. The protocol also maintained that the vast majority of fees are kept on Solana and invested in jupSOL/JLP. The fees stay in the system other than the amounts used to fund talent acquisition and operating expenses. “On my end, I have not sold a single JUP, nor do I regularly trade memecoins. I have been offered free tokens many times for marketing, and I’ve always rejected every single one. I diamond hand most of the tokens that I received from investment / advisory in the past prior to Jupiter.” – Meow, founder of Jupiter and co-founder of Meteora. Meow apologized that they had not held other projects to the same standard as the high standards for token integrity at Jupiter. He also maintained that the way to grow the industry is not simply via more tokens, but through projects that have the same level of token certainty. Meow also believes that the industry will grow through long-term alignment and extreme transparency like they practiced with JUP. The firm’s founder disclosed that his main goals will be to create permissionless products, operating systems, and ethical standards. He believes his goals can form the new foundation of crypto in the future. Meow said he wants to make Jupiter the best decentralized platform and build Jupnet as the network to connect everything. He also hopes to take the lessons from the accusations and the robust systems they have built for JUP to define the next major phase in their industry.

Many pioneers believe that now is the time to liquidate all their coins to realize immediate profits. However, they overlook a crucial point: at this stage, only early adopters have control over the market because we are the only ones who have received Pi. With the official mainnet launch on the horizon, the Pi network is set to transition from its current test phase into a fully operational cryptocurrency ecosystem, opening the door for broader market participation and enhanced liquidity. Rather than hastily selling at a low price, we should strategically manage our holdings. By carefully controlling the supply, we can stimulate an increase in buy orders, thereby driving up the price in accordance with the basic economic principle of supply and demand. The PI IOU market provides a compelling example—despite the absence of a tangible coin, the overwhelming demand has driven the price as high as $50 and abo. This phenomenon underscores the immense latent interest and potential that the Pi network holds. As we approach this pivotal launch, it is imperative to exercise prudence and maintain a disciplined approach. By holding onto our coins and regulating the available supply, we not only maximize our long-term returns but also play an instrumental role in stabilizing and growing the emerging Pi economy. In essence, those who command control over the market dynamics can ultimately influence the price trajectory. Let us seize this opportunity with informed restraint and collective strategy, paving the way for a robust and thriving Pi ecosystem.
