In this video, Miles Deutscher explains why Solana might face short- to mid-term weakness, mainly due to a major shift in its ecosystem. He breaks down the impact of Pump.fun’s token plans, his current market strategy, and where he sees better opportunities.
Key Takeaways:
-
Solana Facing Short-Term Pressure
Solana could underperform due to changing investor narratives and potential capital rotation. -
Pump.fun’s Token Launch
Pump.fun is raising $1 billion to launch its own token. Since SOL was previously used as a proxy for exposure to Pump.fun, this could lead to rotation away from SOL. -
Shift Toward Ethereum
Miles has been rotating into ETH and ETH-based projects, expecting Ethereum to outperform in the near term. -
ETH Ecosystem Looking Strong
Ethereum has upcoming catalysts (like ETF talks) and a more stable user base, making it attractive during this phase. -
Alternative L1s Gaining Attention
With Solana cooling off, Layer 1s like Sui and Hype could benefit from renewed liquidity and focus. -
Criticism of Pump.fun
While profitable for experienced traders, Miles believes Pump.fun has been damaging for retail users and overall crypto sentiment. -
Still Long-Term Bullish on Solana
Despite reducing his SOL exposure short-term, he believes Solana has strong fundamentals and product-market fit for the long run.
Outro:
Miles isn’t giving up on Solana, but he’s playing the current market dynamics carefully — rotating into Ethereum and select altcoins while waiting for better SOL entry points. He urges viewers to stay flexible and think both short- and long-term when managing risk.
