I looked at some market data analysis and especially want to discuss a phenomenon.

No matter how aggressively retail investors play on Solana, the real money-makers are not the winners — instead, it's the group selling tools. During the last meme season, the entire industry chain of the Solana ecosystem literally siphoned over 4 billion USD from the market. This is not an exaggeration; how exactly was it divided?

First, platforms like Launchpad that issue tokens took in about 1 billion USD. These platforms set up the stage for project teams to perform, retail investors rush in to participate in subscriptions, while the platforms collect fees for listing and transaction fees. Users suffer huge losses, while the platforms are instead rolling in profits.

It's the same old trick again, launchpad vampires really have nothing to say.

Those who sell shovels always make the most, retail investors are still dreaming.

I knew it, I got cut again this time, but I saw very clearly — the truly profitable games are not in the price of the coin, but in the ecosystem. I will continue to increase my position because Solana will definitely break new highs in the long run; this wave is just a shakeout.
