  • Flincap’s CMO highlights cryptocurrency industry’s maturity and resilience despite challenges.
  • Solana’s community efforts in Africa drive significant growth and mainstream adoption.
  • Speculation on spot Solana ETF grows amid recent applications by ETF issuers.

Oladotun Wilfred Akangbe, chief marketing officer of Flincap, a platform for African over-the-counter crypto exchanges, praised the maturity and resilience of the cryptocurrency industry, particularly highlighting Solana’s impact in Africa.

Akangbe shared that the industry has shown impressive growth, managing to overcome challenges that would have previously caused significant market disruptions. Despite issues such as the regulatory troubles facing Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao, who pleaded guilty to violating U.S. money laundering laws in November 2023, the crypto industry continues to expand.

Solana’s Strong Community Efforts in Africa

According to Akangbe, the vitality and adoption of any technology rely heavily on the strength of its community. He pointed out that many crypto projects focus on addressing community issues, particularly in remittances and international payments, indicating positive annual growth.

Akangbe’s comments followed a series of Solana Allstars Nigeria community meetups, showcasing Solana’s robust community in Africa. The Solana Foundation has initiated various activities like meetups, hackathons, and educational workshops, effectively integrating many Africans into the Solana ecosystem. These efforts enhance community engagement and promote practical blockchain technology adoption.

Speculation Surrounding Solana ETF

There is growing speculation about the approval of a spot Solana exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas suggested that such an ETF might only be feasible with a change in U.S. administration and the leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Several ETF issuers, including 21Shares and VanEck, have recently submitted applications for a spot Solana ETF.

Meanwhile, Solana’s price saw a significant drop of over 15% in 48 hours, reaching a low of $121 on July 1, with weekly and monthly losses of around 10% and 23%, respectively.
