Solana is once again in the spotlight, surpassing Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain (BNB) in net transfer volume. According to CryptoRank, over the past 30 days, transactions worth $28.07 billion have been processed on the Solana blockchain, second only to Tether (USDT), which recorded nearly $300 billion during the same period.
Just in the last week, Solana registered an influx of capital amounting to $4.72 billion. This increased its total active capital to $9.46 billion, the highest level since March 2025.

This indicates that investor confidence is returning.
The price action of Solana also supports a bullish sentiment. Chart analyst AMCryptoAlex noted that Solana broke out of a descending wedge, a classic reversal pattern.

This breakout, backed by strong volume and momentum, suggests that the downtrend may have ended. Currently trading at around $147.59, Solana's price is targeting short-term goals in the range of $170-$180. If optimistic sentiment continues, new highs could be established as early as the third quarter.

The market capitalization of Solana currently stands at $76.4 billion, with a circulating supply of 520 million SOL.

Wall Street companies are increasingly estimating the likelihood of a recession in the U.S. by the end of the year, citing rising risks from Trump's trade policy, reports Yahoo.

However, considering that tariffs are hitting businesses and consumers, economists warn that the economic consequences may manifest sooner than expected, introducing uncertainty into broader economic prospects.

As noted by some Wall Street commentators, the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), the official group responsible for declaring recessions, does so only after analyzing several months of economic data. This means that we often do not know we are in a recession until it has started or even ended.

But there are already signals worth paying attention to.

Европейские акции пережили значительную распродажу со стороны хедж-фондов в марте и апреле, что стало крупнейшим объемом за десятилетие, согласно отчету Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS).

По данным стратегов банка, эта тенденция была вызвана опасениями относительно предложенных президентом Трампом тарифов и сильного евро, что потенциально может повлиять на экспортно-ориентированную экономику Европы.

Индекс STOXX 600, включающий компании, которые генерируют 60% своих доходов на международном уровне, стал объектом значительной части этих продаж. Рынок США, в частности, составляет почти половину этих зарубежных доходов.

За последние два месяца хедж-фонды изменили свои стратегии с длинных ставок, ожидая роста акций, на короткие сделки, предполагая падение европейских активов.

В течение марта и апреля трейдеры были чистыми продавцами европейских акций в течение двух третей торговых дней. Распродажа была особенно сконцентрирована в отдельных акциях, чувствительных к тарифам, особенно в автомобильной промышленности и индустрии товаров класса люкс.

#Trump100Days 100 days of Donald Trump's loneliness

Writer Gabriel García Márquez was repeatedly asked to explain the title of his celebrated novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude." He denied it as much as he could.

"It's magical realism," he said. "Understand it as you wish." Once, however, he said that "loneliness is opposed to solidarity."

So, we understand it as we wish. The main character of the book — Colonel Aureliano Buendía — is a powerful character. But terribly lonely. He resembles Grigory Melekhov in "And Quiet Flows the Don." Buendía does not know how to live, whom to fight, where to lead his people. The colonel cannot find common ground with the people around him. He is not even able to establish a connection with the time in which he lives. And so he leads his people who knows where, to some illusory goal they themselves have invented. To the sea, which no one reaches and cannot reach, so they have to settle on the shores of the swamp.

The main character of Márquez's book — Colonel Aureliano Buendía — is a powerful character. But terribly lonely.

What do a brave mustached young Colombian and elderly Donald Trump have in common? It's loneliness. "Really?" you might start to protest.
