Ep. 714 Why Solana Could Dominate Crypto (And What Ethereum Got Wrong) with SOL Strategies

Max Kaplan of Sol Strategies breaks down how his company is building deep infrastructure within the Solana ecosystem through validators, staking products, and treasury strategy. He argues that crypto is entering a new phase where real revenue, usage, and block space demand will determine long-term value—not hype. Max makes the case that Solana is best positioned to win due to its speed, scalability, and ability to handle massive trading volume at low cost. He also highlights future catalysts like faster upgrades, tokenized real-world assets, and growing institutional participation as key drivers for the next wave of adoption.
