A senior executive at DeFi Development Corp. (DFDV) has delivered one of the most aggressive long-term forecasts for the Solana price yet. According to him, Solana could see its value catapult to $10,000, leaving much of the market in the dust. This outlook, shaped by recent market turbulence and years of crypto experience, has drawn attention from industry experts as the DFDV executive outlines how SOL can reach this target by capturing a significant share of the global digital value. Solana Price To Reach $10,000 In 10 Years DFDV COO and CIO Parker White recently shared his long-term thesis on Solana following a rough week for risk assets in the market. White argued that Solana is poised for significant growth over the next decade, as digital value transfer becomes a core pillar of the global economy. Related Reading: Institutions Have Been Buying Solana Every Day For 2 Weeks, Is $300 Possible? In his view, the pressures of the past week only strengthen the case for Solana’s explosive upside potential. He emphasized that SOL is ideally positioned to capture an outsized portion of the global digital value, which he believes could propel the altcoin’s price toward the $10,000 mark. With SOL currently trading at $137 after declining by more than 25% in the past month, a surge to $10,000 would represent a massive gain of over 7,000%. As a Solana-focused treasury company, DFDV offers a different path of exposure. White has explained that he prefers building his position through the firm rather than purchasing SOL or a Solana ETF. He described the structure of DFDV as a Digital Asset Trust (DAT) controlled by him and a group of long-time colleagues, who collectively own more than 20% of the common stock. Furthermore, he stated that this concentrated level of ownership enables DFDV to aggressively grow its Solana per share much faster than a passive ETF could achieve. Responding to a comment questioning the purpose of such a structure, White emphasized that DFDV’s performance has already outpaced ETF alternatives. He pointed to a 32% annualized increase in Solana per share over the past three months, after accounting for operating costs, compared to the roughly 6% growth provided by ETFs after fees. For him, the long-term bet rests on achieving one SPS by late 2028—a milestone he believes could generate substantial wealth for both executives and token holders willing to endure ensuing market volatility. Why Volatility Is Central To DFDV’s Long-Term Outlook White made it clear in his X post that volatility is not a threat to DFDV’s model but a necessary factor. He highlighted that between now and 2028, he expects maximum volatility to flood the Solana market. He described DFDV as a volatility reactor designed to convert extreme market swings into long-term shareholder value, insisting that the firm can generate gains in both upward and downward market conditions.

Hyperliquid’s native token, HYPE, is staging a surprisingly strong recovery just hours after the platform recorded one of the largest liquidation events in crypto history. Related Reading: 4 Bitcoin Indicators That Led To Market Rallies In The Last 2 Years Have Returned According to CoinGlass data, a massive $96.5 million BTC-USD perpetual contract liquidation hit Hyperliquid late Monday, part of a broader market washout that wiped out over 164,000 traders and triggered $814 million in total liquidations across exchanges. HYPE's price records some gains on the daily chart. Source: HYPEUSD on Tradingview Despite the carnage, Hyperliquid price has surged by 6% in the past 24 hours, climbing back above $41 on Tuesday and extending the rebound that began after defending the critical $36.51 support level last week. Whale Accumulation, Rising OI, and Strengthening On-Chain Metrics A wave of bullish catalysts is supporting the Hypeliquid price rebound. CryptoQuant data shows increasing whale activity, with large wallets steadily accumulating during recent dips. Exchange outflows have increased, active large addresses are expanding, and the average transaction size continues to rise. On the derivatives side, sentiment has clearly flipped. Coinglass reports that HYPE’s OI-weighted funding rate turned positive, hitting 0.026%, signaling that long traders are now paying shorts, an indication of bullish conviction. Open interest has also increased from $1.52B to $1.71B, indicating new capital entering the market and reinforcing upward momentum. Across pairs, HYPE is outperforming majors including BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB, with analysts noting strong higher-lows structures developing on multiple charts. This relative strength suggests capital rotation is leaning toward Hyperliquid even as the broader crypto market cools. Technical Structure Points Hyperliquid Price Breakout Target at $48–$54 From a technical standpoint, the Hyperliquid price is consolidating within a symmetrical triangle, with the price being squeezed between rising support and descending resistance. Each compression cycle has produced higher lows, evidence that buyers are quietly gaining control. Momentum indicators echo this shift. The RSI has climbed to 48 and is turning upward toward neutral territory, while MACD histogram bars are shrinking, indicating fading bearish pressure. If the Hyperliquid price breaks above the $40–$41 diagonal resistance, analysts see a clear path toward the $44.48 zone. A confirmed breakout from the symmetrical triangle could then open the door to mid-range targets at $48 and $54, aligning with predictions from multiple market analysts tracking the ongoing consolidation.

Bitcoin has officially slipped into dangerous territory after losing the $90,000 level for the first time since early spring, triggering widespread fear across the market. The drop has intensified concerns that BTC may be transitioning into a full bear market, as momentum weakens and buyers struggle to absorb the aggressive waves of sell pressure. Related Reading: Ethereum Approaches Historical Accumulation Level – Just 8% Away From LTH Cost Basis According to top analyst Darkfost, one of the driving forces behind the latest downturn is persistent selling from major institutional players. Data shows that Galaxy Digital has been offloading significant amounts of BTC. This steady stream of institutional selling has added weight to an already fragile market structure, likely accelerating last night’s drop. While sentiment is undeniably fearful, the combination of forced liquidations, institutional selling, and panic-driven exits may be creating the final stage of a broader reset — one that historically precedes major cycle reversals. Galaxy Digital’s Selling Accelerates Market Downside Darkfost reports that Galaxy Digital has been exceptionally active over the past several hours, adding considerable pressure to an already fragile Bitcoin market. According to the data, the firm moved more than 2,800 BTC, a sizeable amount given the current environment of fear and declining liquidity. A particularly notable portion of this activity is the 1,474 BTC transferred to Coinbase Prime, equivalent to roughly $135 million at recent prices. Such large inflows to an institutional exchange are typically interpreted as preparation to sell, and this wave of supply appears to have coincided with Bitcoin’s accelerated move below the $90,000 level. This type of selling activity from a major player like Galaxy Digital carries significant market implications. When large, sophisticated entities reduce exposure during a period of heightened volatility, it often intensifies fear among retail traders and shorter-term participants. The timing of these transfers — occurring as Bitcoin was already slipping through critical support zones — likely amplified the downside impact, contributing to the sharp overnight drop. However, while the immediate effect is clearly negative, analysts like Darkfost emphasize that such phases of heavy selling and forced repositioning are also characteristic of late-stage corrections. Once large sellers finish distributing, markets often stabilize and rebuild from stronger hands.

The rejection from the $110K–$115K zone triggered a cascade of lower highs, shifting market structure firmly into a short-term downtrend. Momentum has deteriorated quickly, and the clean break below both the 20-day (blue) and 50-day (green) moving averages confirms bearish control. Related Reading: Massive Bitcoin Bid Walls Spotted On Binance: Bulls Step In With 2,800 BTC Cluster Volume has spiked noticeably during the most recent candles, indicating forced selling and liquidation-driven moves rather than organic distribution. This aligns with the broader fear-driven environment and recent data showing large entities, including Galaxy Digital, offloading significant amounts of BTC. The high-volume flush suggests capitulation behavior, especially as Bitcoin revisits levels not tested since early 2025. If buyers defend this level and the price stabilizes, it could mark the beginning of a base formation. However, a clean breakdown below the 200 MA would expose the next major support near $82K–$85K, signaling deeper downside risk. Featured image from ChatGPT, chart from TradingView.com

A new pricing model from Diana, a crypto analyst on X, projects that XRP could climb into the $7–$24 range within 60 days of the ETF launch, driven strictly by inflow pressure and the asset’s constrained liquid supply. The model reportedly relies on supply-absorption math, revealing how ETF-driven demand could shift XRP’s market pricing once XRP ETFs go live. New XRP ETF Inflow Model Maps A Direct Route To $24 Diana’s newly released “XRP ETF Launch Impact Model” outlines a clear, data-driven view on how ETF inflows alone could reprice XRP. Her framework tests multiple launch scenarios involving five to twenty ETFs, each seeded with $10 million to $45 million. Depending on the scale, total inflows range from $50 million to $900 million, absorbing between 0.08% and 1.50% of XRP’s estimated 60-billion-unit liquid supply. Related Reading: Here’s Why The Ethereum Price Is Crashing Again, Can It Breach $3,000? According to Diana’s projections, this level of liquidity absorption pushes XRP into a thirty-day range of $3.00 to $15.00, with the sixty-day window stretching from $3.80 up to $24.00. The top end of the model—where XRP approaches $24—emerges when twenty ETFs launch with maximum seed capital and nearly a billion dollars in early inflows. Diana argues that as issuers acquire XRP to build underlying exposure, the available float tightens, and the resulting supply squeeze forces a natural repricing cycle. However, XRP’s real-time price action tells a different story. Despite the successful debut of the Canary XRP ETF, XRP has failed to respond positively. The latest market data shows the asset trading near $2.14, posting a 13.5% decline over the week. Even so, Diana maintains that early price weakness is typical during ETF rollout phases and believes the projected inflow dynamics still position XRP for a sharp upward revaluation once institutional allocations begin to materialize. The Market Structure Delaying XRP’s Next Major Rally In a separate post, Diana outlined the market pattern she believes has been driving XRP’s recent price behavior. According to her, traders typically buy ahead of an ETF launch to front-run expected demand, creating a pre-launch rally driven by speculation rather than institutional activity. Once the ETF goes live, those early buyers take profit, producing the sharp launch-day dip that often surprises retail investors. Related Reading: What Will Trigger The XRP 1,300% Break To $36 This Bull Cycle? Diana noted that institutional inflows never arrive on day one. Wealth managers move through compliance checks, committee approvals, and allocation cycles, meaning real capital enters the market weeks later. She pointed to Bitcoin’s January 2024 ETF rollout as the clearest example, where the asset fell at launch but later surged to new highs as regulated inflows matured. She argues that XRP is showing the same early-stage pattern now: a weak market following the Canary ETF launch, profit-taking, and a temporary cooling phase. When these delayed inflows eventually begin to accumulate, Diana maintains that they will reinforce an upward pricing dynamic for XRP’s next major climb.
