Digital assets investment firm Pantera Capital says a leading Ethereum (ETH) competitor has the highest chances of being economically sound.

Pantera Capital says Solana (SOL) is the “most commercially viable blockchain for global markets and payments.”

According to Pantera Capital, some of Solana’s strengths include affordability, scalability and the speed of processing transactions.

“Solana has taken a “monolithic” design approach, focused on creating a unified user experience and maximizing the capability of its core chain, similar to the design philosophy of Apple.

High-performance and low-cost, capable of 65,000 transactions per second at the base layer.”

To enable blockchain adoption by mainstream consumers, Pantera Capital says factors such as speed and affordability are critical.

“We believe we are at the early stages of blockchain adoption, with a more than 100x increase in blockchain activity ahead. For these mass-market applications, we believe Solana has the user experience edge.”

According to Pantera Capital, Solana has recorded more than 23 billion transactions year-to-date and boasts of 3.8 million daily average active wallets, a number higher than that of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum despite having a lower market cap. The transaction fees on the Solana blockchain are less than one cent per transaction.

Pantera Capital further says that Solana possesses massive upside potential amid an under-allocation in SOL by institutions.

“Institutions are currently under-allocated, holding less than 1% of the total SOL supply, compared to 7% ownership of ETH and 16% of BTC. With a Solana ETF approval expected as early as Q3/Q4 2025, we believe the SOL adoption story is just beginning and offers asymmetric upside potential.”

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders

The post Token Unlock Wave Highlights Supply Overhang for Traders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins 20 September 2025 | 04:17 Crypto traders are facing a steady drip of new supply this month, as project teams and early backers release fresh tokens into circulation. What looks like small percentages on paper is building into meaningful selling pressure across multiple ecosystems. Unlocks Becoming a Market Theme According to an analytics tracker, the past week alone saw millions of dollars’ worth of new coins enter the market from projects such as AltLayer, Blast, Avail, Venom, and Parti. AltLayer added roughly $3.5 million in tokens, while Blast introduced more than $2.3 million. In both cases, the amount represented less than 3% of circulating supply — yet the inflows still weighed heavily on trading sentiment. More Supply Ahead The trend is far from over. Another round of unlocks is scheduled for the week of September 22–28, with AltLayer once again leading the pack. By the time its next batch goes live, over 42% of its total supply will have been released. Other names, including KARRAT, XMW, and Yield Guild Games (YGG), will also add to the flow with their own token distributions. Unlocks matter because they create a constant overhang. Even if each release looks minor, stacked together week after week, they erode the balance between supply and demand. AltLayer’s back-to-back schedule makes this clear: the market isn’t just dealing with isolated events but with a pipeline of tokens waiting to be sold. Bigger Picture For traders, that means strategy has to adjust. Pricing these unlocks into positions becomes just as important as monitoring macro conditions or ETF inflows. While unlocks don’t guarantee downward pressure, the compounding effect is already a defining feature of September’s market — one that could shape trading dynamics well into the fourth quarter.
