Shrimp Bro has summarized the Solana core bullish news for December

1. Revolut natively integrates Solana
65 million users can directly use SOL/USDC/USDT for payments, transfers, withdrawals, and one-click staking, truly bringing Solana into daily finance.

2. Vanguard (with $11 trillion AUM) lifts the ban on SOL ETF, 50 million clients can trade
VanEck SOL ETF is custodied by Gemini, compliant + 1:1 backing
SOL ETF has seen 19 consecutive days of net inflows, with a single-day high of $13.55 million in December (the only positive net inflow in the entire market)
SkyBridge founder: In the next 5 years, only 3-4 public chains will remain, and Solana will definitely be among them

3. Major technical upgrades

v1.18 is live, congestion has eased significantly
Alpenglow consensus is under testing, aiming for finality of 150-400ms (close to centralized exchange levels)
Over 30,000 monthly active developers, 1,276 full-time, firmly ranking second among public chains

4. Cross-chain and RWA boom
Base×Solana bridge (Chainlink CCIP) is now on mainnet
RWA, prediction markets, and DeFi projects are taking off collectively (Solend, Jupiter, Orca, DFlow, etc.)

5. Anatoly’s latest statement (December 5)
“Crypto’s total market cap will continue to rise, but will be redistributed based on revenue—only the winners will survive.” — A nakedly “winner-takes-all” declaration

Price brief: Currently near W-bottom neckline (≈$170), HODLer selling has nearly dried up, NUPL has entered the capitulation zone (a historic bottom signal). Continuous ETF inflows provide a solid floor; a breakout is imminent. If resisted, support is at $128~$137. Mainstream outlook remains bullish.
