The recent performance of AI-themed tokens in the Solana ecosystem has been impressive, with a noticeable acceleration. Last night, a well-known AI anime concept coin experienced a surge after gaining attention from major influencers, followed by a gentle upward trend in several other AI small coins like SOL, MIA, and more.

From a macro perspective, the $15 billion funding round that a16z invested in the crypto and AI sectors sent a strong signal — institutional capital is actively entering this cross-sector track. Combined with current market sentiment and capital flow trends, the probability of a new AI seasonal rally is indeed increasing.

Thanks to its high throughput and low-cost features, Solana naturally becomes a breeding ground for AI applications and meme tokens. If this trend truly kicks off, the SOL ecosystem's AI sector could become the next growth hotspot.

Based on these observations, I have increased my SOL holdings in preparation for the possible second wave of the AI boom. After all, capturing key nodes in the cycle often makes the difference in returns.

SOL-0,99%

Is this really the arrival of the AI season? Feels like I say this every time. a16z investing 15 billion definitely shows ambition, but market reactions are pretty quick whenever big news like this comes out... it’s already gone through a round of hype. The SOL ecosystem is moving fast, those slow on the draw will be left behind again. Will this time’s entry be another high-position bag-holder? But I do believe in the long-term potential of the AI track. Meme coins are still the same; when big influencers hype them, they rise, and when they cool off, they crash—playing a game of heartbeat.

ngl the anime coin pump screams classic inefficiency vector... a16z's capital deployment is real but honestly? most retail won't parse the arbitrage surface here. solana's throughput advantage is priced in already imo

Smiling and laughing until I cried, as soon as a16z makes a move, I knew it was time to cut. --- When big influencers promote AI coins, they skyrocket. I've seen this script a hundred times. --- Institutional layout = retail investors taking the bait. Anyone a bit smart should understand that. --- Is the SOL ecosystem about to take off again? My wallet still hasn't recovered. --- Increasing holdings in SOL is like betting on probabilities. I've been betting on probabilities until now, only stubbornness remains. --- A $15 billion signal is so strong. Why does my account signal keep getting weaker? --- Meme coin incubation ground, translating to a money-making pipeline for cutting leeks. --- Focusing on key nodes sounds simple, but brothers who buy the dip into shanzhai coins think the same way. --- The second wave of AI is coming. I haven't even gotten on board with the first wave. --- Gentle upward trend? That term is really used gently.

Hmm... institutions are really taking action, no wonder SOL has been a bit restless these past two days.

ngl the throughput advantage on sol is real, but we've seen this movie before... remember when everyone said eth scaling would be "the thing"? 👀 let's see if the machines actually build something or if it's just another liquidity grab

Here comes the same rhetoric again, claiming this wave is a critical point every time. Should we rush to buy SOL now or wait and see? Does z16z investing 15 billion mean they can make money? Not necessarily. This wave of anime coins surging, just trying to follow the trend, be careful of getting trapped. The SOL ecosystem is indeed growing fast, but who knows where the next hot spot will be? After hearing you talk about AI season so many times, why haven't you made any money? Still the same advice, risk is on your own, everyone.

Is this another reason to cut the leeks? SOL this wave can really go up, I’m about to eat my screen a16z investing money ≠ you can make money, brother MIA was still falling yesterday, what are you talking about Institutional layout is for positioning, retail investors are just taking the bait, don’t get it mixed up Feels like another wave of liquidation and then it’s over

Here we go again. I'm also excited about this AI season; I've been prepared for a while.
