Solana on-chain and derivatives data highlight the limitations of SOL’s potential price breakout
Solana saw two positive developments this week with the launch of the Saga Android-based smartphone powered by Solana blockchain and the retail trading debut of Grayscale’s Solana Trust shares.

The need for real, viable data in AI
Artificial intelligence (AI) is undeniably a hot technology at the moment, with the industry projected to be worth $22.6 billion by 2025. Over the past year, everyday people saw AI-generated images and filters across social media as well as Open AI’s tools, ChatGPT and DALL-E, explode seemingly overnight.
