Over the past year, the performance of ETH and its ecosystem has been underwhelming, with the ETH/BTC ratio down by 30% year-to-date. However, it's important to note that BTC has faced a monthly-level correction after hitting resistance at $100,000, while Solana's DEX volumes have seen a significant decline. These shifts suggest that capital is starting to flow back into the ETH ecosystem, with whales quietly accumulating assets over the past year. Several promising projects within the ETH ecosystem and on EVM chains are worth highlighting.
As the regulatory landscape for DeFi and cryptocurrencies in the United States becomes clearer, top-performing DeFi projects with strong profitability are poised to give their tokens genuine value.

The Solana ecosystem has shown remarkable performance this year. The 24-hour trading volume on Solana's DEXs frequently surpasses that of Ethereum, and the SOL/ETH exchange rate has steadily risen.

With the support from Bitget, BGSOL currently offers the highest APR among SOL-based LSTs.
