$SOL Definitely shorting!


A big influencer posted a tweet exclaiming that the annualized yield on SOL staking has recently skyrocketed to an absurd 212%, reaching as high as 554% at its peak and lasting for two days. Such extremely abnormal high returns are often not good news, but rather indicate that a large amount of capital is rushing to withdraw and run—staked SOL is being redeemed and sold off, leaving fewer participants to share the gains, which passively pushes the annualized rate higher. On-chain data has already turned completely red alert, so I directly went all-in with a $400k short position!

1. Smart money and institutions are fleeing. Goldman Sachs has already liquidated all its Solana ETF holdings in Q1, totaling about $108 million. DEX weekly trading volume has halved from approximately $25 billion in January to $11 billion, and the funding rate for SOL perpetual contracts has also fallen into negative territory, with bears taking the lead for the first time. The core blood-creating function of the ecosystem is weakening.
2. Regulatory bombs hang overhead. Elizabeth Warren has just submitted an amendment to the CLARITY Act, attempting to remove the “grandfather clause.” If passed, tokens like SOL could be reclassified as “securities.” At that point, all spot ETFs will be forced to liquidate, and Wall Street funds will retreat completely.
3. Price continues to decline, and all rebounds are traps. SOL has retraced from $98, with daily highs constantly decreasing, and each rebound is suppressed by massive sell orders. Currently around $85, buy-side depth is extremely thin, and once it breaks down, the area below $80 is a complete vacuum zone.

$400k short position locked in, waiting for the staking withdrawal wave to trigger this bottomless plunge!
