The full transition of Ethereum to Proof of Stake fundamentally changes ETH’s supply dynamics. With staking locking a significant portion of circulating ETH, liquid supply in the market decreases, which can support price appreciation if demand remains stable or increases. At the same time, the issuance rate drops compared to the old Proof of Work system, and combined with fee burning, ETH can even become net deflationary under high network usage.

In highly volatile markets, stablecoins often serve as a capital preservation tool rather than a return-seeking asset. Investors may temporarily rotate profits from volatile cryptocurrencies into stablecoins to avoid drawdowns while maintaining on-chain liquidity, allowing them to re-enter risk assets quickly when market conditions stabilize.

One perspective is that Solana’s high throughput and low transaction costs make it structurally well-suited for real-time metaverse applications. Virtual worlds require frequent micro-interactions such as movement, asset transfers, crafting, and social actions, which are impractical on slower or more expensive chains. Solana’s performance enables these interactions to feel closer to Web2 standards, which is critical for user retention. From an investment angle, this positions Solana as infrastructure rather than a single-theme bet, benefiting if metaverse usage scales.
