The cryptocurrency market in 2026 looks more active than ever before.
But if you take a serious look, you'll find that this is not prosperity, but noise.
Fraud, infighting, blame-shifting, deleting posts, changing statements, one hot event after another is rapidly consuming the most important thing in the market—trust.
In such an environment, new projects have almost no opportunity to be 'patiently understood'.
Either they are overly hyped, or they are prematurely sentenced to death.
XPL happens to be in this awkward position.
It does not rely on celebrity endorsements, nor does it follow an emotionally driven route; it focuses on stablecoin settlement and payment infrastructure—things that are 'not sexy but necessary'.
Yet it happens to enter the public eye during the most anxious phase of the market, where everything is easily misinterpreted.
When price fluctuations occur, doubts follow;
When unlocking is discussed, speculation quickly amplifies.
But what is truly worth paying attention to has never been the daily ups and downs, but rather:
—— Is the mechanism clear?
—— Is the information transparent?
—— Can the project continue to operate without emotional support?
Perhaps the hardest hurdle for XPL is not technology or the market, but how to slowly prove itself in a crypto era where people 'no longer easily trust anyone'.
