Saylor, while evaluating the overall picture in the crypto market, drew attention to the long-standing competition among assets such as Ethereum, Solana, and BNB. He noted that these projects have suffered a loss of “monetary premium” following hype cycles and liquidity explosions, and that many tokens are no longer considered money, with their survival entirely dependent on use value and competition among themselves.
