The cryptocurrency market has been going through an incredible process of growth and change in recent years. New projects and platforms are constantly being released, while existing players continue to evolve and innovate. In this dynamic environment, some platforms stand out while others lag behind. Recently, a new Layer-1 blockchain platform called Aptos has started to gain a lot of attention in the cryptocurrency world. Aptos is positioned as a rival to Solana (SOL), and some experts predict that Aptos may become the second largest Layer-1 platform in the near future, surpassing Solana. In this article, we will examine the advantages Aptos offers over Solana and discuss Hayes’ prediction for Aptos to surpass Solana in more detail.
Arthur Hayes announced the altcoin that will surpass Solana (SOL)
Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX, one of the closely followed names in the cryptocurrency market, shared his views on the future of the cryptocurrency market and the projects that may come to the fore. Hayes predicted that Dogecoin ETFs, as well as Aptos, will pose serious competition to Solana in the near future. In an interview with Coin Bureau, Hayes stated that Aptos is likely to surpass Solana by becoming the second largest Layer 1 blockchain platform within the next one to three years. He stated that he would announce the details of his forecast by September 2024.
Aptos, like Solana, is a Layer-1 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) blockchain that uses the smart contract programming language Move. Aptos aims to drive mainstream adoption of Web3 and strengthen the ecosystem of decentralized applications (dApps) to solve real-world problems.
There were also comments about meme coins.
Hayes also said that popular meme coins are here to stay in the cryptocurrency market, calling them “the luxury brands of the cryptocurrency market.” Since Dogecoin is the oldest meme coin and is available on popular platforms like Robinhood, Hayes also stated that a Dogecoin ETF could come at the end of this market cycle. However, he added that other meme coins circulating in the market may lack cultural value in the long term.
Hayes also brought up the rising hacking incidents, saying that one of the biggest risks the cryptocurrency market will face in the next two to three years is the hacking of a major crypto custody service. The BitMEX founder believes that $50 billion to $100 billion in crypto assets could be lost in such an event, marking the end of the current market cycle.
It is unknown how long it will take for Aptos to surpass Solana, but Hayes’ prediction caused excitement in the cryptocurrency market. There have been rumors before that Solana could surpass Ethereum in the future. Time will tell whether these predictions will come true, but the dynamic structure of the cryptocurrency market proves that new players can always appear on the scene.
