0xSun: I've already buy the dips in ANSEM and NEST, and I believe Solana will remain the engine of this round of on-chain price increases.
According to Odaily Odaily, trader 0xSun stated that he has purchased ANSEM and NEST at market values of approximately $280 million and $6 million respectively, in order to participate in the current on-chain market volatility. He believes that the on-chain market performance driven by blknoiz06 was active in this round, with strong Meme coins appearing in Solana, BNB Chain, and Robinhood Chain. However, the overall rotation was extremely fast. Except for ANSEM, which continued to rise for more than a week, most of the other leading chains peaked overnight. 0xSun stated that ANSEM has already corrected by over 40% from its peak, and given Ansem's continued activity and the fact that approximately 60% of its tokens remain uncirculated, a rebound is highly probable. NEST, on the other hand, is a riskier and more volatile asset, with its short-term price movement still primarily driven by market sentiment. They also believe that for investors with smaller capital, the crypto market remains a more suitable market for high-risk, high-reward plays.
