Solana News Today: Investors Shift Focus from ADA to Real-World PayFi Innovation

Cardano (ADA) has shown signs of price fatigue in recent market cycles, with prominent analyst Dan Gambardello outlining a strategic approach for managing risk and profit-taking. Gambardello, a long-term supporter of Cardano, has emphasized the importance of setting clear exit points based on a proprietary "risk score" that gauges market volatility and momentum. According to his framework, a score of 75 historically has signaled a major turning point for ADA, with previous bull cycles seeing the token reach this level before reversing trend. Gambardello has noted that Cardano is currently at a risk score of 36, which he classifies as a “moderate buy,” but warns that a rapid jump to higher risk levels is possible. In prior cycles, ADA surged from 34 to 76 in just weeks, coinciding with a price rally from $0.09 to nearly $0.59. Investors are advised to prepare for such a move by setting exit plans in advance, particularly as the token approaches the $1 to $3 range, which Gambardello identifies as an ideal window for locking in profits for long-term holders [1].

While Cardano struggles to break out of a consolidation phase, PayFi-focused project Remittix (RTX) has gained significant traction across social channels and trader watchlists. The token, priced at $0.1000 during its presale, has attracted attention for its real-world utility, particularly in cross-border payments. With a market capitalization far below that of major altcoins like Solana and Ripple, Remittix has managed to raise over $23 million through its presale, selling 637 million tokens. The project has also secured listings on BitMart and LBank, with a beta wallet launch scheduled for Q3 2025. This wallet will enable instant crypto-to-bank transfers across 30 countries, supporting over 40 cryptocurrencies and 30 fiat currencies. The strategic rollout reflects a focus on adoption and practical use, which distinguishes it from projects driven by speculation [2].

Investor sentiment has begun shifting toward Remittix, particularly among holders of Solana and XRP. Solana is currently trading near $200, with analysts noting that while institutional inflows have provided support, the asset may face downward pressure in the absence of new catalysts. Meanwhile, XRP is hovering near $2.80 to $2.90, with some forecasts suggesting a potential dip toward $2.50. Despite these developments, both Solana and XRP investors are increasingly looking to Remittix for opportunities grounded in utility and tangible progress. The project’s growing presale support, combined with its community-focused initiatives such as a $250,000 giveaway, has generated momentum. Unlike traditional blockchain projects that rely on speculative hype, Remittix has focused on solving real-world challenges in global payments, including low-cost, fast cross-border transactions [3].

The project’s deflationary tokenomics and CertiK security audits have further bolstered investor confidence. Remittix aims to capture a portion of the $19 trillion global payments market by offering a practical solution that merges crypto-to-bank functionality with regulatory compliance. The beta wallet, expected to launch in the third quarter, represents a critical step in the project’s roadmap, with the potential to accelerate adoption among both crypto natives and traditional users. Analysts have highlighted that the success of Remittix will depend on its ability to scale its infrastructure while maintaining security and usability. The project’s early performance suggests that it is well-positioned to meet these challenges, particularly given the current momentum and growing interest from traders seeking real utility [3].

In contrast, Cardano faces a more uncertain outlook, with Gambardello cautioning that the token may struggle to maintain momentum once it reaches a risk score of 75. Historical data indicates that ADA has typically seen a reversal in trend after hitting this level, even during strong bull cycles. While some analysts have speculated that the token could break above its 2021 high of $3.10, Gambardello has emphasized the importance of a structured exit strategy for investors. The broader market remains cautious, with Ethereum also near a risk score of 49 and showing signs of potential volatility. As the market continues to evolve, investors are increasingly prioritizing projects with clear utility and sustainable growth models, a trend that favors Remittix’s PayFi focus over speculative altcoin strategies [1].
