Bitcoin will never fall below $60K again: Nansen founder

Crypto is finally shaking off the “get rich quick” reputation that has defined the industry for more than a decade according to Nansen founder and CEO Alex Svanevik — and it’s not just because nobody’s getting rich right now.

“Crypto assets have kind of been like the ‘toy world’ era of blockchains. And now we’re moving into the real-world era, where you see tokenized stocks, you see people trading indices like the S&P 500 and Hyperliquid,” Svanevik tells Magazine on the Trade Secrets show.

“I think the interesting spot that blockchains are in right now is that they are basically giving a lot of room for non-crypto assets,” Svanevik says.

There are a couple of blockchains that Svanevik is particularly bullish on. While Hyperliquid has captured a lot of attention in the industry recently, Svanevik says Solana is still one of the strongest long-term blockchain ecosystems despite its reputation as the home of meme coins.

Industry has a ‘ridiculous’ misconception about Solana

“There’s been this view that Solana is just for meme coins, which I think is completely ridiculous,” Svanevik says, arguing that there is a lot more to the blockchain, given the “incredible team” behind it.

“Maybe the most effective BD team, if we think broadly, behind that chain; they really are here to win,” Svanevik says.
