Jakarta, Pintu News – The term “buy the dip” is often shouted when crypto prices plummet, but in practice it’s not that easy when the market is prolonged sluggish. As of February 18, Ethereum alone has dropped more than 34% in the last three months, with other smaller coins falling even further.

When fear reigns supreme, it’s hard to believe that prices will rise again, especially when crypto is a new asset whose recovery is not always certain. However, with clearer regulation and widespread adoption, quality projects-those with real utility, a strong developer community, and a solid track record-still have a great chance of succeeding in the long run.

Solana (SOL)

Although its price has dropped dramatically by around 35% in recent months, Solana (SOL) remains Ethereum’s (ETH) strongest competitor. Its potential is huge as it is backed by an active developer ecosystem and is gaining traction with giant financial institutions.

Some concrete examples of Solana adoption by large enterprises:

  • JPMorgan: Using Solana to issue securities tokens (USCP).
  • Visa: Selected the Solana network for interbank stablecoin transaction settlement services in the US.
  • BlackRock: Included Solana as one of the networks for their digital money market fund (BUIDL).

Why does Solana excel? The main reason is its incredible speed and very low transaction fees. Plus, system updates like Firedancer and Alpenglow promise a much more stable and faster network in the future.

Monero (XMR)

Monero (XMR) is a “privacy coin” that has two sides. Because the identity of its users is so secret, it is often misused for crimes, so many crypto exchanges are delisting it due to strict government rules.

However, Monero remains attractive because many companies need privacy for business transactions or employee salaries to be out of public view. Unlike Bitcoin, which is transparent, Monero offers complete confidentiality. Despite the challenges, Monero’s price soared nearly 125% in 2025.

Overall, before you decide to buy Solana or Monero, remember that both are high-risk assets. Since crypto market conditions are often volatile, make sure digital assets are only a small part of your overall investment portfolio to stay safe.
