Spurred on by popular demand Robinhood has finally made its way into the staking arena, currently providing its US-based users with Ethereum and Solana staking. This decision comes at the same time that exciting spikes in price and interest are continuing for each cryptocurrency. Solana, for its part, has demonstrated stunning developmental momentum and has recently punched above all important resistances. At the same time, Ethereum has broken above $3,000 ushering in a new, bullish era. This news comes as the entire crypto space has seen a resurgence of interest and activity.

Robinhood's Staking Initiative

Ethereum and Solana staking are features that Robinhood has chosen to roll out. The opposite is true—users can now receive rewards by committing their crypto assets to long-term storage! Unlike other staking platforms, users can get started staking with just $1. First, the staking reward rate is dynamic, largely dictated by market forces. At the time of publication, the calculated reward rate is 133%. Robinhood’s latest move is set to attract even more users to its platform. It would provide an additional legitimizing factor for staking as an ever-more popular investment strategy.

Solana's Development and Market Momentum

Solana has gone through tremendous development ecosystem growth, highlighting a period of development independence.

"We're getting to an inflection point with the Solana developer community...Devs are not getting stuck at the basics...Nearly 2x'd monthly active devs in 6 months...Senior devs are building new primitives...All the ingredients for an explosion of new activity" - Jacob Creech

Now, Solana has recently broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern. Today, it’s holding solidly at that elevated plateau, proving its mettle in the marketplace. Average daily returns are rising, and its price has recently breached the $161 resistance zone. Solana’s booming utility and adoption are best exemplified through its integration with more than 60 chains on Best Wallet.

>Joining the Solana ecosystem is Snorter, a Solana-themed meme coin with an aardvark mascot. Snorter powers a Telegram bot to assist users in finding high-potential Solana-based meme coins and automating investments. According to experts like Jacob Crypto Bury, Snorter has the potential to increase tremendously in value right after its launch.

Ethereum's Bullish Signals

Ethereum has officially crossed the $3,000 resistance level, marking the beginning of what could be a bullish new phase.

"$ETH The move up on the shorter timeframes was objectively impulsive (bullish w/ real time data). #ETH is still looking to shoot for new ATH's this cycle and should end around $9,000-$10,000, give or take." - XForceGlobal

Ethereum staking has recently launched in the US on Robinhood. This much-needed accessibility for US-based users should result in more staking activity that helps continue to secure and further stabilize the Ethereum network.

Altcoin Developments

Beyond just Solana and Ethereum, there are a number of other altcoins making exciting progress. Best Wallet Token includes its own token launchpad, giving new and exciting projects a chance to make their debut. To encourage more participants to stake and secure the network, Token6900 has reserved 5% of its total supply for staking rewards. Bitcoin Hyper recently launched the first version of its devnet, showcasing advancement along its development roadmap.
