There has been no shortage of growth and volatility in 2024, as seen with the proliferation of the Bitcoin Spot ETFs, TradFi giants entering the tokenization space, and meme coins galore — including AI-powered coins, narrative-based projects, Politifi tokens representing former and current elected officials, and the explosion of animal tokens (see Dogwifhat coin). The meme coins generated chart-shaping interest in Solana as well as Ethereum Layer 2 (L2)’s for their reduced transaction costs, and CoinFlip Preferred has the tools and knowledge to place you in this exciting market.  

The CoinFlip Preferred OTC Desk primarily focuses on enabling our clients to access Bitcoin and Ethereum (ERC-20) assets, however, we recognize the benefits of supporting additional chains and their assets. On that note, CoinFlip Preferred will now be offering support for USDT on Solana. Enjoy low-fee, same-business-day settlement and support, but now with USDT on SOL. Whether you are looking to on-ramp into the Solana ecosystem to dabble in meme coins or off-ramp your profits into fiat, the CoinFlip Preferred team is ready to support.  

Some quick background on Solana to get you started. Solana is a layer 1 blockchain (the base layer of blockchain networks) like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Solana differentiates itself with its exceptional processing speed and low transaction costs. The Solana blockchain leverages a unique consensus mechanism known as Proof of History (PoH) alongside the established Proof of Stake (PoS) model that most are familiar with on Ethereum. Solana is very stout and can process tens of thousands of transactions per second, which is a big draw for meme coin projects looking to make a splash. Solana’s minimal fee structure makes it an attractive platform for both developers and users, promoting broader adoption and continuous innovation in the blockchain ecosystem. If you’re looking to get into meme coins and other narrative transactions, cost and speed are critical.  

How do you get started using Solana? First, you need a Solana compatible wallet, which generates a unique address, separate from Ethereum (ERC-20’s) and Bitcoin. Secondly, you’ll need some funding, which the CoinFlip Preferred desk can help with via USDT on SOL. From there you’re a SWAP transaction away from your coin or NFT of choice. Just like the Decentralized Exchange “DEX” options you see on Ethereum and Ethereum L2’s, you will find similar options on Solana. A couple of popular ones are Jupiter and Raydium. When you’re ready to start or exit, CoinFlip Preferred (877-339-6432) is here to help!
