An article recently highlighted three crypto picks for long-term holding. For Bitcoin, the main thesis is that institutional adoption is still growing. The author notes that the new Strategic Bitcoin Reserve provides solid backing in Washington. They suggest Solana as a contrarian play against Ethereum. Solana is already overtaking ETH in decentralized exchange volume because the network is faster and cheaper to use. Finally, Chainlink is mentioned for its cross-chain protocol. It is positioned to benefit from the tokenization of real-world assets, like moving traditional stocks and bonds onto blockchain networks.
