Solana Founder Embraces Competition, Calls for Focus on Product over Hype

Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of Solana (SOL), has responded to Ryan Watkins’ comments about Hyperliquid’s emerging rivalry. In a recent X post, Yakovenko acknowledges the competitive landscape of the crypto space and emphasizes that competition drives innovation in product development rather than hype. He believes that a focus on real-world user experience will be crucial for Solana’s success. 2025 U.S. equities market integration is cited as a prime example of the potential impact of this rivalry.
