Everyone, the market is starting to teach us again.

SOL fell below $120, and the network's popularity subsequently declined, causing many retail investors to become restless—anxiously cutting their losses. Interestingly, at the same time, a prominent wallet calmly increased its holdings by 41,000 SOL, equivalent to about $5 million in real money.

The history of this wallet is even more ironic: it bought low at $122 and sold high at $175, making over $1.28 million in just this segment. Now that the price has dropped, it has instead added more chips.

There is another detail worth pondering: the SOL spot ETF saw a net inflow of 11 million dollars during the entire decline. This is not a small move; it indicates that some institutions are secretly propping it up.

This performance is staged every time. When prices plummet, retail investors' eyes turn red, while whales calmly assess the valuations. Each round of major fluctuations is a critical window for chips to transfer from "weak hands" to "strong hands."

So the question arises: how can ordinary investors protect themselves in this game, and even leverage it to strengthen their portfolio?

Blindly following trends is clearly not a viable strategy. A wiser approach is to build an asset framework that allows for both offensive and defensive strategies. This means that in addition to allocating to volatile assets like SOL, a portion of the portfolio should be placed in stable assets that can withstand verification, serving as a ballast during market surges and crashes.

When mainstream coins like SOL are caught in a tug-of-war between bulls and bears, the role of stablecoins becomes apparent - they are the ones that don't follow the trend. One dollar is always worth one dollar, locked in by over-collateralization and on-chain real-time verification, unaffected by wild market sentiments. Whether SOL skyrockets or plummets, stable assets are the card you can use at any time to adjust your position, buy the dip, or escape.
