Investing in Solana means making two simultaneous bets: market growth and Solana’s share.
  • The core thesis is to back the overall expansion of the stable‑coin and tokenisation infrastructure market while also betting that Solana will win an increasing share of that pie.
  • By tying the two bets together, a successful macro trend automatically lifts Solana, and a Solana win amplifies the macro trend’s payoff.
  • This structure creates a leveraged upside: if both the market and Solana’s share double, the combined return is roughly four‑times the original capital.
  • Hougan treats the two bets as inseparable; he would not hold Solana without believing the macro markets will expand dramatically.
