Bybit Alpha Rides Solana Meme Coins Comeback With Rapid Listings

  • Bybit Alpha has matched market excitement since the latter week of 2025 with a faster listing speed, introducing six new meme tokens.
  • The total market value of Solana meme coins has increased from $5.1 billion at the beginning of the year to $6.7 billion.

A window of opportunity for adventurous, fun-loving traders in the meme coin space was announced by Bybit, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world by trading volume. Bybit Alpha’s recent listings, which come two weeks into 2026, highlight the notable resurgence of meme coins, with Solana serving as the main arena for this most recent round of speculation.

In contrast to the big storylines of mainstream crypto, the current meme coin boom celebrates irreverent humor and strong defiance, including lighthearted and provocative themes. Bybit Alpha has matched market excitement since the latter week of 2025 with a faster listing speed, introducing six new meme tokens—WHITEPEPE, TATA, testicle, HAPPY, B, and Buttcoin—between January 11 and 13, 2026 alone.

Market Momentum Being Dictated by Solana

Early in 2026, Solana’s meme industry showed impressive growth:

  • The total market value of Solana meme coins has increased from $5.1 billion at the beginning of the year to $6.7 billion.
  • Nearly the same time period, the sector’s daily trading volume increased from $850 million to nearly $2.57 billion.
  • The daily DEX trading volume on Pump.fun, which is now the second-largest DEX and meme coin launchpad on Solana, reached an all-time high of $2 billion.

Well-known meme tokens are also seeing significant comebacks; BONK has increased by more than 50%, while PENGU, WIF, and POPCAT are following suit.

With the recent announcement of their partnership ambitions, Solana and X also introduced “Smart Cashtags,” which allow for real-time on-chain asset viewing from inside the social media platform. This connection greatly increases meme coin exposure and engagement by giving users instant access to market data without the need for external navigation.

Bybit Alpha: Prepared for Solana Since 2025

Bybit Alpha’s early introduction into the Solana ecosystem has allowed it to quickly establish itself at the forefront of this trend. Bybit, Byreal, and Solana established a solid alliance in 2025, with Bybit Alpha leading the way in enabling trading and staking on Solana.

On little than three weeks, the platform has listed about 20 meme coins based on Solana. Notable performances consist of:

  • Token B: 62% increase in 24 hours after listing on January 12
  • White Whale: At the peak fully diluted valuation of $140 million, prices increased by more than 1,200% after listing.

Bybit Alpha is at the vanguard of this thriving comeback, connecting traders with the fastest-moving possibilities across the Solana ecosystem as the meme coin craze continues to captivate the cryptocurrency industry. Bybit Alpha continues to be the preferred location for the next wave of digital culture on-chain because of its strong liquidity, quick listings, and dedication to innovation.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
