Whenever the market is in a downturn, someone always pulls out the "devil's price" from 2022 and asks—Can SOL fall back to $8? This question seems like a psychological shadow left by the bear market, surfacing in the community every now and then.

But upon closer reflection, the situation is actually different now. $8 is not just a normal technical correction; it was the "death sentence" handed to the Solana ecosystem by the market after the FTX collapse—full of extreme panic and irrationality. To reproduce such an extreme low price, it would require more than just a bear market; it would mean the entire public chain ecosystem is completely bankrupt or Solana itself exposes a fatal vulnerability. Honestly, the probabilities of these scenarios are as small as they can be.

Interestingly, while the traditional world debates endlessly over the stability of energy, food, and monetary policies, the crypto world is quietly building the foundation for "stability" as well. Solana is strengthening network stability through technological upgrades, and the entire industry is exploring stable asset solutions that do not rely on external environments. This is why decentralized stablecoins like USDD are becoming increasingly important.

They establish a "value benchmark" within the system through blockchain-native over-collateralization mechanisms. For investors, this means having a relatively reliable hedging tool amid market volatility—price stability, transparent logic, and no reliance on traditional financial institutions' backing. This kind of stability is exactly what the market truly needs.
