Whole-wheat toast with nut or seed butter, banana and cinnamon. A slice of whole-wheat toast with your choice of something like peanut, almond or sunflower seed butter topped with slices of banana and a sprinkling of cinnamon is a great pre-workout snack. It gives you simple and complex carbs, is easy to digest, increases your potassium levels (which drop when you sweat) and stabilizes your blood sugar.
Apple slices and yogurt peanut butter dip. Mix nonfat vanilla Greek yogurt with peanut or almond butter to make a dip that’s perfect for apple slices. Consider adding grapes or raisins for an extra kick of energy.
Heart-healthy cereal. Pour yourself a serving of whole-grain cereal mixed with uncooked oatmeal, slivered almonds and chopped dates. Add low-fat milk or almond milk and you’re good to go.
Half of a lean protein sandwich on whole-wheat bread. Make yourself a sandwich with chicken, turkey or lean roast beef on whole-wheat bread for a great mix of carbs and protein. Veggies like lettuce, tomato or spinach will add nutrients.
Smoothie. The best thing about smoothies is that they’re portable and easy to customize. Blend sliced fruit, Greek yogurt and some granola or oats for a thicker consistency, and consider add-ins like protein powder, kale or peanut butter.
Solana (SOL) is up 20% over the past seven days, supported by strong technical indicators and rising on-chain activity. Its Ichimoku Cloud and BBTrend charts both point to bullish momentum, with trend strength and volatility on the rise.
At the same time, Solana is reclaiming the top spot in DEX volume and dominating protocol fee rankings across major DeFi apps. With a recent golden cross on the EMA lines, SOL now looks set to test key resistance levels if momentum holds.
Solana Indicators Paint A Bullish Picture
Solana Ichimoku Cloud chart shows a clear bullish structure, with price trading above both the Tenkan-sen and Kijun-sen. This alignment indicates strong short- and medium-term momentum, with buyers maintaining control.
The Kumo ahead is green and steadily expanding, which supports the continuation of the current uptrend. The distance between the price and the cloud also gives the trend some room before any potential weakness sets in.
The Chikou Span is positioned above the cloud and candles, confirming bullish confirmation from past price action. As long as Solana stays above the Kijun-sen and the cloud remains supportive, the trend bias remains upward.
Solana’s BBTrend is currently at 16.89, showing a strong increase from 1.88 two days ago, though slightly down from 17.54 yesterday. This sharp rise indicates that volatility and trend strength have recently expanded significantly.
The BBTrend, or Bollinger Band Trend indicator, measures the strength of a trend based on how far price moves away from its average range. Readings above 10 generally signal a strong trend in motion, while lower values reflect a range-bound or weak market.
With SOL’s BBTrend holding near elevated levels, it suggests the asset is still in a strong trending phase. If it remains high or rises again, it could support further upward movement—but a steady decline might hint at a slowing trend or consolidation ahead.
SOL Volumes and Apps Are On The Rise
Solana is firmly reestablishing its dominance in the decentralized exchange (DEX) space, pulling ahead of Ethereum and BNB in daily volume.
Over the past 24 hours, Solana recorded $2.5 billion in DEX activity, marking a 14% increase over the last seven days. That growth outpaces Base’s 10% and contrasts sharply with the declines seen on Ethereum (-3%) and BNB (-9%).
Beyond trading volume, Solana is also leading in protocol revenue generation. Among the top eight non-stablecoin protocols ranked by fees, five are directly built on Solana: Pump, Axiom, Jupiter, Jito, and Meteora.
Pump stands out in particular, generating $2.73 million in fees in just the past 24 hours and $15 million across the past week.
Can Solana Break Above $150 In The Next Weeks?
Solana’s EMA lines recently formed a golden cross, a bullish signal that often marks the start of a new uptrend.
This crossover suggests momentum is shifting in favor of buyers, with the potential for Solana price to soon test key resistance levels.
If the current trend holds, Solana could challenge resistance around the $136 zone. A breakout there may open the path toward higher levels such as $147, $160, and even $180 if bullish pressure intensifies.
However, if momentum fades, Solana may face a pullback toward the $124 support zone. A break below that could trigger deeper downside moves, potentially revisiting $112 or even $95 if selling pressure accelerates.
With Binance listings often driven by hype, volume, and community support, three altcoins stand out as strong contenders for May: Housecoin (HOUSE), UXLINK, and AERO.
HOUSE is gaining traction across Solana and trending on X (formerly Twitter), while UXLINK led Binance’s last community vote despite not being selected. AERO remains the dominant DEX on Base, backed by strong ecosystem growth and rising DeFi volume. All three show strong fundamentals, growing visibility, and momentum that could align with a potential Binance listing this month.
The token is also trending on X (formerly Twitter), which could boost its chances of getting listed on major exchanges. HOUSE is down nearly 9% in the past 24 hours, but rising social engagement may help sustain interest.
Historically, exchanges list meme coins that capture attention and volume quickly. From DOGE to BONK, visibility often drives early listings. In under three months, Housecoin has climbed to become the 72nd largest token in Solana.
HOUSE could follow the same path as other breakout meme coins if the momentum continues. It’s already tapping into the massive real estate narrative, one of the most popular asset classes globally.
UXLINK
UXLINK is a Web3 social platform and infrastructure project that claims to have over 54 million users. It’s positioned as one of the most active tokens in the Arbitrum ecosystem.
In recent months, UXLINK has consistently trended within the Arbitrum space. It received the most votes in Binance’s latest community listing batch, though it wasn’t selected in the final round.
Since peaking in mid-March, the token has been down around 30%, struggling to regain strong upward momentum. Still, it’s up 3.7% in the last 24 hours, with volume surging 200% to $75.8 million—a sign of renewed interest.
Despite being passed over in the last round, its top vote count suggests strong community backing. That support could boost its chances of being in a future Binance listing, especially if volume and engagement stay high.
Aerodrome Finance (AERO)
AERO remains the leading DEX on the Base blockchain, holding its position even as apps like ZORA gain popularity. It continues to play a central role in Base’s DeFi activity and user growth.
With Content Coins still trying to build traction and Base’s weekly DEX volume up 22% to over $5 billion, AERO is well-positioned to benefit from the ecosystem’s expansion. As Base grows, AERO is likely to strengthen its dominance.
AERO has been up nearly 60% over the past 30 days, although it has dipped by 4.5% in the last 24 hours. It currently ranks as the 4th largest coin by market cap among those listed in Binance Alpha.
If momentum holds through May, AERO could push back toward the $1 mark, representing a potential 44% upside from current levels.
In 2025, AI agents became the newest obsession for crypto market participants. They were integrated into decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, infrastructure, and even DAO governance, touted as the next evolution of Web3 intelligence.
With this in mind, BeInCrypto contacted OORT CEO Dr. Max Li for his perspective on whether these autonomous, machine-learning-driven software acting on behalf of users could reshape crypto. Li had some interesting insights, but warned that real-world adoption, security, and regulation are the biggest hurdles ahead.
The AI Agent Gold Rush: Disruption or Distraction?
Data from the AI Agents Directory indicates an average monthly increase of 33% in the number of AI agents.
However, despite the growing interest, Web3-based artificial intelligence solutions still account for a minimal fraction (3%) of the overall AI agent ecosystem.
According to Dr. Max Li, founder and CEO of decentralized cloud network OORT, the space is moving faster than its infrastructure can handle, pointing to models like ElizaOS (formerly ai16z).
Yet, in his opinion, the broader playing field is not ready. He says the core infrastructure, from decentralized storage to tokenized agent marketplaces, is still under construction.
The Real Bottleneck? Security, Not Speed
While scalability is often seen as crypto’s weakness, Max Li says security and compliance are bigger threats. This is especially true when tokenizing AI outputs like computing, decision-making, or real-time data.
Dr. Li added that tokenized AI raises difficult questions. Who owns the data that the agents generate? How can decentralized systems comply with global data laws like GDPR? And what happens when AI agents interact with sensitive personal or financial information on-chain?
“These may already be more significant barriers than scalability,” Dr. Li warned.
The OORT executive emphasized that without clear custodianship or compliance frameworks, the risks extend beyond crypto to regulators, investors, and end-users.
Enterprise Adoption Isn’t Coming Anytime Soon
The industry often claims AI agents will bring real-world industries on-chain. However, Dr. Li says it is still a fantasy, particularly in the public blockchain.
He explained that while enterprises like Walmart could benefit from AI for internal operations, there is little incentive to tokenize those agents. Traditional firms want efficiency and control, not decentralized tokens wrapped around their core systems.
“Most enterprises would prefer to keep that data within their own secured servers rather than exposing it on a public, decentralized network,” he said.
While private chains may offer a bridge, Max Li says the idea of tokenized agents powering real-world logistics or finance is, for now, a crypto-native dream.
A Market Fueled by Hype
AI agent tokens have exploded in 2025. Riding the momentum of both AI and crypto, they have attracted massive capital inflows. However, Dr. Li parallels the dot-com bubble, concluding that while innovation is real, the market is overheated.
Based on this, he does not believe the current rally is sustainable: “It’s fair to say there’s a bubble forming here.”
This sentiment echoes Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who recently warned that most AI token projects launch too early.
“Too many AI agent developers focus too much on their token and not enough on the agent’s usefulness. I recommend making a really good agent first,” wrote CZ in a post.
Zhao argued that only a tiny fraction of AI agents, say 0.05%, actually need tokens at this stage. Similarly, Hitesh Malviya, an analyst and popular figure on X, recently echoed this sentiment in a post.
“If you look outside the crypto echo chamber, you’ll find that we do have a solid ecosystem of free and better AI agents—and they don’t have tokens, nor might they ever need one. So, what we’re trading in the name of agents is nothing but memes—a value we created out of thin air, like we always do,” Hitesh observed.
Regulatory Turbulence Ahead
Perhaps the most underappreciated risk in the AI agent boom is regulation. The intersection of open AI systems, tokenized data, and borderless blockchains is a minefield for compliance.
Dr. Li warned of contradictions yet to be resolved: How can decentralized AI be transparent and private? Who is liable when agents act autonomously but cause financial losses?
“In the short term, regulatory intervention will likely create additional hurdles for innovation,” he concluded.
This is especially true where there is no global consensus. Until jurisdictions align on KYC (know-your-customer), AML (anti-money laundering) laws, and data governance, institutional adoption will remain cautious, if not frozen.
While the rise of AI agents is real, their integration into tokenized crypto ecosystems is still a high-risk, high-ambiguity frontier. Infrastructure remains fragile. Legal frameworks are missing, and real-world adoption is still speculative at best.
Dr. Max Li’s view is clear: crypto must shift its focus from hype to functionality—from token-first to agent-first design.
Only then will the next leap in AI-powered decentralization become more than just a market cycle.
