RIVER has recently underperformed, with obvious pressure on the market. Observing on-chain data, large funds continue to flow out, and there are no clear signals of a bottoming out, which provides many opportunities for short-term traders. Shorting at the current position is indeed profitable, generally allowing for a profit margin of over $5, and many investors have gained in this wave. Friends holding long positions need to exercise caution and set stop-losses promptly; otherwise, the risk will increase. If you are unsure about the market rhythm, it’s advisable to observe the trends of leading tokens like SOL and XRP, as they often provide clues about the market direction.

I have been thinking about a phenomenon lately—why do some infrastructure projects work tirelessly behind the scenes with little attention, while others can go viral just through marketing? APRO is a good case to discuss this. When it comes to oracles, many people's first reaction is "Hmm, sounds boring." But actually? Almost no project in the crypto ecosystem can bypass it. I initially paid attention to APRO not because the team boasts loudly or has grand plans, but because it actually runs a "Oracle as a Service" system on Solana. You all know how strict Solana is about speed and reliability—being able to operate stably in such an environment already speaks volumes. Honestly, the feeling I get from the APRO project is that it’s solid—it's built for developers, not for hype. On Solana, application projects basically have two paths: either thrive or die due to data delays and inaccurate results. Think about it—if price updates lag or results don’t come out, user trust instantly evaporates, and the project is finished. APRO daring to enter this space shows they’ve really identified the pain points. They didn’t force developers to adapt to stiff oracle frameworks but instead provided a ready-made service layer—plug and play, perfectly solving the problem. Take prediction markets, for example—many projects’ issues aren’t about lacking users but about slow settlement and easily disputed results. At this point, an oracle that can deliver timely and accurate data can become a turning point for the entire ecosystem.
