Chinese AI to lead Solana (SOL)'s next rally?

▲ Solana (SOL)

A prediction has emerged that the spread of artificial intelligence (AI) in China and improvements in transaction processing speed could lead to Solana (SOL)'s next bull run.

Paul Barron, host of the cryptocurrency YouTube channel Paul Barron Network, focused on Solana's strategy to engage Chinese developers and its technological overhaul in a video uploaded on October 21 (local time). Barron reported that Alpenglow, a major Solana upgrade, was activated that day. Its goal is to reduce transaction finality time from the existing 6 seconds to 150 milliseconds. Barron stated that this represents a 40-fold improvement in speed.

The competitive advantage of China's AI industry was cited as its cost-effectiveness. Anthony Stephens, who appeared in the video, summarized DeepSeek's update as “cheap yet high-performing.” The analysis suggests that Chinese companies are focusing on efficiency rather than competing for peak performance. This strategy involves training and operating models without using top-tier computational resources.

Barron emphasized that contact with AI developers was crucial for Solana's expansion into China. He explained that tokens or cryptocurrencies could not be mentioned during local activities. Solana approached this by supporting AI developers. Barron introduced examples of Solana-related companies operating in China, suggesting the possibility that the combination of AI and blockchain in China could trigger a new cryptocurrency bull cycle.

Barron viewed the reduction in transaction finality time as particularly important in the payments sector. He highlighted Alpenglow's potential use, stating, “AI agents need that kind of speed.” He also pointed out that not all blockchains can keep up with increasing transaction demand and speed requirements. He added, “We are falling behind. Agents are coming, so we need to hurry,” urging performance improvements for each blockchain.
