Solana is deeply integrating with the X platform, reshaping the entry point for on-chain asset interactions. The real underlying issue is: after mainstream social media directly connect with public blockchain functions, how much remaining appeal do traditional exchange wallets and trading interfaces have?

Once users can complete token trading, wallet operations, and asset management on social platforms, the impact on the exchange ecosystem is evident. This is not just a competition of product features but a battle for user time and trading habits.

Major exchanges are undoubtedly re-evaluating their strategies—how to maintain competitiveness through deeper integration with the public blockchain ecosystem, better UX design, and stronger differentiated services. The outcome of this market transformation ultimately depends on who can control the traffic and pricing power of the next-generation crypto assets.

Exchanges still want to monopolize, they should have been challenged long ago. Social trading is the future, and Solana's move this time has won.

Exchanges are really in trouble this time. The Solana+X combination is quite something. --- Honestly, the integration of X was bound to happen sooner or later. Whoever can change user habits will win. --- Why panic about CEXs? Just differentiate your services; it's the same old story. --- Traffic pricing power... sounds like a good story, but can the CEX crowd really compete with social media? --- The key isn't in the features but in who can first deliver a great user experience. --- Solana's recent surge is impressive, but it feels like just hype again. --- The crisis for exchanges is an opportunity. Watch who reacts quickly. --- Deep integration sounds impressive, but how does it actually work in practice? --- This is truly a battle for traffic. The wallet direction is about to change. --- Waiting to see how CEXs will fight back. It should be very interesting.

Really, the integration of X with Solana... Exchanges might really be panicking this time. But to be honest, user habits don't change that quickly. --- Social platforms competing with exchanges? Ha, it still depends on who has better security. --- Changing traffic entry points, this has never been truly settled in the crypto world... Just watch. --- Solana riding the hype of X, but the advantages built up over so many years of the exchange ecosystem? Think too much. --- The core still comes down to security and liquidity. If these two are handled, social media will have been eliminated long ago. --- Interesting, but truly replacing exchanges? The road is still long. --- This logic was being discussed three years ago, and what happened? People are still doing their own thing. --- The focus isn't on the entry point, but on who has lower fees and faster speeds. --- X has really got it figured out; the pattern in the crypto world has indeed changed, but don't take things too absolutely. --- At the end of the day, liquidity decides everything. How many major whales are actually using social software?

The fact that exchanges are truly panicking this time, social platforms can handle trading, who still bothers with wallets? X integrating Solana is basically about grabbing traffic; the crypto world always follows this pattern. But on the other hand, can social platforms be trusted for security? We still need professional exchanges. Wait, isn't this something that should have happened long ago? I just want to know when it will really be usable. In an era where traffic is king, centralized exchanges, no matter how powerful, can't withstand this wave of impact. That's right, user experience on social media is indeed smoother, but who bears the risk? I'm curious to see how major exchanges will respond next; this competition must be intense. The issue of pricing power has been fought over for so long; it seems it will ultimately come back to the traffic pool.
