Solana is a high-performance blockchain that aims to provide fast, scalable, and low-cost transactions. Solana uses a novel consensus mechanism called Proof of History, which allows Solana network to process thousands of transactions per second. Solana has attracted a lot of attention from developers and users, especially in the fields of decentralized finance (DeFi) and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

Recently, Solana announced a partnership with Shopify, the leading e-commerce platform, to enable USDC payments via Solana Pay integration. This could boost the adoption and demand for Solana's native token, SOL, which has already surged more than 10,000% since the beginning of the year. Binance is the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and liquidity.

Binance offers a wide range of services, including spot trading, futures trading, margin trading, staking, lending, and more. Binance also operates its own blockchain, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), which supports smart contracts and hosts many popular DeFi and NFT projects. However, Binance has also faced some regulatory hurdles in several countries, such as the UK, Japan, Canada, and Singapore.

Most recently, Mastercard terminated its partnership with Binance to issue crypto cards in Europe. This could affect Binance's ability to expand its user base and market share in the region. Bitgert is a new entrant in the crypto space, often referred as Solana killer.

Bitgert aims to revolutionize the way people trade and invest in digital assets. Bitgert is launching a peer-to-peer (P2P) exchange that will allow users to trade any asset with any other asset, without intermediaries or fees. Bitgert's P2P exchange will be powered by its native token, Bitgert (BRISE),
