According to @AltcoinDaily, CNBC reports that Walmart will accept Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other crypto for in-store payments, shared via a video post on X on Jan 4, 2026 (source: @AltcoinDaily on X). Walmart’s scale could make the move material for on-chain and off-chain payment flows, as the company reported roughly 10,900 stores and $648 billion in FY2024 revenue (source: Walmart FY2024 Annual Report). Traders should first seek direct confirmation from CNBC’s report and Walmart Investor Relations, then monitor BTC and ETH spot volumes, spreads, and funding on major exchanges if confirmed (source: @AltcoinDaily on X citing CNBC; Walmart Investor Relations; Binance and Coinbase public market data). Historically, corporate retail adoption headlines have coincided with short-term crypto volatility and liquidity spikes, exemplified by market reactions around PayPal’s 2020 crypto rollout announcement (source: PayPal Newsroom, Oct 21, 2020).

According to AltcoinGordon on Twitter, Solana is expected to achieve global recognition and surpass other blockchains in retail user adoption. AltcoinGordon emphasizes the inevitability of Solana reaching the $1000 price level, underscoring strong bullish sentiment and widespread retail interest. This perspective reinforces Solana's position as a leading Layer 1 blockchain for trading and investment, and highlights its potential to drive significant trading volume in the crypto market.
