An interesting question: Are leading exchanges focusing their efforts on ecosystem development as a core growth strategy, or is it a defensive move to counter external competition? Which priority is higher?

Since the SOL ecosystem, mainstream project teams, X social platform, and others have achieved deep integration, the attitude of some top platforms has noticeably shifted outward. From competition and confrontation to ecological coexistence — everyone is a friend, friends of friends are also friends, enemies' enemies are friends, almost everyone can become a potential partner.

The external philosophy is very clear: harmony is precious.

But what about internally?

Basically, it's just being forced. When SOL isn't so strong anymore, they'll turn their back.

Basically, it's just a passive response triggered by SOL's surge. Why pretend to take the initiative?

In short, it's still because of fear of the SOL ecosystem, now everyone just wants to band together for warmth. --- The real internal situation—who the hell dares to say it publicly? Uh-uh. --- Peaceful coexistence? Ha, that's just a disguised way of saying "I can't beat you, so let's team up." --- It feels like exchanges are now operating under duress; all ecosystem development is being forced out. --- Good question, but I bet five bucks the answer is: both are important, but defensive strategies take higher priority. --- Internally, that's a different script, everyone knows it well. --- The term "partner" sounds nice, but actually they're just afraid of being pushed out.

Basically, we've been a bit overwhelmed by the SOL ecosystem, and now we're starting to learn to show weakness. --- Internally, we've long been ruthless; externally, we're all brothers. I've seen this combo move too many times. --- Ecosystem construction? That's a joke. Ultimately, it's just fear of being squeezed out. This is a forced compromise. --- Rather than true integration, it's more like being forced to huddle together for warmth. If someone had a real advantage, who would care about your philosophy? --- One side advocates harmony, while internally conducting a major purge. This is what you call a tug-of-war. --- So, the core fear is still there—fear of being surpassed, fear of losing influence. Everything else is just packaging words.

On-chain data is clear at a glance. Claims that ecosystem development is just a cover-up are nonsense; at the core, it's just about fearing SOL will eat up market share—it's a defensive strategy. Internally? Ha, isn't it obvious that the internal competition has become a mess? "Ecological integration" sounds nice, but in reality, no one wants to be the first to be eliminated.
