In today's cryptocurrency world, mastering the creation and use of Web3 on-chain wallets, understanding how to buy popular on-chain tokens, and having some on-chain data analysis capabilities have become key ways to seize money-making opportunities.

As Bybit Co-Founder and CEO Ben Zhou stated in a post on Platform X, "Last weekend, all CEXs saw a large amount of SOL and USDC flowing out to go on-chain to buy TRUMP. Moonshoot + Meteora/Jupiter created over 30 billion TRUMP meme coins in less than 10 hours and did not rely on any CEX. We are accelerating the development and promotion of on-chain wallets, monitoring tools, etc. If we do not join this revolution, we will be left behind."

Today, Blockworks' data analyst Dan Smith pointed out in a post on Platform X that Solana's decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume hit a historic high, with a daily trading volume of 33.6 billion USD. Specifically, the trading volume of the Trump Family token was 9.6 billion USD, the SOL-USD trading pair volume was 10.4 billion USD, and the stablecoin exchange volume was 0.85 billion USD. This data fully reflects the vibrancy of the Solana ecosystem and the high level of user participation in decentralized platforms.

Meanwhile, according to Lookonchain monitoring, in the past 7 days, the total amount of stablecoins (USDT and USDC) on Solana has increased by 3.13 billion USD, showing the market's continued optimism towards the Solana ecosystem.

Beginner's Guide | How to Create an On-chain Wallet, Withdraw Coins, and Buy Coins?

Given the high demand for tutorials from newcomers, Odaily Planet Daily will use SOL as an example (also where most wealth opportunities occur):

For "veterans" familiar with centralized exchanges—demonstrating how to withdraw funds on an exchange and explaining how to complete transfers through cross-chain methods when SOL withdrawals are suspended;

For pure newcomers outside the crypto circle—introducing the creation and use of Web3 wallets, how to buy on-chain projects, and recommended common on-chain tools.

Owning an On-Chain Wallet is a Prerequisite

Unlike centralized exchanges, users participating in on-chain cryptocurrency trading need to have a dedicated on-chain wallet. For "on-chain newbies," this is the first step to entering the crypto market. Currently, the Phantom Wallet and OKX Web3 Wallet are the two most common on-chain wallets, especially Phantom, whose ranking in the U.S. iOS App Store surpasses Coinbase, demonstrating its wide popularity. Since most newbie users primarily trade through mobile devices, the following will show detailed steps on how to create an on-chain wallet on a mobile device (similar steps can be followed on a computer).

Phantom Wallet Creation

STEP 1. Download the Phantom App from the corresponding app store on your phone, then click the software, click "Create New Wallet," and select "Seed Phrase Wallet."

STEP 2. Save the seed phrase, preferably handwritten, as this is the only way to recover your wallet. Do not tell it to strangers.

STEP 3. Obtain your wallet address.

OKX Web3 Wallet Creation

STEP 1. Enter the "OKEx" App, click at the top to switch to "Web3 Wallet," then click "Create Wallet."

STEP 2. Click "Manual Backup" to record the seed phrase.

STEP 3. Obtain your wallet address.

(Odaily Planet Daily Reminder: The seed phrase is very important, so make sure to keep it safe.)

Exchange Withdrawal to On-Chain Wallet

Withdrawing SOL from Exchange to On-Chain Wallet

Go to a centralized exchange (using OKEx Exchange as an example), select "Withdraw," then choose "Withdrawal," select the SOL token, enter your wallet address (some currencies, like USDT, have multiple chain versions, so be sure to check the correct network when withdrawing).

How to Obtain SOL through Cross-chain Transfer when Withdrawals are Paused

For most users looking to purchase popular tokens in the Solana ecosystem, the typical process involves first buying SOL on a centralized exchange and then withdrawing it to their on-chain wallet. However, during events like the "Trump Couple Token Airdrop," a surge in users withdrawing SOL can lead to delays in withdrawals or even a pause in withdrawals. At this point, knowing how to perform cross-chain transfers becomes crucial to ensure timely purchase of high-demand tokens. The specific steps are as follows:

Cross-chain Website: https://portalbridge.com/usdc-bridge/

STEP 1. Withdraw USDC from a centralized exchange to the Avalanche, Arbitrum, or Optimism chain.

STEP 2. Using the aforementioned cross-chain website, transfer USDC from the Avalanche chain to the Solana chain (Avalanche chain is recommended due to general transaction confirmation times on Ethereum layer 2 solutions, which can take significant time during congestion, sometimes over half an hour).

STEP 3. Once you have successfully transferred USDC to the Solana chain, you can swap it for SOL (Demo: https://raydium.io/swap/).

How to Purchase Popular On-chain Tokens

Direct Purchase on a DEX

As of January 19th, according to DeFiLlama data, Raydium's 24-hour trading volume has surpassed that of Tether, ranking first. Raydium's 24-hour trading volume is $25.24 million, while Tether's is $17.65 million. It is evident that most purchases of tokens on the Solana ecosystem occur on the Raydium platform, with its official link being: https://raydium.io/swap/. Connect your wallet and select the desired token to proceed with the transaction.

On one hand, when a project's trading activity is high, relying solely on Raydium may not always result in smooth and timely buy/sell operations. On the other hand, since newly launched on-chain projects lack fundamental analysis basis due to their recent listing, investors can only assess their trends by observing factors such as token distribution, smart money inflow, and potential project manipulation. Investing blindly in meme coins carries high risks, but by mastering basic on-chain analysis techniques, one can significantly increase their success rate. Therefore, to better engage in on-chain trading and profit from it, it is recommended to use GMGN for transactions.

Using On-Chain Tool GMGN

GMGN is a website that combines a Meme Coin data dashboard with a trading tool. To use GMGN, visit the official GMGN site, connect your wallet, enter the token contract address you want to buy in the search bar, and input the amount of the token you wish to purchase (or sell) on the right side of the interface.

The above is just a simple introduction to the GMGN operating interface. For more GMGN operating tutorials, please refer to the following two articles:

On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.

Scaling Crypto Derivatives: The Digital Asset Infrastructure Behind High-Volume Trading

In the fast-moving digital asset ecosystem, derivatives platforms face an extreme architectural test. High-leverage futures markets demand more than just standard security—they require absolute operational precision, zero-latency matching engines, and ironclad structural scalability, all while navigating intense market volatility.

As global platforms scale to meet these demands, the industry is shifting away from rigid, monolithic setups toward a more agile, "decoupled" infrastructure philosophy.

The Blueprint for High-Volume Copy Trading

For elite global exchanges like WEEX (founded in 2018), this architectural choice becomes critical when scaling high-volume retail features like social copy trading. When thousands of users automatically mirror the real-time strategies of elite traders simultaneously, it triggers sudden, monumental spikes in concurrent transactional volume.

To prevent execution latency or settlement bottlenecks during these peak volatility events, a platform's primary engine must remain entirely dedicated to risk management, copy-trade synchronization, and order matching.

The Architectural Rule: New-generation platforms must separate front-end user execution engines from heavy backend infrastructural overhead to eliminate operational friction.

By separating these layers, platforms can maintain complete sovereignty over their trading environments and user experiences while strategically aligning with institutional-grade infrastructure ecosystems. This strategic framework allows modern exchanges to leverage advanced Digital Asset Custody infrastructure such as Cobo’s behind the scenes, ensuring that backend wallet management scales elastically alongside trading spikes.

Capitalizing on Market Momentum and 400× Leverage

In a derivatives arena where platforms offer up to 400× leverage on perpetual contracts, capital efficiency and market agility are core business metrics. To capture market momentum, an exchange needs the ability to rapidly expand its asset offerings, supporting everything from legacy crypto assets to sudden, trending altcoins across a massive library of trading pairs.

Adopting a flexible, scalable Wallet-as-a-Service (WaaS) solution such as Cobo’s could completely rewrite the development timeline for high-growth exchanges. Instead of spending months of engineering capital building out custom backend wallet architectures for every new blockchain network, platforms can deploy localized infrastructure in days.

This agility allows platforms to instantly scale their listings to over a thousand trading pairs without compromising security or delaying time-to-market. It mirrors the exact operational advantages seen during high-velocity market events, similar to how advanced wallet infrastructure empowers platforms during sudden asset surges; allowing exchanges to pass that speed and liquidity directly to their global user base.

A Mature Foundation for Growth

The synergy between trusted infrastructure ecosystems and global trading platforms represents the natural evolution of a maturing crypto market. As WEEX continues to scale its global spot and derivatives offerings for over 6 million users, adopting robust backend paradigms proves that platforms no longer have to compromise between cutting-edge trading velocity and uncompromised structural security.
