The crypto world is buzzing again, and this time it's all about Solana's push into what some are calling the "Internet Capital Markets" era. In a recent thread on X (formerly Twitter), the Meteorite Collective gave a shoutout to key players driving this movement, highlighting how open-source tech is fueling innovation and bringing more people on-chain.

It started with a post from journalist Kate Irwin, who shared her latest piece on ICMrun—a new crypto incubator that's all about empowering "degens" (that's crypto slang for high-risk, high-reward traders who thrive on volatility). Irwin expressed excitement about who's building in public with this platform, and Meteorite Collective jumped in to amplify the message.

Meteorite Collective, powered by MeteoraAG, praised figures like @0xSoju and @realdezen for open-sourcing Meteora's launchpad technology. Launchpads, for the uninitiated, are platforms that help new tokens get off the ground, often with community-driven funding and hype. By making this tech freely available, they've sparked a wave of creative tools across Solana, turning it into a hub for retail-driven crypto experiments.

The thread positions ICMrun, led by @7VoMercy, as a key pillar in this broader "Internet Capital Markets" (ICM) movement. Alongside holders of ICM Investor Cult NFTs, they're building a community-focused ecosystem. Meteorite Collective also nodded to their own role and that of @GreenCultDotFun in championing this shift.

At its core, the message is clear: Solana is leading the charge in democratizing finance on-chain. "Our mission: Internet Capital Markets. Bring the world on-chain," the post declares. It's a rallying cry for builders, traders, and enthusiasts to join forces in reshaping how capital flows in the digital age.

This isn't just tech talk—it's about creating formidable networks that blend social trading, content creation, and community building. If you're into meme tokens or the wild side of blockchain, keep an eye on Solana's ICM scene. Projects like these could be the launchpad for the next big thing.
