Solana in 2025: not just back but stronger
Solana is back in the spotlight. In 2025, this blockchain proves that it can be more than just a 'fast alternative to Ethereum'; it is a full-fledged technological platform on which real products are built — from decentralized exchanges to NFT marketplaces and mobile Web3 solutions.
What is happening with SOL right now?
• The price hovers around $150–160,
• Trading volume — $3.3 billion+,
• Market capitalization — about $80 billion,
• The volume of stablecoins in the network has increased to $13 billion (+156% over the year).
Why is Solana back at its peak?
• Speed and low fees. It is still one of the fastest and cheapest blockchains.
• The ecosystem is alive. DeFi, NFTs, new tokens, the launch of Firedancer — everything is in place.
• Potential ETF. Applications for a Solana ETF have been filed — this is another step towards institutional recognition.
• Inflation control. Updates in the network are aimed at significantly reducing the emission of SOL.
But there are risks as well.
• Institutional investors are still betting on Ethereum.
• Network activity sometimes relies too much on meme coins — this adds volatility.
