Solana, Cardano, Hyperliquid, and Sui are emerging as top U.S.-backed crypto plays after Trump's pro-blockchain summit.
Hyperliquid and Sui stand out with zero gas fees and user-friendly design, reshaping DeFi for the mainstream market.
With U.S. innovation now a spotlight, these four blockchains could see accelerated adoption and long-term 1000x growth potential.
Cryptocurrencies organized by Donald Trump have given a boost of confidence to the blockchain sector in the U.S. At the event, participants discussed preparing regulations and structures that encourage innovation in digital assets in the American economy. Because of this, focus is shifting to blockchain networks that have U.S. links and suit the summit’s topics of scalability, security, and accessibility.
Solana(SOL): Gains Ground with Scalable DeFi Framework

Solana remains competitive in the process of DeFi adoption. By using a mixture of proof-of-stake and proof-of-history, the platform provides quick and safe processing of all transactions. Since it started in 2020, Solana is used for DApps and tries to lower the barriers for developers and users on the DeFi platform.
Solana Foundation, headquartered in Switzerland but led by U.S.-based engineers, continues to attract attention from both retail and institutional sectors. Its low-latency network performance and growing ecosystem of projects contribute to its relevance in the post-summit climate. The project has also seen increased developer activity, positioning itself as a viable blockchain for high-throughput financial applications.
Cardano(ADA): Advances Smart Contract Infrastructure

Cardano is a popular blockchain platform that is receiving more attention these days. Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson, who leads IOHK in the U.S., made Cardano known for its thorough research and attention to formal verification. Because Solana uses proof-of-stake, it saves energy and its layered design allows for safe and smooth smart contract deployment.
Alonzo was released in September 2021 which allowed programming for applications to be done on Cardano blockchain. The ADA token’s governance authority within Cardano encourages decision-making by the entire community. Cardano gets attention for its focus on self-governance and its use of modular technologies, following the summit’s main theme of giving developers freedom and control over technology.
Hyperliquid (HYPE): Builds High-Performance Perpetual Exchange

Hyperliquid represents a new generation of Layer 1 blockchains focused specifically on decentralized finance. The project has introduced HyperBFT, a custom-built consensus model designed for instant finality and secure transaction execution. Unlike many competitors, Hyperliquid hosts a fully on-chain order book, ensuring transparency and integrity across its decentralized exchange.
The platform’s key offering—perpetual futures trading—operates with zero gas fees, enhancing the efficiency of market interactions. Its U.S.-based development team includes alumni from top universities and fintech companies, signaling strong academic and professional credentials. As policymakers highlight the importance of domestic innovation, Hyperliquid's infrastructure aligns with calls for secure, high-performance trading systems built in the U.S.
Sui(SUI): Streamlines Blockchain for Mainstream Use

Sui offers a unique approach to blockchain data management and user interaction. Developed by Mysten Labs, a U.S. firm founded by former Meta engineers, Sui’s object-centric architecture and Move-based programming framework offer modularity and speed. The platform enables parallel transaction execution, which supports faster throughput and improved scalability.
Sui also integrates features like zkLogin and programmable transaction blocks to reduce onboarding friction and enhance user experience. They highlight the summit’s focus on making technology accessible and important to everyone. Sui’s infrastructure helps bring blockchain innovation to more people from all walks of life, as the Web3 community targets non-technical users.
