Once a paradise for memecoins, Solana (SOL) is proving its potential far beyond "cat coins" – by conquering Wall Street. With superior transaction speeds and extremely low costs, this blockchain is becoming the top choice for traditional financial institutions, from Apollo Global Management to BlackRock.
1. A Turning Point from Memecoins to Tokenized Assets
The golden age of memecoins is over: By early 2025, Solana recorded over 70,000 memecoins launching daily, pushing prices $SOL up by 20%. By May, this number halved after scandals like the coin of former President Trump.
Solana is transforming: Instead of relying on memecoins, the ecosystem focuses on tokenizing traditional assets – a sector booming with capital from financial "giants."
Typical example:
Apollo Global Management (managing $785 billion) launched a $1.5 billion tokenized credit fund on Solana.
SkyBridge Capital of Anthony Scaramucci invested $50 million in the SOL fund in Canada.
2. Speed – Competitive Advantage Over Ethereum
Solana is leveraging technology to attract institutions:
4,000 transactions/second, average fee $0.005 (100 times lower than $ETH ).
Headquartered in New York (Skyline): Unlike the anonymous culture of DeFi, Solana Labs actively connects directly with partners like Franklin Templeton, BlackRock.
"This technology can do more than memecoins – I call it the billion-dollar scale" – Jean Herelle, CrunchDAO.
3. Challenge on the "Bankify" Road
Despite optimism, Solana still faces skepticism:
The "gambling" bias: John Nahas (Avalanche) comments: "Solana is trying to turn gambling into banking."
Competing with Ethereum: Although SOL increased by 640% in 2 years (compared to ETH +45%), Ethereum still dominates 65% of the DeFi market share.
Positive signals:
In March 2025, the Solana Policy Institute was established in Washington to lobby.
SOL was included in 2 Invesco ETF funds, demonstrating recognition from the traditional sector.
4. The Future: Tokenization is the Key
Analysts say:
Memecoins are just a stepping stone: Solana needs to focus on tokenized credit, RWA (real-world assets) to retain institutions.
"The door is open – we are ready to break through" – Christine Moy, Apollo.
