Solana ($SOL ) is trading around $150 as of early May 2025, rebounding +7% on the week with rising volume. Glassnode data confirm the surge: “hot capital” inflows hit ~$9.46B (100% growth in 7 days), and on-chain activity is climbing (active addresses ~1.2M, +18% WoW; TVL ~$4.85B, +12%). Tech and news updates are fueling momentum: Solana’s dev team (Anza) announced a 2025 upgrade roadmap to double blockspace (from 48M to 50M compute units) and optimize performance via tweaks (better scheduling, block propagation, faster hashing), and the new Firedancer validator (a high-speed client) is in t. High-profile partnerships are lining up, too – e.g. Franklin Templeton ($1.3T AUM) is launching a SOL mutual fund and Societe Generale Forge is issuing an EU-pegged stablecoin on Solana (with Citi integration teased). These developments, plus SOL’s fast, low-fee chain and booming NFT/DeFi ecosystem, have analysts bullish (some now eye ~$380 by end-2025). No wonder SOL is in focus – what do you think?
