What is everyone missing about Solana?
“I invested all our savings in memecoins.”
vs.
“I invested in a fast‑growing asset class with the goal of building a better future.”
Two sentences. The same story.
But… a completely different reaction from your fiancée.
🔑 The takeaway? The way you frame an investment matters.
And that’s exactly where Solana is losing a bit of the spotlight – right now it lacks a clear “narrative.”
But that can be an opportunity, not a problem.
While the crypto market chases the next big trend, Solana keeps its head down and works – with real usage, rising app revenues, and a developer boom.
Activity and volume 🏃♂️
On the surface it may seem that interest in Solana has dropped compared to last year.
But behind the scenes things look different:
The number of transactions and total trading volume are growing year over year.
Yes, these metrics can be manipulated (anyone can make 100,000 fake transactions for $50). But there’s one indicator that’s much harder to fake…
Stablecoin supply.
If an ecosystem has real activity, demand for stablecoins (used in DeFi, payments, games, etc.) is high.
And for Solana that demand is steady right now.

App revenues 💰
Don’t be misled by the spikes caused by the $TRUMP token at the end of 2024 and start of 2025.
The real trend is clear:
App revenues on the Solana network are almost double compared to Q2 2024.
Versus Q2 2023 – growth is over 460×.
(yes, you read that right)
Developers and ecosystem 🧑💻
The more developers, the more products.
The more products, the more users.
It’s that simple (at least in theory).
And what do the data show?
Solana developers (and Solana Virtual Machine projects) have increased by ~35% over the past two years.
By comparison: developers on Ethereum and EVM‑based networks have fallen by 9–13%.
📈 Even without a clear “narrative,” $SOL is currently outperforming all top‑5 tokens by market cap (excluding stablecoins) over the last 7 days.
Okay, but let’s be realistic…
Solana isn’t perfect. There’s still room for improvement:
BlackRock ETF – Yes, there is an ETF for Solana. But we all know the real “party” starts when BlackRock officially steps in.
A new leading sector – Memecoins are fun… but if we want institutional money, we need something more serious: be it decentralized finance, real business use cases, or new infrastructure.
Solana doesn’t shine with marketing, but it delivers.
And often that’s what matters in the long run.
