$SOL
1. Technology Position and Ecosystem
Solana continues to solidify its position as the "Ethereum Killer" thanks to its outstanding advantages in performance:
Speed and Cost: Solana processes from 2,000 to 4,000 transactions per second (TPS) (theoretically up to 50,000) with extremely low fees (around $0.0002), far surpassing Ethereum at the base layer.
Memecoin & DeFi Appeal: This ecosystem has become a "paradise" for memecoins (like BONK, WIF) and leading DeFi platforms like Jupiter (JUP) or Raydium (RAY), helping to maintain a massive liquidity pool and a stable daily active user base.
Network Expansion: As of the end of 2025, the network has recorded more than 2,500 active developers and the explosion of new sectors such as SocialFi and GameFi.
2. Prospects and Price Predictions (2025 - 2030)
The price of SOL has experienced significant volatility in 2025, reaching a new historical peak (ATH) of $294.33 in January 2025.
3. Drivers of Potential
Financial Institution Participation: The addition of $6 billion in USDC stablecoin on the Solana network by Circle and the potential approval of Solana ETFs in the future is the "spark" for significant capital influx.
Infrastructure Upgrades: Continuous network upgrades help improve stability, minimizing network congestion, which was a previous weakness.
Gradually Decreasing Inflation: The inflation rate of SOL is steadily decreasing (currently around 4.5%) combined with a burning mechanism of 50% of transaction fees helping to increase scarcity value.
