Why bet on PYTH in the Solana ecosystem for the long term
Pyth Network has become the reference oracle within Solana and much of the multichain ecosystem. It protects over 5.5 billion dollars in assets and offers prices for cryptocurrencies, stocks, currencies, ETFs, and commodities to more than 160 protocols across over 50 blockchains. In some months, transactions from the Pyth oracle have come to represent around 20% of all activity on Solana, a clear signal of real use and dependence from DeFi.
The main difference of Pyth compared to other oracles is that it works with first-party data. Instead of collecting prices from public aggregators, it directly integrates information from large market makers, financial institutions, and leading protocols like Jane Street, CTC, or Raydium, which publish their quotes directly on Solana and Pythnet. This model allows for more accurate, low-latency, and manipulation-resistant prices, which is critical for derivatives, lending platforms, and high-performance trading protocols.
About Solana technology, Pyth has deployed a pull-type oracle that reduces costs for users and allows price updates when dApps need them, maintaining very low fees even for high-frequency data. Thanks to this architecture, Pyth can easily scale to new chains compatible with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and to solutions like Eclipse, which multiplies its reach beyond Solana without sacrificing its speed.
The project is also making a leap into the institutional world. In 2025, the United States Department of Commerce chose Pyth to publish official macroeconomic data — such as GDP — on the blockchain, opening a new era of transparency and automation for monetary policy and financial markets. Following this announcement, the transaction volume of protocols powered by Pyth exceeded $2.3 trillion in the first half of the year, and the token reacted with spikes of 70% in 24 hours, reflecting market interest in government-validated data infrastructure.
At the tokenomics level, PYTH is designed to capture the value of network growth through staking for oracle integrity (OIS) and governance, where holders can secure price feeds and decide the evolution of the protocol in exchange for rewards in the token itself. Various analyses position PYTH as a form of “low-medium” exposure to the Solana ecosystem, with upside potential if it continues to expand DeFi integrations, stock feeds (750+ as of today), and institutional collaborations.
