BNB Chain, Solana, and Avalanche have reported unprecedented network growth in the third quarter of 2025, fueled by heightened user activity and increased institutional participation. This surge has resulted in significant rises in Total Value Locked (TVL) and decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes across these networks. Avalanche, in particular, saw its TVL soar to $4.4 billion, largely due to substantial institutional investments. Technological advancements, such as Solana's block capacity expansion, have also played a crucial role in this growth. Experts have drawn parallels between the current trends and Solana's activity spike in 2021, highlighting similar levels of institutional and developer engagement.
