Solana has emerged as the leading blockchain in 2025, capturing 26.79% of global blockchain traffic, significantly outpacing competitors like Base and Ethereum. This surge is attributed to genuine on-chain activity, with Solana's fast and cost-effective transactions attracting developers and users alike. The network's adoption is further driven by its applications in NFTs, DeFi, payments, and social apps. Institutional interest in Solana is also on the rise, with Solana ETFs and ETPs amassing over $900 million in assets, particularly in the US and Europe. In a strategic move to expand its presence in Latin America, Valour, a subsidiary of DeFi Technologies, plans to launch the VSOL product in Brazil, potentially broadening Solana's market reach.
