The total value locked (TVL) on Solana rocketed from under $250 million in early 2023 to a whopping $6.8 billion on October 24, according to numbers from DefiLlama.
In fact, in July, Solana actually beat Ethereum in weekly total fees for the first time ever, making about $25 million in weekly profit compared to Ethereum’s $21 million. Solana’s growth has been boosted by loads of celebrities trading coins, mostly on Solana-based platforms like Pump.fun and Moonshot.
Next in the queue, after Bitcoin and ETH, SOL looks set to be included in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the US.
In more recent events, on October 21, Solana-based decentralized exchange Raydium beat the Ethereum network in terms of 24-hour profits. Raydium made $3.4 million in fee profits in a day, slightly more than Ethereum’s $3.35 million, according to info from DefiLlama.
The Ethereum network is still bouncing back from a major dip in profits after its March Dencun upgrade slashed transaction fees by about 95%. Ethereum is predicted to make up to $66 billion in annual free cash flow by 2030, according to VanEck’s head of digital asset research, Matthew Sigel.
