Solana’s long-term investment value is robust, underpinned by its high scalability and thriving DeFi ecosystem, which align well with the potential surge in GameFi and art NFTs. Solana processes up to 65,000 transactions per second (TPS) with average fees of $0.00025, making it a top choice for developers building high-throughput dApps. Its total value locked (TVL) in DeFi has surged, with 81% of decentralized exchange (DEX) transactions occurring on Solana in 2024, reflecting strong ecosystem adoption. In January 2025, Solana’s real economic value hit $552 million, with app revenue at $517 million, driven by DeFi and speculative trading.
