Solana’s long-term investment value is promising due to its robust fundamentals: high throughput (2,400+ TPS), low fees ($0.00026), and a growing ecosystem with $12.5B in stablecoins and 81% of DEX transactions. TVL has surged, with 350% growth in some metrics, and institutional holdings rose 200% in 2024. Despite past outages, scalability and developer activity (1.2M+ active addresses) bolster its outlook. Risks include volatility and competition, but SOL’s $68B market cap and ETF potential signal strong growth.
