Solana has a bunch of strong catalysts cooking imo: - SEC has recently approved a new regulatory framework and the filing by asset 21Shares to custody the first U.S. spot SOL ETF. - Full release of Firedancer validator client (successfully achieved over 1 million TPS in testing) is expected in 2025. - Alpenglow consensus upgrade (block finality of 100-150ms) hitting mainnet in early 2026. - Continued ecosystem and infra innovation incl. @jito_sol's BAM, @doublezero's global fiber network, etc. - Network extensions like @bulletxyz_ (perp DEX appchain L2) or @Arcium (MPC-based confidential compute network) nearing mainnet (among others). - Promising app layer launches on @solana L1 are loading, incl. Luminaries (memes), @meleemarkets (prediction markets) or @bulktrade (perp DEX) - SVM developer count and mindshare are rising amid continued ecosystem growth also through SVM-based (app)chains like @fogo or @atlasxyz Fundamentally, this might best bet among majors rn (aside HYPE).
