Just checked Solana’s metrics, and at its current price of $150.43, it looks like it’s out of “10x non-consensus” alpha and into beta territory. Still, its thriving ecosystem and institutional support make it a top public blockchain for capturing beta value.

Strengths: With a TVL of $8.54B and 24h DEX volume of $2.58B (June 17, 2025), Solana thrives in AI, RWA, MEMECOIN, and DePIN. ~3.5m daily active addresses show robust chain-wide engagement Solana Compass. 2,500+ devs, 700K TPS, and fees < $0.0025/tx drive growth. Stablecoin market cap hits $10.809B. VanEck & Franklin Templeton hold 200K+ SOL, with ETF talks ongoing FXLeaders.

Risks: 4.5% inflation Solana Compass, 472.99K SOL ($71.18M) unlocking July 7, 2025 , and centralization concerns may weigh,but utility > decentralization in 2025’s market. Chain fees ($1.13M) and app fees ($16.51M) highlight activity but also volatility.

Solana presents a compelling case for a high-performance blockchain. Its active ecosystem, significant development, and growing institutional interest underscore its position. However, factors such as inflation, token unlocks, and centralization concerns warrant continued observation for a comprehensive understanding of its long-term trajectory.
