SOL rose from $20 in early 2023 to highs of over $250 in 2025. A market value of over $100 billion placed it in the top 3-5 by market value. Daily transaction volume on Solana sometimes exceeded Ethereum in Layer 1.
The plant ecosystem
Jupiter (DEX aggregator) has become the most active DeFi protocol on Solana. Marinade and Jito offer Liquid Staking. Tensor and Magic Eden lead the NFT market. Pump.fun has become the most influential Memecoin tool.
