Solana's Soaring Success: 2025 Annual Review Highlights Record-Breaking Growth
Solana (SOL), a prominent blockchain in the cryptocurrency sector, has unveiled its 2025 annual review, showcasing unprecedented growth across several key metrics. The report highlights new all-time highs in areas like daily active wallets, decentralized exchange (DEX) volume, and application revenue, solidifying Solana's position as a rapidly expanding ecosystem.
Explosive Revenue and Network Performance
The review reveals that applications built on the Solana blockchain generated a remarkable $2.39 billion in revenue, marking a 46% year-over-year increase and establishing a new all-time high (ATH). Seven applications, including Pumpfun, individually surpassed the $100 million revenue threshold in 2025, while smaller applications collectively contributed over $500 million. Beyond revenue, Solana's network performance indicators are equally impressive. The blockchain achieved $1.4 billion in revenue for the network itself, demonstrating a 48-fold increase over two years. Non-vote transactions surged to a new ATH of 33 billion, up 28% year-over-year, with an average of 1,054 non-vote transactions per second (TPS). Unique active wallets averaged 3.2 million daily, representing a 50% year-over-year increase, and 725 million new wallets joined the ecosystem.
Asset Management and DEX Volumes Reach New Heights
Solana's stablecoin supply concluded the year at $14.8 billion, more than double the previous year's figure. The blockchain facilitated a staggering $11.7 trillion in stablecoin transfers, a sevenfold increase over two years. Notably, equities made their debut on Solana in 2025, achieving a $1 billion supply and $651 million in trading volume. Bitcoin trading volume on Solana also saw a fivefold increase, reaching $33 billion and setting a new ATH, with total Bitcoin supply doubling to $770 million. Staked SOL tokens rose to 421 million, marking an 8% growth and another ATH. Furthermore, Solana ETFs attracted substantial net inflows of $1.02 billion. In the decentralized exchange landscape, total DEX volume on Solana reached $1.5 trillion, a 57% year-over-year growth and an ATH. SOL-stablecoin trading volume alone hit a record $782 billion, doubling year-over-year. Twelve DEX platforms processed over $10 billion in volume, with Raydium leading at $347 billion. AI agent volume also peaked at $31 billion, complemented by tokenized asset volume reaching $598 million and project token volume increasing to $86 billion. Despite these impressive figures, SOL is currently trading at $138.50, recovering 10% over the past week but still 50% below its ATH of $293 from last year's rally.
