CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Messari's 2025 Crypto Theses report, Solana is likely to experience strong growth in 2025. The report states that in the third quarter of 2024, Solana's ecosystem financing reached $173 million, the highest record since the second quarter of 2022. As the launch of spot SOL ETFs becomes increasingly likely, a more relaxed regulatory environment is expected to attract more institutional participation, driving explosive market growth. Some analysts even predict that the price of SOL could exceed $4,000.
In addition, the Firedancer client has been deployed on the Solana mainnet this year, developed by Jump Trading. It is a high-performance validator client designed to enhance the transaction speed and scalability of the blockchain. The initial version will be rolled out in phases, primarily focusing on improvements at the network layer. Future versions will further expand functionalities, enhancing the overall performance and reliability of Solana. Firedancer plans to be fully deployed by 2025, and is expected to enhance the diversity of clients on the SOL network, increase activity and security, and reduce reliance on a single client codebase. However, Messari points out that its short-term impact may be limited, as the deployment of other clients still faces bottlenecks, and Firedancer's full potential may take more time to be fully realized.
