CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Lightspeed's predictions, the five major trends for Solana in 2025 are as follows:
1. Elon Musk's X platform will launch Solana native tokens: Musk is expected to introduce Solana tokens in conjunction with the X Premium subscription service, leveraging Solana's high throughput and low fees to enable e-commerce features within the platform.
2. The market value of stablecoins will grow fourfold: The market value of stablecoins on the Solana chain is expected to increase from the current $5 billion to $20 billion, primarily driven by startups like Perena and Lulo, as well as the entry of stablecoin issuers like PayPal and Sky.
3. Solana ETFs will be approved but perform worse than ETH: Although Solana ETFs may be approved under the new SEC leadership, market demand may not match that of BTC and ETH. The primary users of ETFs still prefer to invest in SOL directly through other channels.
4. Pump.fun may lose its leading position: Despite Pump.fun achieving $330 million in revenue in 2024, it is predicted that it may be replaced in 2025 by new, more innovative applications (such as AI-related platforms).
5. There will be no major network outages in 2025: With the launch of the Firedancer client and ongoing optimizations by the development team, Solana's frequency of outages has significantly decreased over the past two years, and it is expected to maintain stable operation in 2025. [Original link]
