Solana (SOL) has recently witnessed significant growth, overtaking XRP to become the fifth-largest cryptocurrency. This surge, marked by a 60% increase in a month, was largely driven by the popularity of the Bonk (BONK) meme coin, contributing to a dramatic rise in Solana's market cap to $38.4 billion. Moreover, the total value locked (TVL) on Solana's blockchain exceeded $1.22 billion, signaling strong activity in decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized applications (DApps).

In addition to these achievements, Solana surpassed Ethereum in 24-hour trading volume on decentralized exchanges, recording over $1.475 billion. This milestone underscores the platform's appeal due to lower transaction costs and increasing user adoption, further buoyed by the launch of various successful tokens and airdrops on its network.

Looking ahead, the future of Solana appears promising, with sustained growth in DeFi and DApp sectors. Its competitive transaction costs and expanding user base could continue to drive its market position. However, the long-term sustainability of this growth, especially in the volatile cryptocurrency market, remains subject to market dynamics and technological advancements in the blockchain space [[❞]](https://insidebitcoins.com/news/solana-flips-xrp-to-become-the-fifth-largest-crypto-amid-bonk-fired-meme-coin-mania) [[❞]](https://cointelegraph.com/news/solana-sol-market-cap-flips-xrp-what-is-behind-the-price-surge) [[❞]](https://coinedition.com/solana-makes-history-flips-ethereum-on-dex-24-hour-trading-volume/).
