Messari: ”Solana is expected to see explosive growth in 2025... Likely to break $4,000”

Global blockchain research institute Messari predicts strong growth for Solana, with the price of SOL exceeding $4,000 (approximately JPY 610,000) in 2025.
Messari recently released its 2025 Crypto Theses report, which revealed that the Solana ecosystem is set to reach $173 million (approximately $2.2 billion) in revenue in the third quarter.
This is the highest amount since the second quarter of 2022, proving Solana's growth potential.
■Expectations for the launch of the Solana spot ETF The report states that the possibility of launching a Solana spot ETF (exchange-traded index fund) and the gradual improvement of the regulatory environment will be key to Solana's success.
These positive factors are expected to encourage institutional investors to participate in the market, leading to the explosive expansion of the Solana ecosystem.
He also mentioned the possibility that the price of SOL could exceed $4,000. Firedancer significantly improves network performance
Messari cited the distribution of the Firedancer client as Solana’s core innovation. Firedancer is a global financial services company.
It is a high-performance validator solution developed by Jump Trading, a leading blockchain technology company, and is designed to dramatically improve Solana's transaction speed and scalability.
Firedancer, which will begin distribution of its mainnet in 2024, is aiming for full distribution in 2025 after undergoing gradual upgrades. This will allow Solana Network
This is expected to ensure client diversity and enhance security and stability, especially with less dependency on a single client code base.
Short-term challenges and long-term growth potential Messari noted that the short-term impact of Fire Dancer may be limited.
However, Solarana's continued technological innovation and improving regulatory environment will be key drivers of long-term growth.
If Solana is successful in obtaining approval for the SOL spot ETF and fully deploying Firedancer, it will further strengthen its position as a leading blockchain platform and drive market growth in the global market.
This will enable the company to secure a strong competitive edge.
