These days, it’s visibly clear that Xiaohuihui can see it: the Solana ecosystem has become noticeably strong these days.
It’s not just SOL rising—several lines started moving together.
SOL moved first, reclaiming and holding above $120. Behind it are ETF flows, institutional buy pressure, and a rebound in risk appetite. Bitwise SOL Staking ETF (BSOL) alone saw weekly inflows of over $110 million.
Then the capital started spreading into the ecosystem.
Top projects in the Solana ecosystem:
Layer-1 chain SOL: about $73 billion in market cap
Launch platform PUMP: about $2.0 billion
Aggregation trading and DeFi protocol JUP: about $1.1 billion
Oracle PYTH: about $0.7 billion
DEX and liquidity protocol RAY: about $0.6 billion
Staking protocol JTO: about $0.3–0.4 billion
Meme coin BONK: about $0.3 billion
Launch platform STONK: about $0.2–0.3 billion
Meme coin WIF: about $0.2–0.3 billion
DEX and liquidity protocol ORCA: about $0.1 billion
As the main battlefield for memes, Solana’s launch platforms aren’t just the old-school PUMP. Recently, newer and more innovative playbooks like STONK and PAID have also emerged. Once one pattern appears, people copy it, improve it, and come up with something new.
In contrast, Robinhood Chain’s launch platforms are dominated by only one—PONS.
The depth and competition density of an ecosystem is the real moat for a blockchain.
