Solana Shatters Records: 2025 Annual Review Reveals New All-Time Highs In Key Metrics

[Ben Graham]

Solana (SOL), one of the foremost blockchains in the cryptocurrency sector, recently released its annual review for 2025, showcasing major growth across several key metrics, including daily active wallets and decentralized exchange (DEX) volume. 

Seven Solana Apps Break $100 Million Revenue Barrier 

According to the report issued on social media platform X (previously Twitter) applications built on Solana generated $2.39 billion in revenue, reflecting a year-over-year increase of 46% and marking a new all-time high (ATH). 

Seven standout applications in particular, including Pumpfun, each surpassed the $100 million revenue threshold in 2025. Additionally, the variety of smaller applications—those earning under $100 million—collectively produced over $500 million in revenue.

The network’s performance indicators are equally impressive. Solana achieved a revenue of $1.4 billion, demonstrating a 48-fold increase over the past two years. Non-vote transactions reached a new ATH of 33 billion, with a year-over-year growth of 28%. 

Furthermore, the network averaged 1,054 non-vote transactions per second (TPS) while unique active wallets averaged 3.2 million daily, marking a 50% increase year-on-year. In terms of wallet growth, Solana saw 725 million new wallets.

Bitcoin Trading Volume Skyrockets To $33 Billion

In terms of asset management, Solana’s stablecoin supply ended the year at $14.8 billion, more than doubling year-on-year. The blockchain facilitated a colossal $11.7 trillion in stablecoin transfers, marking a sevenfold increase over two years. 

Notably, equities made their debut on Solana in 2025, achieving a supply of $1 billion and trading volume of $651 million. Bitcoin trading volume grew fivefold compared to the previous year, reaching $33 billion and solidifying a new ATH. The total Bitcoin supply also doubled to $770 million.

Staked SOL also saw an increase, with 421 million tokens staked, representing an 8% growth and another ATH. Additionally, the introduction of Solana ETFs attracted net inflows of $1.02 billion.

SOL-Stablecoin Volume Soars To $782 Billion

In the realm of decentralized exchanges, the total DEX volume reached $1.5 trillion, reflecting a 57% year-over-year growth and another all-time high for the network’s annual review. 

The trading volume for SOL-stablecoins set a record at $782 billion, more than doubling year-over-year. Twelve DEX platforms managed to process over $10 billion in volume, with Raydium leading the way at $347 billion.

Furthermore, the artificial intelligence (AI) agent volume reached a new all-time high of $31 billion, along with tokenized asset volume rising to $598 million and project token volume increasing to $86 billion.

In the sectors of memecoins and launchpads, memecoin volume totaled $482 billion, although this represented a slight decline of 10% year-on-year. Launchpads had a successful year as well, with six platforms generating over $1 billion in volume and launchpad revenue doubling year-on-year to $762 million. 

Trading platforms contributed significantly to Solana’s ecosystem, earning $940 million, a 44% increase compared to the prior year. Moreover, the trading volume processed by these platforms reached $108 billion, up 66% year-on-year.
