SAEDNEWS: Solana Surpasses Ethereum in Annual Revenue in 2025, Shifting Investor Outlook with New Financial Data and ETF Growth
According to the cryptocurrency section of Saed News, Anatoly Yakovenko, founder of Solana, has shared new data indicating that Solana has surpassed Ethereum in annual revenue—a development that could signal a significant shift in how value is distributed in the cryptocurrency market. According to figures published by DeFi Development Corp, Solana’s projected revenue is around $1.4 billion, compared with Ethereum’s estimated $522 million.
In another post on X, Yakovenko described the past year as “crazy” and raised the question of whether open, permissionless protocols can achieve sustainable long-term growth and consistent revenue. He believes this challenge remains unresolved for a large part of the industry.
Yakovenko also expects the total value of the cryptocurrency market to grow in the future, but emphasizes that this value should ultimately be distributed based on actual revenue, rather than narratives or speculation. He stressed that layer-one blockchains can secure a long-term position only by focusing on the “execution layer,” meaning a global, decentralized network with low latency, high processing power, and resistance to censorship.
These comments come amid increasing attention on real economic activity and revenue generation within major networks, including Ethereum, as investors place greater focus on fundamental factors.
Anthony Scaramucci has predicted that major companies such as BlackRock, Blackstone, and JPMorgan may use Solana for transactions, identifying the network as a potential major winner in the tokenization space. Such adoption could have a significant impact on Solana’s price.
Additionally, data from Farside indicates that Solana ETFs have attracted nearly $700 million in inflows since their launch, reflecting strong investor demand from the outset.
