Solana network activity plunged 97% in Q4 2025, with active traders dropping from over 30 million in late 2024 to under 1 million. Network metrics show the decline aligned with a 58% fall in SOL’s price during the memecoin slump. Despite institutional interest, including Visa’s potential stablecoin use, Solana’s revenue fell fivefold in 2025. Ethereum’s $14 billion in annual revenue and stronger institutional adoption widened the gap with Solana’s $50.22 billion.
