Solana (SOL) currently accounts for 15% of the smart contract platform (SCP) market capitalization, with projections indicating a rise to 22% by the end of 2025, which could push SOLs price to $520, according to a recent report by VanEck.
Solanas market cap expansion is driven by its strong developer presence, increasing share of decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes, rising revenue, and growing active user base.
VanEcks valuation model ties Solanas expected SCP market share to the U.S. M2 money supply growth, which has historically correlated with crypto market capitalization. M2 includes cash, checking deposits, and short-term investments and serves as a broad measure of money supply in the US and eurozone.
The M2 money supply is projected to reach $22.3 trillion by the end of 2025, maintaining a 3.2% annualized growth rate since October 2023.
Regression analysis suggests total SCP market capitalization will grow 43% to $1.1 trillion by the end of 2025, surpassing its 2021 peak of $989 billion.
Using an autoregressive (AR) model, VanEck estimated that Solanas market capitalization could reach approximately $250 billion. With 486 million floating tokens, this implies a SOL price target of $520.
Scaling revenue
Solana has gained prominence among layer-1 blockchains, leading in DEX volumes (45% market share), chain revenues (45%), and daily active wallets (33%) as of January 2024.
VanEck projected that Solanas expected revenue could reach an annualized rate of $6 billion if the current trend continues. The networks revenue comes from three primary sources: base fees, priority fees, and maximal extractable value (MEV).
The base fees represent the minimum network usage cost and amounted to 1% of Solanas January revenue. Meanwhile, the priority fees are tips users pay for faster transaction inclusion, totaling 43% of the networks revenue.
MEV represented most of Solanas revenue last month, as 56% was secured through fees earned by block builders optimizing transaction execution.
Boosting MEV
Solanas MEV revenue structure allows block builders to capture 60% of MEV value, with validators retaining 40%. If validators were to capture 80% of MEV, mirroring Ethereums structure, MEV-derived revenue could increase from $3.4 billion to $6.8 billion, a 56% rise in SOLs validator revenue.
The report highlighted that improvements to Solanas Jito system, protocol enhancements, and the implementation of Firedancer could further facilitate the growth.
However, in its current state, Solanas MEV capture is inefficient due to private memory pools and insider advantages.
Approximately 92% of validators use Jitos MEV auction software, yet many also engage in private mempools, giving some traders a competitive edge. Addressing this issue could enhance Solanas MEV revenue capture.
The report proposed solutions, including validator whitelists to prevent collusion, application-level MEV protections to reduce front-running, RFQ (Request-for-Quote) systems to enhance pricing transparency on DEXs, and software patches to mitigate known attack vectors.
Additionally, a multi-leader model allowing multiple validators to propose blocks simultaneously would reduce dominant block builder influence.
Dapp growth
Solanas application ecosystem has expanded, overtaking Ethereum in decentralized application revenue. In 2022, Ethereum dapps generated 84% of all revenue, while Solana accounted for 0.26%. By 2024, Ethereums share fell to 32%, while Solanas rose to 42%.
Solanas dapp revenue surged from $4 million in 2022 to $1.25 billion in 2024. The network has also become a primary destination for developers, adding 7,625 new developers in 2024, compared to Ethereums 6,456.
If MEV optimizations are successfully implemented, Solanas validator revenue could increase significantly, supporting greater demand for SOL and positioning its price over $500 by the end of the year.
