Solana leads public chain profits, becoming the central hub for encryption high-speed transactions.
Solana is becoming the high-speed trading hub of the encryption world
Solana is gradually becoming the high-speed trading hub of the encryption world, designed for fast transactions, on-chain composability, and large-scale yield processing. The following three key data points support this view:
The SaaSization of launch platforms: Emerging platforms have surpassed established ones, achieving a 60% success rate and entering liquidity pools, with daily revenues exceeding $1 million. Creator loyalty is declining, and retention rates and trading volumes have become new competitive advantages.
Tokenized stocks become core collateral: they bring around-the-clock liquidity, modular margining, and capital unlocking to private markets. The real market potential lies in the circulation of relisted equity.
Solana's revenue structure is diversified: In the second quarter, revenue reached 570 million USD, accounting for 46% of all public chain revenue. The main sources of income include decentralized applications, robot services, launch platforms, and productive tools.
New Landscape of Launch Platforms
The rise of emerging platforms is not just a digital game:
Market Insights
Retaining high-value trading volume is the true competitive barrier. The project success rate essentially reflects the net revenue retention rate of the launch platform; whoever can institutionalize it first will win the enterprise-level API integration market.
Although established platforms still occupy a large share of creators' minds (with cumulative revenue of about $700 million), new platforms have proven that the cost of user migration is close to zero. The next round of user attrition may be planned, such as top influencers offering "24-hour listing exchange" guarantee services.
Project Valuation: Even with a daily revenue stabilizing at 1 million dollars, the annual revenue can reach 100 million dollars. With a profit margin of about 80% on the Solana infrastructure, this protocol, which has only been online for a year, has already demonstrated a SaaS-level economic model. Even excluding extreme volatility factors, based on a 10-15 times forward sales calculation, a valuation of 1-2 billion dollars is still possible.
The near-zero conversion cost indicates that users' mindset is temporary rather than a long-term ownership. Established platforms accumulated $700 million in revenue within 18 months, but new platforms captured a large market share in less than three weeks.
The reform of the incentive mechanism means:
Competition strategy for newcomers: Invest heavily in incentive measures, promote leaderboard effects centered around tokens and days, and achieve profitability before resetting the customer acquisition cost model.
From the perspective of funnel economics, gaining trading volume is relatively easy, but project success is the key.
Tokenized Stocks: A New Entry Point for Liquidity in Traditional Finance
Tokenized stocks are not just stock mirrors on the blockchain; they:
The ultimately successful blockchain ecosystem needs to have three core elements: a regulated token issuance mechanism, a sound oracle system, and a highly liquid perpetual contract market. The winner will become the infrastructure in the field of tokenized equity, fully capturing value growth opportunities.
realization of value of tokenized stocks
Some platforms have put the synthetic put options of Apple Inc. ($AAPL) on-chain, while converting illiquid assets or private equity into composable collateral.
Two fundamental structures that realize the true value of tokenized stocks:
Solana as an encryption ecosystem's revenue engine
Solana's revenue for the second quarter reached $570 million, accounting for 46% of the market share. The revenue of other major public chains is as follows:
This reflects two facts:
The reason driven by professional users
Solana optimizes the full lifecycle value for professional users, while centralized exchanges must bear the costs of identity verification, fiat channels, and new user support.
Conclusion
Solana is committed to maximizing the full lifecycle value of professional users, while centralized exchanges bear the costs of identity verification, fiat channel maintenance, and novice support.
The fastest-growing companies in the encryption field view blockchain as a high-speed channel for capital markets.
