Is Solana still a good investment for 2025?

[justdimin]

Solana, like other strong altcoins, has shown impressive performance since last year and could potentially offer higher profits than Ethereum or BNB in my view.

ETH and BNB is already way over priced in my opinion although ETH is still lacking behind and hasn't reached its ATH but it's showing weak price action in the daily and weekly chart.
So it's no wonder that solana can be more profitable than these two.

Personally i stacked sol and have been restaking it hoping the APR generated can be multiplied through capital gain.
Could be the best decision or the worst decision, but at least i'm trying.

ETH has a higher value than in BNB but if you think ETH still lacked on something, then you shouldn't say it is overpriced. Maybe you are not aware yet of the latest move of ETH. I do not know if they won't still fill that lacking some people think they have but for sure this is not the end. ETH have still reached a lot of ATH in the past but maybe it is also possible that you are only referring on the current cycle. They might reach it when their updates are done.

As for BNB, I don't know what they are up to but they also have a lot of potential, due to the fact that their value is still smaller than ETH. We don't know if SOL can sustain its performance, so it is also a good idea to have some back-ups and ETH and BNB can be among it.

Well now there is a good chance that a Solana ETF does get approved in this year. It is 88 percent chance that this does happen. And I do think we will see some big gains when that does.
Solana did have a good week for gains. The token is up 15 percent and it is most in top of the coinmarketcap.

I’ve seen a lot more ecosystem growth especially in areas like DeFi, NFTs and GameFi. In 2024 the network’s uptime has been solid especially since they implemented upgrades like Firedancer a new validator client. It’s too early to say the problem is permanently fixed but there’s been visible progress. I’d say Solana has a lot of potential if you’re thinking long-term. Of course it’s still crypto so there’s always volatility and risk but in terms of real-world adoption and technical improvements, Solana’s heading in the right direction.

I can't really speak for if Solana is a good investment on it's own, but it's blockchain is providing some interesting investments.  With 60 stocks now trading on Solana in tokenized form, you are able to provide liquidity pairs between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin for example, or Tesla and AMD, etc...  There are many options that allow you to in the case of AMD/Tesla, earn income from holding stocks that otherwise don't pay any sort of dividends or income.  This is a bit of a game changer and it remains to be seen how popular it gets, but it is something worth looking into.

It has become clear that Solana network is solid enough to hold its own in a volatile and highly competitive market. I believe Solana's success was a direct result of the decline of the Ethereum network's market position and its long period of development issues, some of which remain unresolved to this day. Solana was able to gain significant market share, becoming a real competitor to a giant project like Ethereum, which may have deepened the Ethereum crisis.

Solana is not the only network to have benefited from Ethereum's crises. There is also the Tron network and, more recently, the rise of Ton network. Therefore, Solana's success cannot be discussed in isolation from its competitors in the market.

However, I’ve also read about the network outages Solana has faced in the past, which makes me a bit cautious. Some say it’s improving, while others think these issues could return during high traffic periods.

As someone who’s new to crypto and looking to hold a few coins for the long term, I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts.

SOLANA is a nice project, if you are looking forward to invest in altcoins, then I will recommend you add SOLANA to your list, just buy and hold, and you will be making your money in future, but when investing you have to be cautious, you should know SOLANA is a altcoin, and whenever we investing in altcoins, we are suppose to be careful always, anything can happen at anytime, the coin which we expect to perform well might end up disappointing us, but I will say SOLANA is not a bad investment.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been researching Solana (SOL) recently and found that many people praise it for its high speed and low transaction costs. Compared to Ethereum, it seems more efficient in terms of performance and user experience.

However, I’ve also read about the network outages Solana has faced in the past, which makes me a bit cautious. Some say it’s improving, while others think these issues could return during high traffic periods.

Solana as a currency is lightyears better than Ethereum and most other alts.

Instant tx and confirms is amazing. Instant swaps and no BS.

Now in terms of Investing in Solana, holding Solana, staking Solana, or holding Jupiter Staked SOL are all very promising long term holds. Memecoins made Solana very well known to the public eye.

Do not hold any memecoins, and do not trade any memecoins. You will get burned and farmed by insiders and botters.

If you want to generate passive income with Solana, look into botting instead. I do copytrade botting on Solana which works very well for me.

Congrats to Solana on their spot ETF approval.  I see that SSK had itself a nice opening day.  I think investors will flock to staking ETFs and that will certainly benefit Solana.

This has been a hell of a week for SOL.  First they list 60 real stocks on the chain, and now they get an ETF...  I would say they are definitely the big winner of the week.  The ability to provide liquidity with a Bitcoin / S&P 500 liquidity pool has me feeling like going full shitcoiner.  At least with my free cash flow.  I'd never swap my BTC for SOL, but buying wBTC with cash on the Solana chain and pairing with the S&P 500 is a no brainer.

Recent have some news like Future Quantum Threats, as per Thecryptoblunt media they saying Solana news As quantum computing transformed from distant theory to a practical risk in 2025, Solana developers assert they have initiated testing quantum-resistant cryptography to ready themselves for a future where today’s technology may no longer be viable.

This means that Solana developers are ready to face the challenges that will come in the future, so it is possible that Solana coins will be able to develop further in the future. I also see and try to speculate for the future, so I assume that Solana is still a good investment option for the future. And not only that, but now we can see evidence that the development and community are getting stronger.

There is no issue at the moment for quantum attack since there are still errors on quantum computers, attacks from quantum computers might be still like be years or 20 years or more but by the time quantum computers are perfect, Solana and other are more secure and are not prone for such attacks or might have other ways to prevent attacks, since they have develop or make a code that will help secure the network from such threat or attack.

This downplays the scale of the challenge it's not about errors in quantum computers now, it's about preparing before they're perfect, all major chains are vulnerable.
the development is happening at the cryptography level, not the blockchain level. So while it's not a 2024 issue claiming any chain is currently "more secure" against it isn't correct.
it's a shared problem needing a shared solution.

If you are talking about the top altcoins in the market then its totally absurd not to mention Solana because solana has been part of the picture for a very long time now and with the rate of development it's only time before they even surpass some of the super altcoins out there and the developer themselves will be aware of this and make every necessary improvements to south it's growth in the future time coming.

For me, Solana remains one of the best long-term investments in the crypto space. Regardless of what happens in the market, it stays a top priority for my DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategy because it has already proven so much in the crypto world.

However, investors should exercise extra caution when it comes to projects rising under the Solana network, particularly meme coins. In my opinion, it is much better and safer to invest in SOL itself.

Good to know that.

Apparently ethereum is still on research phase to prepare for a countermeasure against quantum computing, but I expected most of L1 will take time to upgrade, it seems like they are still focused on scaling and privacy these days.
Honestly though, I don't really think quantum computing will be a threat at least until 2030 as stated by nvidia CEO.
