Solana: Криптовалюта, которая может стать предпочтением Уолл-стрит благодаря скорости и инновациям Translated Headline: Solana: The Cryptocurrency That Could Become Wall Streets Preference Due to Speed and Innovations

Solana is set to surpass Ethereum as the favored network for stablecoins and asset tokenization due to its rapid transaction speeds and instant confirmations. This was stated by Bitwise’s Chief Investment Officer, Matt Hougan, in a conversation with Solana Foundation representative Akshay BD.

Hougan referred to Solana as the «new Wall Street,» emphasizing that traditional investors view «stablecoins» and real-world assets (RWAs) as a revolutionary shift in payment, equity, bond, and real estate markets.

«Bittocoin seems too abstract for them, but stablecoins and tokenization are what will hold significant importance,» he remarked.

According to Hougan, Solana’s performance will be a key advantage, with transaction finalization speeds reaching 400 milliseconds and moving towards 150 microseconds. This makes the network appealing to Wall Street traders who are accustomed to instantaneous settlements.

Offchain Labs’ Strategic Director, AJ Warner, presented a counterpoint, highlighting that the gap in Total Value Locked (TVL) between Ethereum and Solana is about fifteen times greater than that between Solana and any other network.

«TVL is not the only metric to consider, but I don’t think there’s any doubt on where new stablecoins are best launched,» he noted.

As of the drafting of this article, data from DeFi Llama shows Ethereum dominates the stablecoin market with a 53.7% share ($160.8 billion), while Solana holds around 5% ($14.9 billion).

Bitwise has been actively advocating for Solana repeatedly. At Token2049 in Singapore, the firm’s director, Hunter Horsley, mentioned in an interview with Cointelegraph that the network might surpass Ethereum in the ETF segment due to its ability to quickly unlock assets.

The organization currently offers the Bitwise Physical Solana ETP with physical holdings of SOL, although interest has been modest—only $30 million under management. Additionally, Bitwise is awaiting a decision from the SEC regarding a spot Solana ETF.

According to a report by VanEck dated October 3, the Alpenglow upgrade is set to be the largest change to Solana’s consensus mechanism since its inception. This update will reduce transaction finalization time to 150 milliseconds, simplify validator operations through off-chain voting, and lower costs via the Validator Admission Ticket system.

Increasing block capacity by 25% and launching the Firedancer client at the end of 2025 will enhance the network’s scalability and resilience. The P-token library developed by Anza will decrease computational demands by 95%, while the Rotor data distribution protocol and local signature aggregation will stabilize the blockchain even with 40% of validators offline.

These enhancements bolster Solana’s position as a platform for DeFi, gaming, and tokenized assets, potentially drawing in more institutional investors.

Notably, in May, experts from Swiss crypto bank Sygnum did not see convincing evidence that Solana would surpass Ethereum in institutional preferences.
