On December 5th, 2024, Gate Ventures hosted an X Space (formerly Twitter) discussion that explored the outlook of the <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/solana-sol" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Solana</a> ecosystem for 2025 and beyond. With over 25,000 listeners joining the conversation, Sirada Lorhpat, Investment VP at Gate Ventures, led an insightful dialogue with Anh Tran, APAC Regional Lead of Solana's Superteam, covering everything from Solana's current state to its future trajectory and the key developments that make Solana stand out as one of the leading blockchain networks.

## A Thriving Ecosystem: Solana's Current Landscape
Kicking off the discussion, Sirada asked Anh about Solana's current standing and what makes it unique among blockchain platforms. Anh emphasized the incredible momentum Solana is experiencing, noting, "By all metrics, Solana is the most used blockchain," pointing to the platform's high transaction volume and active wallet count—with over 100 million active wallets, according to a16z's 2024 State of Crypto Report. Solana's extensive reach and active user base firmly establish it as a primary driver of on-chain activity across the entire blockchain space.

Anh highlighted that Solana's distinctive edge has always been its speed and affordability. As a layer 1 blockchain, Solana has long touted itself as the fastest, most cost-effective option, allowing it to attract a wide array of developers and users. Looking ahead, Solana's roadmap continues to focus on increasing bandwidth and decreasing latency to scale from 60,000 to 1 million transactions per second (TPS) in the coming years.

## Real-World Applications Gaining Traction
The conversation then shifted to real-world use cases gaining momentum on Solana. While meme tokens often grab headlines, Anh highlighted more impactful projects that showcase the versatility of Solana's blockchain. One particularly interesting use case is remittance, which enables cross-border transfers for workers abroad, facilitated by Solana's collaborations with banks and government entities. This allows seamless wallet-to-bank transfers, providing a significant value proposition for emerging markets like Thailand.

Anh also discussed the rise of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks), which aims to bring decentralized solutions to physical infrastructures like telecom and energy. Another noteworthy area is PayFi, with Solana recently integrating with PayPal's PYUSD and Visa to expand stablecoin settlements on the blockchain. These developments showcase the expansive utility of Solana beyond the crypto-native use cases, driving mass adoption.

## Looking Forward: The Solana Outlook for 2025
As the discussion moved toward Solana's outlook for the future, Anh expressed <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/optimism-op" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">optimism</a> about the potential for broader institutional adoption. In the next few years, Solana aims to scale its TPS significantly while making the blockchain more accessible to diverse markets, including traditional finance. Major developments include Grayscale's filing for a Solana ETF in the U.S. and French multinational bank Société Générale expanding its stablecoin EURCV to Solana—all indicative of rising institutional interest.

Anh summed up the future trajectory by stating, "Eventually, we're not going to call it 'DeFi,' we're going to call it 'finance'—we're not going to call it PayFi, we're going to call it 'payments.'" The vision is to make blockchain technology an everyday part of life, blending seamlessly with traditional financial services.

## Adoption Strategies Across Regions
Solana's community-building approach was also a key highlight. Anh detailed how different regions contribute uniquely to the growth of the Solana ecosystem. In Thailand, the focus is on driving innovation while working with regulatory bodies like the SEC and Bank of Thailand to shape policy. In contrast, in Japan, the emphasis is on building the developer community while integrating with established enterprises. In markets like Dubai, the strategy revolves around bringing liquidity on-chain from major financial players, while in Vietnam, it's all about nurturing a developer ecosystem to build innovative use cases.

## Projects to Watch
Anh also pointed out some of the most promising projects emerging on Solana. From Tensor, an NFT marketplace born out of a hackathon, to Honeycomb Protocol—which aims to simplify the transition of gaming assets onto the blockchain—the Solana ecosystem is witnessing the development of robust platforms that are bridging Web2 and <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Web3</a>. Huma Finance is another notable example, focusing on PayFi, including remittance and "buy now, pay later" solutions, bringing traditional finance use cases into the blockchain realm.

## Closing Thoughts
The X Space conversation with Anh Tran shed light on the exciting developments within the Solana ecosystem, its unique strengths, and the roadmap for making blockchain technology a part of everyday financial life. From increasing institutional adoption to regional community-building strategies, Solana's future is geared toward greater accessibility, speed, and real-world utility. As Anh summed it up, the ultimate goal is for blockchain-based finance to become an invisible, yet integral, part of our lives: "We're just going to call it 'money.'"
