Future Upgrades for Ethereum and Solana

In 2025, Solana plans the Firedancer upgrade, expected to significantly increase transaction speed and attract more investors. Ethereum focuses on security enhancements through its Prague/Electra upgrades, which will have a lesser direct impact on Ether's value.

Current Positions and Metrics

Despite recent price declines, Solana continues to lead in several key metrics. In January, Solana's decentralized exchange trading volume exceeded $3.98 billion, surpassing the combined volume of Ethereum and Base.
