Solana's key differentiated advantages over Aptos (and similar competitors like Sui) in institutional-grade scaling include:
Mature ecosystem & liquidity — vastly larger TVL, DeFi volume, and developer adoption, providing deeper institutional-grade markets and network effects.
Proven institutional traction — multiple spot ETFs (Fidelity, Grayscale, etc.), massive derivatives open interest (~$65B), and consistent inflows, far outpacing Aptos' emerging RWA focus.
Real-world battle-tested throughput — Solana delivers reliable high TPS under live load with Firedancer upgrades, while Aptos' superior theoretical 160k TPS remains less proven at scale.
First-mover composability — established DeFi primitives and tooling attract institutions needing immediate liquidity over Aptos' security-first Move model (strong for RWA but smaller ecosystem).
Solana excels in production institutional readiness; Aptos leads in theoretical safety and RWA potential.
