Solana’s TVL soared to $5B in May 2025, up 40%, with DeFi projects like Saber driving a 15% SOL rise to $175.68, per web data. Each $1B TVL boost historically lifts SOL 10%—a $500M gain could push it to $190 by June. Trading volume, up 15%, supports this, but 99% uptime risks linger, a shadowy flaw. The market’s rhythm, a vibrant beat, weaves price potential—some question if TVL reflects true adoption. Solana’s ascent, a blazing thread, hinges on ecosystem strength, challenging overhyped growth narratives in this data-driven spectacle.
