Ethereum maintained DeFi dominance in 2025 with ~68% TVL share at $99B+, while Solana grew to $9-12B, capturing 10-15% amid fierce competition in volume and transactions. Solana's stablecoin supply surged 567% to $12B, outpacing Ethereum in DEX volume ($1.5T vs. Ethereum's lower figures), pressuring Ethereum's market share through superior speed and low fees.
Layer2 scaling mitigated this: L2 TVL rose from $4B to $47B (now ~$38B), boosting throughput to 4,800-5,600 TPS, reducing costs, and retaining institutional adoption within Ethereum's ecosystem. This preserved Ethereum's lead, fostering interoperability and deeper DeFi integration heading into 2026.
