Solana dazzles in 2025: $12B stablecoin TVL (up 140% YTD) and ETF nods propel SOL to $200-$300 forecasts, blending Rust's 4K TPS with Firedancer's uptime fix. Attractiveness? DeFi yields 15% above ETH, drawing $2.5B institutional inflows Q1. Risks tilt scales: 2025 outages (5% downtime) and 80% volatility eclipse gains, per Nansen—scams claim 10% user funds. Balance: 35% monthly surge tempers centralization fears (1.8K validators). For bulls: ETF approvals by Nov unlock $500 targets; bears eye $120 dips. Solana's Ferrari engine roars, but potholes lurk—allocate 5-10% for thrill-seekers chasing L1 gold.
