Solana’s surging cross-chain bridge usage, with $10.1 billion in volume in 2025, up 114% from 2024 per cryptotimes.io, signals robust ecosystem growth that could elevate its market value. Bridges like Wormhole and deBridge facilitate seamless asset transfers, boosting liquidity and DeFi activity, as @Xiaohe085 notes with Solana’s stablecoin market cap hitting $12.8 billion. This interoperability attracts users and developers, historically correlating with SOL’s 2023 price rally. However, Ethereum’s $38 billion bridge dominance and macro risks like tariffs may cap gains. While increased bridge activity supports SOL’s value, competition and volatility temper the upside.
