Daniel Choung notes that SOL is showing “incredible” strength and remains the most favored asset in the current market cycle.

SOL’s growth is being driven by multiple factors, including the hype surrounding meme tokens, high volumes of stablecoins, and activity in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. Choung also noted the imminent release of Firedancer, a validation client developed by Jump Crypto to improve network performance.

Analysts at the Binance crypto exchange also spoke about the faster growth of the Solana ecosystem compared to other L1 networks at the end of last year.

Earlier this month, Solana ranked first in terms of throughput among L1 and L2 networks according to analysts at CoinGecko. The network set a record of 1054 transactions per second (TPS) on April 6. The figure represents only 1,6% of the theoretical top speed of 65 000 TPS.
