Solana’s share of tokenized real-world assets jumped 218 % to US $550 million this year, while Ethereum still controls roughly 84 % of the market, a new study from Analytics Insight shows. The outlet reported growth on Tuesday, framing 2025 as a turning point in the contest between the two networks.
Separate research by Messari tracked climb of Solana-based tokens 141 % year-to-date, yet Cointelegraph highlighted dominance of Ethereum, which anchors most of the US $24 billion RWA sector thanks to mature DeFi rails and deep liquidity.
“Solana’s appeal comes from high throughput, near-zero fees and a fast-growing developer base,” Messari analyst Matthew Nay wrote in July, forecasting the chain could triple its 3.9 % market share within two years, though he warned that liquidity and regulation remain hurdles.
Forbes recently forecast boom in tokenized property and credit, projecting the market to reach trillions as banks pilot on-chain bonds and real-estate funds. Whether Solana’s speed or Ethereum’s depth wins the race, analysts agree the real prize is unlocking the world’s illiquid assets for round-the-clock global trade.
