Solana (SOL) Shoot 9% On Franklin Templeton Endorsement

Solana's Accelerated Adoption Lauded by Franklin Templeton

Investment asset management firm Franklin Templeton published a report detailing Solana's (SOL) accelerated adoption over time. With the validation from the firm, Solana has jumped by more than 9% to $138.46.**

Franklin Templeton Praises Solana's Resilience

Solana's survival and resilience after the unfortunate implosion of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange were noted. The cryptocurrency suffered a significant setback in 2022 but has since demonstrated commendable resilience.

Franklin Templeton highlighted that Solana has successfully captured a substantial portion of crypto activities from 2023 through 2024.

Despite various challenges, including network congestion faced in March 2024, Franklin Templeton remains optimistic about the protocol's prospects. It suggests that Solana's growth is likely to continue, particularly as it is well-positioned for the next wave of crypto adoption.

In the long run, this could contribute to SOL establishing its dominance as the third major crypto asset after Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Franklin Templeton observed that Solana's activity and adoption peaked in Q4, 2023, following airdrops like Jito and Pyth within its ecosystem.

Memecoin Activities Flourish on Solana

These airdrops contributed to the inflows witnessed by the Solana ecosystem during that period. They had a significant impact on SOL and other Solana-based tokens, especially memecoins. Notably, the Solana ecosystem has seen a considerable share of the memecoin activities that have recently taken place in the crypto landscape.

Bonk (BONK) and Dogwifhat (WIF) were among the top-performing memecoins, securing multiple listings on major trading platforms such as Revolt. The Solana ecosystem has witnessed the creation of numerous crypto assets on its network, with their market cap reaching unprecedented levels.

Similarly, the network has recorded notable increases in its total fees and decentralized exchange (DEX) volume. However, it still boasts one of the lowest fees, lowest transaction latency, and highest data throughput compared to other networks.

Franklin Templeton's Optimism for Solana's Future

Franklin Templeton anticipates the next wave of innovations in the crypto landscape to emerge through Solana. These include the Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN), micropayments, compressed Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and Centralized Limit Order Book (CLOB).

Overall, the investment manager expresses optimism about the Solana ecosystem, despite the congestion issues it is gradually resolving.
