Where Will Solana Be in 5 Years?

The Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) blockchain has a reputation for being cheaper, faster, and more eco-friendly than Bitcoin and Ethereum, yet it still lags behind the two tokens in terms of price, trading volume, and market capitalization. However, that may not matter at all, as Solana is carving out a major lane of its own.Solana has had a strong year of integration within different financial markets, especially in the institutional sector.
