Solana Breakpoint 2025 — what actually matters.
6,000 attendees in Abu Dhabi. Biggest event yet.
Key announcements:
→ XRP bridging to Solana DeFi (wXRP via Hex Trust)
→ Ellipsis Labs launching new perps exchange
→ Jupiter expanding trading products
→ Infrastructure upgrades (ACE, MCP)
The vibe shift:
2023: "Will Solana survive?"
2024: "Solana is back"
2025: "Solana is infrastructure"
Meme coins still exist. But the conversation moved to perps, prediction markets, and institutional flow.
DEX volume: consistently rivaling Ethereum.
Weekly transactions: hundreds of millions.
Active addresses: tens of millions.
The "ETH killer" narrative is dead.
This is just where high-velocity DeFi lives now.
