Pantera Capital Backs Solana as Top Blockchain for Global Payments

Pantera Capital says Solana (SOL) is the most commercially viable blockchain for markets and payments, citing its speed, affordability, and scalability.

The firm compares Solana’s “monolithic” design to Apple’s focus on seamless user experience, with the chain capable of handling 65,000 transactions per second at costs below one cent.

With 23 billion transactions year-to-date and 3.8 million daily active wallets—more than Bitcoin and Ethereum—Pantera highlights Solana’s growing dominance. Yet institutions hold less than 1% of SOL’s supply, versus 7% for ETH and 16% for BTC. Pantera believes that with an ETF approval possible by late 2025, Solana offers asymmetric upside potential and is just beginning its mainstream adoption story.
