Solana's application revenue has nearly doubled Hyperliquid's, driven by a significant increase in real-world asset (RWA) activity. Solana (SOL) is trading at ₹9,933 ($104.44). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoin.com, with live market data added, as of Sat, 17 Oct 2026 03:00:02 UTC.

Why it matters

This development highlights Solana's growing role in the RWA sector, potentially shifting its ecosystem away from meme coins and toward more substantial financial use cases.

Key takeaways
  • Solana's 30-day app revenue hits $193.1M, nearly double Hyperliquid's.
  • Solana's RWA market grew from $700M to $4.37B in a year.
  • DeFiLlama reports Hyperliquid's TVL at $325.73M, down 1.7% in 7 days.

Solana's application revenue has surged to $193.1 million over the past 30 days, according to research from Castle Labs, as reported by Bitcoin.com. This figure is nearly double the total value locked (TVL) of Hyperliquid, which stands at $325.73 million as of the latest data from DeFiLlama.

The growth in Solana's ecosystem is particularly notable in the real-world asset (RWA) sector. Over the past year, Solana's RWA market has grown from $700 million to $4.37 billion, suggesting a significant shift toward more traditional financial use cases.

This development comes as the broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.81 trillion. Bitcoin is down 0.63% in the last 24 hours, while Solana (SOL) has seen a 0.58% decrease in the same period, trading at $104.46.

The Fear & Greed Index currently stands at 55, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors. Despite the overall market's stability, Solana's strong performance in the RWA sector could signal a broader trend of increased institutional adoption and diversification within the crypto space.
