<p>According to&nbsp;<a href="https://research.nansen.ai/articles/solana-past-present-and-future" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">recent findings</a>&nbsp;from Nansen, Solana’s Total Value Locked has nearly doubled since the beginning of the year, reaching a substantial 30.95 million SOL, as the Solana vs. Ethereum ratio has since been reported to be approaching year-long highs.</p>
