In 2024, Solana accounts for 49.3% of global investor interest in blockchain ecosystems. 
Experts from CoinGecko <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/most-popular-blockchain-ecosystems" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">analyzed</a> data on Internet requests between Jan. 1 and March 18, revealing that almost half of investors are interested in Solana. The leadership is fueled by SOL’s growth to highs since 2021, the development of ecosystem projects like Pyth, and the popularity of meme tokens such as Dogwifhat (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/dogwifhat/">WIF</a>).

Ethereum took second place in the ranking with an indicator of 12.7%, as experts believe that brand awareness and reputation play a role in favor of the ecosystem. However, observation shows investor attention is shifting towards second-layer networks built on Ethereum. 
The Binance-supported BNB Chain took third place with 5.4%, with interest mainly due to BNB’s growth. Experts noted that <a href="https://crypto.news/price/Solana/">SOL</a> has approached record levels.
