Solana's ambitions are growing bigger. Industry analyst Kyle Samani recently made a prediction: by the end of 2026, the trading volume of spot and perpetual contracts on the Solana chain could be on par with mainstream centralized exchanges, or even surpass them.

It sounds a bit ambitious, but upon closer reflection, it's not entirely impossible. If this prediction comes true, what will the entire Solana ecosystem experience? First, a flood of capital and users will pour in, and the valuation of ecosystem tokens will also rise accordingly. More importantly, this will fundamentally change the market's perception of Solana—from a high-speed blockchain to a true financial infrastructure, rather than just a speculative platform.

In other words, once this happens, Solana's position in the entire crypto financial landscape will undergo a qualitative leap. How much this will benefit SOL's long-term value—everyone can do the math.

Again, what does Kyle say that everyone believes? Surpassing CEX by 2026, just listen to it, it's too optimistic. Solana's stability is still an issue; financial infrastructure requires reliability. Now they're hyping it so much, what if they run away? It's better to be cautious. SOL indeed has potential, but I think this prediction is exaggerated. Solana is catching up in DeFi, but claiming to surpass is a bit far-fetched. Everyone is optimistic, but that actually signals risk—I've seen this pattern many times. A good ecosystem is great, but is there enough trading depth? That's a hard flaw.

It's still early for 2026; by then, it will be another story. Here we go again, praising Solana. I'll just watch and say nothing. Is Kyle Samani's prediction more accurate than others? First, a question mark. Trading volume surpassing CEX? If that's true, SOL should have already skyrocketed. To those who are going all-in on SOL now, be careful of ending up holding the bag. I think this is a good opportunity, but don't be too early. Sounds nice, but ultimately, it still depends on technology and security performance to keep up.
