Solana gains tokenized asset inflows while Ethereum experiences outflows

Solana attracted $263 million in new investment for tokenized real-world assets in the 30 days to August 19. At the same time, Ethereum lost $337 million in the same category. Tokenization means converting traditional assets, like stocks or bonds, into digital tokens on a blockchain.

Ethereum still holds far more tokenized assets overall, $17.2 billion compared to Solana's $3.8 billion. Ethereum also processed $18.8 trillion in stablecoin transactions in 2025. However, its share of blockchain developers has fallen from 82% in 2020 to 31% in 2025. Solana now has 23% of developers.

Solana offers faster transactions and lower fees, which has attracted investors looking for alternatives. It has suffered several network outages since launching in 2020.
